Chapter 45: Golden Globes

"Titanic" is a film produced and distributed by Twentieth Century Fox and operated by CAA agency, so in terms of Oscar operation, in addition to Bill McNick's strong connections, CAA's boss Brian Lord also specially arranged a banquet.

Let Cameron, Donn, Leonardo, Kate, the main creators of "Titanic", have a meal with some of the old men of the Oscars and make friends.

Don didn't like this kind of occasion very much, but he was good at dancing with long sleeves.

After a deep conversation with Francis Coppola, Donn's malice towards stubborn old men like Oscar was much lower.

After all, they are real Hollywood filmmakers, not capitalists who are in charge of the life and death of the film company.

No matter how big the contradiction of the people in the circle is, it is also an internal contradiction.

Voting for the Oscars will take place on February 1 next year, with a one-week deadline.

Now there are still two months to go, and the major cows, ghosts, snakes and gods have appeared, and the cold winter is precisely the hottest and busiest season for Oscar.

With Francis Coppola's assurance, and the operation of Bill McNick and Brian Lorde, Don has no problem getting an Oscar nomination for Best Director.

The post-production of "My Grand Greek Wedding" has been largely completed, and it has reached the dubbing stage.

During this time, I don't know if it was deliberately smeared by Oscar's competitors, or in order to brush up the heat, there were a lot of reports on Donne's private life in the gossip tabloids.

Liv Taylor, Kate Winslet, Katherine Haigl...... Even Nicole Kidman is on the list!

Everyone else is easy to say, but Nicole Kidman's husband is Tom Cruise, and so much pressure makes her start a fire as soon as she sees Done.

"Nicole, Nicole, don't get excited, listen to me, nothing happened between us, right?" Donn avoided Nicole Kidman's frosty eyes.

"But you've caused serious trouble in my marriage!" said Nicole Kidman, frenzied.

Don patiently explained: "Nicole, think about it, does Tom Cruise believe you? If he believes you, of course everything is fine. If I don't believe you...... Do you still need to be angry?"

"You...... What do you mean?" said Nicole Kidman, startled.

Don said in a deep voice: "Nicole, although you and I don't have much contact, I know that your married life is not happy, and you have been living in the shadow of Tom Cruise, you can't get rid of his shadow, you have only one impression on everyone, that is Mrs. Cruise!"

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

Nicole Kidman calmed down, and gradually felt a chill in her body.

"Didn't you want to leave him?"

Donn's words, like a thunderbolt from the blue, resounded in Nicole Kidman's ears, and his green eyes released an incredible light.

……

Time flies, it's 1998.

In addition to continuing in individual theaters, "Titanic" has been released worldwide, with a cumulative global box office of $1,874.78 million, successfully completing Donn's prediction. Among them, the North American box office was 600.46 million US dollars, which made the whole Hollywood dazzled.

Donne's other film, My Grand Greek Wedding, has officially completed post-production and is about to be released with Twentieth Century Fox.

On January 18th, the main event will be the "Golden Globe Awards" presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which will be held at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.

"Titanic" is the biggest hit, and has won eight nominations, including Best Picture in a Drama, Best Actor in a Drama, Best Actress in a Drama, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Original Song, and Best Film Score.

The core production team of "Titanic", including Donn, also appeared and became the most shining crew on the red carpet tonight.

Especially when Kate Winslet walked on the red carpet with Done Walker in one hand and Leonardo Ricaprio in the other, fans erupted in piercing screams, as if they could shake the entire Beverly Hills.

After an interview with ABC TV, I finally entered the venue.

The Golden Globe Awards ceremony was held in a formal banquet format, with the "Titanic" crew sitting in the first row near the podium.

Without a doubt, they are the deserving protagonists of tonight!

The Golden Globe Awards are awards for film and television, and for the sake of ratings, they will be randomly awarded according to the requirements of the banquet director, and the first award awarded is the Best Actor in a Musical with a lot of gold.

Jack Nicholson won the award for his outstanding performance in the movie "Perfect".

This was followed by several TV awards, and then there was a very eye-catching award - Best Actress in a Drama Series!

The crew of "Titanic" suddenly became nervous, especially Kate Winslet, who pursed her lips tightly and swept her gaze to Done.

Her biggest rival is Judi Dench, the heroine of the movie "Mrs. Brown", an old woman.

"I have a gut feeling that you're going to win!"

Leonardo squeezed his eyes and laughed at Kate.

Don chose to be silent.

He also believes that Kate Winslet definitely deserves to win the award for Best Actress in a Drama Series.

If Helen Hunter's play in "Perfect" is incomparable, and Kate is a little immature, it makes sense. But "Perfect" competes for Best Actress in a Musical Comedy, and has no competition with Kate Winslet.

With Kate Winslet's performance in "Titanic", it can be described as amazing, especially the interpretation in the second half, which is perfect!

The award presenter, Brenda Bryce, the winner of the last year's actress, stepped forward to the front stage, and under the nervous gaze of everyone, she said in a pleasant voice: "The winner of the Best Actress in the Drama category is ...... Kate Winslet, Titanic!"

Suddenly, applause rang out.

Everyone in the crew of "Titanic" immediately stood up and shared the joy of Kate Winslet.

"Thank you!

Kate Winslet hugged everyone around, and the last one opened her arms to Don and hugged him tightly, "Thank you, Don, you're my best friend." ”

Tang En patted her on the back and said with a smile: "Okay, the acceptance speech will be on stage!"

"Poof!"

Kate Winslet was finally amused, gave him a big roll of her eyes, pursed her lips, and stepped onto the stage.

Win the first battle!

The crew of "Titanic" raised their glasses and touched them once.

Another half an hour later, the Best Musical Drama Actress laurel was unsurprisingly won by Helen Hunt.

There is no doubt that she will be Kate Winslet's biggest rival at the Oscars in a month's time.

Subsequently, the best original song and the best film score also belonged to "Titanica".

It's a good example!

From the beginning to the present, all the nominations of "Titanic" have won the final victory.

Until Leonardo Ricaprio's competition for Best Actor in a Drama made everyone sweat.

This award...... It's hard, I'm afraid.

Leonardo's performance in "Titanic" is very good, but the overly simple character setting does not have much room to play, and his competitors are also extremely strong.

In Donne's view, the choice of actor is likely to be Daniel Day Lewis, the actor of "In the Name of Love".

As soon as the results came out, the audience was surprised!

It turned out to be Peter Fonda, who had a low voice before.

Fortunately, the attendees were all spectators, and they quickly blended into the laughter and laughter, without embarrassing Peter Fonda.

may be due to bad luck, and in the subsequent competition for Best Supporting Actress, Gloria Stewart, who played the elderly "Ruth", also unfortunately lost, and Kim Basinger, who played an amazing role in "Los Angeles Confidential", was elected as he wished.

And the award for Best Screenplay that followed, James Cameron also lost to Ben Affleck.

Three in a row of defeats after three in a row!

In the crew of "Titanic", everyone's faces were not quite right, a strange mood began to pervade, and everyone talked to each other less.

Until an award worthy of everyone's attention in the United States is about to be announced - the Best Director Award!

The big screen began with a repetition of the four nominated directors – Steve Spielberg, "Broken Locks", James Brooks, "Perfect", Curtis Hansen, "L.A. Confidential", and Done Walker, "Titanic".

"Don ......"

Kate Winslet looked at him nervously, just as nervously as she was when she was about to announce her award.

Don clapped her hand, "It's okay, I'm still young anyway, right?"

He is not yet 20 years old, and it is difficult for the Golden Globes to award such a major award to him.

"But...... You're the best at what you're doing!" Kate lowered her voice, a little indignant.

Tang En smiled slightly, "It's enough to have your support, it's just the Golden Globe Award, I can't look down on it yet." ”

Kate Winslet flattened her mouth, a little unhappy, "But I'm looking forward to winning the award with you and Leon, if I win the award alone, ...... Weird. ”

Don smiled: "You deserve it, you deserve it!"

At this time, the guest of honor appeared, and it was the famous Hollywood director Milos Faulkman.

He walked slowly, opened the envelope slowly, and under the confident attention of everyone in the audience, raised his head, looked at the crew of "Titanic", and showed a smile.

Beside Tang En, the sound of gasping could be clearly heard.

Don't......

"The winner of Best Director was: Done Walker, "Titanic". ”

In the banquet hall, there was a slight silence, and then the warmest applause broke out.

This is the most enthusiastic applause from the beginning to the end!

Done Walker, the youngest Golden Globe director in history, was born!

Kate Winslet threw herself into Done's arms like a little girl, her pretty face was close to his ear, and she kept jumping excitedly, "You did it! Donne, you did it! I knew that you could do it, you would do it!"
