Chapter 496: Nominations Announced
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Keke, happy birthday to you—"
The sky was getting dark, the illuminations were shining beautifully, the courtyard hung with colorful balloons was bustling, cheerful songs rang out in unison, and a large cake was placed on the long dining table, on which a burning candle was inserted, and the flame shook and shook lively. There were a lot of people standing around the dinner table, and it was the people who celebrated the birthday of the little birthday star, and this day was Keke's first birthday.
On the 10th of this year, which happened to be a Sunday, Wang Yang and Jessica hosted a family party for their daughter, inviting the family and some friends in New York to attend, as well as their dogs. From the morning guests came to the party, the flower yard was lively all day, the children laughed, chased and played, and played with some children's amusement equipment rented back, during which there was a "mysterious monster" dinosaur puppet scared the children to scream, but Jia Deng was a hero but unexpectedly beat the master, it was really happy.
It's been a long time since I've had such a good time, Danny is so tired that he sleeps soundly on the lawn, this year's winter in New York is not so cold, probably because of global warming or something, and on December 1, there was a new record for extreme maximum temperatures of nearly 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 °C), which couldn't freeze its belly.
In the evening, Keke, who was dressed beautifully and lovely in the morning, was already sloppy, covered in sand and mud, and was dressed in red denim overalls, like a heroic tomboy, at this time she was standing on the chair, her face was tired, only a pair of big eyes were round and bright, curiously looking at the candlelight on the cake, she didn't have any concept of celebrating her birthday, but she felt very fun and happy.
"Whew-" Everyone sang a happy birthday song and applauded with joy, and Matilda, who was in Michelle's arms, fell asleep again and again, and her head suddenly shook again, and Joshua shouted loudly, "Next is - Wishing Time!"
"DEAR, GO-GET-IT!" JESSICA encouraged Keke, although they had already explained, Keke always seemed to understand, and looked at her parents suspiciously, Wang Yang reminded: "Birthday wishes are what you want, a thing, a state, anything." Jessica laughed: "For example, if you want a dog rag doll, or you can fly like a bird, or go to the park every day to play...... Everyone smiled and looked at the little angel in her thinking, she thought for a while, and suddenly said: "I don't eat vegetables." ”
Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect her wish to be a reverse thinking type, but for this wish, everyone felt warm and interesting for her childlike innocence, and was also a little surprised by her cleverness.
"Wow. Wang Yang couldn't hold back a smile, it seems that the baby will not be a vegetarian in the future, Jessica shook her head helplessly: "That won't work." Wang Yang patted his daughter's head lightly: "Let's make another one! Also, don't say your birthday wishes." Keke suddenly thought again.
Looking at her innocent face, Wang Yang and Jessica are happier and more satisfied than having the whole world, the scene of the baby's birth on this day last year is vivid, it seems to be so big in the blink of an eye, but in fact, when parents know how difficult it is to have a baby's first birthday, there is a new situation every day of every month, during which there are too many difficulties, beauty, and changes, and now they are all happy memories, and she is now such a healthy, happy, smart and cheerful baby, which is their proudest achievement.
Keke stared at the candlelight for a moment, and smiled as if she had an idea, and she must laugh and shout, "I don't sleep!"
"Sweetheart, blow out the candles! blow out the candles!" Wang Yang and Jessica led the way in cheering and clapping, a wish that would certainly not come true, and they expected that by the time they had finished eating the cake, she would fall asleep. Everyone also laughed, and under a round of applause, Keke blew out the candle flame, one year old!
Matilda had fallen asleep and had not eaten the little boss's cake, while Keke had eaten a small piece, and she was very much looking forward to the moment when her wish would come true, as if it had already taken effect? She felt that she was not sleepy at all! However, as the nerves of the whole day relaxed, she leaned back in the chair and unconsciously closed her eyes and fell asleep, even if Jessica picked her up and walked into the house and put her on the baby's bed, the little birthday star did not react at all, and fell asleep so deeply that she did not even dream.
Barbecue parties are especially fun in the winter, and although the little birthday boy is not present, the courtyard is still full of fun until late in the evening, when the guests return home.
Keke, who woke up after a long night's sleep, found herself lying in the room, the sky outside the window was already blue sky and white clouds, but she did not forget that good wish, sat up and jumped out of bed, and shouted: "Mom, Dad!" Will you still sleep after making a wish? lest the little sweetheart have no good feelings about the wish from now on, whether she has doubts or not, Wang Yang gave her a romantic explanation: "In fact, sleeping is a way through another world, you have some good friends in your dreams, you fall asleep every day, you go to play with them." "It's just that Keke doesn't know much about playing the piano to the cow.
On this day, Wang Yang arranged the traditional activity of catching Zhou, which was supposed to be caught yesterday, but she fell asleep, of course, this activity was just for fun and for more fun, the two did not believe that such a catch could explain a child's future ambitions, and they were not prepared to focus on cultivating her, she didn't even fully understand what those things were and what they were for, but they could indeed test what she was most interested in at the moment.
All the items were placed on the sofa, and when the red cloth of "Huo Hu" was lifted, I saw books, pens, abacus, microphones, DV cameras, cameras, teddy bear dolls, lipstick, beautiful skirts, Oscar Best Director trophies, mice, spoons, harmonica, building blocks, toy pistols, and a basketball ......
"Hmm, hmm, hmm......" Keke looked at the large pile of things in front of her, and made a gurgling sound, can she only grab one......?
Another DV camera was shooting, and the photographers Wang Yang and Jessica, who were standing next to them, couldn't help but feel a little nervous, just grab anything, the baby should decide quickly! What could it be......?
"Oh!?" the two of them widened their eyes for a moment, "babble, babble! haha!"

Time passed day by day, and on December 14, the annual Golden Globe Awards will announce the list of nominees!
This year's film registration deadline is November 10, before that, several flame films have been registered, FF impact 06-07 awards season is the main force of "Little Sunshine Beauty" (musical/comedy) and "The Dead" (drama), both films to their respective impactable awards, "Mamma Mia", "Magician", "Deadly Magic" is targeted registration, can be described as full of firepower.
If you sign up well, you will get twice the result with half the effort, otherwise you are likely to return empty-handed. For example, Cate Blanchett and Judi Dench in "Chronicle of Scandals" are both heroines according to their roles, and both of them have great performances, but considering that if Blanchett is allowed to compete for the actress, then she will not only fight with Dench, but also fight with herself ("Good German Guy"), so in the end, Fox Searchlight reported her Best Supporting Actress, obviously Blanchett in "Good German Guy" looks more like a queen.
"The Dead" doesn't care so much, it has reported Best Actor to Heath Ledger and Michael Pitt, and Best Supporting Actor to Nicholson, Spacey, and Wahlberg, and even Natalie and Knightley, who don't have many scenes, have also been reported for Best Supporting Actress.
Later, it was a little surprising that the current hit "Little Sunshine Beauty" only let 10-year-old Abigail Branslin Jr. compete for Best Supporting Actress, not Best Actress in a Musical/Comedy, and fellow filmmakers and media fans can only understand that this is a mistake by the flames, a rare mistake.
Registered, of course, to promote the momentum. Previously, on December 1, the list of nomination candidates was sent to the judges, and then Ernst & Young took it back on the 11th.
In fact, whether the judges have carefully watched all the candidate films has always been one of the controversial topics, and how to impress the judges depends on the operation of the distribution company, but no matter how well it operates, no one will vote for a film that has not been produced, has no jury screening, and has not been released. "The Dead" was completed in early December, just to catch this last train, you must know that this year's deadline for film screenings is December 6, and the deadline for press conferences is December 7.
So "The Dead" was produced on the 1st, and it took less than a week to end the promotion, but the big director has an advantage: he is especially valued by the judges. I received an invitation to watch the movie very early, who doesn't take the time to see the movie of Amazing Young? The new work of the last Golden Globe Award and the Oscar for Best Director!
What kind of performance will the Pokémon "simultaneous shooting" film make its first public appearance? The media around the world are paying close attention, and what will happen to popular films such as "Fantastic Director" and "Blood Diamond"?
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Lorraine Nicholson, and I'm here to announce the nominees for the 64th Golden Globe Awards, and you'll see the best films and TV shows of 2006 being honored. ”
The familiar opening remarks sounded on the TV playing NBC channel, and at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, in front of the glass podium was this year's Miss Golden Globes Lorraine Nicholson (the 16-year-old daughter of Jack Nicholson and Rebecca Brusselt), who opened the envelope in her hand with a youthful and pretty smile, and read: "The first thing to announce is the film awards, and the nominations for 'Best Original Song' are: "Bobby", "Never-Gonna-Break-My-Faith" , Brian Adams, Elliot Kennedy, ......"
Whether it's a hazy day in Los Angeles or an early morning in New York, there are countless viewers in front of the TV who have made a special trip to watch the live broadcast, and many of the nominees are nervous.
"Hahaha! Whoa, you can't run away!", "Ahhh Jessica will not miss the moment when the Golden Globe nominations are announced, and she believes that he will receive many, many congratulatory text messages on his mobile phone, and when she saw that the announcement began, she booed: "Honey, be quiet for a while; ”
Wang Yang and Keke stopped, he saw an unpacked yellow coat on the sofa, his eyes rolled, and he smiled at his daughter and asked, "Baby, do you know what a golden ball is?" Keke shook his head incomprehensibly, Wang Yang quietly picked up the coat, threw it on Jessica's head at once, and laughed: "That's it!" Seeing her mother's head covered by clothes, Keke laughed funny. Unexpectedly, Jessica was angry, she ripped off her coat and threw it aside, glaring at him: "Bastard, can you sit down for me......!" Very serious!!"
"Mom was angry. Wang Yang knew that he was in trouble, so he hurriedly glanced at Keke a few times, and instructed softly: "Tell Mom that you love her." Keke, who had been ordered, walked up and patted her mouth to her mother. Jessica smiled brightly at her, hugged Keke and kissed her heavily, but turned her head and gave Wang Yang a fierce look. Wang Yang walked over silently, patted his mouth and imprinted it on her, and looked at the TV with his wife and daughter in his arms. At this time, Keke learned with interest: "Bastard, bastard." The two hurriedly attracted her attention: "HEY, HEY, HEY......"
"The nominees for Best Supporting Actor are: Ben Affleck, 'Hollywood Manor,' Eddie Murphy, 'Dream Girl,' Jack Nicholson, 'The Dead'; Lorraine's smile widened at the mention of her father's name, and she continued: "Brad Pitt, Babel, Mark Wahlberg, The Dead. ”
Here are the nominees for Best Screenplay: Guillermo Arriaga, "Babel", Patrick Marber, "Chronicle of the Scandal", Peter Morgan, "The Queen", Alan Sorkin, "The Fantastic Director", and Wang Yang, "The Dead". ”
The nominees for Best Actor in a Drama are: Leonardo DiCaprio, "Blood Diamond", Heath Ledger, "The Dead", Peter O'Toole, "The Last Eros", Michael Pitt, "The Dead", and Forest Whitaker, "The Last Dictatorship". ”
With Lorraine's words, the big screen behind her showed the nominee's photo and name, only to see Heath smiling shyly, Michael looking calm, and the fans of the TV set cheering and boiling, a bumper harvest! And all the people in the industry couldn't help but be surprised, without the voice of the media and the public, they were able to be shortlisted in just a few days of formal publicity, what does it mean? The performances of those two guys are powerful enough! Just like the previous Best Supporting Actor, plus the Best Screenplay, will "The Dead" be a bad movie?
Soon, Lorraine announced the nominations for another much-anticipated award: "The nominees for Best Director are Clint Eastwood, "Letter from Iwo Jima", Stephen Freys, "The Queen" ......"
At this moment, the hearts of all Yang fans and friends were suspended, will Wang Yang be shortlisted for two consecutive years?
