Chapter 601: The Possibility of Winning a Prize
After participating in the premiere of "Heroes", the list of Golden Globe nominees was also announced.
Last year, Leila had two films released, one "Chicago" and the other "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". The former is still in theaters and has received a lot of critical acclaim, while the latter has topped last year's annual box office charts with a billion-dollar box office.
It can be said that there is a fame and a fortune, and Leila holds it all in her hands with her own movies. The most important thing is that the "name" is not the kind of art film that makes money at a loss, but the golden hen that continues to make money for the company. Anyone can see that it has an incomparable advantage in the awards season this time, and I believe that there will be a new wave of movie-watching peaks after the Oscars are over.
As soon as the list of nominees for the Golden Globe Awards came out, everyone's eyes were attracted to "Chicago". Everyone has long known that it will be a blockbuster, but they never thought that this "surprise" was an earth-shattering shock!
Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Screenplay, Best Director...... "Chicago" won seven nominations in one fell swoop in many competitions, including the heavyweight award.
After seeing the list of nominees, countless people gasped. No one questioned the qualifications of "Chicago" for so many nominations, but when they saw Leila get her best director nomination for the first time, everyone couldn't help but marvel at her.
How old is she? 23 or 24? has already been nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Director!
Although no one thought she would win the final award, a nomination was enough to prove her directing ability. Now no one will gossip about her ability to make movies, because she uses movies and strength to prove to the world that she is a real director, a big director who has been recognized as having the best directorial strength!
It is also known that the main reason why she was thought to be nominated and not to get the final award was because she was too young. Many judges believe that she can have more opportunities to challenge for this award in the future. So it's better to give the award to more experienced people first.
It seems unfair, but it can't be helped. These rules have long been known to everyone, and even if anyone tries to challenge its "majesty", they will end up with nothing.
After Leila saw the nomination, her mind went blank for a long time.
She didn't know how to express her feelings. I wanted to yell at the sky excitedly, but it seemed that my body had frozen, and there was no way to react at all.
Happy?
Of course happy!
Not only happy, but also excited, very ...... I want to cry.
She did it, even if she hadn't won that award yet!
The Golden Globe can't be compared to the Oscars in terms of authority, but who cares? How many Orientals have won this honor? And now she has it! Even if it's just an Oriental soul in the skin of a Westerner, she has done it, hasn't she?
Compared with her, Roy, who has been nominated for Best Actor for the second year in a row, is much more leisurely. Seeing Leila's expression, he was still in the mood to make fun of her.
"What's the matter? Is it enough to just get a nomination? You're Leila Moran, the greatest talent Hollywood has ever seen. How can you be scared by such a small prize?"
Leila looked at him, "You've also been nominated for Best Actor, aren't you nervous?"
"What's there to be nervous about, didn't you get one last year?" Roy shrugged absently: "Anyway, I can't get that award, it's just a nomination, what's there to be nervous about." He was so unashamed to say big things, as if he had completely forgotten the restless man he had been last year.
Leila looked at him with a smirk, "Are you sure you won't win the award this year?"
"Of course. Didn't you say that I was too young to win the award?" Roy suddenly froze and looked at her with a dull gaze: "You won't tell me, it's just a year later, and I'm old enough to win the award, right?"
Layla smiled and crossed her hands on her lap, "Guess. ”
"I guess you're trying to tease me, just to see me humiliated. Roy rolled his eyelids and took a newspaper from the side and flipped through it.
"Guess again. Leila looked at him with a smile on her face. That's right, she was just teasing him, who made him laugh at her just now. The first memorable heavyweight director nomination in her life, can't she be shocked?
"Guess what, guess again, I'll ...... again" Half of the newspaper in Roy's hand fell to the ground: "You mean I really have a chance to win the prize?"
"Huh. Leila laughed and took a copy of the newspaper in her hand.
Roy snatched it and sat down next to her, "Tell me about it." ”
"What is there to say, aren't you nervous?"
"Who said I wasn't nervous anymore? That's the Golden Globe, I always dreamed of winning one?" Roy didn't have any idea that the Golden Globe was inferior to the Oscars. He has won many small awards, but he still hopes to get more well-known and authoritative awards like the Golden Globe Oscar.
It's not just about proving his strength, it's more about wanting to prove that he has what it takes to stand side by side with Lyra. His girlfriend is only one step away from the pinnacle of directing, but how can he still stumble on the mountainside of an actor?
Even if the Golden Globe and the Oscars can't be compared, it is still an award that will be watched around the world. As long as he can win such an award, he feels that his waist can be straighter in front of his girlfriend in the future.
Seeing that he was almost amused, Leila kindly told him the answer: "Okay, I'm going to tell you that you might really win this time." "In the original history, Richard Gere, as the leading actor, did win the best actor in the music category for "Chicago".
Roy is indeed very young, but he took advantage of the Golden Globes, that is, "Chicago" is a musical and dance film!
The Oscars have only one Best Actor, but the Golden Globes are divided into two, one for drama and one for music and comedy.
This year's noteworthy musical movies can not be found other than "Chicago", and comedy movies cannot be compared with movies with connotation and depth like "Chicago" because of the shortcomings of the subject matter.
And Leila also has to admit that Roy's acting skills are getting better and better, and he plays the lawyer vividly in the movie. Especially since he himself is about ten years old behind the lawyer in the script, and the age difference alone can already prove his acting strength.
All things considered, Leila thinks he has a very high chance of winning this year!
