Hollywood in January is undoubtedly lively, with major award ceremonies, singing and singing, and lively parties that rotate non-stop from Monday to Sunday, immersing the whole of Los Angeles in an atmosphere of singing and dancing. At this moment, any worries will be left behind and will not be an obstacle to life in the slightest.

But for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, this is an embarrassing moment, because the Golden Globes are about to be awarded again, and Michael Russell has worked hard all year, and all the results will be accepted on this night, and even Michael himself cannot predict where the Golden Globes will go in the future.

Not long ago, the 55th Golden Globe Awards announced the list of nominees, "Titanic", "Amistad", "In the Name of Love. Boxer)", "Mindcatcher" and "L.A. Confidential" will compete for best drama film, "Perfect", "The Light Pig Six. Full。 Monty), "Men in Black", "My Best Friend's Wedding", and "Be a Big Hero (Wag. The。 Dod) will compete for the title of Best Musical Comedy Film.

In this list of nominations, "Titanic" is undoubtedly the biggest winner, winning eight nominations, including nominations for Best Picture in a Drama, Best Director, Best Actor in a Drama, Best Actress in a Drama, Best Supporting Actress, Best Screenplay and other important awards.

It can be seen that Michael focused all his attention on the "Titanic" - this is the treatment that was not received on last year's "Independence Day", and this is also one of Michael's important plans: he must give people more attention to attention, so that people can divert their attention from Hugo, and avoid bringing up such terrible topics as "Hugo has been absent from the Golden Globe for four consecutive years".

There is no better focus than "Titanic", and no actor can be more appropriate than Leonardo DiCaprio.

At the same time, Michael also made two preparations, regardless of whether Hugo attended or not, he still gave enough recognition to the nomination, and once again firmly stated the position of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

"L.A. Confidential" not only won the nomination for Best Picture in the Drama category, but also won nominations for Best Director, Best Actor in a Drama, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Screenplay and Best Film Score, with a total of seven nominations, only behind the "Titanic" and becoming another winner in the nomination stage.

Among them, Hugo joined the race for Best Actor in a Drama Series, while Kevin Spacey became a strong contender for Best Supporting Actor.

In addition to being shortlisted for Best Musical Comedy Film, "Perfect" also joined the competition for Best Director, Best Actor in a Musical Comedy, Best Actress in a Musical Comedy, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Screenplay.

Hugo won the nomination as a screenwriter, which is also the third time that Hugo has been shortlisted for this award after "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Before Sunrise", and the final award trend has sparked countless discussions.

The most important thing is that Hugo, as the producer of "L.A. Confidential" and "Perfect", both works entered the best film competition in their respective departments, which is an important affirmation of Hugo. In terms of individual nominations, Hugo received two Best Picture nominations for producers, one for leading actor and one for screenplay, a total of four nominations, once again equaling the record of the Golden Globes - and the previous record was held by Hugo himself: two nominations for leading actor, one supporting actor and one screenwriter at the 53rd Golden Globe Awards.

So, what will Hugo gain at the Golden Globes this time?

However, more curious people than Hugo's prospects for winning the award are: Will Hugo attend the Golden Globe Awards ceremony this year? Even with "Titanic" and Leonardo as gimmicks that attract most of the attention, the topic is still eye-catching.

If Hugo is absent again, the world's top actor will miss the Golden Globes for the fifth year in a row - especially given Hugo's influence on the top brass of Hollywood's major studios, which is a fatal blow to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which aims to expand the commercial market. What Michael needs to do now is try to avoid this happening.

Michael quickly parked the car in the parking space, looked at his hairstyle in the rearview mirror to make sure there was no problem with his demeanor, and then quickly got out of the car and walked briskly towards the club in front of him.

This nightclub called "River" is a club that has risen rapidly in the last half of the year, standing behind the scenes is the East Coast hip-hop scene of the United States, the biggest braggart daddy, thanks to the support of the braggart daddy, the DJ here every night is first-class, excellent music, excellent drinks, coupled with high-quality guest resources, attracting countless guests to come to cheer.

In fact, many of the music industry's veterans haunt the show, especially those who want the help of their braggart dad. This makes the club often a star-studded club, which takes its appeal to the next level and makes countless people flock to it.

However, due to the feud in the hip-hop circles on the East and West Coasts - only a year ago. I。 G was killed for a vendetta, and 2Pac was shot and killed after being involved in a hip-hop confrontation between the East and West Coasts in September last year. Therefore, the security around the "river" can only be regarded as average, and even a few nearby streets often have incidents of street gangsters smashing and looting, but this still cannot stop people's enthusiasm for the "river".

Michael's knowledge of the hip-hop world is very limited, and it is only scratching the surface, but he also knows that this is not a good place to negotiate, and he doesn't even know why Hugo chose "River" today. Despite all the doubts, Michael drove to the "river" without hesitation, hoping to talk to Hugo as soon as he could, after receiving a tip-off that Hugo was going to the "river" for a party.

A week ago, "Truman's World" was officially announced, more than two weeks later than expected, and it was rumored that the director was dissatisfied with some key scenes, and after the filming was completed, he restarted filming, which led to the delay in the schedule. After filming, the whole crew spent three days on vacation in Miami and held a finale dinner, and then Hugo stayed alone in Miami for a few days until this afternoon, when he returned to Los Angeles.

It was only over three hours before Hugo arrived in Los Angeles, and Hugo was on his way again. Michael is well aware that the Golden Globes are getting closer and closer, and there is not much time left for him, and the space he can move around is relatively limited - the more influence Hugo has in Hollywood, the less room for him to retreat, so he has not many options, and he must seize the limited opportunities.

Coming to the door of the club, Michael made a phone call, and after a while, a black waiter in a tuxedo walked out and looked Michael up and down, "Hugo Lancaster is in there now, and there are seven or eight people with him, and it looks very lively." ”

Michael was still waiting for the next step, but the other party stopped like this, Michael took out a ten-dollar sheet from his pocket and handed it to the other party, but he didn't put his hand away, it still stopped in mid-air, Michael put another one into the palm of the other party's hand, and then he put away his fist, "They didn't enter the box, but sat in the booth next to the dance floor, and before I came out, I saw Snoop-Dogg. Dogg) also passed their booths......"

Snoopy - Dogg? Of course, Michael knows who this is, the godfather-level figure of the West Bank rap scene, and he can be compared to the braggart daddy. But why did Hugo meet Snoopy?

Facing Michael's puzzled gaze, the other party stopped again, and Michael could only take out one again, "I inquired, and one of Hugo's companions was named Henry Bloom, and the other was named Roger Farson." Michael nodded, the former is the agent of glory to death, and the latter is the head of EMI Records in North America, he naturally can't be ignorant, it seems that Hugo will come to the "river" tonight, not only to celebrate, but also to talk about other things.

Now it seems that it is probably related to music, but why didn't the members of Glory to Death appear? "Do you see any other members of your companion who are glorious to death?"

This time, without waiting for the man to reach out and ask for it, Michael took the initiative to hand over two banknotes, which made the other party smile brightly, and said very happily, "I looked carefully, and only saw Fujin, and there were a few other people I didn't see clearly, and I wasn't sure if anyone would come over later." I can take you in now, and I can help you find out if there is any news. ”

Michael thought about it carefully, he was a little uncertain now, if Hugo really had something to do, then it would be difficult for him to speak today. But thinking of the increasingly urgent time, Michael could only grit his teeth, even if he didn't talk about anything today, he had to at least show his face to pave the way for the future.

Thinking of this, Michael nodded, "You can take me in." ”

The waiter opened the back door and walked in with Michael expertly to the dance floor, where the waiter smiled and said, "Look, the person you're looking for is there." Michael looked at his fingers, and then saw Hugo smiling under the neon lights, which made him nod, and then he was about to find a place to sit down first, but he didn't want the waiter to hold him, "Seeing that you are so refreshing, I will give you some news, it is very lively on the second floor today." I didn't go up, but I heard that some big star was coming, and the women were crazy. With that, the waiter turned and left.

Michael shook his head speechlessly after hearing this, now there is no big star in Hollywood who can be compared to Hugo, even if it is a big-name actor, it is difficult to straighten his waist in front of Hugo. Thinking of this, Michael withdrew his gaze, looked around, and found a seat near the bar.
