On January 21, 1996, the 53rd Golden Globe Awards opened on time at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel, and the awards ceremony was held in the form of a formal dinner, which was the most important film awards ceremony in the awards season in addition to the Academy Awards, and was also regarded as the vane of the Oscars by many outsiders.

No one in the circle will look at it this way, based on the voting rules of the Oscars, the real vane of each award is the union-like awards such as the Screen Actors Guild, the Directors Guild and the Producers Union, and historical statistics show that the person or film that can win the three major association awards is the real Oscar favorite.

And the Golden Globes are shady, and the judges are not even a hundred people, if the Oscars only have cramps sometimes, then the Golden Globes can only say that they don't cramp sometimes.

Because of the many nominations, "Saving Private Ryan" sat at three full tables, Duke and Tom? Next to Hanks's table is Nicholas of "Escape from Las Vegas", which swept the awards season for Best Actor? Cage et al.

The Golden Globes are no exception, Nicholas? Cage just won the best actor in the drama category, and the one who defeated him was Tom? Hanks.

In Duke's opinion, Cage's performance may not be as good as Hanks's, but unfortunately, the role is not the only criterion for winning the acting award, and there are too many off-court factors that affect the award.

"Congratulations, Nikolai."

Taking advantage of the time to perform on stage, Duke greeted Cage at the next table, and the two had a drink, and his eyes turned to the left, which was where the crew of "Braveheart" was, Mel? Gibson was confident and seemed to have the prize within reach.

"Don't worry too much."

Tom? Hanks patted Duke lightly on the arm, "You'll have a lot of opportunities in the future." ”

"It turns out that you are not optimistic about me winning the award." Duke retracted his gaze, to Tom? Hanks smiled, "We're both going to be disappointed this year." ”

"Don't worry." Hanks swears by his promises. "Duke, my vote will be cast for you."

Tom? Hanks is one of the judges of the Oscars, but he is not a judge of the Golden Globes, and the really famous people do not bother to be the judges of the Golden Globes, and some people have publicly expressed that they are ashamed to be in the company of the judges of the Golden Globes.

The awards are presented one by one, and no one can predict the Golden Globes. In the best screenplay that "Saving Private Ryan" would win the award, Duke actually lost to "Sense and Sensibility", and Emma, the Oscar-winning actress in previous years? Thompson took the award.

Just before the next award was presented, Duke looked at Braveheart, Sophie? Marceau is talking to Mel? Gibson and others laughed, but they couldn't see anything unusual at all, and the scheming and acting skills of these actresses had to be admired.

"What I'm going to present today is a heavyweight award - Best Director!"

John? Travolta stood on the stage in front of him, "All the time. I wanted to make the transition to directing, but no one was willing to invest, so I had to continue to be an actor, and the ones on my list tonight are all the best in the directing industry, let's see who they are. ”

"Ann of Sense and Sensibility? Lee, Mel from Braveheart? Gibson, Martin from Las Vegas? Scorsese. Mike from "Escape from Las Vegas"? Figgis, and Duke from Saving Private Ryan? Rosenberg! ”

Despite seeing the live camera turn. Duke still had the same relaxed smile he had just now, without any nervousness.

The results are not surprising, John? Travolta read out the answer, "The winner is Mel from Braveheart?" Gibson! ”

The answer was revealed, and the crew of "Braveheart" erupted in cheers, and Duke turned his head to look. See Mel clearly? Gibson shook his fist at this side, as if demonstrating.

But the Australian savage, who didn't drink, was still very sober-minded, and knew that this was the occasion for live broadcasting, and did not do anything else, even after taking the stage to accept the award. It's just a few routine testimonials.

"No one would be stupid enough to say something provocative on a live broadcast."

Sophia sitting on the other side? Coppola whispered in Duke's ear, "Are you sure you want to do it?" Are you sure he's going to lose his temper? ”

"Not sure." Duke shook his head, "So give it a try, even if we fail, it won't make any difference to us, will it?" ”

Just like those previous association awards, "Braveheart" took home Best Director, and "Saving Private Ryan" easily won Best Picture. After Cruise was announced, Robin? Grande took the stage on behalf of the crew and took home the only trophy that "Saving Private Ryan" won tonight.

The result was completely predictable, and no one was surprised, and in Duke's opinion, tonight's Ballon d'Or was one of the few times in recent years that he was cramp-free.

The 53rd Golden Globe Awards came to an end, but not many of the guests left, but at the invitation of the organizers, they turned to the Hilton Hotel's No. 1 Ballroom to participate in the celebrations that will inevitably be held after each heavyweight awards.

Duke threw most of the entertainment to Robin? Grande, he knows how much he drinks, and if he doesn't drink much, he won't be able to stand still, so won't the good show he plans to direct tonight be unstaging?

As the pie officially began, more and more people were in the banquet hall, not only actors, directors and producers, but also some well-known media reporters, publicists and agents involved, and Duke met with the editors-in-chief of the entertainment pages of several newspapers and magazines, such as Tina, the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, which specializes in reporting celebrity gossip and scandals? Brown and the editor-in-chief of the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times, David? Fez.

This pie duì is a microcosm of the Hollywood ecosystem, with the clamour, congratulations, clinking glasses, and the unbridled laughter of some people wafting back and forth in the banquet hall.

Got the Golden Globe trophy for Best Director, Mel? The smile on Gibson's face never stopped, he really didn't take this award very seriously, but he was still happy, because it meant that he had once again beaten Duke for Best Director? Rosenberg, how many times is this awards season? He doesn't remember clearly, only that in Best Director, he completely swept Duke? Rosenberg took a vicious breath of box office failure.

Now he is very good, no matter how you look at it, he is the first favorite for the Oscar for Best Director.

"Cheers, Mel!"

Someone from the crew came over to congratulate, Mel? Gibson was in a very good mood, and in just a few minutes, four or five glasses of champagne and red wine had been poured into his stomach.

This bit of wine is nothing to him who is an alcoholic, and after drinking two more glasses of wine, he suddenly remembers, what to do with the best picture?

Put down the empty cup and look up, Mel? Gibson walked to Sophie? Marceau's side.

"When are you going to launch it?" He asked in a low voice.

"...... tonight" Sophie? Marceau looked over at Duke, "Don't you think tonight is a great time to be?" I'm going to talk to Duke later? Rosenberg said that he was interested in me at the last time he was at his house, and if it wasn't for his temporary affairs, maybe we would have succeeded. ”

"The sooner the better!"

Nodding in satisfaction, Mel? Gibson turned around and was about to walk away, Sophie? Marceau stopped him, handed him a glass of whiskey, and said, "I haven't congratulated you yet, Mel." ”

"Thank you!"

Probably to Sophie? Marceau's words are satisfied, Mel? Gibson touched the French actress's glass, tilted his head and drank half a glass of wine.

Sophie? With a flattering smile on his face, Marceau took a bottle of whiskey and poured him half a glass, not waiting for Mel? Gibson touched his glass as he said anything, "I wish us a great Oscar victory." ”

"It's going to be a big win!" Mel? Gibson was confident and poured the wine into his stomach again.

A little too much to drink, and a little anxious, but Mel? Gibson was in an excellent mood, to Sophie? Marceau waved his hand, went out to the bathroom once, and when he returned to the banquet hall, he habitually looked at the crew of "Saving Private Ryan". Rosenberg was joking with people, not at all the loss that he should have after losing to him, and he couldn't help but stop and frown.

He didn't go back to the "Braveheart" crew, but turned around and walked towards Duke, the two have been fighting each other since the set in Ireland, and they haven't really faced each other head-on, and now that he has defeated his opponent, how can he find the joy of winning if he doesn't show off?

Obviously, Mel? Gibson was a bit of a drunkard, and the arrogance and rebelliousness that was suppressed by the sober mind gradually began to emerge.

"Duke? Rosenberg! ”

Mel? Gibson strode up to Duke, who was not yet drunk, and his voice was lowered, "What does it feel like to fail?" ”

"It's special!"

Turning his head, the first thing Duke smelled was Mel? Gibson snorted with wine, but he remained silent, "I'm experiencing the taste of failure you've been experiencing for more than half a year!" ”

"You ......"

Take a deep breath, Mel? Gibson suppressed the anger that wanted to explode, looked at the people around him indifferently, and said to Duke slowly and in a low voice, "Throughout the awards season, you have been trampled under my feet, and the Oscars will be trampled under my feet, and I will give you back twice as much as what you gave me!" ”

"I'll be waiting for your gift." Duke smiled faintly.

"Pathetic loser!"

Coldly threw out the last sentence, Mel? Gibson turned away and saw Sophie not far away? Marceau's gaze hurriedly glanced at her, and the French actress walked quietly in circles towards Duke.

After tonight, everything will be different! Mel? Gibson snorted coldly in his heart.

On the other side, Duke vs. Sophie? Marceau nodded, left where he was standing, and found Tom not far away? Cruise.

"Tom, we can get started!" (To be continued......)
