1415. Chapter 1415 - Shocked Decision
The time for the 53rd Golden Globe Awards to kick off is getting closer and closer, and although the overall quality of this year's masterpieces is inferior to last year's, there is no doubt that the awards ceremony will still be star-studded, and many people even joke that the Golden Globe Awards have overshadowed the Oscars - because no one will refuse to attend the Golden Globes.
Under the operation of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the Golden Globe Awards have become a night of carnival for everyone, without the tension and rigor of the Oscars, and without the nonsense and noise of the People's Choice Awards.
This year was no exception, and although Tom Hanks' "Apollo 13" failed to win him a nomination, he nodded and agreed to be present as a guest of honor; Tom Cruise, who is still Hollywood's top group, will also be accompanied by his wife Nicole Kidman, who won a nomination for Best Actress in a Musical Comedy; And Brad Pitt, who has been in a big picture in recent times, will be a strong contender for Best Supporting Actor, bringing his female companion Gwyneth Paltrow.
Anthony Hopkins, Harrison Ford, Steve Martin, Michael Douglas, Meryl Streep, Emma Thompson, Sandra Bullock, Annette Bening, Mel Gibson and a long list of guests will all be featured at the awards ceremony on the night of January 21.
The opening time of the Golden Globe Awards is getting closer and closer, and the whole of Hollywood is beginning to warm up, and the holiday belonging to Hollywood has just begun!
But soon people found out that the name of Hugo, the first person in Hollywood today, never appeared on the list, and at first people thought that the Golden Globe Awards deliberately delayed the announcement in order to highlight the sensational effect - he appeared on the red carpet of the Golden Globes again after two years, and Hugo's status has been turned upside down, which is big news; But with four days left before the ceremony, the Golden Globes announced the final list of guests, but there was still no Hugo's name on it!
Without waiting for the news media to make a splash, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association took the initiative to make an official announcement: Hugo, who was in full swing to shoot a new film, would not appear at this year's awards ceremony.
As soon as the news was announced, the whole United States was in an uproar, "Hugo actually rejected the Golden Globe Award again, even if it created a huge momentum in the list of nominees this year, Hugo will still be absent from the Golden Globe Award for three consecutive years!" "It's a shocking decision.
Many people were surprised, after all, the Golden Globe Awards gave Hugo enough face in the nomination stage, and the four nominations that were loved by thousands of people can almost be said to have created an incredible history. But even so, Hugo still refused to attend the awards ceremony, which can definitely be said to be a resounding slap in the face of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association - the shooting of "Independence Day"? The crew was in Burbank, from Burbank to Beverly Hills, and it didn't cross the entire Atlantic, and Hugo's absence made it clear that he was not interested in the Golden Globes.
Although that is the case, more people feel schadenfreude than surprise, and it seems that Hugo and the Golden Globe Award are completely insetric.
In fact, people all know the stories that Hugo and the Golden Globes have to say, strictly speaking, between the two, there are no violent sparks, no head-to-head confrontation, no fierce confrontation, no conflict of interests, even if the Sundance Film Festival was chosen last year, it was in the name of promoting "before sunrise", but the scene was a little awkward and did not really intensify the conflict. However, the Golden Globe Awards have nominated Hugo many times, but Hugo has never been given a trophy, which is really unreasonable.
Therefore, Hugo's rejection of the Golden Globe for the third year in a row is not a surprise decision. At least it was much milder than when he rejected the Grammys the year before. But now, the Golden Globes are clearly showing goodwill, but Hugo is not cooperating, and the next development of things is also extremely exciting.
Objectively speaking, with Hugo's strong momentum now, even if he is absent, the Golden Globes will not confront him head-on, which is the iron rule of Hollywood - as long as you have enough strength, you can ignore these - this is also the iron rule of society.
For example, Woody Allen, this little old man has never given face to the Golden Globes and Oscars, and has been stuck in his beloved New York all his life, and has never been willing to attend these award ceremonies; Even if he has not been with his adopted daughter in recent years. Lun. Zhilian director zhì is riddled with scandals, but his reputation in the industry has not been affected much. Should the Golden Globes and Oscars be honored for him, or should they continue to be honored.
This, as in sports, is where victory can be a counter-challenge. The same is true in the entertainment industry, as long as you can show absolute strength like Woody Allen and don't directly slap the academy at the awards ceremony like Marlon Brando, then it won't make a difference.
There is naturally a gap between Hugo's current level and Woody's decades of accumulation and precipitation, but no one can shake Hugo's status for the time being, as long as his works continue to succeed, as long as the audience and critics continue to buy it, Hugo can be invincible.
Therefore, the Golden Globe Awards can only be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, not only can they not say their bitterness, but they also have to put on a generous and tolerant posture, and respond to all the news media's doubts with a smile - Hugo's absence is a huge regret for the audience watching the Golden Globes.
Now, it's up to Hugo and Rick to respond, and if their response is a little wrong, then the Ballon d'Or is going to start to be humiliated, and things will soon go into a different rhythm.
However, it was clear that the media's wishful thinking was doomed, and when reporters flocked to Endeavour Elite's new office building shortly after the Hollywood Reporter Guild's official announcement, Rick was fully prepared to hold a press conference directly on the spot.
"For his part, Hugo would love to be at the Ballon d'Or, where he has many fond memories." Rick took over the initiative to issue an official position in the face of a torrent of questions from reporters, "Especially this time he won the Golden Globe Award again, and he was also very surprised by the harvest Hugo in the nomination stage, he felt completely flattered, and thanked everyone for loving his efforts and dedication in the past year." ”
Everyone knows that these are polite words, and the emphasis is on the "but" that follows.
"However, unfortunately, 'Independence Day' has just been filmed, and the entire crew is currently running at high speed to coincide with the release schedule of the film. Hugo has recently dedicated his personal time to the filming of the crew, and only completed the 12-hour long shooting yesterday, but the crew's progress is still behind expectations, and in the next period of time, Hugo will do his best to devote himself to the filming of this film, hoping to catch up with the schedule. Hugo personally felt very sorry for his absence from the Golden Globes, and wanted me to express his regret and sadness, thank the organizers of the Golden Globes, and apologize to the audience. ”
Rick's words were well-organized, clear-minded, and almost all aspects were taken into account, which made it difficult for reporters to attack further, and Rick did not mention the Berlinale in the first place because he did not want reporters to continue to provoke. On top of that, Rick also logically promoted "Independence Day" again, and everyone knows about the schedule and the filming schedule, and it's really hard for them to say that Rick is "" - even if everyone knows that no matter how busy the filming work is, four hours a night can still be squeezed out, but no one will debunk this.
Finally, Rick added, "Of course, Hugo is still working hard, and if Hugo can call a day early on the 21st, he will be more than happy to go to the Hilton Hotel to join the party." We will try until the last minute and hopefully Hugo will be there at the ceremony. ”
This remark is simply considerate, although all reporters know that this is impossible: at this time, there are only four days before the award ceremony, and if Hugo really plans to attend the award ceremony, it is very cumbersome to choose a dress, carry out body management, personal maintenance and other work, not to mention Hugo's female companion Cameron also needs to be taken into account - Hugo attends or does not attend, Cameron's two plans must be different.
Rick's words were clearly polite words, but the reporters had to sigh that Rick was all-encompassing, not only did he not show any posture, but also did not express his rejection of the Golden Globes, let alone hatred or ridicule; And it also gave enough face to make the Hollywood Foreign Press Association satisfied.
Sure enough, for Rick's official position, many members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association said in private that Hugo is a dedicated actor, and no one wants to see a similar situation, but it can't be avoided when they really encounter it, they pay enough respect to Hugo, and hope that Hugo can appear at the awards ceremony next year.
The expected tear-up battle did not materialize, Rick did not turn his nose up at the Golden Globes, and the Golden Globes did not blame Hugo. Clearly, Rick has reached an agreement with the Ballon d'Or for Hugo's absence – at least on the surface.
The happy scene between the two sides has brought peace to Hollywood, but everyone knows that the damage has been done, and Hugo's absence for three consecutive years has had an immeasurable impact on the Golden Globes, and the most direct manifestation can be seen in the ratings appeal - the loss of a large number of viewers is inevitable.
Hugo's refusal to attend is still a shocking decision in the eyes of many, who see no reason for Hugo's refusal of the Golden Globes in the context of today's Hollywood. Although the two sides came and went, this incident still became a hot topic of discussion - the topic of Hugo was really hot.
With Hugo's absence, the biggest question is updated again: So should the Golden Globes be awarded to Hugo? Will Hugo be able to achieve a breakthrough of zero at the Ballon d'Or this year? If so, who will receive the prize? If not, then ...... The show is here!
