The One That Cannot be Stolen

The media's battles and discussions lasted until the Golden Globes came, and it was considered a result. The Golden Globe Awards ceremony opened on time at the end of January, and this most critical Oscar outpost has also become an essential criterion for judging the direction.

Like last year, Levi still did not participate in any other award presentations, but he still had to give the Golden Globes a face. Although this year's Golden Globes is not as meaningful to him as last year, this year's Golden Globes did not have the enthusiasm of last year, which also made the Golden Globes lose more than half of their appeal to Levi.

However, Levi still came to the Hilton Hotel even if it lost its attractiveness. It's just that this time the Golden Globes Awards are destined to make him not very happy. Before the awards ceremony started, an award had already disappeared.

"Best Screenplay Award... 'Shakespeare in Love,' congratulations to them!"

Levi felt a little regretful about the award, but he still applauded. In all fairness, 'Shakespeare in Love' is considered a masterpiece and is expected to win the award.

Moreover, Levi just won the award last year.

Hollywood has always had such an unspoken rule: to win the same award for two consecutive years, it is not only necessary to be the best this year but there should be a breakthrough from the level of winning last year and create better work.

Although Emily's script can be regarded as weird, compared with the practical significance of 'The Lives of Others,' it can't be considered a breakthrough in a complete sense. And soon, the second nomination for 'Shakespeare in Love' was also confirmed.

"Best Supporting Actress, Judi Dench!"

Judi Dench's performance in 'Shakespeare in Love' was indeed excellent; Levi could admit it. Anyway, Emily has no nominations for Best Supporting Actress, so there is no competition. He clapped his hands hard enough.

And soon, the awards began to favor Levi's films.

"Best Score... Emily, Yann Tiersen, congratulations!"

Yann Tiersen, who was sitting next to Levi, stood up. He is expected to win the award. Emily received unanimous praise from almost all music critics. It is also the best-selling movie on the original soundtrack this year. This musician, who just made his mark in Hollywood, has received too much popularity because of this work.

"Honestly, I don't know whether to be happy or sad to get this award. Emily's music is one of the best I've ever written, and I'm glad people like it. But since the song became popular, I had to play it in almost every concert, the influence of people on me, that is, Emily..." Standing on the stage and receiving the trophy, Yann Tiersen said in a depressed voice, "This music is my most successful work. It also lets me see the charm of movies. It is worth playing this piece of music so many times. This trophy, at least, gave me some response."

And what he said made the people sitting in the audience snicker and envious. Yann Tiersen claimed he was tired of playing, but how many people dream of this kind of treatment? An artist who doesn't hope their work can be recognized by so many people? The troubles of happiness, like Yann Tiersen, everyone desires to have it.

At least Levi believes that these people who compete for the best actress all have this idea: They definitely don't regard awards as a burden.

"Winner of Best Actress in a Drama Series... Cate Blanchett, Elizabeth!"

Blanchett, sitting on the side, stood up with her unique elegance. This actor from Australia does have a rare grace.

This movie is her famous work. In terms of performance, it is the best performance among actresses this year. Her performance is worthy of people's praise, and this best actress deserves her title.

After all, the Golden Globe is not as good as the Oscar. It has significant influence and is less utilitarian than the Oscars. For a long time, to establish its image, the Golden Globes have also explicitly stated that they are an international award and favor foreign actors. So, it is not surprising to get this award.

Seeing her on stage to receive the award, Levi couldn't help but observe Winona and Gwyneth Paltrow on the other side. Winona saw his eyes and gave him a confident smile, but she couldn't hide her envy. Although Gwyneth Paltrow, on the other side, was still applauding, her expression was a little forced.

At this time, How many people can not be nervous? As a competitor, Blanchett won the award, so they are most concerned about whether she has an award or not.

The award ceremony is very fast, and it will not take long before the next award; it has already arrived.

"Musical Comedy, Best Actress - Winona Ryder!"

Winona stood up, and while hugging Levi, she smiled proudly at Levi, raised her eyebrows, and then walked quickly onto the stage.

Levi turned his head: he saw that the expression on Gwyneth's face was already stiff. The Golden Globes are the most important outpost of the Oscars. Losing this award will have a considerable impact.

Although the Actors Union Award, another important outpost, may not be so good, it will be difficult to win it back now that it has lost a significant prize.

It can be said that Gwyneth's Oscar road has already lost by half.

Compared with Yann Tiersen, Winona's speech was much shorter. After all, she is an old Hollywood actor who knows these processes much better than him.

Soon after receiving the award, she went to the back to take pictures and was interviewed by reporters at the same time.

And the awards are still going on. 'Saving Private Ryan' won the best drama movie.

After the best drama has been determined, seeing who will win the next best musical comedy movie is intriguing.

Everyone knows there are only five Oscar nominations, and among these five places, 'Saving Private Ryan,' is destined to occupy one this year. Elizabeth has already lost to 'Saving Private Ryan,' so it is very interesting to see who the remaining best musical comedy movie will be awarded. The best musical comedy award is more likely to win an Oscar nomination.

"Best Musical Comedy Movie... Emily!"

Just as everyone was expecting, another award was shouted out. Levi also stood up at this time and stepped onto the stage. He didn't have the chance to touch this award last year, but getting it this year is an improvement.

Spielberg has already retired for this year due to the anti-war wave, and his film won this award, so who else can stop his film from becoming the best this year?

After making a few hastily made jokes, Levi left the stage.

The award for the best musical comedy has been awarded, and there are basically no awards that worry Levi anymore.

The best director award, as expected, should fall into Spielberg's hands, but it is estimated that he will not be very happy with this award. So what if the best director is given to Spielberg? He knew very well that he couldn't be an Oscar winner because of the current anti-war wave. In fact, it is just a competition for a consolation prize. How meaningful is such an award?

For a director, it is unacceptable for a good movie he shot to be unable to be recognized because of the anti-war wave. Levi is a director. So he knows better than others how sad it is when a director's hard work is ignored.

Just when Levi was thinking wildly, he had already walked backstage, and Winona had returned from the interview area at this time. She smiled triumphantly at Levi, shaking the trophy in her hand.

"Why do you look so happy?" Seeing her coming, Levi couldn't help asking.

"I'm not happy because I won the award..." Winona curled her lips, "I'm happy because the reporter asked me the question just now."

"Oh? What question?"

"He asked me: Miss Ryder, when interviewed Miss Paltrow, she said she hoped Winona would win. Do you have anything to say to her?"

Winona imitated the reporter's tone, making Levi laugh silently. He knew that although Winona never wanted to mention it, she was still very sad about Gwyneth's betrayal of her. Now that she has defeated Gwyneth, of course, she is also happy.

"How did you answer?"

Winona shook her head, "I don't have anything to say... Ever since she and I fell out because of competing for the right to star in 'Shakespeare in Love,' what else can I say? It's just that I thought that after winning the best actress, she would feel very uncomfortable, but who would have thought that she would lose her smile so quickly. Competing with this kind of person is really boring."

'Not everyone is like you, who care about every detail...' Levi smiled wryly.

What Gwyneth did was not wrong; everyone will have to hang out in Hollywood in the future.

"So, you forgive her?"

"How is that possible? I decided to just make the topic clear. I told the media directly: I don't believe that anyone would want someone else to win. I am the only person who is sincerely happy tonight!"

Her words stunned Levi again: he thought Winona would soften her heart, but who knew she would push so hard. "I have to say that you have opened my eyes. Now, I can't wait to see Gwyneth's expression."

[A/N: Regarding these remarks, after the Oscars in 1999, Gwyneth said that she would prefer Blanchett to win the award. Blanchett's answer was: No one really wants others to win.

Winona never mentioned Gwyneth after 1999, and she turned her face and left on the spot when asked.

Yann Tiersen actually complained that he didn't just have one song.]
