Hollywood What If Chapter 320
January was not much and there were few events that people remembered. Such as 50 Cent winning the MTV Video Music Award for Best Rap Video and Best New Artist in 2003 and Billboard Song of the Year in 2003.
Another major event this month was Super Bowl XXXVII, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won against the Raiders.
As expected, there were few big movies released this month. In fact, only two movies crossed the $100 million mark at the worldwide box office. Those two movies were Just Married and The Recruit.
Just Married was a romantic comedy starring Ashton Kutcher and Brittany Murphy. Ashton Kutcher was cast in many romantic comedies in the early 2000s.
The Recruit was a thriller suspense film starring Colin Farrell and Al Pacino. Two great actors in one movie.
Except for these two movies, most of the movies released this January were mediocre. Hollywood was probably cooking up something for the summer season.
Speaking of Hollywood, an important award show will be held this month. It was none other than the 60th Golden Globe Awards.
The show was held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, California. Just one month after the nominations were announced, the Golden Globes were already preparing the show for the winners and their guests.
The network that covered the show was NBC (National Broadcasting Company).
Kazir and Angelina attended the show together. Angelina wore a white gold sheath, a straight dress that fell from the hips.
As for Kazir, well, he was wearing a gray blazer, white shirt and black pants. He looked formal as always.
"I didn't expect you to wear anything gold... Does that mean something?"
Kazir whispered to Angelina as they posed in front of the cameras taking their pictures. Angelina smiled slightly and leaned closer.
"I think you will get something golden tonight." She giggled.
Kazir smiled. Well, maybe tonight he would get the Golden Globes trophy. The trophy only cost about $800, and it was made of marble and zinc and plated with 24-karat gold. But the value of the trophy was important to someone like Kazir, who was working to gain recognition in the industry.
After the hustle and bustle, the two slowly made their way to the entrance of the Golden Globes. As they found their seats, Angelina whispered to Kazir.
"By the way, I'm actually wearing a golden g-string tonight."
"..." Kazir's lips went stiff like another part of his body. He turned to Angelina, only to see the woman smiling beautifully.
The camera was pointed at the couple and Angelina immediately used her perfect smile. As for Kazir, he realized that Angelina was making fun of him, so his reaction was slow.
When he saw the camera, his smile was still stiff. As if he had heard something interesting.
'... Well, the golden G-string is not so bad. I can sniff it once in a while... Ahem, what am I thinking?'
Tonight he lost to Angelina.
A few minutes later, Tom Cruise and Penelope Cruz appeared and sat down at the table with Kazir and Angelina. This table was set up for the crew of The Revenant (the people who were nominated).
It was not easy to get an invitation to the Golden Globes because the space of the venue was limited. However, CAA and both Kazir Grey and Tom Cruise had strong connections in the industry, so they successfully got invitations for Angelina Jolie and Penelope Cruz.
The table next to them was also for the crew members of The Revenant, Harold Witsend was also at that table.
"I think we have a chance tonight," Tom told Kazir.
"Confidence is a must," Kazir replied.
Their movie was now being recognized by the media. God knew how many movie critics and shows they had to bribe to get positive reviews. Well, bribing was not the best term, it should be giving gifts.
The box office performance of The Revenant was also great. After almost three months in theaters, the movie had already grossed $429.83 million worldwide.
A few minutes later, all the guests and nominees found their seats and the ceremony officially began. Presenters like Tim Allen, Simon Baker, Halle Berry and other celebrities took the stage to announce the winners of each category.
The winners were given a few minutes to speak and express their gratitude. One by one, the celebrities accepted the trophies they had worked so hard to earn.
Finally, Jack Nicholson accepted the award for Best Actor in Motion Picture - Drama for his performance as Warren R. Schmidt.
Tom Cruise held his expression when one of the cameras was pointed at him. He knew this could happen, so he was prepared. Showing dissatisfaction on camera could affect his image. Of course, deep down, Tom Cruise was actually sad. He didn't win Best Actor in Motion Picture.
To make matters worse, his ex-wife, Nicole Kidman, actually won Best Actress in Motion Picture - Drama!
He watched as Nicole gave him a slightly smug look as she gave her speech.
He suddenly felt that his PR team had betrayed him. Because Pat Kingsley and her team also worked for Nicole Kidman. Currently, Pat Kingsley is still Nicole Kidman's agent and it seems that the female agent preferred Nicole more than Tom Cruise.
Tom thought about changing an agent for a second before he deleted the idea... At least not now. He understood that the real battle was at the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes were nothing but a practice game. Once he got the Oscar statue, nothing else would matter.
Besides, he had already won two Golden Globes, so no big deal.
Still, it was a little painful. After all, he worked hard for the movie and he felt he deserved an award.

Weird place to end the chapter... who got the award for best movie? Not sure I am reading this right, and the perspective is all over the place from director to narrator to tom cruise without any real stage directions to understand what is going on...
