The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1209: The East is Not Bright
The 61st Golden Globe Awards ceremony came to an end, and Anson returned empty-handed——

Just as expected.

In the just-concluded holiday season, "The Butterfly Effect" and "Elephant" each staged box office miracles, rising strongly with a sweeping attitude and sweeping the box office with great momentum. Anson entered the awards season vision, but it did not last long. It encountered a wake-up call and came to an abrupt end.

Vase may still need to stay in the world of popcorn for a while.

It is conceivable that the news media will probably be eager to complain and joke again, using a serious attitude to hide their real intention of taking advantage of Anson's misfortune. After all, they have never shown mercy to Leonardo Dicaprio, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and others before, so why should they look up to Anson?
However, something unexpected happened -

"Anson Wood lights up the red carpet at the Hilton Hotel and stuns the audience once again."

"At the party outside the awards ceremony, Anson Wood, Cate Blanchett, Scarlett Johansson, Bill Murray and others were partying outside the Hilton Hotel."

"Saturday Night Fever is back! Anson Wood transforms the streets into a party stage."

“A big party – not during the awards ceremony, but after the ceremony.”

"Anson Wood once again demonstrates the charm of street performance. This time, he is not alone."

“Party, this is a real party!”

"Moonlight Ball! Anson Wood stages a romantic moment on Golden Globes night!"

Praise, praise, and praise—

It's a carnival!
Not only at the entrance of the Hilton Hotel, the news media also collectively entered a carnival mode. The bustling voices were completely attracted by the block dance party after the award ceremony. In addition to being amazed, they continued to praise and collectively fell into a frenzy.

In fact, two years ago, The New York Times conducted an exclusive interview with Anson, revealing the keyword "real" and showing Anson's unique charm.

However, no one believed it and no one bought it.

People still believe that it is just a setting and packaging, creating another image under a real name, and it is ultimately a commodity.

Time is the only criterion for verification.

until now.

After the band's European street tour on August 31st, the different talents displayed at different movie premieres, and the street dance in front of the Hilton Hotel tonight, Anson's image finally became clear.

People finally realized that Anson is Anson, a different kind of firework.

The controversies, contradictions, and doubts surrounding Anson have ultimately failed to truly reveal the true Anson. They have always been looking at, speculating, and judging this new character with Hollywood's usual eyes, trying to find a reference object suitable for Anson from past templates, and then follow the trajectory to depict Anson's position in Hollywood.

However, they finally realized they were wrong.

Not only is it wrong, it is terribly wrong.

People should not rely on past experience to examine and judge this character. The emergence of Anson Wood is bringing a new breath of air to Hollywood. No one can predict Anson's future and ultimate height.

But there is no doubt that people can keep their expectations high.

Then, an unbelievable scene appeared.

The Golden Globe Awards ceremony ended, but all the attention was focused on Anson, even overshadowing "The Lord of the Rings 3" and "Lost in Translation", once again making people feel Anson's current momentum.

It was totally unexpected that things took such a turn.

This also proves once again that Anson is now indeed——

Very popular!

Before the Golden Globe Awards, the whole of Hollywood was fascinated by Johnny Depp. This actor who had been in Hollywood for more than 15 years finally became a top star with the sudden appearance of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and became a top star overnight. He completed the Hollywood triple jump in one fell swoop.

How crazy is this craze?
That year, "Alien" was released and it exploded at the box office, earning Sigourney-Weaver an Oscar nomination for Best Actress.

Similarly, "Backdraft" became a phenomenal work, earning Tom Hanks his first Oscar nomination for Best Actor in his career.

Also, "Ghost" topped the 1990 annual box office champion, and Whoopi Goldberg not only received a nomination but also won her only Oscar.

And so on and so forth.

A film achieves incredible box office success and becomes part of the cultural landscape, breaking free from the constraints of the academy and earning its actors unprecedented acting nominations.

However, "The Mask" did not win an Oscar nomination for Jim Carrey, "The Terminator" did not win an Oscar nomination for Arnold Schwarzenegger, "Titanic" did not win a nomination for Leonardo DiCaprio, and "Spider-Man" did not win a nomination for Anson.

From this we can see the difficulty of breaking down the barriers of academic prejudice.

Right now, the whole of Hollywood thinks that Johnny Depp should win a nomination for "Pirates of the Caribbean" -

This is Johnny Depp's current popularity, which can be called a frenzy.

Everyone in Hollywood is talking about Johnny Depp, and he was undoubtedly the biggest focus at this year's Golden Globe Awards.

Now, the award ceremony is over, but the media's headlines are all about Anson.

Such is Anson's momentum that he can still gain the upper hand even when facing Johnny Depp head-on. No wonder Hollywood is full of exclamations and praises.

However, now is the award season, and any topic will eventually return to the Oscars, and no one is an exception.

Two days after the Golden Globe Awards, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nominations for the 76th Academy Awards, dominating all entertainment headlines.

Amid the noise, the award season has truly entered its second stage where blood is at stake.

"The Lord of the Rings 3" leads the pack with thirteen nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay and other important awards.

Despite no acting nominations, "The Lord of the Rings: Revenge" still became the third most nominated film in Oscar history, second only to "Ben-Hur" with 3 nominations and "Titanic" with nominations.

There is no doubt that this year's award season is waiting to witness the glory of "The Lord of the Rings 3".

Following closely behind is "Master and Commander". After hitting a wall at the box office, the film successfully fought its way through the awards season with its excellent reputation, and finally received ten nominations including Best Picture and Best Director.

Another Oscar winner.

And yet...Russell Crowe couldn't laugh.

Like "The Lord of the Rings 3", "Master and Commander" also did not receive any acting nominations, so Russell's dream of replicating the glory of "Gladiator" was abruptly blocked.

Perhaps the only consolation for Russell is -

He wasn't nominated, but neither was Anson.

There was no "butterfly effect" and no "elephant". The two works that detonated the box office and became a hot topic during the holiday season were both absent.

Although Anson's rise was unstoppable, in the eyes of the academy, a vase was just a vase, not worthy of any reward, and the academy was too lazy to even take a second look at her.

The thing is that simple.
