Eve's Christmas went pleasant as usual like every year, the only difference was that she received more gifts than the previous years this time. Many people sent Eve gifts and even those whom she has only met few times also sent christmas presents. As for the gifts from fans, they will be first inspected by Mary and then sent later.
Among all the gifts, Frank's gift this time was indeed the most special and precious of all. Even Liam was surprised when he saw the gift.
...
At the end of each year, no matter whether it is a busy business, even the entertainment circle is busy commending the people in the circle who have made outstanding achievements this year. In the year that is about to pass, excellent works have emerged one after another, and good movies and good actors have appeared together. There are many hits this year and this year's Oscar competition has shown a fierce state.
Even though the shortlist for important awards has not been announced, the seeded players have already surfaced.
For example, the seed players who hit the
throne of best actor and actress are Ralph Fiennes (The English Patient), Geoffrey Rush (Shine), Tom Cruise (Jerry McGuire), Diane Keaton (Marvin's Room), Kristian Scott Thomas (The English Patient) and many others.
From December of this year to February of next year, major awards and judging activities in North America will be awarded one after another, collecting all the excellent works throughout the year.
Even if there are a few leftovers, it will have little impact compared to the whole. The large number of these awards, the short intervals, the exposure rate and the degree of overlap with the Oscars form the so-called awards season, and the awards are divided into outposts and mains.
Among them, the major film critic associations are called outposts, and these awards generally come with a rhythm to strengthen the momentum of the film. Because film critics have different tastes and the number of judges is not large, they basically choose some films they like. There may be a big difference between the winners of the Los Angeles Film Critics Awards and the Chicago Film Critics Awards and the New York Film Critics Association Awards.
After dozens of awards from the Film Critics Association, large and small, some powerful films can stand out and enter the Oscar ceremony with a strong momentum.
Among these dozen of awards, only three awards are of the most significance. The most important is of course OSCARS, and then there are Golden Globe awards and British Acedmy awards.
This year's Golden Globe awards nominations are out, and "Romeo and Juliet" got selected for only two award and that are Best actress award in Musical and comedy category, and the other one is best adapted screenplay
When the news reached Eve, she was shooting underwater scenes on the set of "Titanic". She hurriedly got out of the water, dried herself with the water and hurriedly asked the person who reported the news: "Is it true?"
The person nodded and the smile on Eve's face got bigger. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked: "Is Leo also nominated?"
"No, only you were nominated in the whole crew and the other one is director for the screenplay."
Eve's smile faded and she looked worriedly at Leo besides her. James Cameron saw Eve's eyes and couldn't help twitch: "Hey girl, what are you worried about. Do you think it is easy to get nominated for Golden Globe awards?"
Seeing Eve still didn't understand, he explained. Golden globe awards are the second most famous and influential awards, and therefore getting nominated for them is also not easy. The reason why Eve got nominated is because of two reasons. Firstly, her acting was very good in "Romeo and Juliet" and it is an Art film, the type Acedmy likes. The second reason is because its her first time getting nominated for the award. Both Golden Globe and Acedmy awards favors the actors first time a little, but this situation is only for the first time. Leonardo has already been nominated for Golden Globe and Acedmy award before, so getting second nomination is not an easy job.
Eve understood James explanation and nodded.
The matter was over and the shooting continued. But for Eve, the things have only started to get busier. As soon as she got free from filming, she was taken away by Kevin, who came to visit her on urgent basis.
In the lounge of hotel, Eve was sitting opposite to her agent Kevin Huvane.
Kevin spoke first: "You must've heard of the news by now."
Eve nodded. She already knows about her golden globe nomination and the importance of the award, as she is nominated on her debut film.
Kevin said: "Your information is not to the point. You are not only nominated for Golden Globes, but also National film awards, and best actress in horror genre in Saturn awards too."
"Really" A surprised voice escaped from Eve's mouth.
Kevin nodded: "Yes"
Although Eve has also been nominated for other awards like Teen awards, Los Angeles awards, Super awards and many others. But compared to the prestigious Golden Globe, others are of not much importance. So, the only awards to focus on are National film awards and Saturn awards.
National are Literary/Art film awards, and are only second to big 3. While Saturn awards on the other hand are purely commercial. Eve's both films, "Romeo and Juliet" and "Scream" are quite a fit with these awards.
Kevin informed: "I have already paid visit to the Fox Studio's office, and they will try their best to promote you in award campaign. As for CAA, I will handle it personally."
When Eve returned to the set, Leo asked her about the situation. She herself is quite confused. All the arrangements have already been made by Kevin, and she doesn't have any work to do. He asked her to just focus on filming, while he and Caa will take care of other matters.
Leonardo twitched the corner of his mouth hearing the reply. Its so cool to have an agent like Kevin who can take care of all the matters. Anyway, it's good in a sense. Eve can at least focus on filming without any external intervention.

P.S. Frank's gift will remain a little mystery for now.
>> in 90s and early 2000s, the prestige of Golden globe awards was indeed high. Although it has been in decline lately.
