From Flower Vase to Film Emperor in Hollywood

The 61st Golden Globe Awards ceremony came to an end, with Anson going home empty-handed—

As expected.

During the recent holiday season, "The Butterfly Effect" and "Elephant" each staged box office miracles, rising powerfully with a sweeping force. Anson entered the awards season spotlight with the powerful momentum of these box office hits, but it didn't last long, encountering a head-on blow that brought everything to a sudden halt.

A pretty face, perhaps, still needs to stay in the world of popcorn flicks for a while.

Predictably, the news media will probably be eager to complain and ridicule, feigning concern while masking their real intention to gang up on Anson. After all, they've never shown Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, or others any mercy in the past, so why would they treat Anson with any special consideration?

However, a surprise occurred—

"Anson Wood lights up the Hilton Hotel red carpet, stunning the audience once again."

"Parties outside the awards ceremony: Anson Wood, Cate Blanchett, Scarlett Johansson, Bill Murray, and others revel outside the Hilton Hotel."

"Moonlight Ball! Anson Wood stages a romantic moment on the Golden Globe Awards night!"

Praise, praise, and more praise—

A frenzy!

Not only at the entrance of the Hilton Hotel, but the news media also collectively entered a frenzy, the bustling noise completely drawn by the street dance party after the awards ceremony, marveling and praising incessantly, collectively falling into fanaticism.

In fact, two years ago, "The New York Times" conducted an exclusive interview with Anson, revealing the key word "authenticity" and showcasing Anson's unique charm.

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

People still believed it was just a setting, a packaging, using the name of authenticity to create another image, ultimately still a commodity.

Time is the only true test.

Until now.

Having experienced the August 31st Band's European street tour, the different talents displayed at various film premieres, and tonight's street dance party outside the Hilton Hotel, the edges of Anson's image have finally become clear.

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

The controversies, contradictions, and doubts surrounding Anson ultimately failed to truly see Anson's authenticity. They always used Hollywood's usual perspective to observe, speculate, and judge this completely new figure, trying to find a suitable reference object 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 were they wrong, but they were also completely wrong.

People should not rely on past experience to examine and judge this person. Anson Wood's sudden emergence is bringing a new atmosphere to Hollywood. No one can predict Anson's future and ultimate height—

But without a doubt, people can continue to maintain their expectations.

Thus, an unbelievable scene appeared.

With the Golden Globe Awards ceremony over, the bustling focus all gathered on Anson, even overshadowing the brilliance of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" and "Lost in Translation", once again making people feel Anson's current momentum.

The turnaround of events was completely unexpected.

This also proves once again that Anson is indeed—

Hot as hell!

Before the Golden Globes, all of Hollywood was captivated by Johnny Depp.

This actor, who had been in Hollywood for over fifteen years, finally broke into the ranks of A-listers with the sudden emergence of "Pirates of the Caribbean", becoming a top superstar overnight, accumulating his strength and completing a Hollywood-style triple jump in one fell swoop.

How crazy was this trend?

Back then, "Alien" exploded at the box office, earning Sigourney Weaver an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress.

Similarly, "Big" became a phenomenon, achieving Tom Hanks' first Academy Award nomination for Best Actor in his career.

Also, "Ghost" topped the annual box office in 1990, and Whoopi Goldberg not only received a nomination but also took home her only Oscar statuette.

And so on.

A film achieves incredible success at the box office and becomes an indispensable part of the cultural trend, thereby breaking the shackles of the Academy and winning acting nominations for actors for the first time.

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

From this, one can see the difficulty of breaking the barrier of Academy prejudice.

Currently, all of Hollywood believes that Johnny Depp should win a nomination for "Pirates of the Caribbean"—

This is Johnny Depp's current momentum, a veritable craze.

All of Hollywood is discussing Johnny Depp. At this year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony, Johnny was also the undisputed biggest focus.

Now, the awards ceremony is over, but the media unanimously headlines with Anson.

This is Anson's momentum. Even if he directly confronts Johnny Depp, he can still gain the upper hand, no wonder Hollywood is exclaiming in amazement.

However, now is awards season, and any topic, after circling around, will ultimately return to the Oscars. No one can be 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, occupying all the entertainment headlines—

Amidst the noise, the awards season truly entered the second stage of fierce competition.

"The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" strongly led the way with thirteen nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and other important award nominations.

Despite not having nominations in the acting categories, "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" still became the third most nominated film in Oscar history, second only to "Ben-Hur" with fifteen nominations and "Titanic" with fourteen nominations.

Without a doubt, this year's awards season is waiting to witness the glory of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King".

Following closely behind was "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World". After encountering a wall at the box office, the film successfully carved out a bloody path in the awards season with excellent word-of-mouth, ultimately reaping ten nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director—

Another Oscar winner.

However... Russell Crowe couldn't smile.

Because, like "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", "Master and Commander" also did not have any acting nominations. Russell's dream of replicating the glory of "Gladiator" was forcibly intercepted.

Perhaps, the only thing Russell can comfort himself with is—

He didn't get a nomination, but Anson didn't either.

Neither "The Butterfly Effect" nor "Elephant", the two works that swept the box office and ignited a wave of topics during the holiday season, were absent.

Although Anson's rise has become unstoppable, in the eyes of the Academy, a pretty face is just a pretty face, not worth rewarding, not even worth a second glance.

Things are just that simple.
