Chapter 213
Other North American media are also reporting wildly on this Golden Globe nomination.
Los Santos Times: "This Golden Globe race is really fierce — I mean between Xu Can and Xu Can himself."
"This year's nominations can be called a battle of the gods; the Golden Globe's prestige has skyrocketed!"
Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy:
Happy-Go-Lucky — Sally Hawkins;
Love and Other Drugs — Anne Hathaway;
Mamma Mia! — Meryl Streep;
Vicky Cristina Barcelona — Rebecca Hall;
La La Land — Emma Stone!
Best Actress in a Drama:
Rachel Getting Married — Anne Hathaway;
Changeling — Angelina Jolie;
Doubt — Meryl Streep;
Revolutionary Road — Kate Winslet;
Spider-Man 2: The Amazing Spider-Man — Emma Stone!
"This year's Golden Globe race for Best Actress in Comedy and Best Actress in Drama is quite the spectacle!"
"Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, and Emma Stone — three people will compete back-to-back across two different awards! The scene can be called quite fierce!"
"Since the Golden Globe Awards were founded, there has never been such a grand occasion!"
This also explains why the Los Santos Times is making such a fuss — this year's Golden Globe nominations have shocked all of North America.
One actor receiving two nominations is already outrageous enough,
but three actors receiving two nominations each through different films — that is simply unprecedented and never to be repeated!
Emma Stone has to compete against two powerhouse actresses twice in a row!
Even Oscar-winning actress Meryl Streep is dumbfounded, forcing a bitter smile again and again during interviews.
"In all my years in this industry, I've never encountered a situation like this. The other two are both outstanding actresses; I can't guarantee I'll win anything."
Anne Hathaway's expression, on the other hand, was somewhat complicated:
"Honestly, I'd rather not have been nominated this time."
Because her nominated opponent is Emma Stone, which makes her feel even worse.
Stone Sister, meanwhile, felt it didn't matter:
"Honestly, I don't care whether I win the award or not. What I want more is for Xu Can to win."
Holding two Best Actress nominations, Stone Sister is simply unshakable.
Xu Can also received two nominations.
Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy:
In Bruges — Colin Farrell;
Last Chance Harvey — Dustin Hoffman;
Midnight Barcelona — Javier Bardem;
La La Land — Xu Can!
Best Actor in a Drama:
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button — Brad Pitt;
Revolutionary Road — Leonardo DiCaprio;
The Wrestler — Mickey Rourke;
Milk — Sean Penn;
Spider-Man 2 — Xu Can!
Faced with such a scene, the Chicago Times commented:
"This is the first time in Golden Globe history that the Best Actor and Best Actress awards have nominated a superhero film."
"Xu Can, also with double nominations, will compete for two awards against numerous superstars respectively."
"If the Best Actress race is Emma Stone vs. Meryl Streep vs. Anne Hathaway — a three-way battle…"
"Then the Best Actor race is Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Dustin Hoffman, and other long-established Hollywood superstars challenging Xu Can!"
"1v7! Xu Can is being attacked from all sides!"
Besides the lead acting nominations, Spider-Man 2 received nominations for Best Visual Effects and Best Sound Effects,
Love and Other Drugs and The Dark Knight Rises received nominations for Best Screenplay,
La La Land, besides Best Actor and Best Actress, received nominations for Best Score, Best Original Song, Best Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy!
The globally popular musical La La Land, a collaboration between Xu Can and Stone Sister,
has virtually already become the Golden Globe's biggest favorite! And it has hope of going on to challenge the upcoming Oscars!
Of course, before the awards are handed out, everything is empty talk.
While North American media and netizens were going into a frenzy over this Golden Globes,
Xu Can once again had to become a master of time management — this time the difficulty almost rose geometrically.
Kristen Stewart: "Xu, how about the three of us ring in the New Year together, playing Dou Di Zhu all night — you, me, and Emma…"
Looks like she got hooked on Dou Di Zhu that day, or perhaps she was more hooked on the game before Dou Di Zhu.
Which one exactly, Xu Can couldn't determine for the moment.
Anne Hathaway: "I'll be staying in Los Santos a few more days. If you're free, could you ring in the New Year with me… Of course, if you're going to be with them, forget I said anything."
Seeing this message, Xu Can temporarily didn't know how to reply.
Emma Roberts: "If you and Taylor or Emma have no plans, consider going with me to Times Square in New York for the New Year's Eve party."
There's even Ivanka and Scarlett Johansson!
Ivanka: "I have a small New Year's Eve party at my home, with some political and business figures or Hollywood celebrities. It's an informal occasion and might be helpful to you."
"Plus, if you don't have a date, I can reluctantly be your date."
???
Xu Can remembered, wasn't his relationship with Ivanka not this ambiguous?
Ever since she invested in his acquisition of Marvel, the two had only discussed official matters and eaten together once or twice.
As the daughter of the King of Understanding, she should have many wealthy young masters chasing her.
Xu Can actually didn't want to get involved with the King of Understanding.
But completely ignoring Ivanka felt like discarding affection.
Scarlett Johansson: "Wish you a Happy New Year in advance (if I forget to wish you on New Year's Eve)."
Widow usually chats with Xu Can so casually, always liking to share her daily life with Xu Can, occasionally complaining about directors, or complaining about idiotic scripts.
She is currently filming an ensemble romance film called "He's Just Not That Into You,"
originally the director wanted to invite Xu Can, Stone, and even Swift to participate, but they refused.
Jennifer Aniston, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Connelly, Bradley Cooper, and many other big stars are starring,
Widow has a short screen time in it, but her role is heavy, making her complain constantly.
Xu Can scrolled through his phone again, seeing a string of red number 1s and quite a few messages.
Song Qian: "When will you return to the country next time? Recently, a delicious restaurant opened in Songhai, with seafood you like inside. I'll take you to eat when you come back."
Ah, this...
Sister, didn't we agree not to bother each other?
Xu Can also had a bit of a headache; he never expected that one day, having too many romantic prospects would also be a trouble.
No wonder the goddesses he met in his past life were all quite cold; who knows how many simps were lining up in their contact lists.
Speaking of which, after tasting so many Western-style tender steaks, occasionally tasting flavorful Chinese seafood isn't bad either.
Xu Can's messages didn't stop until New Year's Eve,
even including A, Duan Mei, and Lei Mei from Galaxy Music.
Xu Can had contacted them once or twice but wasn't close; it was quite surprising that they sent him messages.
There was also a strange text message, not knowing where it came from, and it was in Chinese.
Only six characters: "Xu Can, Happy New Year."
Can't guess; probably a member of the cast or crew of "Dying to Survive."
