It's impossible to say. Who would push their award away and tell the awarding party that they are not qualified and that the award should go to Moran? Don't be ridiculous! No one would think they have too many awards.
However, when they were answering questions from reporters, they all perked up their ears, wanting to hear how Laila would respond.
Facing so many questions, Laila put on an elegant smile and said, "The nominated films this time are all very strong. I think it's not surprising no matter who the award goes to."
Laila's words made those eavesdropping look a bit better. No one wants to hear from others that their carefully crafted film is inferior to others, or that their award should go to someone else. Hearing her answer the reporters like that made these people instantly like Laila more.
Laila herself didn't care whether she was belittling her film. Good or bad, it's not something she decides, it's the audience's evaluation. If the audience thinks it's good, even if she belittles it to dust, it's still good. So being a little modest, using a sentence to gain the favor of others, and creating a good image, why not do it?
But the reporters didn't want to let her off so easily. Of course, they hoped to dig out some words from her like "The Golden Globe Awards are terrible" or "This is discrimination." Unfortunately, Laila, this "old hand," didn't fall for it. The reporters hoped she would do something more impulsive, something that would disregard her image, so they could write more reports that readers would like.
You, a young lady from a wealthy family, doing something arrogant and overbearing would be quite sensational, but you always appear so calm and composed.
The reporters wanted to remind her that there were only a few months left in the summer vacation season. Don't you want to stir up some big news and promote the second part of "The Lord of the Rings" at the same time?
Surprisingly, Laila had no intention of using this incident for hype.
She does like hype, that's for sure because it's the cheapest and most effective way to promote. But she's not stupid. If she criticizes the Golden Globe Awards, not only will she be blacklisted by all the awards' judges, what other benefits will she get? When it comes time to judge an award, they will think of her criticizing the Golden Globe Awards. Will they give her the award or not? If they don't, maybe the next person to be criticized will be themselves. But if they do, wouldn't they be seen as a coward who succumbed to violence in the eyes of others?
So Laila handled it very cleverly. With just a few words, everyone is happy, and there is no harm to anyone. Will anyone care if the reporters are disappointed? The answer is definitely no.
At first, she still held the idea that maybe she could snatch an award from someone else, but as the awards ceremony went on, this idea had long been set aside by her.
The original "The Lord of the Rings" was also despised at the Golden Globe Awards and did not receive a single award. It can be seen that the judges did not like this movie. Whether it was because they didn't like its high box office, or for other reasons, Laila only knew that the wheels of history were once again running along their original track, leaving her surrounded by a group of journalists who were afraid of causing trouble outside the hotel.
She did have some things she wanted to say. Would she really say them to these journalists? She's not an idiot. If she wants to make money, she has to do it with her own family's media. How could she give it to others, right?
After answering a few casual questions and getting rid of those enthusiastic reporters, Laila and the others finally managed to leave with the help of the bodyguards.
When they got home and went online, they realized why the reporters had been so excited just now. It turned out that the internet had already exploded because of the Golden Globe Awards. Countless people were indignant for Laila, thinking that she had been treated very unfairly.
Not only were Laila's fans angry, but also fans of "The Lord of the Rings" books. They loved the work so much, how could it not win a Golden Globe Award? Was it because the box office was too high, or because Laila was too young, making them feel that giving such a movie an award was unfair to others? But did they give fair treatment to Laila and her film?
It's not just them, fans of the other actors in the film were also unhappy. You know, back then, countless well-known actors made cameo appearances in this film. Many of them are first-line or even top-level stars, and their fan base is very considerable. How could their idols be willing to make cameo appearances in a bad film? But such a good film didn't win a single award?
That's unacceptable!
So the internet was in an uproar, with all kinds of condemnation, all kinds of angry curses, and all kinds of criticism of the Golden Globe Awards dominating most of the topics for a while. Just look at the heat on Facebook, and you can see that five out of the top ten hottest topics are related to the Golden Globe Awards.
Many of the more passionate people have already begun to call for a boycott of the Golden Globe Awards. If the current trend continues until next year, it might really cause the ratings to plummet to an all-time low.
Why do big-name stars come to the Golden Globe Awards ceremony? Isn't it because they can increase their exposure in front of a global audience and become more familiar? If no one watches the awards ceremony anymore, will they continue to show up at the scene?
Once a vicious cycle starts, the 63rd Golden Globe Awards might as well close its doors!
When the judges of the Golden Globe Awards were informed of the incident, they were still celebrating the new high ratings. Especially when presenting the awards for Best Director and Best Picture, the ratings were 30% higher than last year.
They felt that it was right to use Laila's name in the promotion earlier. When it comes to popularity, who in Hollywood or even America is more popular than her? As long as she appears, it will guarantee ratings. This rule not only applies to TV shows but also to awards ceremonies as a great auxiliary tool for boosting ratings.
Of course, just use her popularity to keep the audience, but her movie will not be given any awards for the time being. With a box office of 1.4 billion, it is obviously considered a commercial film. Does a commercial film still want an award? Don't be ridiculous!
For many years, many people have regarded the Golden Globe Awards as a barometer for the Oscars, so the judges of the Golden Globe Awards also subconsciously judge films based on the Oscars' perspective when dividing the cake. So they would choose films that they think the Oscars would choose. It was precisely because of this that they didn't even consider Laila for an award.
Even the Oscars didn't give her the Best Director award due to her age. Why would the Golden Globe Awards give it to her? In a few more years, when she is in her thirties or forties, it won't be too late to give her an award then.
But when they heard the news and knew that the internet was in an uproar because of the awards ceremony, they were suddenly at a loss.
