Alexander never really expected to gain an extra prize when he set his sights on developing a video game business.
In fact, with the grand franchise-profiteering plan that he's laid out in this re-life, Pixar or a Pixar-esque team was generally slated for a little while in the years.
Many supposedly unrelated factors just coincided with another and the greatest opportunity had presented itself to his face.
With that level of obviousness, it was stupid not to take it.
Thus, he took it.
It may seem like nothing and wasteful to everyone's perspectives now... but Pixar was totally going to overturn people's perspectives in the future.
The advantages, accolades, and potential of Pixar are so plentiful. To the point that it would shake up many of Creed Entertainment's existing structures.
It was Alexander's responsibility to integrate everything and make this new Creed business addition seamlessly blend into the whole corporate synergy strategy.
He had a lot of ideas, proposals, and plans to draft from all that Pixar now made probable... coupled with Chaos, he might even be able to do the improbable.
The combo just got extremely exciting and Alexander quickly immersed himself in doing just that!
As for other matters... they're something that can be relegated to the back end. He had key personnel that would work things out.
There are even matters, that Alexander didn't care for.
-----
For a matter that he didn't care for... vanity awards were a great example of that.
Vanity nominations were much more so. It's not that he truly forgot when Star Wars George discussed it... he just actively chose to not remember. If that even means anything.
Anyways, the 43rd Golden Globe Awards happened to honor the best in film and television for the year 1985.
On January 24th of 1986, celebrities, Hollywood personalities, and gossip media representatives flocked to the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
"Alex Creed" did get a screenplay nomination for his part in the mega 1985 blockbuster called Back to the Future but why should Alexander attend?
More than anything, he just wanted to keep his private anonymity for as long as he can.
With the Alexander Creed name's ubiquity...
Matched with Creed Entertainment's relatively high-profile projects...
Coupled with the incredibly recent deal with THE George Lucas...
Then there are the private investigations on him that are done by many business competitors...
And less than effective privacy and secrecy measures...
It was actually quite a miracle that the whole thing hadn't blown up to crazy proportions.
Then again, rumors and whisps of the truth had long been circulating around... and Alexander didn't want to mess with the stability any further
Going to an event with high publicity like the Golden Globes is a big no-no.
Fortunately, the screenwriting credit was shared with Curious Bob and Innovative Rob.
That was more than good enough and if the Oscar nomination list does include them again, then they could represent him as well.
In any case, whether Alexander attended or not didn't matter anyways... since Back to the Future's participation in the Golden Globes wasn't that fruitful at all.
For every category that the flick was nominated in.... nobody actually got the win.
The best screenplay award ultimately went to Woody Allen for his work on Purple Rose of Cairo.
BttF's "The Power of Love" did have a shot for Best Original Song but it got tagged by Lionel Richie's "Say You, Say Me" from White Nights.
For acting accolades, Michael J. Fox and Eric Stoltz had nominations for Best Performance and Best Supporting Performance respectively but they both respectively lost in those categories as well.
The final and biggest loss was in the contention for the Best Motion Picture with Back to the Future losing to Prizzi's Honor.
It would seem that being 1985's biggest box office champion, with global ticket sales racking up to 380 plus million dollars, isn't anything to be celebrated from the perspective of the Golden Globe's Hollywood Foreign Press.
Back to the Future fans were upset and conspiracies of studio suppression and whatnot were made, however, the results were already set.
There's no point whining on about it since there's nothing much to whine about anyway. However, it was somewhat good that people whined... maybe ticket sales would surge in the few remaining theaters that are still allotting slots for the film.
All in all, the true award for the film is the profits. Other awards are extra prizes.
Anyone who takes the Golden Globes, Academy Awards, Emmys, and these sorts of stuff seriously is a bit much in Alexander's opinion.
It's not like losing is the greatest tragedy of the century.
They're just silly awards and he entered the entertainment industry with an entirely different goal in mind.
Besides, he just snag his own extra Pixar prize, so he's more than good even if BttF didn't win him any.

Anyways, after the whole Golden Globes affair, another matter did pop up that got people's attention.
After all, just fresh with people still discussing how certain celebrities, songs, and films could have one... a major accident happened.
If their favorite film or favorite celebrity not winning an award feels like a tragedy... then what happens next is the true tragedy of great proportions.
The accident would come to be known as Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.
Challenger, the Space Shuttle in the headlines, is a partially reusable spacecraft operated by the all-apparent space authority called NASA. It flew for the first time in April 1981 and was used to conduct in-orbit research, and deploy commercial, military, and scientific payloads.
It had a somewhat extensive career but by the time its scheduled January 28, 1986 launch happened... tragedy struck!
73 seconds into its launch, the spacecraft disintegrated, killing all 7 crew members aboard, including a schoolteacher named Christa McAuliffe.
Speculation, turmoil, and all that was dominating the news.
People were originally looking forward to another Apollo 11-esque but what they got was this.
A heavily publicized fatal accident that would shroud the country in a time of mourning.
Even the enthused Alexander had to pause and ponder about his Chaos Butterfly influence for a bit.
He was kind of expecting a different outcome for the Challenger with his chaotic existence in this new timeline, however, it seems that he was expecting too much.
There were no grim reports about the death of Art Scholl in the Creed version of Top Gun, after all, and it got his hopes up.
Still, Alexander may have affected the outcome of a camera plane's supposed disaster but that didn't necessarily mean that it will work out when it comes to rocket-level accidents.
Clearly, it was because he was connected enough to affect the Top Gun one but he wasn't exactly able to meddle at all with NASA projects.
Inadvertently, the whole debacle suddenly became an interesting insight into the scope and degree that the Chaos Butterfly effect was able to come into play.
Of course, Alexander also realized that it was a bit disturbing of him to integrate himself into every grim accident that pops up.
Hence, he stopped himself and went back to the grind of synergistically meshing Pixar, Chaos, and the Creed Entertainment structure altogether.
With that said, awards and tragedies will always come and go... and Alexander's mindset was just to work on his goals and remain steady throughout all of it.
