Hollywood What If

The party was not that extravagant. In the first place, they would only stay in this place for at least an hour. They were just waiting for the nominations to be announced. There were few fruits to munch on and drinks to get tipsy.

Most of the personalities attending the meeting were part of the movies that have strong contenders to be nominated. The Golden Globes may be a level lower than the Academy Awards, but it was still a prestigious institution.

Tom Cruise has won Golden Globes in the past. Most of the time, the Golden Globes were like the People's Choice Award.

The Golden Globes, like the Oscars, favors art films, but the winners and nominations could be influenced.

The voters who decide the winners are all entertainment journalists for recognized media organizations... So yes, they could be bribed.

Kazir and Tom didn't forget about this ceremony, they also spent some time and money to convince people to nominate them.

CAA, Grey Pictures, Tom's PR team and even 20th Century Fox got involved. 20th Century Fox was the current distributor of The Revenant, and they would be happy to see the movie win awards, which could increase box office and DVD sales. Another reason was that 20th Century Fox wanted to score points with Kazir.

If Kazir won the Best Director award, he might come to an agreement with 20th Century Fox.

So far, the highest bidder was Sony-Colombia, which offered $2.70 billion for 30% of Grey Pictures. Kazir was waiting until next year to make a decision.

Angelina Jolie sat next to Kazir, while Penelope Cruz sat next to Tom Cruise... Now that you think about it, Tom and Penelope have almost the same last names.

The two women seemed to have a good relationship, there was no reason to be angry with each other. They even talked about going shopping this weekend.

Tom Cruise thought they would get nominations tonight, so he invited Kazir to go fishing in the ocean later. Tom Cruise had a yacht they could use.

"It all depends on whether we get nominated."

"Come on Kazir, don't be so negative. We both know we will be nominated. You were even nominated six years ago in the Best Director category for Taken."

"I didn't attend the nominations or the award ceremony because I knew I wouldn't win," Kazir muttered... Actually, he forgot. He didn't even remember who won that year. He was too busy to even think about winning an award.

Maybe Kazir never took the Golden Globes seriously.

"But this time I think we have a chance," Tom told him and Kazir nodded. Their movie and their performance was better this time... The fact that Taken won Best Actor and Best Original Screenplay was very puzzling. Well, it was true that the movie influenced a positive movement in society, so it deserved to win the awards.

And this time Kazir and Tom were prepared. They didn't mind spending money as long as they got their long-awaited awards. The two were rich anyway.

"Babe," Angelina whispered in Kazir's ear. "If you don't get a nomination, I'll do my best to make you happy tonight." She giggled weakly and kissed him on the cheek.

Kazir smiled and nodded his head. He knew that the Golden Globes were not their goal, so even if he didn't get a nomination, it would be okay. But it would be a different matter if he didn't get nominated for the Academy Awards. That would mean that all his hard work was for nothing.

"Tch, she's coming," Penelope muttered and everyone understood what she meant.

The four saw a tall and beautiful woman approach their table... It was none other than Nicole Kidman.

Tom Cruise kept his jovial smile on, but it was clear that he didn't like the fact that Nicole was getting closer.

"Our divorce just ended and now you're dating someone." Nicole smiled. She was also there to hear the nominations.

"Nicole, we are already divorced. I'm allowed to date whoever I want."

"I'm not even sure you were faithful to me before we divorced. I'm sure you met this woman before our divorce."

Nicole Kidman was here for her role as Virginia Woolf in The Hours. The movie had a chance to be nominated and possibly win some awards. By the way, The Hours was produced by Miramax Films.

"Nicole, you don't want to make a scene here."

As expected, Harvey Weinstein showed up. He turned to Tom's table and glanced at Kazir before eyeing Nicole, who returned to her seat.

Nicole Kidman was composed and smiled as she excused herself. For some reason, however, she seemed indignant.

Harvey Weinstein then left. He didn't bother to say hello to Tom or Kazir. Miramax never made a big investment, so it was impossible to hire someone like Tom Cruise.

Miramax was good at making art films and their films won many awards every year. Miramax basically cracked the code in winning Awards, or maybe Harvey Weinstein's influence in the Oscars was strong.

Maybe Kazir Grey and Harvey Weinstein would have a face-off at the Oscars. Because both of their movies had a chance to compete at the Oscars.

Some celebrities watched the scene but kept their silence. They hoped that something interesting would happen, but they were disappointed when Nicole Kidman left after a few minutes. Nicole and Tom's separation was never peaceful and many rumors were circulating.

Kazir didn't care, because he knew that Tom Cruise would remain popular in the 2020s. The actor was still healthy when the old Kazir died in a road accident.

As for Nicole Kidman... Let's just say that her popularity was nothing compared to Tom Cruise's.

This little scene ended and the people responsible for the announcement appeared.
