To film the 30-second spot, E! created a red carpet-simulation pop-up set at a busy intersection in Los Angeles (Hollywood and Highland). After a 10-year ratings high three years ago, viewership has dipped slightly since, with an audience of 19.3 million tuning in last year. “The Golden Globes is an Oscars audition”. “That stuff I did, I was shocked that people thought that was shocking. He won’t admit it, but he had tears in his eyes and he was so happy for me to kind of have my own thing now”, said the 21-year-old shortly after receiving the gig.

For some reason, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association was not impressed with Depp’s notable and gritty performance as the infamous gangster Whitley Bulger in “Black Mass” Yet, back in 2010, Depp was nominated for best actor in “The Tourist”, which is still hard to grasp. I’ll bet on “The Big Short”, because the cast is filled with HFPA favorites and its nonfiction source material (the book by Micahel Lewis) gives it gravitas, even though much of it is very amusing. Whereas for TV, it’s not that important, and it is used more as a platform to honor shows and performers that, in all honesty, will never win an Emmy.
Produced by dick clark productions in association with the HFPA, the Golden Globe Awards are viewed in more than 236 countries worldwide and are one of the few awards ceremonies to include both motion picture and television achievements. The actress would don Dior once more at the Academy Awards later that year, where she famously tripped on her skirts while walking up to receive her Oscar! Vikander was nominated for lead for “The Danish Girl” (and supporting for “Ex Machina”), while Rampling wasn’t nominated at all.
