Chapter 344 The Great Harvest

"The winner of the Best Director at the 62nd Golden Globe Awards is..."

On the television screen, the NBC channel displayed six split-screens, with Dustin Hoffman at the center, ready to open the envelope; the five suit-clad nominees were arrayed on either side, awaiting the results calmly or with subtle smiles, 74-year-old Clint Eastwood (2/4, won/nominated), 35-year-old Marc Forster (0/1), 51-year-old Paul Haggis (0/1), 34-year-old Christopher Nolan (0/1), 43-year-old Alexander Payne (0/2).

Who could it be!? As Dustin Hoffman read out the name, everyone in the banquet hall tensed for a moment. The Best Actor/Actress in a Drama had already been presented, with Jim Carrey taking the award as anticipated. He had already won in 1999 for "The Truman Show" and in 2000 for "Man on the Moon," securing Best Actor in Drama and Musical/Comedy, respectively. With contenders such as Johnny Depp from "Finding Neverland," none had the buzz that Carrey had, and his win met media predictions.
