Today's Blind Items - Old Meets New -Golden Globes
A few weeks ago I ran into the daughter of this permanent A+ lister. We talked about what was going on in her world and then I asked her for any old Golden Globe or Academy Award stories her father had told her that I could use. She had a few, but she said the one he talked about the most was one particular year. She says it was special to him because he was nominated. It had been a few years since the last time and even longer since the time before that. She said he didn't even remember the first two times because he was so wasted.
Anyway, he said that one year was the perfect blend of old Hollywood and young Hollywood with a "bunch of pricks in the middle." There were two Academy Award winners yelling at each other. Both are permanent A listers. One is till alive. The deceased one will be permanent A+ list into eternity. They hated each other and would literally shout two tables away about how the other was an awful human being. You had this first time nominee who was probably more famous for a very long running network tv show that came after, doing lines of coke with the nominated offspring of a Hollywood legend. The offspring has often been the subject of where did she go rumors. In the middle were the pricks. All A lsiters. All thinking they are the biggest of big shots. The prime of their career permanent A listers. One was the celebrity offspring of an A lister. He was fondling women while his wife was there and making plans to f**k another woman the next day. He just acted like his d**k was bigger than everyone. He tried to hit on this winner from that night who had just won an award but her monster breakout classic film of all time was still a few months away from being released. When she turned him down, he called her a b**ch. They spoke one time after. Ever. And that was about a year later. She hates him to this day. Also with his d**k hanging out was another permanent A+ lister also at his prime. The thing is, they both were upstaged by this older than them, but so much more cool permanent A+ lister who didn't need to take his d**k out for everyone to know he was still the best. Apparently there were some cranky actors who were nominated and thought this was the Oscars instead of a place to get drunk and find women to have sex with while seeing old friends. It was not what it is today.
Michael Douglas, Kate Winslet, Jack Nicolson for the last part?
ReplyDeleteSo much more cool permanent A lister-Jack N?
ReplyDeleteDeceased permanent A lister-Robin Williams?
ReplyDeleteAnd Warren Beatty?
ReplyDeleteBridget Fonda for the offspring doing lines of coke?
ReplyDeleteWhere did she go offspring: Bridget Fonda
ReplyDeleteOr possibly Richard Gere so...
ReplyDeleteMichael Douglas, Kate Winslet Gere or Beatty and Jack Nicholson?
First time nominee Kelsey Grammer?
ReplyDeleteJulia Roberts winning for Steel Magnolias while her huge breakout Pretty Woman was next.
ReplyDeleteBridget Fonda doing lines with Laura San DiGiacomo
ReplyDeleteJack Lemmon as the permanent a-list father who was nominated
Julia Roberts won for Steel Magnolias, next film was Pretty Woman
Lots of potentials for dicks: Bruce Willis, Michael Douglas, Tom Cruise, etc.
1989
Bridget Fonda - offspring
ReplyDeleteLaura San Giacomo - first time nominee
Julia Roberts - winner with upcoming monster film
Zelda Williams for the narrative? Robin had a lot of success at the GGs over the years
ReplyDeleteYears ago back in the 1980's, Robin Williams had a very, very funny stand up act about how big his penis was. (NSFW or TV)
ReplyDeleteSo, as soon as I read Enty's, "He just acted like his d**k was bigger than everyone," I immediately thought of Robin.
He was so funny! I'm glad Hollywood never, ever changes,
Ain't that right, David Schwimmer?
Bridget Fonda was first to mind, where did she go/nominated offspring? She was nominated for a Golden Globe for a 1989 movie I never saw, Scandal. Yikes, can't guess the others except Nicholson.
ReplyDeleteI think the year is 1998 because Robin Illiams was nominated and the breakout star was Angelina Jolie who won that year for Gia but the breakout film was 1999 Girl, Interupted. Someone has probably beat me to this in the time it took me to type it.
ReplyDeleteBridget Fonda was nominated for a GG in 1990 and 2002. If she is the coke snorting offspring of permanent A+ hollywood actor listed in the blind then the nominated best actors in those years were:
ReplyDelete1990 Jack Lemmon, Al Pacino, Robin Williams, Tom Cruise(winner), Daniel day Lewis
2002 R.Crowe, K.Spacey,will smith, denzel and billy bog.
I assume this blind is about the 1990 awards given those choices.
Julia Roberts won for best supporting actress for Steel Magnolias but Pretty Woman came out later in 1990 so that fits. Jack Nicholson also there.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell play into this one. And, that Enty was talking to Kate Hudson (she considers Kurt her father). Not sure about the other players, but Russell was nominated for GG in 1984 for Silkwood.
ReplyDeleteI looked it up and Bridget Fonda left movies to raise her family.
ReplyDelete@Dena Excellent guess!
ReplyDeletePermanent deceased A lister into (From Here to) eternity might be Burt Lancaster. He was nominated in '82 for Atlantic City and Henry Fonda was for On Golden Pond. Michael Douglas for celebrity offspring, and Paul Newman for cool permant A lister (Cool Hand Luke)
ReplyDeleteAnyone who saw the Fisher King knows that Robin Williams didn't have a big one. I can't picture him being someone who would swagger around bragging about it even if he did.
ReplyDeleteWonder who the living A lister involved in the argument is?
Bridget filiming "Jackie Brown." Nice little scene where De Niro fucks here against a kitchen sink. I hardly think that was the only experience she had with that bullshit. I'd bet she could write a book.
ReplyDelete...dunno. Kirk Douglas still alive, Newman dead. Lemmon? Tony Randall? Couldn't miss Michael Douglas in that one if you tried!
ReplyDeleteBrando.
ReplyDeleteBrando
ReplyDeleteWho hated Brando? The only one I couldn't miss was Michael Douglas
ReplyDeleteBrando. The one I couldn't miss was Michael Douglas. Who could????
ReplyDeleteSorry, my answers kept disappearing. Won't happen again. Who hated Brando? Probably anyone less talented. Can you hear the Godfather arguing? Must have been a gas to listen to!
