203 Start of 68th Golden Globes Awards

At the Beverly Hilton Hotel, against the backdrop of the red carpet, Lucas faced a throng of eager journalists. When asked, "How does it feel to be nominated in three categories?" Lucas responded with a beaming smile, "I feel great."

Lucas's nominations included Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama for his role in "127 Hours," Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture for "Inception," and twice for Best Original Song in a Motion Picture. Achieving such recognition was a remarkable accomplishment for an actor who had been in the industry for barely two years.

The journalists gathered around Lucas, each eager to capture a unique angle on his rapid rise to stardom. Their questions ranged from his experiences on set to his feelings about the future.

One journalist from a popular entertainment magazine probed further, "Lucas, can you share what these nominations mean to you personally?"

Lucas smiled and said, "This means a lot. It reminds me that I'm making progress in the industry, which feels incredibly fulfilling."

Another journalist from a leading newspaper chimed in, "With such diverse roles, how do you prepare differently for a drama compared to a sci-fi blockbuster?"

Lucas grinned, clearly holding back a secret. "I wish I could share everything," he said, pausing slightly. "Let's just say I have my own method in acting that I stick to, regardless of the genre."

Lucas smiled, his expression giving away nothing about his "Mind Workshop."

A journalist then shifted the topic to his music, "Given your popularity from your songs, will you focus more on acting or music?"

Lucas replied with a smile, "I have a passion for acting, but I also enjoy making music in my spare time."

Lucas continued to field questions from other journalists as the interview neared its conclusion.

As the session was wrapping up, a blogger asked for his thoughts on the future, "Where do you see your career heading after such a phenomenal start?"

Lucas answered thoughtfully, "Actually, I don't know... Anything can happen, honestly. I might continue to rise, or I might face challenges that could set me back—only time will tell where my career will go."

As Lucas wrapped up his conversation, the journalists turned their attention to other celebrities at the event, such as Justin Bieber and Christian Bale. Meanwhile, Lucas stood up against the red carpet backdrop, posing confidently for the photographers.

Dressed in an Armani suit, Lucas exuded confidence and ease in front of the camera, a demeanor shaped by his frequent experiences at such high-profile events.

After his moment on the red carpet, Lucas made his way into the venue. He found his seat at a table and noticed Andrew Garfield sitting next to him. Recognizing the young actor immediately, Lucas greeted him with a warm smile.

Andrew caught sight of Lucas and a flash of recognition lit up his face. He greeted Lucas warmly and gave him a friendly pat on the back, "Nice to meet you, Knight."

Lucas returned the gesture, smiling, "You too, Garfield."

"Just Andrew," Andrew corrected with a grin.

"Then just Lucas," Lucas replied, matching his smile.

Andrew chuckled, "Can't believe I'm sitting beside someone as talented and popular as you—"

Lucas laughed softly, "Haha, everyone's popular here, Andrew. Honestly, next to stars like Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, and Justin Bieber, I feel pretty ordinary."

Andrew nodded, smiling at Lucas's words. "I guess you're right." He glanced around the room and added, "Feels like I'm pretty ordinary here too." Then, turning back to Lucas, he asked, "Do you ever get nervous at these things?"

"A little," Lucas admitted, "but I'm gradually getting used to these kinds of events."

Andrew nodded, then rubbed his hands together. "Good for you. I still get pretty nervous, you know."

Lucas looked surprised. "Haven't you gotten used to these events by now?"

Andrew shook his head. "Never. It's always a bit overwhelming. And this time, I'm even presenting..."

"Oh?" Lucas responded, not too surprised since Andrew Garfield had been a familiar face in the industry since 2004.

Seeing Lucas's curious look, Andrew explained, "I'll be presenting and talking about 'The Social Network' on stage."

"I see," Lucas nodded in understanding.

Changing the subject, Andrew added, "By the way, I watched your film, '127 Hours.' You were intense in that."

Lucas smiled appreciatively. "Thanks." He then looked at Andrew and added, "And congrats on being cast as the new Spider-Man."

Andrew responded with a modest smile.

The recent announcement in December that Andrew Garfield had landed the role of the "Amazing Spider-Man" had stirred considerable excitement among fans of the superhero film series.

As Lucas and Andrew noticed the cameras and crew of the 68th Golden Globes Awards beginning to prepare, Andrew remarked, "Looks like it's about to start..."

Soon after, the event kicked off as the camera panned across the venue. The announcer's voice boomed through the ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel, "Live! From the star-filled international ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel, welcome to the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards!"

Lucas, Andrew, and the other attendees burst into applause at the introduction, punctuated by the rousing sound of drums and the narrator's voice.

"And now—your host for the evening, ladies and gentlemen, Ricky Gervais!"

Ricky Gervais then took to the stage to the sound of applause. Waving to the crowd with a smile, he approached the microphone, pausing to take a sip from a glass of beer.

The cameras swept over the audience, capturing the reactions of various celebrities.

"Thank you, hello... and hello," Ricky began, his voice filled with his characteristic cheeky humor. "Welcome to the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards, live from the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles. It's gonna be a night of partying and heavy drinking."

The crowd responded with a mix of laughter and cheers, eagerly anticipating the rest of the evening's festivities.
