“Cel Ales” la Globurile de Aur / “Cel Ales” (“The Chosen One”) at the Golden Globes (En)

Asa cum ti-am povestit, la inceputul lunii august am vizitat L.A.-ul. Motivul a fost invitatia de a participa la proiectia filmului “Cel Ales” in cadrul campaniei de vizionari pentru Globurile de Aur. Cel Ales, lung metrajul in care joc alaturi de Bogdan Stanoevici, Nicodim Ungureanu, Olimpia Melinte si alti actori minunati, in regia lui Cristian Comeaga, a marcat deschiderea campaniei Globurilor de Aur 2015, asa cum apare in presa americana. Am fost foarte bucurosi ca am putut fi prezenti si ca, daca de obicei la o astfel de proiectie participa 2-4 membri ai juriului Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), la proiectia filmului nostru au fost prezenti 7 dintre acestia si inca un numar remarcabil de membri ai Academiei Americane de Film alaturi de reprezentati ai presei din Los Angeles.

Asadar, sala a fost plina si le suntem recunoscatori prietenilor nostri romani din California care ne-au fost alaturi. Intre acestia au fost personalitati precum Nadia Comaneci si Anastasia Soare, a caror prezenta a fost foarte importanta pentru noi. Dupa film am fost invitati la un cocktail, unde am povestit despre intamplarile interesante de pe platourile de filmare, am dat interviuri si ne-am bucurat de sansa mare de a trai aceasta experienta, proiectia filmului “Cel Ales” la Globurile de Aur.
Asteptam cu nerabdare inceputul anului viitor, atunci cand are loc Festivitatea de decernare a premiilor Globurile de Aur si speram ca alaturi de numeroasele premii pe care Cel Ales le are deja in portofoliu la renumite festivaluri de film internationale, sa fie si o nominalizare la Globuri. Articolele precum “Romania ‘s ‘The Chosen One’ Marks the Beginning of the 2015 Golden Globes® Campaigns” aparut in prestigiosul IdieWire sau interviurile din presa americana ne dau sperante.
In orice caz, va fi frumos la batranete, cand le voi povesti nepotilor mei ca am fost si eu la L.A, ca stiu sentimentul de a fi in sala cu oameni care dau tonul in industria mondiala a filmului.
Sa ne tii pumnii!!! :)

As I have told you before, I visited L.A. early August. The reason for my visit was the invitation I received to be present at the projection of the movie “The Chosen One” during the Golden Globes screenings campaign. “The Chosen One”, the feature film in which I star alongside Bogdan Stanoevici, Nicodim Ungureanu, Olimpia Melinte and other wonderful actors, directed by Cristian Comeaga, marked the opening of the Golden Globes 2015. We were very happy to be a part of it and to notice that, even though only 2-4 members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) are usually present at a screening, in our case no less than seven members were in the room, together with a remarkable number of members of the Academy of Motion Picture and Arts and L. A. journalists.

So, the auditorium was full and we are grateful to our Romanian friends from California who have been there for us. Among them are personalities such as Nadia Comaneci and Anastasia Soare, whose presence has been very important to us all. After the movie we were invited to a cocktail party, where we have reminisced interesting experiences from the set, gave interviews and thoroughly enjoyed this unbelieveable experience, the projection of the movie “The Chosen One” at the Golden Globes.

We are looking forward to the beginning of next year, when the Golden Globes Awards ceremony will take place, hoping that “The Chosen One” will add a nomination to the Golden Globes to its numerous awards already won at various international film festivals. Press articles such as the one from IndieWire titled “Romania’s “The Chosen One” Marks the Beginning of the 2015 Golden Globes Campaigns” or the interviews published in the American press give us hope.

No matter the outcome, I will proudly tell my grandsons about that time when I went to L.A. and that I am familiar with the feeling of being in the same room with people who set the pace in the international film industry.

Keep your fingers crossed for us!!! :)
