As a freelancer in the awards show scene, I’m one of the many jacks-of-all-trades who work tirelessly to ensure these grand events run smoothly. From being among the first to arrive and the last to leave at any given ceremony, my typical pay rate hovers around $200 for a 10-to-12-hour day. Word of mouth, old connections, or Facebook groups are often my sources for finding work. It’s millennials and Gen Z freelancers like me who power the entire awards show ecosystem. The 2021 E! News Golden Globes red carpet was no exception; I, Antonieta Sanchez, barely had a moment to catch my breath throughout the event. It’s not just a few producers making these events happen – it takes an entire week of round-the-clock work from people like me.

During a press conference while promoting his movie Wanted, Salman Khan experienced a memorable moment. In a video posted by Movie Talkies, an interviewer inquired, “How many good looks do you have?” Instead of reacting negatively or dismissing the question, Salman made it a humorous exchange with a swift comeback. He smirked and said, “As many as you think I am. But what do you think? Perhaps I am that person too.” This response caused everyone to erupt in laughter, transforming an uncomfortable situation into playful banter.

Initially, Scottie Pippen dismissed rumors of being angry about the documentary, but later confessed to telling Michael Jordan (the one with the production company) that he wasn’t completely satisfied. Since then, they haven’t exchanged words. This happened in 2020 and by late 2021, Pippen shared more straightforward opinions on the documentary in his memoir, Unguarded. He argued that the production excessively praised Jordan while neglecting other players’ contributions. Additionally, he stated that the production portrayed him as self-centered.

It’s believed that the executive producer, Steven Spielberg, was the one who suggested the continuation of the movie “Twister.” However, when promoting the project, this was the story that was shared. About a year later, director Lee Isaac Chung clarified this situation, revealing that it wasn’t actually Spielberg who drove the decision for that particular cut.
