The Golden Globes, Hollywood’s most chaotic awards, have returned

These days, the chaos is way more than the open bar.

Here’s something you probably didn’t know: The Golden Globes are this week.

Wait, the Golden Globes are back?

They sure are. The Golden Globes will air on NBC and stream on Peacock, beginning at 8 pm ET on Tuesday, January 10, live from the Beverly Hilton. There’s a pre-show at 6:30 pm ET if you want to hear stars and hosts make awkward conversation on the red carpet.It’s been a weird few years for the Golden Globes. In 2021, the show was bicoastal; it aired simultaneously in New York and Los Angeles, was hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, and felt like it made a solid case for its own irrelevance. In 2022, there were awards, but they weren’t televised.

Why? Was there a controversy or something?

More than one!

It’s a long, complicated story, but to put it briefly, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) — the organization of around 90 US-based journalists who cover the business for non-US outlets — found itself under a cloud of scandals following a 2021 LA Times investigation. Here are some of the issues the Times raised:

• The HFPA’s dirty little (very open) secret was that members were richly wined and dined and showered with lavish gifts by studios hoping their shows and movies would garner nominations. In the story, some of the details came to vivid life. For instance, the Paramount Network, which produces Emily in Paris for Netflix, brought 30 HFPA members to Paris for two nights at a $1,400-per-night hotel. And indeed, the show landed two Golden Globe nominations.
• The organization was revealed to have created a system of kickbacks and internal payments for members. Members serving on various committees, with duties involving watching foreign films or working with archives, were paid, in some cases several thousand dollars a month.
• According to the story, there was a lot of unprofessional behavior going on in the group: “Those who have interacted with the organization describe members falling asleep during screeners, hurling insults at one another during news conferences, and frequently engaging in personal feuds.”
• The group had no Black members at all.

All of this threatens the integrity of the awards, though in truth the Globes have long been considered kind of a wink-wink award in the industry, at least for a group made up, ostensibly, of journalists. Their bizarre nominations and unpredictable awards show, fueled by an open bar, do introduce an element of zany fun into the otherwise fairly predictable awards season. And if it’s all sort of back-room dealing, eh, who cares?

Well, some people care because they care about awards, which can be a genuine boost to winners’ careers. Lack of diversity in a voting body leads to lopsided winners, for instance. Kickbacks and salaries tilt members’ votes

But there’s also some much darker bad behavior that HFPA members have been accused of — most prominently, former eight-term president Philip Berk.

In 2014, Berk released a memoir entitled With Signs and Wonders: My Journey from Darkest Africa to the Bright Lights of Hollywood. (Berk is from South Africa.) At the time, HFPA members felt he unfairly blindsided them with the book and took too much credit himself for the success of the Globes. After a lot of pressure, he was forced to take a six-month leave of absence from the group.

Then in 2018, actor Brendan Fraser accused Berk of sexually assaulting him in 2003. Berk denied the story and reportedly offered a private, half-hearted apology. Meanwhile, the HFPA launched an internal investigation and decided the incident was meant as a joke; the organization declined to share the investigator’s report with Fraser, but asked him to sign on to a joint statement. Fraser refused.Fraser is nominated for a Globe this year, for his performance in Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale. But long before the nominations were announced, he made it clear that he won’t be attending the ceremony.

Berk remained a voter in good standing with the organization until April 20, 2021. The organization, under a cloud of controversy after the LA Times investigation found a severe lack of racial diversity in the group, expelled Berk following an email he sent to members in which he called Black Lives Matter a “racist hate movement.” NBC, the network that pays millions of dollars to the group for the rights to air the show, issued a statement declaring that Berk should be expelled. “Swift action on this front is an essential element for NBC to move forward with the HFPA and the Golden Globes,” the statement read. Berk was expelled that day.

So the controversies associated with the Golden Globes and the HFPA have been many and varied, and if you don’t follow entertainment industry news closely, they’ve been pretty confusing, too.

Has the group made changes?

Yes. About a week after the 2021 ceremony, on March 6, the HFPA released a mea culpa statement in which they made a number of promises. They’d broaden the membership and increase its diversity, make their voting methods more transparent, and examine potential ethical violations — all within the next 60 days. Meanwhile, more than 100 publicity agencies circulated a leytter denying the HFPA access to clients if they failed to make their reforms.

On May 3, 2021, nearly 60 days after the promise, the HFPA announced its intentions to increase its membership, specifically recruiting from underrepresented groups. It seems this wasn’t showing enough movement for many. On May 7, Netflix announced it would boycott the Golden Globes; several A-list celebrities, as well as Amazon Studios, soon followed, and Tom Cruise returned his three Golden Globes. By May 10, NBC had announced that they wouldn’t air the ceremony in 2022, saying that “a change of this magnitude takes time and work” and that the HFPA “needs time to do it right.” NBC suggested that if the reforms were sufficiently implemented, the Globes would return to TV in 2023.

Now it’s 2023, and they’re back. Hollywood may still be skittish about the HFPA and the Golden Globes, but according to news reports, they’re ready to party. With the help of consultants, the HFPA has threaded a tricky needle: While they modestly increased membership by adding 21 US-based members, they also invited 103 additional non-member voters to select the awards.

The HFPA has said that the new voters are far more racially diverse than in the past: 22.3 percent of them are Latinx, 13.6 percent are Black, 11.7 percent are Asian, 10.7 percent are Middle Eastern, and 41.7 percent are white, with 58.3 percent self-identifying as “ethnically diverse.” The voting body now totals 200, with 52 percent female voters and 51.5 percent who are “racially and ethnically diverse.” Its geographic range was also broadened; most are still from Europe (43.5 percent), but the number of voters from other regions has increased: Latin America (18.5 percent), Asia (17 percent), the Middle East (9 percent), and Africa (7 percent).

The organization instituted a no-gifts policy in July 2021 and launched a hotline allowing people to report incidents, complaints, and allegations. Some members still receive a salary from the organization, which HFPA president Helen Hoehne described to Deadline as a “stipend,” for performing certain duties, such as serving on committees.

Insiders seem to have a diverse set of opinions about the validity of the Globes. After all, such a large cloud of suspicion can’t just go away overnight. Will winning a Globe mean the same as it has in the past, now that the average person may have a negative opinion? Does it even matter? In the smoke-and-mirrors world of Hollywood awards, it may not. Time will tell.

What’s the big deal about the Golden Globes anyway?

That’s the thing: There’s nothing inherently interesting about the Golden Globes, as opposed to the myriad other awards given out in the runup to the Oscars. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association isn’t more eminent than any other critics body. Why has the average casual viewer heard of the Golden Globes but not, say, the Independent Spirit Awards or the Critics Choice Awards? Or the awards given out by various regional critics? Why are we more interested in the Golden Globes than the Screen Actors Guild or Directors Guild?

As befits our times, the answer is simple: The Golden Globes are famous for being famous, and we watch them because they’re on TV. If you’ve heard of them and they’re touted as being important, then they take on importance.

They’re also positioned perfectly to give at least the illusion of “predicting” the results of the Oscars, though reality is a little different. There’s an idea that Academy voters — the 10,000-person industry group that gives out the Oscars — are watching the Golden Globes as they decide who to put on their nominations ballot. Nominations for the Oscars open on January 12, two days after this year’s ceremony. So you can see why the pressure is on.

In the end, though, if you want to predict the Oscar results, the Golden Globes are an imperfect measure. For the most part, it’s the spectacle that keeps people coming back. (Both Renee Zellweger and Christine Lahti were in the bathroom when they won their awards and had to come rushing back, and it was very funny.)What can we expect for this year’s show?

Probably some weird vibes, jokes about the last few years, and — if Brendan Fraser wins in his category — some really awkward moments.

The comedian Jerrod Carmichael is hosting the show, and the usual bevy of stars are showing up to present the individual awards. Reportedly, the star attendees, nominees and otherwise, are showing up in full force. And they’ll all be there in person; unlike previous years, there will not be any virtual attendees.

Ryan Murphy will receive the Carol Burnett Award for outstanding contributions to television, and Eddie Murphy will receive the Cecil B. DeMille award, which honors the same thing but for film. There will still be an open bar (as far as we know), but I suspect everyone will be on their best behavior, since this feels a little like a trial year to see if the Globes will endure. (In other words, it’s unlikely that we’ll see anything like The Slap.)

Okay, but why is it on a Tuesday?

Why not? There are probably a few reasons — advertisers might be one of them — but the major likely one is that NBC has the rights to Sunday Night Football this season. That’s show business!

Rooney Mara Says She Became More Selective About Roles After 'Elm Street' Reboot: 'Not a Good Experience

I kind of got to this place, that I still live in, that I don’t want to act unless I’m doing stuff that I feel like I have to do," the actress said Rooney Mara is selective about her projects partly due to an experience she had early on in her acting career.

Speaking with fiancé Joaquin Phoenix's sister Rain Phoenix for the latter's LaunchLeft podcast last week, the 37-year-old actress revealed she had "not a great experience" doing 2010's Nightmare on Elm Street remake, in which she played protagonist/final girl Nancy Holbrook.

"A few years before [The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo], I'd done a Nightmare on Elm Street remake, which was not a great experience, making it," said Mara. "I have to be careful with what I say and how I talk about it, but it wasn't the best experience, making it."

"And I kind of got to this place, that I still live in, of I don't want to act unless I'm doing stuff that I feel like I have to do," the actress added.

After she made the horror flick — a reboot of Wes Craven's 1984 film of the same name — Mara said she "kind of decided, 'Okay, well, I'm just not going to act anymore unless it's something that I feel that way about.' "

Soon, she got an audition for The Social Network, for "a small part, but it was an amazing scene."

"And then I didn't work again from that until, I think, Dragon Tattoo," Mara said.

Mara made her film debut in another horror film, 2005's Urban Legends: Bloody Mary, and would go on to appear in mostly drama films, from Her (also starring Joaquin, 48) to Carol (2015) and Nightmare Alley (2021).

She has been nominated for Oscars twice: for her performances in both The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) and Carol. She most recently appeared in Women Talking.

In October, FilmNation announced that Mara and Joaquin, who made their red-carpet debut as a couple at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, will star in lead roles in director Pawel Pawlikowski's next movie. The movie currently uses the working title The Island, according to The Hollywood reporter and Variety.

The film is described as a thriller inspired by real events and follows a couple in the 1930s who aim to live on a remote island until they grow into "a tabloid newspaper sensation," which leads to the arrival of a "a self-styled countess" who plots to build a hotel on the island, according to the outlets.

"Psychological warfare ensues between the countess and the American couple as sexual infidelity, betrayal and eventually murder takes place among the island interlopers," reads a synopsis for the film, per THR.

"Pawel Pawlikowski is one of the world's greatest filmmakers working today," FilmNation CEO Glen Basner told THR. "Pawel bringing this story of jealousy, betrayal and murder in a Garden of Eden is exactly what we all need to drive audiences back to the cinema."

Noma, Rated the World’s Best Restaurant, Is Closing Its Doors

The Copenhagen chef René Redzepi says fine dining at the highest level, with its grueling hours and intense workplace culture, has hit a breaking point: “It’s unsustainable.”

Since opening two decades ago, Noma — the Copenhagen restaurant currently serving grilled reindeer heart on a bed of fresh pine, and saffron ice cream in a beeswax bowl — has transformed fine dining. A new global class of gastro tourists schedules first-class flights and entire vacations around the privilege of paying at least $500 per person for its multicourse tasting menu.

Noma has repeatedly topped lists of the world’s best restaurants, and its creator, René Redzepi, has been hailed as his era’s most brilliant and influential chef.

Nevertheless, Mr. Redzepi told The New York Times, the restaurant will close for regular service at the end of 2024.

Noma will become a full-time food laboratory, developing new dishes and products for its e-commerce operation, Noma Projects, and the dining rooms will be open only for periodic pop-ups. His role will become something closer to chief creative officer than chef.

This move is likely to send shock waves through the culinary world. To put it in soccer terms: Imagine that Manchester United decided to close Old Trafford stadium to fans, though the team would continue to play.

The decision comes as Noma and many other elite restaurants are facing scrutiny of their treatment of the workers, many of them paid poorly or not at all, who produce and serve these exquisite dishes. The style of fine dining that Noma helped create and promote around the globe — wildly innovative, labor-intensive and vastly expensive — may be undergoing a sustainability crisis.

Mr. Redzepi, who has long acknowledged that grueling hours are required to produce the restaurant’s cuisine, said that the math of compensating nearly 100 employees fairly, while maintaining high standards, at prices that the market will bear, is not workable.

We have to completely rethink the industry,” he said. “This is simply too hard, and we have to work in a different way.”

The chef David Kinch, who last week closed his three-Michelin-starred restaurant Manresa, in Los Gatos, Calif., said, “the last 30 years were a gilded age,” when ambitious restaurants multiplied and became less formal and more exciting. His casual restaurants will remain open, but he said fine dining was no longer something he wanted to do himself, or to inflict on his staff, calling the work “backbreaking.”

Fine dining is at a crossroads, and there have to be huge changes,” he said. “The whole industry realizes that, but they do not know how it’s going to come out.”

The Finnish chef Kim Mikkola, who worked at Noma for four years, said that fine dining, like diamonds, ballet and other elite pursuits, often has abuse built into it.

“Everything luxetarian is built on somebody’s back; somebody has to pay,” he said.

Mr. Mikkola, who is building a chain of sustainable, equitably run fried-chicken sandwich shops, KotKot, said he values the artistry he learned at Noma. “Do we want to tell everyone not to have great experiences, to just eat potatoes?” he said. “Absolutely not. That’s the dilemma.”

Creativity and Its Costs

As the human cost of the industry comes under scrutiny, Mr. Redzepi’s headaches have multiplied, with media reporting and online activism critical of Noma’s treatment of foreign workers and reliance on unpaid interns. In October, Noma began paying its interns, adding at least $50,000 to its monthly labor costs.

In the past two years, Mr. Redzepi and his staff also scaled their last remaining mountaintop, receiving a third Michelin star, and for a record-breaking fifth time, Noma topped the influential World’s 50 Best Restaurants list, making it ineligible for future wins.

Mr. Redzepi denied that any of those factors prompted the decision to close Noma’s doors. Instead, he said, operating at the high level that has earned Noma international adulation had long felt untenable. But until the Covid pandemic kept him at home, he said, he had never stopped working long enough to question whether the whole business model might be broken.

For the last decade, Mr. Redzepi, 45, has been on a rather public spiritual journey, embracing therapy, coaching and walking meditation in order to exorcise the famously rageful, mercurial and workaholic young chef he was when he opened Noma in 2003. He said that process brought him to this breaking point.

It’s unsustainable,” he said of the modern fine-dining model that he helped create. “Financially and emotionally, as an employer and as a human being, it just doesn’t work.”

A newly empowered generation of workers has begun pushing back against that model, often using social media to call out employers. The Willows Inn, in Washington State, run by the Noma-trained chef Blaine Wetzel, closed in November, after a 2021 Times report on systemic abuse and harassment; top destinations like Blue Hill at Stone Barns and Eleven Madison Park have faced media investigations into working conditions. Recent films and TV series like “The Menu,” “Boiling Point” and “The Bear” have brought the image of armies of harried young chefs, silently wielding tweezers in service to a chef-auteur, into popular culture.

In a 2015 essay, Mr. Redzepi admitted to bullying his staff verbally and physically, and has often acknowledged that his efforts to be a calmer, kinder leader have not been fully successful.

“In an ideal restaurant, employees could work four days a week, feel empowered and safe and creative,” Mr. Redzepi said. “The problem is how to pay them enough to afford children, a car and a house in the suburbs.”

Mr. Redzepi’s reputation was built on his challenges to fine-dining tradition, most famously discarding imported delicacies like French foie gras and Italian truffles in favor of local and foraged ingredients like spruce tips, two-year-old carrots and duck brains. The cooking style became known as New Nordic, and swept all of Scandinavia into a new status as an elite culinary destination.

Scores of chefs have moved to Denmark to study Mr. Redzepi’s work, then spread his style to other countries; having a Noma pedigree opens doors and investors’ wallets all over the world, several alumni said. Frequent keynote speeches at food summits have elevated Mr. Redzepi to the role of global visionary. He has been knighted by the queen of Denmark, and published a book on leadership with the Nelson Mandela Foundation.

But the kitchen culture at Noma did not always live up to the ideals it projected. In interviews, dozens of people who worked at Noma between 2008 and 2021 said that 16-hour workdays have long been routine, even for unpaid workers.

A Noma spokeswoman replied, “While our industry has been characterized by long working hours, this is something we at Noma constantly work to improve.”

An Intern’s Life

Noma’s internship program has also served as a way for Noma to shore up its labor force, supplying 20 to 30 full-time workers (“stagiaires” is the traditional French term) who do much of the painstaking labor — hand-peeling walnuts and separating lavender leaves from stems — that defines Noma’s food and aesthetic.

Until last October, the program provided only a work visa. However, being able to say, “I staged at Noma” is a priceless culinary credential. For that reason alone, most of the alumni interviewed said that an internship at Noma is worth the expense, the exhaustion and the stress.

Namrata Hegde, 26, had just graduated from culinary school in Hyderabad, India, when she was chosen as an intern in 2017. Knowing nothing about Noma except that many called it the best restaurant in the world, she flew to Copenhagen to live and work at her own expense for three months.

For most of that time, Ms. Hegde said, her sole job was to produce fruit-leather beetles, starting with a thick jam of black fruit and silicone stencils with insect parts carved out. Another intern taught her how to spread the jam evenly, monitor the drying process, then use tweezers to assemble the head, thorax, abdomen and wings. Ms. Hegde repeated the process until she had 120 perfect specimens; each diner was served a single beetle in a wooden box.

She said the experience taught her to be quick, quiet and organized, but little about cooking. “I didn’t expect that I would use my knife only a couple of times a day,” she said, “or that I would be told I didn’t need my tasting spoon because there was nothing to taste.”

Ms. Hegde said she was required to work in silence by the junior chefs she assisted (Mr. Redzepi was rarely in the kitchen where she worked), and was specifically forbidden to laugh.

“I thought an internship was about me learning, as well about contributing to Noma’s success,” she said. “I don’t believe that kind of toxic work environment is necessary.”

The Noma spokeswoman said that all restaurant workers are expected to perform repetitive tasks, and that Ms. Hegde’s account “does not reflect our workplace or the experience we wish for our interns or anyone on our team.”

The fact that exploitation and abuse in kitchens persist, even in protective societies like Denmark’s, has recently been highlighted by the Danish activist Lisa Lind Dunbar, an industry veteran in Copenhagen (who has not worked at Noma).

She and a dozen other people said a code of loyalty among Noma alumni, including chefs at many of Copenhagen’s top restaurants, makes it impossible for workers at those restaurants to speak out about working conditions, sexual harassment and other problems.

“It’s a Mafia mentality, and he is the don,” she said of Mr. Redzepi. “No one defies him publicly or privately.”

The Noma spokeswoman responded, “That is not something we recognize as accurate.” She also said that he has long acknowledged these systemic problems, and worked to change them.

But Ms. Dunbar said Mr. Redzepi had two decades to do that. “He hasn’t tried enough,” she said.

Ending the ‘Production Line’

So what will become of the Noma brand?

Mr. Redzepi said it has not made him wealthy, because his commitment to high-quality ingredients and flawless execution is so costly. He declined to provide specifics, but according to public records, he is a majority owner of Noma, and part owner of multiple popular ventures run by Noma alumni.

Opening satellite restaurants around the world, as many chefs have done to increase revenue, would not solve the problem, he said. “I have been offered countless blank checks in Qatar. It doesn’t entice me.”

Mr. Redzepi, who has been cooking professionally since age 15, said he had long wanted out of the “production line” aspect of restaurant cooking. He said advance commitments and building Noma Projects — including a new production facility, with 60 to 70 full-time employees — are the reason the change will not take effect for nearly two years.

“I hope we can prove to the world that you can grow old and be creative and have fun in the industry,” he said. “Instead of hard, grueling, low-paid work under poor management conditions that wears people out.”

Highlights from Prince Harry's interview with 60 Minutes

Prince Harry spoke on American television for the first time about his upcoming memoir, "Spare," in a 60 Minutes Interview with Anderson Cooper. These were some of the revelations from their chat.

Harry was 12 when his mother, Princess Diana, was killed in a car crash in Paris. It was August 1997, and Harry was at Balmoral Castle in Scotland with other members of the royal family. In his book, Harry described the moment his father, Prince Charles, woke him up to tell him what had happened.

In the book you write, 'He says, "They tried, darling boy. I'm afraid she didn't make it." These phrases remain in my mind like darts on a board,' you say," Cooper said. "Did you cry?"

"No. No. Never shed a single tear at that point," Harry said. "I was in shock, you know? Twelve years old. Sort of— 7, 7:30 in the morning, early. Your father comes in, sits on your bed, puts his hand on your knee and tells you, 'There's been an accident.' I couldn't believe."

"You write in the book," Cooper said, "'Pa didn't hug me. He wasn't great at showing emotions under normal circumstances. But his hand did fall once more on my knee and he said, 'It's going to be OK.' But after that, nothing was OK for a long time.'"

"No, nothing, nothing was OK," Harry said.

Harry writes in "Spare" about how he responded in the days and years following the death of his mother, Princess Diana, in 1997. He told  Cooper about how he didn't believe Diana was dead.

"For a long time, I just refused to accept that she was— she was gone," Harry said. "Part of, you know, she would never do this to us, but also part of, maybe this is all part of a plan."You really believed," Cooper asked, "that maybe she had just decided to disappear for a time?"

"For a time, and then that she would call us and that we would go and join her, yeah," said Harry, who was 12 when his mother died.Harry says he sought out help from a therapist seven years ago and reveals he's also tried more experimental treatments to try to cope with grief he still feels from his mother's death. 

" write in the book about psychedelics," Cooper said. "Ayahuasca, psilocybin, mushrooms. They were actually important to you."

"I would never recommend people to do this recreationally," Harry said. "But doing it with the right people, if you are suffering from a huge amount of loss, grief or trauma, then these things have a way of working as a medicine."

"They showed you something," Cooper asked. "What did they show you?"

"For me, they cleared the windscreen, the windshield, the misery of loss," Harry said. "They cleared away this idea that I had in my head that— that my mother— that I needed to cry to prove to my mother that I missed her. When in fact, all she wanted was for me to be happy."

Prince Harry was in London last September for a charity event when the palace announced that Queen Elizabeth II was under medical supervision at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.

"I asked my brother— I said, 'What are your plans? How are you and Kate getting up there?' And then, a couple of hours later, you know, all of the family members that live within the Windsor and Ascot area were jumping on a plane together," Harry said. "A plane with 12, 14, maybe 16 seats."

You were not invited on that plane?" Cooper asked.

"I was not invited," Harry said.

By the time Harry got to Balmoral on his own, the queen was dead.

Harry writes that when he introduced Meghan Markle to his family in 2016, his father initially took a liking to her. But his brother, Prince William, was skeptical. 

Others in the family, Harry told Cooper, were also uneasy.Right from the beginning, before they even had a chance to get to know her," Harry said. "And the U.K. press jumped on that. And here we are."In his book, Prince Harry's portrayal of his stepmother, Camilla, now the Queen Consort, is perhaps the most critical. She married then-Prince Charles in 2005, though the two had been romantically involved on and off for decades. Princess Diana famously referred to Camilla the "third person" in her marriage, and Prince Harry has not forgotten it. 

She was portrayed by the tabloids as "the villain," Harry told Cooper. "She was the third person in their marriage. She needed to rehabilitate her image."

"You and your brother both directly asked your dad not to marry Camilla?" Cooper asked.

"Yes," Harry said. "We didn't think it was necessary. We thought that it was gonna cause more harm than good, and if he was now with his person, that— surely that's enough. Why go that far when you don't necessarily need to? We wanted him to be happy. And we saw how happy he was with her. So, at the time, it was, 'OK.'"

"It was a buildup of-- frustration, I think, on his part. It was at a time where he was being told certain things by people within his office," Harry said. "And at the same time, he was consuming a lot of the tabloid press, a lot of the stories. And he had a few issues, which were based not on reality. And I was defending my wife. And he was coming for my wife. She wasn't there at the time, but through the things that he was saying. I was defending myself. And we moved from one room into the kitchen. And his frustrations were growing, and growing, and growing. He was shouting at me. I was shouting back at him. It wasn't nice. It wasn't pleasant at all. And he snapped. And he pushed me to the floor."

"He knocked you over?" Cooper asked.

"He knocked me over. I landed on the dog bowl," Harry said. "I cut my back. I didn't know about it at the time. But, yeah, he-- he apologized afterwards. It was a pretty nasty experience."

Though Harry and William appeared inseparable to the outside world growing up, the two have lived separate lives since the death of their mother.

"Even when you were in the same school, in high school," Cooper said to Harry, "Your brother told you, 'Pretend we don't know each other.'"

"Yeah, and at the time it hurt. I couldn't make sense of it. I was like, 'What do you mean? We're now at the same school,'" Harry said. "Like, 'I haven't seen you for ages, now we get to hang out together.' He's like, 'No, no, no, when we're at school we don't know each other.' And I took that personally. But yes, you're absolutely right, you hit the nail on the head. Like, we had a very similar traumatic experience, and then we— we dealt with it two very different ways."

60 Minutes reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment. Palace representatives demanded that before considering commenting we provide them with our report prior to it airing, which is something 60 Minutes does not do.

The Titanic was a passenger ship that was famously known for its sinking on April 15, 1912, after colliding with an iceberg during its maiden voyage. The ship was believed to be unsinkable due to its innovative design and state-of-the-art technology, but the collision with the iceberg caused the ship to take on water and eventually sink. There were not enough lifeboats on board to accommodate all of the passengers, and as a result, over 1,500 people lost their lives in the disaster. The story of the Titanic has been the subject of numerous books, movies, and documentaries, and it continues to fascinate people to this day.

James Cameron Explains Embarrassing Oscar Acceptance Speech For Titanic

Award-winning director James Cameron explains what led to his embarrassing Oscar acceptance speech after winning Best Director for Titanic.

Titanic director James Cameron addresses what went wrong during his infamous Oscar acceptance speech. Cameron has enjoyed an impressive career and created many films that have had meaningful impacts on pop culture, starting with his breakout work writing and directing 1984's The Terminator. He continued to produce popular and well-regarded films at a steady pace, skyrocketing to even higher levels of fame with Titanic in 1997, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. The tragic romance garnered over $2 billion at the box office and had a massive influence on the media landscape.

With three movies in the top 10 highest-grossing films of all time, Cameron remains a highly respected filmmaker. He caught flack, though, early in his career for a regrettable line in his speech after winning the Academy Award for Best Director in 1998 for his work on Titanic. After a gracious speech thanking his cast, crew, and family, the director ended his comments by quoting his own film, exclaiming, "I'm the king of the world!", which left a bad taste in the mouths of many and was seen as a vainglorious choice. While speaking with Chris Wallace for a recent episode of Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace? (via CNN), Cameron explained his thought process at the time, stating that his emotions got the better of him, leading him to appear and sound overly arrogant while really he "was trying to express the joy and excitement" he was feeling. See Cameron's explanation, and a clip of the speech in question, belowYeah, maybe, you know, I mean, I took a lot of heat for the line, you know, and I think the egregious sin there was a one of what was perceived, as you know, arrogance or the conquering, you know, a sense of conquest, which was not what was in my head, I was trying to express the joy and excitement that I was feeling in terms of that movie, and the most joyful moment for the character for, you know, Leonardo DiCaprio, his character was when he, you know, was free and at the bow of the ship, and all that sort of thing.

"But what I learned is, you don’t quote your own movie, to the Academy, if you win. Because it’s cringe worthy. It makes the assumption that you didn’t win by a narrow margin, but that every single person sitting in the audience on that night at the Kodak Theatre, saw and loved Titanic, and we’ll never know how much we won by but it might not have been a landslide at all. So you know, there was definitely I took flack for all 25 years after that, but you know, you live and you learn, I think what was interpreted as kind of arrogance or a big F- you, I told you so, wasn't in my head at all, but you do have to be careful what you say in your acceptance speech, me and Sally Fields, we have a little self-help group together on this."

Despite Cameron's poor choice of words at the tail end of his acceptance speech, it's understandable that there was "a sense of conquest" in being the one who directed a landmark film like Titanic considering its massive impact on pop culture. The love story between Jack (DiCaprio) and Rose (Winslet) has earned many homages since the movie's release over two decades ago, as have many specific sequences from the movie, such as Jack painting Rose, the notorious car scene, and the necklace being thrown out to sea. Plus, viewers argue about whether Jack actually did have to die to this day, proving that Cameron's film left a lasting impression on audiences.

After Titanic, Cameron began to delve into his interest in deep sea exploration in earnest, forming Earthship Productions with his brother in 1998 in order to stream documentaries on the topic. In addition, he returned to his sci-fi roots with the short-lived series Dark Angel. The director made several documentaries, but did not come back to the director's chair to produce another mainstream film until the mid-2000s, when he got to work on Avatar, combining his interests in science and cutting-edge filming technology by creating a movie that would revolutionize the use of 3D and become the highest-grossing film of all time.After Avatar's release in 2009, Cameron made it clear that he wanted to pursue multiple sequels, which he began filming in 2017, filming both the second and third movies, as well as parts of the fourth, simultaneously. Avatar: The Way of Water finally hit theaters in December 2022 and has already landed a spot in the top 10 highest-grossing movies of all time, making the future of the Avatar franchise - and by extension, Cameron's future as a filmmaker - extremely bright. Though his Titanic speech wasn't received well, Cameron has since proved that when it comes to creating box office hits, he may very well be "king of the world."
