The Studio

So if you win, you'll thank me?

No, see... ...I'm not personally nominated, so I don't get to go on stage.

Studio executives can't be personally nominated.

A movie I green-lit is nominated.

Wait, you don't get to give a speech?

- You don't win a trophy? - No. No.

Matty, I told a whole roomful of people here you're gonna win a Golden Globe.

The Leventhals drove from Syosset to watch with me.

Well, you tell the Leventhals that if the movie Zoë Kravitz directed

wins best musical or comedy, like it's supposed to,

she will thank me in her speech in front of millions of people.

Everybody will hear her say my name.

Matthew, if it's Zoë's movie,

why did you tell me your movie was nominated?

No, see, I essentially did make the movie. I'm a part of the filmmaking team.

You know, it wouldn't have happened without me. But the whole thing is,

nobody knows I had anything to do with it

until Zoë Kravitz thanks me in her acceptance speech.

Well, she had better thank you with all you've sacrificed for this job.

- No wife, no kids. - By choice, Mom.

Just run up on stage with the rest of them?

Give your mother a little wave, huh?

- Okay, I gotta go. I love you. Bye! - Bye, honey.

Hey, Matt.

- Hey. - Hey, Matt.

Hey, how's it going?

Charli, look this way, please.

Charli, looking great.

Charli. Charli D'Amelio, over here. Look this way.

- Excuse me, you're in my shot. - Oh, shit.

Hi, guys! We are at the Golden Globes. And look who's behind me. Zoë Kravitz.

- And she looks so good. I'm obsessed... - I'm here with Zoë Kravitz.

- Zoë, this is so exciting! - Hey. How's it going?

How does it feel to be nominated for best comedy or musical?

I am absolutely thrilled that the Globes have recognized our film Open .

And at the same time, it feels a little weird to be

pitted in competition against other artists, you know?

Like there can really be a winner. Because I feel like anytime anyone

in this industry gets to do something they really care about,

you know, that's-that's the real win. So...

- That's winning, for sure. -

Amazing to see you. And we're here at the Globes, who are you excited to meet?

- Matty! - Patty! Hey! Hey.

- Matty, it's all happening. - I know. Isn't this exciting?

- It's so cool. - No, I mean it's really happening.

- I know, it's really exciting. Oh, yeah. - I've always loved the Globes but...

You know, especially when I was boozing. But being here as a nominee...

- Yeah. Yeah. - ...it's on a whole other level.

- You win, we all win, you know? - Yeah.

Well, yeah, except as a producer I can actually win.

- Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, I can go up on stage,

take home a statue and become Hollywood immortal.

And my legacy would be forever enshrined.

Yeah, yeah. It'll be really cool.

Who are all these people? I don't recognize any of them.

They're influencers. Most of them don't even go inside.

They just make their red carpet TikToks and leave.

- - Jesus.

- What the fuck is happening to this town? -

I remember when the red carpet

for the Golden Globes actually stood for something.

Well, yeah, but if you don't get these phone-toting fetuses

to focus on something longer than 15 seconds,

all of this is going the way of DEI departments.

- Oh, that'd be a shame. - Hi!

Oh! We Globezing.

We Globezing, yo!

- What's up? Good to see you, man. -

- Ah, you look beautiful. Mwah! - Look at you. You!

- I'm at table 172. Where are you guys? - Four.

- Four? - Yeah.

How am I 168 tables away from you? Oh, my God, am I with TV people? Ugh.

- Yeesh. Sorry about that. - Poor thing.

- Hey, Patty. - Oh! Oh, it's Stallone. Hey!

I have to talk to him. I don't want to, but he still has my horse.

- Sly, where's my Buttercup? - Holy shit! Watch this.

Adam motherfucking Scott!

- Sal? Holy shit, man. How you doing? -

- It's been so fucking long! - I know.

- Hey, what's up, Matt? - What's up, dude?

Listen, like, 20 years ago, when I first got out here,

I crashed on Sal's couch for, like, six months.

- I didn't know that. - Yes!

Fucking guy's socks smelled like a Coachella port-a-potty.

- True. - Now his dick does.

Very true.

- Hey, what table are you at? - Uh, three.

- Three? Three? - Yeah.

- Matt Remick. - Mitch! Good to see you.

- Zoë loved making Open at Continental. - Oh, we loved having her.

- She had such a blast. - Yeah, yeah. That's good.

- Then why don't you-- - Can we make Blackwing there?

Yeah. Tell her to close the fucking deal already.

- Then stop fucking us on the front pay. - I'm not fucking you on anything, dude.

This will pay her more money than she's ever made for any movie

in her whole career, okay?

Zoë as a vampire assassin

in a black bodysuit holding a red Glock dipped in holy water is cash money, bitch.

Hey, why you gotta Jew me like this?

Look, I know we're both Jewish. I don't love the Jew jokes.

- Jew love it. - I don't...

No, seriously, let's close this fucker, man.

She's on the fence. If you just sweeten it a little bit.

Please take your seats. The show is about to begin.

Best and final offer. Take it or leave it, all right?

- I know you're bluffing. - Okay. Yeah.

- You're bluffing, right? - Well, get back to me, okay?

Hey! Look at you!

Thank you so much. Don't mind if I do.

Thank you. This is such an incredible honor.

Um, it's not an Oscar, but it's still pretty cool.

Uh, when we were pitching Deafening Silence,

our reps told us no one is buying limited series.

But now, we have Golden Globes and they're fired.

Thank you so, so much to our incredible cast and crew.

And, of course, I want to say thank you to the person without whom

I couldn't have done any of this.

My rock, my everything, my partner through it all,

the love of my life: Ted Sarandos.

- - Thank you. I love you.

Ted, you're the best studio head ever.

Uh, yes, we are married, but, uh, we're in an open relationship.

But just with Ted.

Uh, let's just say he didn't get rid of all backend.

But all disgusting jokes about my boss aside,

thank you so much to you, Ted, and to everyone at Netflix

for letting us make this incredibly important show. Thank you!

Give it up for them. Such an important show.

And everyone here makes such important work.

I love it, and it's why I get nervous, you know? It's such a tense time.

I hope we get to keep doing it. And I don't know about you guys,

but I'm starting to feel like I have to go to the movies.

Like, if I don't buy a ticket, the whole thing's gonna fall apart.

Like, every trailer feels like a Kickstarter.

Especially the expensive movies, like-like Avatar .

That's like a GoFundMe for all of Hollywood.

If Avatar doesn't work, none of us will ever work again.

I-I don't care if you don't like it. It cost $300 million. They need us.

And don't buy a ticket 'cause you love Avatar 3 ,

buy one 'cause you fucking love movies!

- - All right, we'll be right back.

That was great. He's so funny.

It's an honor to be at the table with you guys. And, Zoë, this...

It's so well-deserved, you know?

- Yeah. - Oh, yeah, it's fun.

It's so weird to judge art, though.

Don't you think? The whole thing's so silly.

- Yeah, it's true. Yeah. - What a thought! Wow.

Yeah, I just try to have a good time with these things, you know?

- Mm-hmm. - And just, uh, be in the moment.

But, uh, I have a good feeling about tonight.

You have salad? They're not feeding us back there. It's fucking crazy.

- Sal! Dude! We did it, Joe! - We did it, Joe! Mwah! Oh, my God.

- I'm having a crouton. - Ooh! Should we take a team photo?

Oh, yes! Yes! Mmm, mmm. Come here.

Patty, get over here, you fucking icon.

- Yeah. Come here, boss. - Oh, I will, ZoZo.

- That's the boss lady right here. - All right.

- Actually, Matt... - Yeah. Where do you want me?

Um, maybe just there so you're not too close.

- 'Cause it's... Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. - Oh. Yeah, take the photo. Oh... Yeah.

Obviously. Of course.

- Uh, all right. Everyone get in there. - Thank you.

- One, two, three... Team Open ! - Team Open !

Yeah.

Let's get one with Matt holding the camera kinda vertical,

- 'cause it's better for social. - Oh. Yeah, okay.

- Whoo! Love you! - Team Open !

- I love you guys! - There you go.

- Let's take a look. - It's great. Really good.

- Thank you. - Ooh!

Come on.

Hi, Mom.

Is JLaw there? Because, if so, maybe you could--

Jennifer Lawrence is here, and I will not tell her

to get a shoulder-length haircut. Okay?

I'll talk to you soon. I love you. Goodbye.

- Hey, Matt. You okay? - Uh, yeah, I'm great.

You sure?

Is it just me, or does Zoë Kravitz not like me very much?

I knew it. Grow up, Matty.

Mitch Weitz told me she liked you enough to bring you Blackwing .

Yeah. I mean... ...maybe I'm blowing it out of proportion in my head.

It just seems like she doesn't, like, consider me a part of the filmmaking team.

And now I'm worried that if she wins, she's not gonna thank me in her speech,

but maybe that doesn't even matter. Right?

Oh, no, that's everything.

- Everything? - It...

It's the most unsatisfying thing about being an executive.

- Your name is nowhere on the film. Right? - Exactly! Yes, yes!

And without a thank-you, you basically do not exist.

- Exactly! Yes! - Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, when I wasn't thanked, I would sob the entire limo ride home.

But now, I'm a nominee.

Must be one of the perks of getting canned.

Okay. Look, if you guys win tonight, will you thank me in your speech?

Oh, Matty, I would, of course. But, no, we all agreed that

Zoë would be the one to speak.

Will you ask Zoë to thank me in her speech?

Yeah, I... You're not kidding.
