Chapter 733

At the end of November, the nominations for the Gotham Independent Film Awards were announced, and the Hollywood film awards season officially opened.

However, Murphy and "dark city" failed to win this award. The reason can be seen from the name of this award. Dark city is a standard mainstream commercial masterpiece, not an independent film. The objects of the Independent Film Awards of Gotham are basically independent films that have not been shown in the mainstream cinemas in North America, which is very different from the mainstream commercial films Clear.

Then, in December, all kinds of awards announced nominations. In the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award, New York Film Critics Association Award and Chicago Film Critics Association Award, "dark city" without exception won four important nominations: Best Director, best picture, best actor and best actress!

Then, the golden globe of American film and television also announced the nomination list. Like the Film Critics Association Award, "dark city" once again became the big winner in the nomination list, winning a series of awards such as best director, best feature film, best actor and actress.

With the release of nominations for many awards, Murphy can also see which competitors are the strongest in this award season - "twelve years in slavery", "the Great Gatsby", "gravity", "blue Jasmine" and "Dallas buyers club".

The award season has also entered the hottest stage of publicity and public relations.

Like other industries, the film industry also pays attention to sorting out and summarizing the achievements of a year. The award season is the product of this sort of sorting out and summarizing, which is Hollywood's "annual summary".

To be a big winner at the Oscars, "dark city" has to beat them.

As soon as the nomination list for the Golden Globe Award was announced, the CAA representing Murphy negotiated a series of conditions with the Los Angeles City Hall, and then Murphy signed a formal agreement with them. This article details the contribution of Leonardo DiCaprio in environmental protection.

"On July 14, 2011, the foundation under the name of Leonardo DiCaprio announced that it would donate about US $9 million to several wildlife conservation and environmental protection groups. He said in a statement:" the earth is being destroyed at a pace that we can neither afford nor ignore. We have the responsibility to create a new future. We should not threaten the earth's living environment. " Since February last year, Leonardo has donated more than US $12 million. In the statement, he also said: "I am very honored to support these organizations that strive to solve the most difficult challenges facing mankind."

"On May 13, 2013, Leonardo held a charity auction at Christie's auction house in New York to raise money for the environment and wildlife protection. The 33 artworks sold raised a total of $38.8 million. In November, Leonardo turned his birthday party into a charity party, and the proceeds were donated to his environmental protection fund. The auction included a batch of precious champagne, and a total of $3 million was raised on the spot. "

"In May 2007, the Cannes Film Festival released Leonardo's environmental documentary" the 11th hour ", which was produced and interpreted by Leonardo. The film studies the global environmental situation and discusses solutions to the earth's problems. This documentary recounts the impact of human activities on global warming and highlights how fragile our planet is after a series of recent natural disasters. In the film, 12 experts discuss a series of issues, such as whether human society will be destroyed if global warming continues. "

Seeing all the time listed in the report, even Murphy believed that Leonardo DiCaprio was really an environmentalist.

Unfortunately, as a Hollywood insider, he knows very well that, like the so-called United Nations title, it is just a way to provide his own style.

To put it simply, it's no different from the red carpet. It's all a show.

As for the real money donated, it's all from fund-raising. It doesn't cost the stars a few dollars. Why not?

"In September 2012, Leonardo DiCaprio, as an active member of Hollywood who pays attention to climate change, participated in the climate summit on the morning of the 23rd local time with a large number of diplomats, national leaders, scientists and other climate experts from all over the world, and made a personal speech that was thought-provoking, earnestly calling on everyone to act together to organize climate deterioration. In his speech, Leonardo said: "now I stand before you not as an expert, but as a concerned citizen, as one of the 400000 people walking on the streets of New York and other people who want to solve the climate change crisis."

Seeing this, Murphy put down the Hollywood Reporter. Now that the Oscar has been more and more seriously affected by the outside world, Leonardo DiCaprio is playing such an environmental friendly card outside the film. It's really a very clever means. Maybe he can change the fate of the runners.

Murphy didn't want to see James Franco win the prize, either for the sake of James Franco and the city of darkness, or for the original grudge.

"Don't go home yet." He said to the driver, "to century city."
