Chapter 739

It's another year of awards season, another year of Golden Globe Awards, another year of Oscars. It seems that just in the blink of an eye, the sleeping giant will wake up again and attract attention from all over the world.

For the Hollywood Foreign Journalists Association, authority is obviously not the focus they need to pay attention to, entertainment is to the death. In order to create a hot spot, attract attention, and have a star effect, they can make "compromises and concessions". For example, they can nominate terrible works like "lethal companion travel"; For another example, award the best film of musical comedy to the wonderful popcorn like "hangover"; For example, there are six nominations for an award, or there are double yolks running all over the place.

This year is no exception. The same formula, the same taste.

Among the best movies in the plot category, six of them have won the nominations, "descendants", "war horse", "help", "the president kills the game", "penalty becomes gold" and "Hugo".

In addition to the "help" of relying on the overall comprehensive strength to fight a way of life, behind each work there is a top star sitting and joining: the "descendants" of George Clooney and Alexander Payne, the "war horse" of Steven Spielberg, the "presidential killing" of George Clooney and Ryan Gosling, Brad Pitt's "penalty becomes gold", Martin Scorsese's "Hugo".

This is a hard problem to choose from. As a result, the Hollywood Association of foreign journalists gave up and generously offered six nominating seats. A typical Golden Globe approach.

However, on the whole, in the award season so far, these six works are indeed in the first group for the time being. In addition to the other works that we regret not to be selected, "crazy love", "tree of life", "Pot Maker, tailor, soldier, spy" and "girl with Dragon Tattoo", these works will appear in the second half of the award season, There is bound to be a fierce fight.

As always, the competition for the best film of music and comedy is always relatively weak. This year's five nominations are no exception, namely "artist", "cancer fighting me", "midnight Paris", "my week with Monroe" and "Bridesmaid".

Among them, the most notable one is Woody Allen. As for other works, the topic and attention are slightly inferior. However, "anti cancer me" and "Bridesmaid" two small cost comedy shortlisted, has become this year's masterpiece, this is undoubtedly a big attraction.

It is worth mentioning that the work of "artist" was well received at this year's Cannes Film Festival. After the hero Jean Dujardin successfully won the Cannes Film king, the Weinstein brothers bought the distribution rights, and then launched a unique award season.

They fly all over the world to attend various film festivals, including Moscow, Montreal, Toronto, Athens, Zurich, New York, Austin, Amsterdam, etc; However, the quality of the finished film has not been sufficiently affirmed, and major film festivals such as triliuride, Venice, Oslo, London and Rome have all rejected the application for this work.

Despite this, the Weinstein brothers, with the signboard of "remembering the golden age of Hollywood", reawakened the college judges' Narcissism and self affirmation. After being ignored by several film critics' associations, they succeeded in winning the Golden Globe Award nomination affirmation before the end of the first stage of the award season, blowing the counterattack horn.

It's said that George Clooney, who has two works of "posterity" and "the presidential Massacre" in hand this year, personally endorsed Jean Jardine and led Jean into the academic public relations circle of Hollywood - even the hero of "the presidential Massacre" Ryan Gosling didn't treat him like this. This work is also known as the first one that is truly tailored according to Hollywood's college aesthetic and preferences since the concept of award season was officially born in 1998. This is a love letter written to Oscar.

As a result, this year's best music and comedy films also add suspense. Is it Mr. woody who remains strong, or "artists" holding high the banner of counter attack, or "bridesmaids" copying the miracle of "hangover" of that year? To some extent, the topic is more interesting than the average strength of the plot department.

In addition to the best picture, the five seats for the best director are divided up by Martin Scorsese of Hugo, Alexander Penn of posterity, George Clooney of the presidential election, Woody Allen of midnight Paris and Michel Hazanavicius of the artist.

Among them, the little-known Michelle is undoubtedly the biggest bright spot in this year's nomination list.

However, compared with the starry cast and the endless topic, the director nomination list is not surprising. Among the actors on this year's Golden Globe nomination list, it is absolutely wonderful.

First, the actress department.

The best heroine of the plot category, Meryl Streep of "Iron Lady", Viola Davis of "help", Felicity Jones of "crazy love", Glenn colse of "male and female", and Rooney Mara of "girl with Dragon Tattoo", successfully made it into the final five nominations.

The new generation of felicity and Rooney became the biggest harvest in 2011. Last year, the rising momentum of generation Y continued again; Viola of the Mesozoic era, Meryl and Glen of the older generation are all veteran actors in the industry. Their absolute strength makes their nominations without suspense.

On the whole, there are not many controversies in this nomination list. Tilda Swinton, who is "we need to talk about Kevin", Kristen Dunst, who is "depressed" and Leila Hatami, who is "a farewell", are the only ones who have failed to make the shortlist, but it is not a big accident.

The best actress of Music Comedy category, Michelle Williams of "my week with Monroe", Kate Winslet and Judy foster of "killing", Charlize Theron of "teenager" and Christine wig of "Bridesmaid", received nominations.

This year, the music and comedy Department has been calm as a whole. Christine won the nomination with the help of the "Bridesmaid" at the box office, which is a surprise. However, Berenice Bejo, the "artist", did not declare the heroine, but chose the supporting role. It is not surprising that she is absent from the competition of the Department.

The best supporting actress department, the artist's bezenis becho, the help's Octavia Spencer and Jessica chastan, the androgynous Janet McTeer and the crazy love's Jennifer Lawrence are among the best.

On the whole, this year is a typical Hollywood year - the most popular films are mainly composed of male actors, and the competition among actresses is still weak. The three works of "sex is indistinguishable", "help" and "crazy love" have gained many actresses' acting skills and become this year's outstanding works.

Among them, the budding Jessica chastan, Rooney Mara and felicity Jones undoubtedly attracted people's attention.

Second is the actor department.

The best actor in the plot category, George Clooney of "posterity", Ryan Gosling of "President's death", Michael faspin of "shame", Brad Pitt of "penalty gold", and Lanley Hall of "crazy love", successfully occupied five seats.

In this list, Hoover, created by Leonardo DiCaprio and Clint Eastwood, has encountered avalanche like Waterloo of public praise. Two Oscar level top stars have cooperated with each other but failed to create the effect of "one plus one is greater than two". This work has become the worst finished product of the two stars in the past decade and has caused continuous exclamations.

The best actor of musical comedy, "artist's Jean Jardine", "cancer fighting me's Langley hall", "midnight Paris's Owen Wilson", "bad guard's Brendan Gleason" and "crazy stupid love's Ryan gosling" will compete head-on.

On the whole, the five nominees did not have the slightest surprise, and there were not many surprises among the unsuccessful actors, which can be said to be a regular nomination list.

It seems that the Golden Globe Awards for music and comedy have become a chicken rib, and the attention is getting off track every year - people are obviously more curious about what kind of achievements the "bridesmaids" and "hangover" can achieve in the art oriented award season, rather than how excellent the comedians are.

The reason why Kim Carrey is so well recognized is that he is the last "comedian recognized by art" in the 21st century. After him, comedians led by Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler and will Farrell almost disappeared in the award season until Steve Carell's sudden awakening in 2014, That's the end of comedians' annual decline.

This year's five nominees, to some extent, also prove this point. Except for Owen Wilson, who is an authentic comedian, the other four nominees are not strictly comedians.

Finally, the best supporting actor department, Christopher Plummer for beginners, Jonah hill for penalty kicks, Viggo Motson for dangerous methods, Albert Brooks for desperate driving, and Kenneth Brana for a week with Monroe.

Compared with the supporting actress, the supporting actor department is a little quiet, the weight of the whole nomination is weak, the overall quality of the "dangerous method" is limited, and the "desperate driving" Albert's performance can only be said to be average. As a new generation comedian, Jonah's nomination by "penalty becomes gold" is more like the light of producer Brad Pitt.

The only thing to be sure of is the veteran actor Christopher, who became famous in the 1960s. For the second year in a row, he gave up his award-winning performance.

The whole actor Department has gained a lot of "Warriors" with positive affirmation, and none of them has been nominated, which is undoubtedly the biggest surprise. Joel Edgerton, Tom Hardy, Nick Nolte and other actors have been completely ignored, and they have not been able to copy the feat of last year's "fighters", which is very painful.

In addition, "killing", "girl with Dragon Tattoo", "commercial ultimatum", "Pot Maker, tailor, soldier, spy" and other works have not been collected, which can be regarded as a big accident, but it is not enough to arouse discussion.

So, what is worth discussing? Or, who is worth discussing? It's not Meryl who won the 17th Golden Globe nomination, nor Generation Y actors who once again occupied the limelight, but three gentlemen - George Clooney, Ryan Gosling, and Langley hall!
