Walking into the lower part of Manhattan, it is different from the middle, urban and upper urban areas. The streets here show an irregular arrangement. When walking through the streets, you will occasionally see old buildings from the beginning of the last century, that kind of branding. The sense of historical precipitation in the bones of the city of New York makes the sigh involuntarily overflow from the mouth.
Sprelli Restaurant (ant) is an Italian restaurant with a heritage of more than 70 years. Its chain stores have come to prosperous New York from the far side of the Atlantic, and have taken root on the world-famous Wall Street in lower Manhattan. The quaint architectural style, the Broadway-style revolving door, the banquet hall-style high hall, the artistic murals, the old goose-yellow menu... All these make the Sprelli restaurant full of strong European flavor, if Pair it with delicious Italian food and everything will be perfect in no time. Every November, the American Film Brothers Awards kick off at the Sprigley Restaurant, which also officially kicks off the North American awards season. Generally speaking, the awards season lasts from December to March of the following year. Starting in December, ceremonies such as the US Billboard Music Awards, the National Critics Association Awards, and the Boston Film Critics Society Awards will appear one after another, making the awards season lively. Extraordinarily decorated. But in fact, there is already an awards ceremony in November, and the Geshu Award is the first shot of the awards season every year.
American Film Gotham Awards, founded in 1991 by the Independent Film Producers Association of America (lnd, nd, ntf, atun, j. t, abbreviated lfp), has now developed into the second largest film festival after the Sundance Film Festival. In addition, the second most important independent film award in the United States. The significance of the Gotham Awards is not only that it is the first award in the awards season, but its annual Best Film Award is also known as the most important award in the American independent film industry.
The name "Gotham" is taken from the nickname of New York. It opens at the 55th Wall Street every year. The selection objects are usually independent films that have not been released on a large scale in mainstream theaters, and also include a small number of other films in other Many of the films released at the festival but not yet officially released are directorial debuts.
The Gotham Awards only give out six awards in total: Best Picture, Best Documentary, Best Ensemble, Breakthrough Director of the Year, Breakthrough Actor of the Year, and Best Unreleased Film. It can be seen from this list of awards that the Geshu Award does not care about what mainstream business is concerned about, the only thing they care about is "breakthrough".
Evan Bell, who was born in independent films, was nominated for Best Director last year for "Mysterious Skin", and Gordon-Levitt, the Joseph dog, won the nomination for Breakthrough Actor of the Year for his outstanding performance in "Mysterious Skin": "Crash" was nominated for Best Ensemble. No. Ran did not win the award in the end, but it can be seen that the Independent Film Producers Association of America has affirmed Evan Bell.
This year, a "Little Miss Sunshine" and a "Brokeback Mountain" undoubtedly brought Evan Bell into the Gotham Awards' sights again. "Brokeback Mountain" was nominated for Best Picture and Best Breakthrough Actor, while "Little Miss Sunshine" was even better, with three nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Ensemble, making this film even better. The title of "Independent Film Flag" has been fully realized.
On November 16th, at 7 o'clock in the evening, after Evan Bell finished the rehearsal of the concert, he and Teddy Bell arrived at the Spriley Restaurant. Wen - Bell missed the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2," this year he is preparing for a concert in New York, naturally there is no reason to miss it.
Although this was also an awards ceremony, it was not as serious and formal as academic. Evan Bell was still in Madison Square Garden at four o'clock in the afternoon. After returning home, he took a shower and changed his clothes, and then he walked directly to Wall Street. Yes, walk without using any means of transportation.
Today, the dog Bell appeared in casual clothes, smoky gray jeans, white graffiti lace-up canvas shoes, black and white checkered round neck T-shirt, and finally put on the black court coat that was just released this season of "November". - There are only six pieces in the world, and one of them is worn by Evan Bell. This look is like attending a private party, without the atmosphere of an awards ceremony at all, but the clothes are put on Evan Bell, the powerful aura and perfect presentation effect, but people can't help but look at him.
There were not many reporters at the scene, and there were less than 40 reporters within sight. The fans who arrived at the scene were not as lively as the large-scale awards ceremony, just like the independent nature of the Gotham Awards. The media is still the audience, and the attention to the Geshu Award is far less than that of other awards ceremonies.
However, this is also more in line with the temperament of the Geshou Award. People are more valuable than others. When less than a hundred spectators saw Evan-Bell's arrival, they didn't cheer wantonly, but gathered together and kept asking questions. Evan-Bell even heard "Evan,'" When will the fragrance be released..." It seems that the loyal fans of these independent films have always paid close attention to Evan Bell's works.
Although there is no formal red carpet, Sprelli Restaurant just has a red carpet on the space less than ten yards from the entrance, but it doesn't look like a red carpet at all. Instead, it looks like a stepping pad at the entrance of the restaurant. However, Bell was very happy to stay here for a little more time, exchanged some questions with the surrounding audience, and chatted with reporters about the preparations for the recent concert. The whole atmosphere seemed very relaxed. The atmosphere of the Sundance Film Festival is different, but essentially the same, the atmosphere of this independent film makes Evan Bell feel like a duck to water.
"Hey, Miller, Miller, have you predicted that this work will be very popular?" Someone appeared behind him, and most of the reporters rushed over. Here, big names have privileges, but they are not absolute privileges. Those who are recognized by their strength are truly popular. So Evan Bell, while popular here, is not unique.
Evan Bell also followed the reporters' gaze and looked back, and it was Bennett Miller. When it comes to this name, many people are confused, and the first reaction must be "Who?" This name is indeed very unfamiliar to many people, even in the field of independent films. name. But Bell has an indelible memory of the name.
As a director, Bennett-Miller has a much more personality than Evan-Bell. It's the same thing to see Evan-Bell's unprofessional work, but he still has a lot of works, just the director's works are now already Three films have come out: but Bennett-Miller until 2012, when Evan-Bell was reborn, there were only two directorial works, from the filming of the first documentary in 1998 to 2012 for fourteen years, Bennett-Miller made only two feature-length films, a frighteningly small number.
Quantity is one aspect, and from the perspective of Bennett Miller's work itself, it is also full of personality, not much less than that of Evan Bell. The two feature films directed by Bennett Miller are "Capote", which was released this year, and "Moneyball", which will be released in 2011. But it is these two works that make Bennett-Miller a member that cannot be ignored in the resume of independent film directors. His talent, energy, and charm have been brought into full play in these two works. , which makes Evan-Bell always think of Charlie Fonfman, a screenwriter who is also a masterpiece of rare works.
"Capote" is a biographical film that tells the life of Truman Capote, a famous Southern literary writer in the history of American literature. One of Truman Ten Potter's most famous works is "Breakfast at Tiffany's" published in 1958. The novel was later adapted into a film. The perfect image of Audrey Hepburn in the film made the film a classic position in film history. . But the work that really established Truman-Capote in the literary world was "Cold Blood" published in 1966. Likewise, as an openly **** man in the 1950s, Truman Capote had a legendary life, playing the world in high society, but at the same time addicted to the world of alcohol and drugs, poor physical condition even curbed his passion for writing. "Cold Blood" is his pinnacle work. After it was published, Truman-Capote did not have any decent works. In the end, he was like many artists who were once talented and mighty. A disgraceful way—overdose—completed the curtain call.
Bennett-Miller put the life of Truman Ten Potter on the big screen. The film was screened at the Toronto Film Festival and the New York Film Festival, and received wide acclaim. Since, like "Brokeback Mountain," Truman 10 Potters was inherently gay, and the media inevitably discussed it, this year seems to be the year that **** movies are fully on the rise. "Capote" has received numerous accolades, including for director Bennett Miller's poetic shots and in-depth exploration of the film's human dimension, as well as recognition for the superb acting of lead actor Philip Seymour Hoffman.
The reason why Evan Bell left a deep impression on Bennett-Miller is that when he was a reporter in his last life, he had a very vivid opportunity for Bennett-Miller to be enthusiastically sought after by the Academy of Oscars.
"Capote" as Bennett Miller's directorial debut, won the best picture, best director, best actor, best supporting actress, best adapted screenplay and other nominations. And Philip Seymour Huodaman, who has been active in the second line, also defeated an opponent with this movie and won the Oscar for Best Actor! In this lifetime, although Evan Bell has changed the course of history, Philip Seymour Hoffman is still the most powerful contender for next year's Oscar winner.
