Chapter 1249： historical intersection

The third today, please recommend, please subscribe

Sid Ganis will come to Evan Bell today to say these specious remarks, which is actually a very bold attempt Whether the "Mountain" can make history as a **** work, this is a historical moment, and this is also a breakthrough point for change, breaking out of this juncture will be a completely different world

Sid Ganis knows that the current academy has been stuck in an unstoppable position. He has the heart to change, but he does not have the firm courage. He really wants to talk to someone, and Evan Bell will naturally not. is the right choice, because "Brokeback Mountain" and Evan Bell are inextricably linked; but at the same time, Evan Bell also seems to be the most suitable candidate, the twenty-three-year-old young man represents in Hollywood itself. Leather, it represents personality

Until the end of the concert, Sid Ganis did not decide whether to talk to Evan Bell about it because he was not sure if it was the right choice, but after a brief conversation between the two, Sid Ganis I made up my mind on the spot, so I said it—even in a side-by-side way, but I said it anyway

In fact, Sid Ganis's current position is very embarrassing. On the one hand, he is the head of the college after the change of dynasty. Everyone is expecting him to bring a full atmosphere to Oscar, which is also what he expects; but on the other hand, The reason why the Oscar can win the prestige today is of course professionalism is a factor. At the same time, the influence of the Oscar on the mainstream culture of society is inestimable. Simply put, the Oscar is an awards ceremony in the film industry, but it is also related to politics, culture, society. Closely related, Oscar's every move is not so simple, which makes Sid Ganis' decision very difficult

How could Evan Bell not know? In the last life, Oscar chose "Crash" as the best picture at the last minute, not "Brokeback Mountain", because the mainstream culture in the United States was not ready to accept the influx of **** works, so it has an excellent effect on the issue of race. "Crash" becomes the alternative. Of course, that's not to say "Crash" isn't good enough, on the contrary, "Crash" is great because it's all about American society, culture, politics, race, and that's what makes the movie out of it The ranks of simple entertainment carriers are endowed with profound meaning. Therefore, "Crash" also defeated "Million Dollar Baby" and "Aviator" in the end of this life, and won the title of best film.

In this life, without the dark horse of "crash", in fact, the situation of "Brokeback Mountain" is still not much different

At present, the whole awards season has passed two-thirds, and Oscar has become the last mountain, waiting for the end of the awards season

Throughout the awards season, Studio Eleven operates two works "Brokeback Mountain" and "Little Miss Sunshine" at the same time, and there will inevitably be fights. At present, the strategy of Studio Eleven is Thomas Lansing and Teddy Bell In the academy public relations in charge of "Brokeback Mountain", Kurt Laporte and Eden Hudson are working hard for "Little Sunshine", and the main strategy is still tilted towards "Brokeback Mountain".

This year's situation is different from last year's situation when the "Million Dollar Baby", "Flyer" and "Wine Life" troika went hand in hand they did not widen the gap

"Brokeback Mountain" has won the Golden Globe Award, Golden Lion Award, Producers Guild Award, and 11 Film Critics Association Awards, including Broadcasting, New York, Los Angeles, Boston, etc., showing a sweeping trend throughout the awards season as a leading system The work of the film, such an unprecedented achievement, is definitely a historical breakthrough, and the homosexual theme can be so popular in the Oscars, it can be said to be a historical breakthrough. It can be seen that there is no problem with the nomination of "Brokeback Mountain". The problem is that It can break the shackles, and finally win awards and make history

In the seventy-eight-year history of the Oscars, no **** work has won the honor of best picture. This time, "Brokeback Mountain" seems to be well received, but the academy led by Sid Ganis has suffered a severe social test.

Last week, 60,000 people marched in Los Angeles to protest against "Brokeback Mountain" against the Oscars, which they see as a disgrace to American culture. Conservatives and religious groups clearly have not given up, because once "Brokeback Mountain" made history at the Oscars, then the trend of **** culture moving closer to the mainstream is unstoppable, this is their last chance

At the same time, the federal government also expressed its opposition. The Republican Party, headed by President George Bush, is the most staunch conservative party. They continue the consistent proposition of the US government for homosexual culture. They will not accept homosexuality into mainstream culture.

In this situation, the innocent Michelle Williams was also affected, and her Christian alma mater announced to cut off relations with her, which also showed the unwavering stance of religious groups

Oscar is a cultural feast, but it is also a political, social, and cultural Vanity Fair. Now that "Brokeback Mountain" is facing strong resistance from politics, mainstream culture, and religion, it is no wonder that Sid Ganis hesitated in this situation. The same depressing, beautiful, and at the same time no sensational love movie was the same in the previous life. For the academy judges, it was definitely an unprecedented challenge.

"Brokeback Mountain" no longer has the threat of "crash", but it is still the same as in the previous life, facing the fierce impact of "good night, good luck" "Good night, good luck" is also a top producer, but its works allude to current affairs, black and white photography , The length of the film is too short, and there are a lot of negative factors. Except for the National Review Association Award, I have not won anything. However, this "National Review Association Award" basically determines that it can be shortlisted. In the past 20 years, seventeen winners of this award have been awarded. Nominated for the best picture Oscar for the second time, it seems that it is determined to win

In addition to "Brokeback Mountain" and "Good Night, Good Luck" taking the lead, there are currently four most promising works, and they will compete with other opponents for the remaining three nomination seats "Forever", "Munich", "Sunshine Little" Beauty" and "Capote" are the four candidates. In addition, "Iron Fist Man", "Cyrina", "Immortal Gardener", "Pride and Prejudice", "King Kong", "Squid and "Whale" is on track to be one of five best picture Oscar nominees

At present, "Munich" and "Little Sunshine" have the best voices. The former comes from Steven Spielberg's works, Jewish themes, and Palestinian-Israeli issues. These factors have made "Munich" very high praise; The latter is Evan Bell's ambitious work, and it is also a high-end producer, with dark humor, social problems, and family warmth. "Little Sunshine" has won the title of Gotham throughout the awards season when no one is optimistic. Prizes as a starting point, set off a storm

After the Golden Globe Awards came to an end, among the most predictable parties, "Little Sunshine" came to the top, and the call for winning the championship even surpassed "Brokeback Mountain", and was considered to be the most qualified to compete with "Brokeback Mountain" in 2005. Evan Bell's name is written on the position of the director, especially in the director's position. Take a look at Evan Bell's resume. Last year, he was nominated for the best director for the first time with "Mysterious Skin". , he is also an actor turned director, which is the most rewarding point for the academy judges

In addition, "Brokeback Mountain" and "Little Sunshine" are also from Studio Eleven, and are also produced by Evan Bell, so the "conservative" academics did not choose "Brokeback Mountain", but chose "Little Sunshine" It can also be seen as a kind of compensation, and it is also the best choice for the college party audience and society. Of course, the most important thing is that this allows the college judges to find a perfect psychological haven: look, it's all Evan - isn't Bell's work the same for everyone?

In the past life, "Crash" sniped "Brokeback Mountain"; in this life, "Little Sunshine" sniped "Brokeback Mountain" does not seem to be an impossible task. Of course, if the judges were diverted because of the two works of Eleven Studio Voting also diverts the focus of public relations work, and it is not impossible for both "Brokeback Mountain" and "Little Sunshine" to fall.

This situation really makes Eleven Studio a little bit dumbfounded. From Evan Bell's point of view, the best work wins the best picture, it is so simple, but at the Oscars, it is not so simple. The hatred that comes, makes it difficult for Sid Ganis

The 78th Oscars is the first awards ceremony after Sid Ganis took office In the past few years, the Oscars led by Frank Pearson have been criticized for being old-fashioned, conservative, and no surprises , resting on its laurels, the influence of Oscar is gradually declining. After Sid Ganis accepted the position of chairman, the voice of Ge rose from wave to wave: At that time, "Brokeback Mountain" had not yet been released.

But now, "Brokeback Mountain" is threatening, and the academics who intend to reform are facing another problem, **** movies? Is this leather footstep too big? Throughout the awards season, every Film Critics Association's praise for "Brokeback Mountain" is forcing the academics to make a choice. It seems that "Brokeback Mountain" is the general trend.

Sid Ganis was stuck in a difficult position at this point, he wanted to make a revolution, but he lacked the courage to turn back so he found Evan Bell - even if it was very out of date

Everyone knows the ending of the previous life. After all, the academic courage to reform was not able to follow through. Ang Lee won the best director, but the best picture did not belong to "Brokeback Mountain". So what about this life? Evan Bell, the little butterfly, set off a storm last year. What kind of result will this year usher in?
