Chapter 2207： New officer takes office

Today's fifth update, please recommend, please subscribe!

2009 is a year for Hollywood to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new year. For the first time in the year, the box office of North American films exceeded 10 billion. Warner Bros. has also become the first film company in film history to exceed 2 billion at the US box office in a single year. In addition, the dynastic change of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has also become the beginning of a new round of turmoil in the film industry.

​​

Four years ago, Sid Ganis became the president of the academy. To achieve this goal, even at the expense of the ratings of the awards ceremony, the result is also very prominent. During the four-year period, "Brokeback Mountain", "The Departed", "No Country for Old Men" and "Juno" won the four best Oscar films, which also marked that American films have truly entered the era of the full rise of independent films and commercial films.

​​

Today, four years later, Tom Sherac took over the baton as the president of the academy and carried the heavy responsibility of the post-Sidganis era on his shoulders. As a typical representative of the new faction, Tom Sherac is a well-known radical within the academy. , he is particularly fond of directors with very distinctive personal characteristics such as Evan Bell and the Coen brothers.

​​

After Tom Sherac took office, he was faced with a new and arduous task. On the one hand, he wanted to continue the situation that Sid Ganis painstakingly established; but on the other hand, the issue of ratings became his biggest difficulty. At the same time, the pressure exerted by the old school forces in the academy cannot be underestimated.

​​

Evan Bell doesn't know what happened after the change of dynasty for the president of the academy in his previous life. No one paid close attention to the new president, but it can be seen from the best film awarded by the college in his previous life." "The Hurt Locker", "The King's Speech", "The Artist" are all typical works that return to the Oscar tradition, and it is not an exaggeration to say that these works are flattering like the Academy extending an olive branch, but it is precisely these flatterers Winning the favor of the academy, it can be seen that after Sidganis stepped down in the previous life, Oscar's old-fashioned forces had the upper hand, bringing the "runaway horse" back to the original track.

​​

This is such a difficult situation that Tom Sherac will face in this lifetime. And the first mess was the last order before Sid Ganis left office: the best picture waiting list was expanded to ten seats!

​​

This move of Sid-Gannis was as expected by Evan Bell, and was scolded by the media as a red fruit behavior that won high ratings. What is even more ridiculous is that there are ten alternate positions for the best picture, but the best director. There are still only five seats, which makes the five films that did not win the best director nominations completely reduced to a joke... Their **** roles are doomed when the nomination list is released. Of course, it is undeniable that there are ten places for the best picture, which is indeed a chance for comedy, horror, documentaries, foreign language films, cartoons and other types of films to win the opportunity, but the positive and negative effects are mutual. After the offset, who has the upper hand can only be revealed after the 82nd Oscars come to an end.

​​

Therefore, 2009 is indeed a very important year in the history of American films. It is no exaggeration to say that it will affect the development trajectory of Hollywood films in the next ten years.

​​

In the past four years, awards season has presented a chaotic situation. This chaos is caused by the panic caused by Sid Ganis' drastic reform of the Oscars. People cannot have an accurate understanding of the context of the Academy. This makes the so-called weather vanes in the awards season overwhelmed. In the past four years, Studio Eleven, which is ready to grasp the pulse of the college's "work first", has sprung up, while the Weinstein brothers, the former darlings of the college, have been quite agitated. This is the reason.

​​

The awards season in 2009 was still chaotic, but it was not because of the situation caused by Tom Sherac coming to power. In the final analysis, it was because of the increase in the number of nominations, which led to the number of alternate works doubled at once, making the whole The outposts of the awards season are a bit dazed when crossing the river by feeling the stones.

​​

In previous years, since there were only five seats for the best picture, the final competition was basically seven to eight works, plus the works that were expected to be upset, the twelve or thirteen works were capped. But this year is different. The so-called seed players have expanded to more than 20 at once, which is dizzying. If the image is more vivid, it means that the previous chaotic situation at least has a pattern, so this year's chaos is a group of wild horses running around in sight, tossing the sky, but all the wild horses are still circling in place, there is no such thing at all. Running out of a line is really frustrating.

​​

If you want to analyze more than 20 works in detail one by one in one awards season, this is undoubtedly a huge project. This is only a contender for the best picture. The director, screenwriter, starring, etc. triggered by the best picture The joint effects of all aspects are another chess game, so the difficulty is completely predictable. What's more, it's still the same sentence, in a year, are there really more than 20 works that can reach a super high level? Or is the uneven quality a breath of fresh air? So how do you stand tall among shorts without making the so-called ten bench seats a joke?

​​

This chaotic situation is accompanied by the end of the North American Broadcasting Film Critics Association, the National Critics Association Awards, the British Film Institute Awards and the Seventeen Station Film Critics Association Awards. After the official announcement of the Golden Globe Award winners, it was finally sorted out. came up with an idea.

​​

The 67th Golden Globe Awards came to an end at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills. Due to the two consecutive years of bad ratings, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association obviously spent a lot of money this year to invite all the top stars to the scene. The whole awards ceremony was festive, including Evan Bell, who had only attended the Golden Globes twice before, and became the guest of honor for the best picture.

​​

And the final result of the Golden Globe Awards is also very commercial, which really set off the ratings frenzy. "Avatar" topped the Golden Globe Awards, this new box office champion in film history, aroused the undifferentiated attention of fans! This has also become a decision for the Golden Globes this year, the 'most sensible'.

​​

"Avatar" won the best drama film, and James Bian Mellon won the best director, which became the hottest focus of the night. "Hangover" relied on its explosive popularity to be crowned the best musical comedy film, which can be regarded as conforming to people's hearts. At the Golden Globe Awards, the screenwriter did not distinguish between originality and adaptation, and finally "On the Cloud" won the Best Screenplay Award.

​​

In terms of acting awards, Evan Bell relied on "In the Clouds" to win the Best Actor in a Drama Series, and then relied on "One Day" to win the Best Actor in a Musical Comedy, becoming the double winner of the night's best actor. Best Supporting Actor went to "Inglourious Basterds" Christopher Waltz.

​​

Sandra Bullock wins Best Actress in a Drama for her stellar performance in "Weakness," Meryl Streep Relies on "Love Is Complicated," Best Musical Comedy for "Julie & Julia" The double nominations for the leading actress finally came to fruition, and it was "Julie and Julia" who won the actress for Meryl Streep. Best Supporting Actress was won by Blake Lively for her outstanding performance in "In the Clouds".

​​

In addition, the best animated feature film belongs to "Flying House", and the best foreign language film belongs to "White Ribbon".

​​

Take a look at the final list of winners of the Golden Globe Awards, "Avatar", "The Hangover", "In the Clouds", "Weakness", "Inglourious Basterds"... These works have performed very well at the box office, among which "The lowest box office" "Inglourious Basterds" also has 120 million, not to mention "Avatar". And Evan Bell became the first double winner in the history of the Golden Globe Awards, which is also a typical trick of the Golden Globe Awards to repay the fans-although Evan Bell is indeed superior in strength, and the awards are also It deserves it.

​​

It is undeniable that the Golden Globes finally won. In terms of ratings, it won the faithful return of the audience and made the Hollywood Foreign Press Association smile.

​​

In any case, the influence of the Golden Globe Awards in the world is second only to that of the Oscars, not to mention whether it is an Oscar vane or not, but this awards ceremony has more or less influence on Hollywood practitioners. Therefore, after the Golden Globe Awards the chaotic situation of the fierce year can finally see a context.

​​

James-Cameron's "Avatar" and Evan Bell's "In the Cloud" have become the leading seeds of this year's awards season. Both are ahead of other competitors in terms of overall strength and aura. The former company selected 20th Century Fox, the top performer in the awards season among the old six major film companies, and the latter selected the company's Eleventh Studio, the new favorite of the academy in the past four years. Therefore, it is foreseeable that the competition between these two works will be particularly fierce.

​​

Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" and Rob Marshall's "Nine", the two Weinstein brothers' menacing main works, followed closely behind, showing a strong aura not to be outdone.

​​

Eleven Studio's "Flying House", "Weakness", "Hangover", "Single Man" and "One Day" all entered the waiting list; Lionsgate's "Cherish", Fox Searchlight's "Crazy" Wild Heart", "Five Hundred Days with Summer", Sony Classic "District 9", "Growing Up Education", "White Ribbon", "Last Stop", Warner Bros. "It Happens in People", Focus Studio Ghibli's "Serious Men," "Ghost Mom," Paramount's "Star Trek," Studio Ghibli's "Ponyo on the Cliff"...

​​

Before and after, a total of 21 works entered the final competition, which is dazzling.
