Chapter 1441： Reduced to a laughing stock

The Berlin Film Festival, which has always been hiding in the corner of attention, has become the focus of everyone’s attention. The Golden Globe, which has always been standing under the spotlight and receiving applause, has become the laughing stock of everyone. It is hard to imagine that this is actually a man. The situation created by the actors. But, this is Hollywood, where all things can't possibly become possible dreams.

When the Berlin Film Festival ended, the controversy over the six major acting awards at the Golden Globes reached its culmination. Naturally, it was accompanied by doubts about the Hollywood Foreign Press Association-what kind of association is this? Is this association really a non-profit organization? What are their criteria? Where is their authority? Is there really nothing tricky about awarding awards?

Almost overnight, the "Hollywood Foreign Press Association" became a target. Numerous questions came surging, making the association seem precarious, as if it would fall apart at any time.

But Marjana knew that this was not only caused by Hugo, but also from their own internal struggles. Behind these doubts, how many instructions were from her and how many were from Michael. Only they know it. But it is undeniable that the Golden Globes has indeed reached a turning point in its development, and no one can determine its future direction.

With the topics triggered by the Berlin Film Festival, the world's attention was instantly focused on the Oscar that will be held a month later. Perhaps all disputes and all doubts will come to light at the Oscar, when the Golden Globes are turned over. Still falling into hell, perhaps a conclusion can be drawn.

The Oscar, currently the world’s most concerned, authoritative, and topical awards ceremony, took advantage of the trend and announced the nominations for the 68th Academy Awards at the Topic Whirlpool Center.

In the most watched competition for the best film, the current momentum of "Sense and Emotion" has undoubtedly occupied a seat, and the rave reviews "Baby Pig" has no suspense among the final five, but The other three works are quite interesting, "Brave Heart", "Apollo 13" and "Death Row" were successfully shortlisted!

The list of nominations for the 68th Academy Award for Best Picture is very interesting. "Sense and Emotion", "Brave Heart" and "Apollo 13" are among the top five in the Golden Globes drama category, and "Baby Pig" is The final winner of the Golden Globe Musical Comedy category, but the problem is "Death Row".

Although "Death Convict Walk" had a good reputation at the Golden Globe Awards, it failed to make it into the final five. In the nomination for the best film in the drama category, the Golden Globe Awards chose "Far from Casino" and "Land Bridges". , But Oscar gave a completely different answer.

Due to the particularity of the selection of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, during the nomination stage, the judges only vote in their own department and enter the award selection stage before they can vote for all departments.

To illustrate briefly, Hugo is now an actor, so he can only vote for the best actor, best actress, best supporting actor, and best supporting actress during the nomination stage. In addition, he can also vote Voting for the best film; after the nomination list comes out, when the winner is selected among the top five contestants, Hugo can vote for all departments.

This is mainly to ensure professionalism, especially in professional departments such as audio, makeup, clothing, etc. During the nomination stage, a wide range of academies will reduce their professionalism. I've seen all the works with excellent editing and sound effects.

Moreover, even when entering the award voting stage, most actors will leave the professional awards empty and do not vote. This is to prevent their non-professional opinions from affecting the awards. Of course, this is voluntary. Every college judge has the right to vote for all awards except for the best foreign language film.

Therefore, generally speaking, people will think that the nomination shows absolute strength, and winning the award requires the right time and place, and a little bit of luck.

Now, the name "Death Row" appears in the nominations for Best Picture of the Oscars. This is not only an affirmation, but also the greatest irony of the Golden Globes. The finalists for "Sense and Emotion" and "Baby Pig" are expected, and the overall strength of "Brave Heart" and "Apollo 13" is also slightly ahead, which also makes the finalists of "Death Row" become the whole nomination. The biggest surprise on the list.

The next best director nomination list brought a series of surprises, "Baby Pig" director Chris-Nuan (.), "Brave Heart" director Mel Gibson, "Death Row" Director Tim Robbins was nominated successfully, and the other two seats belonged to "Far from the Casino" Mike Figes and "The Postman (il. Michael Ledford (.)!

This also means Lee, who won the prize for "Sense and Emotion". An unexpectedly lost the election! This also makes the prospect of "Sense and Emotion" above the Oscars suddenly become unclear. Obviously, in the eyes of the Academy, they prefer "Baby Pig" than "Sense and Emotion".

"Baby Pig", "Brave Heart" and "Death Row" won nominations for Best Picture and Best Director at the same time. This also brightened the prospects of the three works. Just a list of nominations can be read too. Many details and connotations. At the same time, this also makes the six directors of the Golden Globe nominations dull.

There are not many surprises in the much-anticipated Best Actor category, Nicholas Cage of "Away from Casino", Richard Dreyfus of "Life Is Beautiful", and Anthony Hopkins of "Nixon Biography" Si, and Hugo of "Death Row" are no doubt nominated successfully, the only difference is that the male protagonist of "Postman" Massimo Trosi (.) occupies the last seat.

The "postman", which had been generally ignored before, suddenly gained momentum. This Italian work also occupies a place among the fiercely competitive best foreign language films, and the prospects suddenly become brighter.

However, obviously in the competition in this department, the biggest highlight is the showdown between Hugo and Nicholas. The two actors were almost evenly divided in the many awards ceremonies before, and the strength and momentum of the two actors were not the same. Uncle.

Hugo is 28 years old this year, and Nicholas is only 31 years old; Hugo won the acting nomination for the third year in a row. Although Nicholas's previous "Moonlight Sultry" and "Vegas Honeymoon" were not nominated for Oscars, But they still received good comments and won nominations at the Golden Globe Awards; the two actors contributed the best performances of their careers in their works, and their works have also been nominated for other Oscar awards; but Hugo just won the best supporting actor statuette two years ago, is it really time to quickly get a second statuette? Nicholas doesn't have such concerns...

It can be said that the competition between the two actors is undoubtedly the most eye-catching, and no one can predict where the victory of the thin ice will go.

More importantly, the direction of the Oscar statuette will largely determine the situation of the Golden Globe. If Nicholas wins, it is equivalent to the conclusion of the Golden Globe. This is nothing for them. It's a huge victory; but if Hugo wins, from Berlin to Oscar... Just imagine the disaster that the Golden Globes will face.

This also makes the actor contender surpass the competition for the best picture, becoming the biggest suspense and biggest attraction of this year's Oscar. Just reading the nomination list is enough to make people excited.

The nomination list for the Best Actress Department is even more interesting. Susan Sarandon from "Death Row", Elizabeth Su from "Far from Casino", and Meryl Si from "Covered Bridge Last Dream" Tripp, Emma Thompson of "Sense and Emotion", these semi-finals have no surprises, and they are consistent with the nomination of the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series. The problem is the last seat.

It was Charlize Theron "before sunrise" who won this seat!

At this moment, everyone screamed, not only because of Charlize’s upset and making it into the top five nominations, but also because Charlize squeezed out the Golden Globes drama queen Sharon Stone. ! This is completely a slap in the face of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Although Charlize won the nomination for Best Actress in a Musical Comedy at the Golden Globe Awards, the whole meaning is completely different.

Leaving aside the Golden Globe controversy, last year Sundance received countless sought after "before sunrise" and finally shined on the OscarsBehind Charlize winning the nomination as a queen, But people can't help but guess that the academy’s affirmation of "before sunrise" will definitely become the added value of Hugo. Hugo’s outstanding performance in this work will also increase the impression points of the college judges, allowing Hugo to compete for the winner. Get more support during the war.

Of course, Charlize’s performance in "Before Sunrise" is also worthy of recognition. The twenty-year-old actress has almost won the love of everyone, which reminds many people of Judy Foss Special-the superstar who won the Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the age of 14, won his first Oscar for Best Actress at the age of 26, and won the second actress at the age of 29. .

After being nominated as a queen, Charlize became one of the contenders. Although the odds are relatively small, if she wins, she will break Mary-Marlee (marlee.) in the 59th Oscar in 1987. " Sorry for the daughter of God (.of.a.lesser.The record set when she aspired to the Oscar queen, when she was only 21 years old and 218 days.

Just from the list of nominations for best picture, best director, best actor, and best actress, we can see that the predictions made by everyone relying on the Golden Globes have fallen apart. The subversion is obvious. Although there is still a full month before the awards ceremony, it seems that the Golden Globes has become a laughing stock.
