Park City is snowy and windy in January, and winter is originally a cold level, and Park City, located in the vast land of the western United States, is even more inconspicuous, and it is difficult to attract people's attention. Sundance held here It is naturally difficult for film festivals to enter the mainstream media's field of vision.
What's more, the Sundance Film Festival starts on January 19th and lasts until the 26th; and the Golden Globe Awards, which has attracted countless top superstars, will summarize the 52nd awards ceremony of the 1994 film. Held on January 21st. Choosing between Sundance and the Golden Globes wasn't too difficult a decision for reporters.
In the past, it was natural, but this year is a little different, all because of one name: Hugo Lancaster.
The list of nominees for the 52nd Golden Globe Awards announced not long ago has caused a lot of discussion.
In this year's Golden Globe competition, the three films "Forrest Gump", "The Burning Years" and "Pulp Fiction" plus a "Lion King" launched a fierce confrontation. As expected, "The Shawshank Redemption" has not made any news for a long time, still did not attract any attention from film critics, and was almost completely ignored at the Golden Globe Awards.
"Forrest Gump," "Burning Years," "Pulp Fiction," "Quiz. Show" and "Nell" rounded out the top five nominees for best picture in a drama; "The Lion" "The King", "The. Adventures. Of. Priscilla", "Four Weddings and a Funeral", "Ed. Wood" and "Pret-a-Porter" ” was in the top five nominations for Best Picture in the Musical Comedy category.
The five nominees for best director and four for best picture in a drama remain the same, with the only change being that "Neal's Heart" lost, and "Natural. Born. Killers" director Oliver S. Pass was shortlisted, while the five nominees for Best Picture in the Musical Comedy category were wiped out in this department.
In terms of film nominations, "Forrest Gump" took the lead with seven nominations, followed by "Pulp Fiction" with six nominations. Although "The Lion King" was limited by the "discrimination" of cartoons and lost in the nomination process for best director, it still relied on the excellent soundtrack, and won a total of four nominations - three of which were with music related.
"Pulp Fiction" was nominated for three major awards, Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay, as well as three nominations for Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress.
"Pulp Fiction" was the only work that was able to keep pace with "Forrest Gump" at the nomination stage, just one short of its rival's nomination for best soundtrack, which also added to the anticipation of the film at the awards ceremony. Performance: Can it make further breakthroughs, once again creating a new chapter in independent film, breaking the monopoly of the big eight studios on awards at the awards ceremony?
In terms of individual awards, Hugo has won two nominations. The first is naturally the nomination for Best Actor in a Drama Series without any doubt. The outstanding performance in "Pulp Fiction" has made Hugo the most powerful actor in this year's Best Actor Award. Contenders, the other four contenders for Hugo are Tom Hanks of "Forrest Gump", Morgan Freeman of "The Shawshank Redemption", "Nobody's. Fool" )" Paul Newman and "Burning Years" Brad Pitt.
On behalf of "The Shawshank Redemption", Morgan attracted the attention of many film critics, but it was limited in the end. People were more lamenting that Tom was able to rely on the wonderful performance of "Forrest Gump" to win the Golden Globe Actor again, while Brad and Rain If these two rising stars can launch an impact - of course, there is also a head-on confrontation between the two actors.
Just like the trend during the film's release, although the overall quality of "The Years of Love" has been criticized, the two male protagonists Brad and Aidan have received a lot of praise. Among them, Aidan's acting skills have won more attention, but Brad's popularity soared, plus the bonus of "Interview with the Vampire", so in the end Brad completed the counterattack, replaced the competitor Aidan in the same play, and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor Nomination, This is also Brad's first official nomination at a mainstream American awards ceremony, and it's very meaningful.
Whether Hugo can overturn Tom, and what results will be achieved in the new round of contest with Brad, this is undoubtedly the most popular topic.
In the past two years, Hugo has won two consecutive nominations for the leading actor and supporting actor, but they all return empty-handed. What is even more ironic is that Hugo has won the Oscar for best supporting actor, but so far there is no one. Golden Globe trophy in hand. This is definitely a huge mistake for the Golden Globes, which is committed to combining the topicality and commercial value of the Oscars. Not to mention that the events after the 1993 Ballon d'Or were even more unpleasant. Although the focus was on Hugo and Mr. Bond, the mistakes of the Ballon d'Or organizers should not be ignored.
Therefore, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association will definitely not let this situation continue for too long. What's more, Hugo's performance in "Pulp Fiction" this time also ushered in a lot of applause, including the Cannes Film Festival and North America, Europe. Unanimous praise from critics. Relatively speaking, Tom Hanks only relied on "Philadelphia Story" to be crowned the best actor of the Golden Globe and Oscar last year, so it seems logical that the Golden Globe Award will award the first actor honor to Hugo.
Of course, all of this is just a prediction, and almost all the media have been talking about it after the nomination list is out.
In addition to the Best Actor in a Drama nomination, Hugo's other nomination is not the Best Supporting Actor nomination like the past two years. The performance in "Life and Death" did not earn Hugo any nominations, but Hugo The name unexpectedly appeared among the nominees for best screenplay.
Not to mention the media, even Hugo himself was surprised.
"The Shawshank Redemption" received only two nominations at the Golden Globes, one for Morgan Freeman's Best Actor in a Drama Series, and one for Frank Darabont and Hugo Lancaster Best Screenplay nomination.
In an interview, Frank said that although Hugo and the crew missed it, he would never obliterate Hugo's contribution to the entire script, so he still added Hugo's name to the screenwriter's lineup. Regardless of Hugo's attitude, this is at least his honest attitude.
As a result, Hugo appeared in the list of nominations for the best screenwriter inexplicably, and the other four contenders were also familiar faces, namely "Pulp Fiction", "Forrest Gump", "Behind the Scenes Lies", " Four weddings and a funeral".
On the whole, this year's Golden Globe nomination list is still full of topics, not only because this is the year when the classics broke out in an all-round way, some people are nominated for the nomination, and some people are not nominated. Almost every film critic has a nomination of his own. Therefore, when the nomination results of the Golden Globe Awards were announced, it attracted a lot of heated discussions in the media; at the same time, because the competition for various awards was so fierce - this is also the result of the continuation of classic masterpieces.
Among them, whether Hugo can end his empty-handed situation at the Golden Globe Awards is an important point to watch, not to mention that he is against another "Tom" Tom Hanks and Brad Pitt. Although a three-person turn is also "Hugo, Tom and Brad", no one can predict what the result will be.
With the approaching of the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, the guest list was gradually announced, but after entering 1995, the media discovered one thing sensitively for the first time: Hugo's name did not appear in the first three batches of lists. This is definitely a huge question mark.
Don't say that Hugo is one of the most important points in the competition for the award. Just talking about Hugo's current momentum, it can be said that without Hugo, one-third of the focus will be lacking.
The reporters initially asked NBC, the broadcaster of the Golden Globes, with a mysterious expression, "please expect surprises," but when the reporter threw the same question to Rick Rosen, he got a meaningful answer. The answer, "Hugo has just returned from vacation, we are still communicating about his next work arrangement, and there will be a result in the near future." Although Rick's answer is completely objective and impartial, it is sensitive to this At the moment, the reporters can completely interpret it as: Hugo is unwilling to attend the Golden Globes!
Sure enough, NBC TV has been secretive, but after the fourth batch of lists was announced, they could no longer hide it. They "regretfully" announced: We will not see Lancaster at the Golden Globes this year. sir. In an instant, the media exploded.
Many media are speculating that since the Golden Globes incident in 1993, Hugo was actually very dissatisfied with the handling of NBC TV and the Foreign Correspondents Association at that time. Last year, Hugo was absent from the Golden Globes on the grounds of filming "Life and Death". As a result, the Golden Globes also ignored Hugo, making Hugo, who was hot at the time, completely invisible, but who would have thought that two months later, Oscar would give the best supporting actor little golden man to Hugo, and let the Golden Globes The award was completely lost.
This year, the Golden Globes have been begging Hugo to attend, but unfortunately Hugo is not interested in the Golden Globes. Even though NBC TV and Rick kept communicating and negotiating, they still failed to reach a consensus. Therefore, the next Golden Globe awards trend has added more uncertainties.
Of course, all of this is just speculation by the media. When the media interviewed Rick, he denied all of it, he just said, "Hugo must start the promotion of his new work, and he decided to take 'Before Sunrise' to St. Dance Film Festival, to participate in this independent film festival. Unfortunately, Sundance's time and the Golden Globes clashed, and Hugo was also very entangled and made a difficult decision. Regarding the absence of the Golden Globes, Hugo is deeply regretful and will personally express his apologies to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association."
So, in an instant, the Sundance Film Festival, which had no one to care about it, became hot. Following Hugo, many reporters also had to make a choice: Is it Sundance or the Golden Globes? Can Hugo alone eclipse the star-studded Golden Globes?
Nicholas - McClane made a decision is not a difficult thing, so he appeared in Park City, followed by Nicholas to make a similar decision and a large number of reporters, the sudden influx of these people also for the cold winter in Park City It brings a touch of warmth, as if the footsteps of spring are approaching.
