1412 Chapter 1412
The shooting of "Independence Day" kicked off in a lively and chaotic scene. In 1996, it started a new journey with a very noisy attitude. However, the noise of Hollywood is just an appetizer. Whenever this time comes, everyone We all know clearly that the end of the year also means that the conclusion of the year is coming, and the major awards ceremonies will steal all the attention and become the absolute protagonists of the winter season.
The development of the North American film market entered a new stage in 1995. The innovative ideas of computer technology led by commercial blockbusters such as "Future Water World" and "Independence Day" were impacting the traditional film market; The strong rise of "Pulp Fiction" has reached a peak; in addition, the major awards ceremonies are gradually improving at this time, and then the prototype of the future awards season has been formed.
It can be said that 1994 and 1995 were watershed for the entire film history.
In addition to the BAFTA Awards, the French Caesar Awards, the European Film Awards, the three major European film festivals and other overseas award ceremonies with high reputation, in the United States, the development of film award ceremonies has also accumulated a lot and entered the mature stage.
Not only are there awards ceremonies that honor specific types of works such as the Saturn Award, the Annie Award, and the Emmy Award, but more are the gradual development and improvement of comprehensive award ceremonies.
At present, the long-standing award ceremonies with a history of more than 30 years are already very complete. First of all, the four major Hollywood unions have their own awards. The filmmakers' union awards, these four major unions have a very long time to award awards. They are more awarded special awards that only belong to their own unions, and are also considered to be the highest recognition in the professional field.
Take the Directors Guild of America Award as an example. This is an award selected entirely by professional directors. The professionalism and rigor far exceed the comprehensive awards such as the Oscars. In the United States, the recognition of the Directors Guild Award is even more important than the Oscar statuette - the Oscars only have higher achievements in business, but in terms of professionalism, the Directors Guild of America Award is slightly better.
In addition to the four trade union awards, the National Critics Association Awards (National. Board. Of. Review. Awards), the National Film Critics Association Awards (National. Society. Of. Film. Critics) also play a pivotal role.
The former was founded in 1908. The members of the judges are in various industries such as film, news, publishing, and law. It can be said that it is similar to the composition of the Academy of Oscars, so it is generally regarded as the earliest weather vane of the Oscars.
The latter was founded in 1966. As the name suggests, this is an association composed of professional film critics, film historians, and film art scholars. The professionalism is undeniable, and it is closer to the major trade union awards.
In addition, in addition to the National Film Critics Association Awards, the five major film critics associations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, and Boston also issued corresponding awards, with different focuses. However, due to geographical and historical reasons, New York and The Los Angeles Film Critics Association plays a pivotal role.
The five Oscar vanes mentioned by later generations are the National Critics Association Award, the National Film Critics Association Award, the New York Film Critics Association Award, and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award. The last seat belongs to the Golden Globe Award.
These awards, coupled with the Golden Globes, which have unparalleled commercial achievements, and the Oscars, which are the world's most appealing, are basically the composition of the entire North American film market awards ceremony.
In 1995, the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the North American Broadcasting Film Critics Association Awards (Broadcast. Film. Critics. Association. Award) were officially established.
The former joined the teams of the other four major trade unions to complete the final piece of the puzzle; the latter was jointly sponsored by 199 TV stations and radio stations, surpassing other film critics associations and becoming the largest film critics organization in North America. .
At the beginning of its establishment, the North American Broadcasting Film Critics Association Award took a high-cold route, high and low, and after entering the 21st century, the standard changed, and the degree of overlap with the Oscars became more and more high; on the contrary, the National Film Critics Association Award after 2010 Began to take the niche route, and artistry has been paid more and more attention.
Therefore, the North American Broadcasting Film Critics Association Award also replaced the Oscar weather vane status of the National Film Critics Association Award, and the identity of the rising star became the last member of the five weather vanes.
So far, the U.S. awards season that will sweep the world in the future has taken shape, with the Oscars as the coordinates, the five major trade unions as auxiliary and embellishment, the National Critics Association Award, the North American Broadcasting Film Critics Association Award, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award, and the New York Film Critics Association Award. , the Golden Globe Awards constitute the five weather vanes, and finally the Sundance Film Festival, the American Independent Spirit Awards, the seventeen Film Critics Association Awards and the National Film Critics Association Awards, which are unshakable in the industry, and the People's Choice Awards. Awards, the MTV Movie Awards, which was born in 1992, is an entertaining popcorn awards ceremony, which basically has all the members, which directly gave birth to the "awards season" that affects the entire movie box office market!
The famous awards season began in 1995.
This year is the first year that the awards season is gradually fermenting. Although the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the North American Broadcasting Film Critics Association Awards are still young, the former is based on a huge cast members, and the latter has 199 TV and radio stations. The support of , the momentum should not be underestimated, which also made the already lively end of the year even more lively.
In fact, the awards season does not even have a prototype at this moment. People will not speculate on the list of winners of the Golden Globes and Oscars based on the results of the major awards ceremonies, and film companies will not make arrangements based on the trends of the awards ceremonies in order to impact the Oscars. Publicity strategy, awards ceremonies are still separate entities, and people are not keen to discuss the connection. It can only be said that all the members of the awards season are already in place, that's all.
Nonetheless, the major awards ceremonies at the end of the year have never been short of topics for entertainment news, especially after the three-legged grand occasion of "Forrest Gump", "Pulp Fiction" and "The Shawshank Redemption" last year, this year's The entertainment topics became more noisy.
The National Film Critics Association Award awarded the best picture to "Bbay", and the director, best actor and actress were awarded to "Far from the Casino"; the National Film Critics Association Award went to Lee. Ann's "Sense and Sensibility" was highly praised, and the best picture, director, and leading actress were all awarded to this work, and the best actor was won by Hugo of "Death Row".
The newly established North American Broadcasting Film Critics Association awards are for those who see it, best film "Sense and Sensibility", best director Mel Gibson for "Braveheart", best actor is "First Class". Kevin Bacon of Murder. In. The. First, and Nicole Kidman of "Whatever It Takes" for best actress.
It can be vaguely seen that "reason and emotion" has been mentioned several times, but the awards of the five major trade union awards and the major film critics' associations are all over the place, and the names of many works have been mentioned repeatedly, "Apollo No. 13," "Baby Pig," "Stay Away from Casino," "Nixon," "Dead Man Walk," and so on, it can be said that it is almost a melee and dazzling.
Although last year's "Forrest Gump", "Pulp Fiction" and other works can also be said to be a big melee, this year's situation is obviously different, not only the overall quality of the works has dropped by a notch, but also there is no "Forrest Gump". Biography" is a work with a comprehensive and strong box office, word of mouth, and reviews.
Of course, Hugo's name was mentioned many times again. In "Death Row", Hugo gave the best performance of his career. This is obviously the best topic. In addition, in "The Seven Deadly Sins", Yugo Guo's performance has also won numerous praises. Many film critics believe that Hugo is fully capable of winning the Best Supporting Actor Award. Coupled with the good performance of "Before the Sunrise", it can be said that Hugo is in three works this year. Astonishing energy erupted, and the praise for acting skills reached an unprecedented peak.
In addition, the original script of "Before Sunrise" has also been widely praised by film critics, although this work was first released at the Sundance Film Festival in January last year, and it was released early in January. It's been a long year, but people still haven't forgotten this work, and the inspiration and wisdom that Hugo injected into this movie.
Compared with the crazy wave of "Life and Death" and "Pulp Fiction" set off at the box office in 1994, Hugo's performance at the box office in 1995 was a lot worse, but Hugo's momentum in major awards ceremonies was as high as a brand new vertex.
This is not the first time, and it is believed that it will not be the last.
Hugo has achieved very good results in the past few years. Almost every work has the strength to impact awards at the end of the year. "Schindler's List" won Hugo's first Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. After that, "Pulp Fiction" won him an Oscar nomination, and many people even thought that "Pulp Fiction" was enough to make Hugo emperor, but unfortunately Hugo lost to Tom Hanks, who made history.
This year, the three films are in full swing, especially in "Death Convict Walk", which has completed a stunning transformation, and the fruit of the rain has reached a new level. Among the major award ceremonies that have ended, the National Critics Association Award, Screen Actors Guild Awards, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, and the Chicago Film Critics Association Awards all awarded Hugo the Best Actor award, which is amazing.
However, Hugo is not guaranteed to win this year. Due to the decline in the quality of the overall work throughout the year, the actors have performed a lot, including Nicolas Cage, Kevin Bacon, Anthony Hopkins and others have contributed A wonderful performance, and of course, Tom Hanks, who must not be forgotten. This not only makes the competition fierce, but also makes the award trend more suspenseful. Can Hugo, who has successfully reached the top of North America, achieve another breakthrough in the actor's career?
Obviously this is not an easy task, especially as the entire awards market is maturing. So now the question is, what should we do with the upcoming Golden Globe Awards?
