Chapter 1413 1413 Awarding Problems
The Golden Globes, now in its 53rd year, has undoubtedly become one of the most important comprehensive awards ceremonies in the United States today. For the Golden Globe Awards, commercial victory and focus are undoubtedly the top priorities. It is difficult for them to compete with Oscar in terms of professionalism and authority. Therefore, for them, hosting a national carnival is a primary goal.
But over the past two years, the Ballon d'Or has been hampered by one reason: Hugo Lancaster.
In 1992, "Smell the Scent and Know a Woman" and "Righteous Sea", "Sleepless in Seattle" and "Schindler's List" in 1993, "Pulp Fiction" in 1994, in three years, the Golden Globe Award A total of five acting nominations were given to Hugo, but they all returned empty-handed, especially last year when Hugo lost to Tom Hanks in the Best Actor competition, which surprised many people.
What followed was that Hugo missed the Golden Globes for two consecutive years, especially last year, when Hugo rejected the Golden Globes and chose the Sundance Film Festival, which embarrassed the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and the focus of the whole news went Totally unexpected. But in the end, the Best Actor award was picked up by Tom again. People will naturally say that it is because of Hugo's absence that the Golden Globes once again ignored Hugo's wonderful performance, and Hugo continued to refuse because of the ignorance of the Golden Globes. Attendance...a vicious circle.
But in fact, all of this is unintended. The Golden Globes naturally hope that Hugo can attend. As the most charismatic actor in the world today, Hugo's attendance is crucial to the Golden Globes. It's just that the development of things, including the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, was not expected by everyone. Last year, "Forrest Gump" defeated "Pulp Fiction". in an unpredictable direction.
Now, Hugo is the first person in Hollywood, and his absence is unacceptable for the Golden Globes; but at the same time, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association also knows that Hugo is kind and polite to people, although his relationship with reporters has always been unfavorable. How about it, but as long as the reporters don't take the initiative to provoke, Hugo is also very happy to be friendly. For example, the two fifteen-year-old paparazzi who have become famous recently, Hugo's attitude has always been very friendly; not to mention, Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company Now they are determined to break the pattern of the Hollywood brokerage industry, and they are also actively expanding their contacts. Hugo's attendance at the Golden Globes is also very necessary for them. They believe that Rick Rosen will take the initiative to promote this attendance.
So, it's a win-win situation.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced the nominees for the 53rd Golden Globe Awards two weeks ago, which quickly attracted the attention of countless people.
The five seats for best picture in the drama category are "Sense and Sensibility," "Apollo 13," "Braveheart," "Far From Las Vegas," and "The. Bridges. Of. Madison." County)" and the five seats for Best Picture in a Musical Comedy are split between "Baby Pig," "Pocahontas," "Short Man," "Toy Story" and "Before Sunrise."
This list of nominations can basically be said to include all the works that have been repeatedly mentioned by film critics at the end of the year, such as "Nixon Biography", "Life is Beautiful for You (Mr. Holland's. Opus)", "Death Row" and other works. It's an accident, but it's not an accident. These films, including "The White House Romance", "Short Man", "Before the Sunrise" and several other works, have almost the same quality of finished products, and it is normal for anyone to be selected.
However, in the end, "Before Sunrise" was selected.
When the nomination list came out, it was generally believed that it was a sign that the Golden Globes were showing goodwill to Hugo. One of the ten best picture seats was given to Hugo. You must know that Hugo's three works last year were in The overall strength is slightly inferior, especially "Before Sunrise" as an eclectic independent literary and artistic work, and from the generally overlooked Sundance Film Festival, won the best film in the musical comedy category. Nomination can be said to be a breakthrough.
Of course, "Before Sunrise" also has such qualifications. The film not only won the Silver Bear Award for Best Director at the Berlin Film Festival, but also the performance of the original script, actor and heroine are also wonderful, causing all-round attention. The praise of the nomination can be said to be well-deserved, but the "White House Romance" can defeat the "Seven Deadly Sins", "The Death Ramble", and "Life is Beautiful for You". Not a small hit.
In particular, "Away from the Casino" defeated "Death Ramble" to be among the top five drama works, which is really worth pondering.
The urgency of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association was vividly reflected in the nominations for the best director department. They actually gave six seats for the first time, Mel Gibson of "Braveheart" and Mike of "Away from Las Vegas". - Figgis, Ron Howard of Apollo 13, Lee of Sense and Sensibility. Ann, Tim Robbins of "Death Walk" and Martin Scorsese of "Casino" rounded out the final prize fight.
Among them, Martin's nomination is considered to be an upset, which is also a clear signal of the Golden Globes showing goodwill to Martin. It's obviously a pity that all four directors of "Dream" were turned away.
The two works of "Death Ramble" and "Away from Casino" are similar in style, quality, and level. Choosing one of the two is the best solution, but the results were all shortlisted and broke the five best director seats. Custom, abruptly added a seat.
Even at the Golden Globes, it was a rare sight.
In the competition for the best actor in a drama, Nicolas Cage of "Away from Las Vegas", Richard Dreyfuss of "Life Is Beautiful for You", and Anthony - Hopkins, "Richard III (Richard. III)" Ian - McLean, "Death Ramble" Hugo - Lancaster, to compete.
The most surprising thing is that Tom Hanks of "Apollo 13" was not selected, which is also widely regarded as the signal released by the Golden Globes: they are willing to reward Hugo this year!
Hugo was again seen in the list of best actor in a musical or comedy, "Before Sunrise" was shortlisted for this award, and the competition with Hugo included "Short Man" John Tra Volta, Michael Douglas in "Pocahontas", Harrison Ford in "Sabrina", Stie in "Father. Of. The. Pride. Part. II" husband-Martin.
This also means that Hugo has once again won double nominations for the Golden Globes, three times within four years. Such a feat is not only unprecedented, but probably also unprecedented. But that's not the end, Hugo has won four nominations this time! This is the biggest surprise at this year's Golden Globes.
In the competition for the best supporting actor, Hugo relied on the wonderful performance in "Seven Deadly Sins" to get a nomination seat, and he will once again compete with Brad Pitt of "Twelve Monkeys", which was also at the end of last year. The continuation of the hottest topic, the other three contenders are Kevin Spacey of "The Usual Suspects", Tim Ross of "Rob. Roy", and Ai of "Apollo 13" De Harris.
In addition, Hugo's "Before Sunrise" script was also nominated for best screenplay, along with Emma Thompson's "Sense and Sensibility", Tim Robbins' "Death Ramble", Len - Sorkin's "Pocahontas", Randall - Wallace (Randall. Wallace's "Braveheart", Scott - Frank (Scott. Frank's "Short Man") for the final competition .
In "The Shawshank Redemption" last year, Hugo joined the screenwriters as a participant to compete, but at that time people were more just watching the excitement, but through "Before the Sunrise", Hugo showed everyone His excellent writing ability is undoubtedly a positive affirmation to be shortlisted this time.
However, the Best Screenplay Award has set six more nomination seats, which is another wonder after the director department, which is worth pondering.
Hugo alone has included four nominations, three of which are nominations for acting across all departments of the actor, which is the first feat recorded in film history, even in the Golden Globes, where double yolks are extremely common, it is still amazing. , which also includes another duel between Hugo and Brad in the Best Supporting Actor department, which is really exciting.
The Golden Globes don't just pay attention to Hugo, they pay enough attention to the works that Hugo starred in as a whole. "Before Sunrise" also won Charlize Theron's first best musical comedy category in his life. Nominated for the leading actress, "Death Row" also won a place in the competition for the best actress in the drama category.
It can be said that in addition to the magnificent "Sense and Emotion" and "Braveheart", Hugo's three works have achieved impressive results in the nomination stage, which also shows the sincerity of the Golden Globe Awards.
But the question is, how will the awards go? Hugo has won eight acting nominations and two screenwriting nominations in four years, will he bear fruit this time? Hugo has won nominations in all three male actor divisions, and his momentum is extremely strong, but at the same time, the crisis of ticket distribution is unprecedented. Will Hugo return empty-handed again? If Hugo can win the award, what kind of award will it be? Will Hugo arrive at the scene in person, and if so, what will be the acceptance speech?
There is no doubt that the 53rd Golden Globe Awards has quickly become the focus of attention after the nominations were announced, and whether Hugo is willing to follow the smear incident of the 1992 Golden Globe Awards Gala Dinner, appearing in Hollywood again after a lapse of two years. Hilton Hotel, this is not only the hot spot that countless audiences are most concerned about, but also the most concerned topic of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
Long before the nominees came out, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association personally called Endeavour Elite Agency - expressing expectations for this year's awards ceremony in the name of a regular organization-to-organization greeting. However, the Endeavour Elite Agency has always been practicing Tai Chi, and only responded with official polite words, which also put a huge question mark on the upcoming Golden Globe Awards.
At this time, there is less than a week left before the official start of the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, but the Hollywood Foreign Press Association still has not received a reply from Rick Rosen.
