Chapter 187 Chapter 187

As the world's film center, Hollywood easily attracts entertainment reporters from all over the world. Professional film magazines outside North America will set up offices in Los Angeles and send reporters stationed here to report on the American film industry. As a result, these foreign journalists established an organization over time to help each other, which is the embryonic form of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association established the Golden Globe Awards in 1944, which was originally just a special film award, but after 1956, TV awards were also added, covering the fields of film and TV, and became a comprehensive awards ceremony. The Golden Globe Awards ceremony is usually held in mid-January and is generally considered to be the vane of the Oscars. At the same time, the Golden Globe Awards is also one of the most well-run film and television awards in the United States, and its worldwide influence can be called the top.

However, the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association have always remained at around 90. It can be said that it is not a huge organization. Due to the limitation of the number of members, this also makes it easier for personal inclinations to influence the direction of the Golden Globe Awards. In other words, bribery and bribery are easier to operate and easier to execute.

This shortcoming has caused the Golden Globe Awards to be questioned countlessly after entering the second half of the first decade of the 21st century, and it has also caused the authority of the Golden Globe Awards to decline all the way. Inferior to the Emmy Awards, therefore, compared to the authority, the entertainment function of the Golden Globe Awards is getting bigger and bigger. But even so, the Golden Globes are still one of the most influential film awards ceremonies in the world besides the Oscars.

Especially in the early 1990s, many awards ceremonies were immature, and the Sundance Film Festival, which became the banner of independent films in the future, has just started, but it has only been held for eight times; , Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards do not hold an awards ceremony; and the influential North American Broadcasting Film Critics Association Awards have not even been established in the future. Under such circumstances, the influence of the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony should not be underestimated.

Before the arrival of the 21st century, the Golden Globe Awards was the most watched film awards ceremony in North America after the Oscars. Its influence and authority have won a lot of recognition. It can be said that winning the Golden Globe Award is very important for film and television workers. It is an extremely important affirmation.

This year, the Golden Globe Awards has come to its 50th year, and as always, it has caused countless discussions. The announcement of the nomination list also means that the atmosphere of the awards ceremony has gradually increased.

Before that, Hugo didn't have much concept of this at all, because the awards ceremony seemed very far away for him, even if both films had achieved good results, and Hugo remembered that the two films were at the awards ceremony I have achieved good results, but now I am in it, but I don't have much sense of reality. Hugo always looks at the award ceremony from the perspective of "that's all someone else's business", so he doesn't care too much at all. . Until today.

"The nominations for the Golden Globe Awards are out? Then what?" Hugo looked at the newspaper in his hand. The headline on the front page was "The Nominations for the 50th Golden Globe Awards Are Hotly Published", and the subtitle read "'Yihai Xiongfeng' 5 Nominated as the biggest winner."

"You won the nomination?" Joseph didn't seem to understand Hugo's question, and asked instead, as if to say, "You've already won the nomination, so what else do you want?"

Hugo was stunned for a while. He first realized that "Yihai Xiongfeng" had won five nominations, and then realized that he had also won the nomination, and the smile on his face suddenly bloomed. Although the film critics had affirmed Hugo's performance before this, making Hugo believe that his performance did not destroy the masterpiece in memory, but now, the award ceremony has given the nomination affirmation, which makes Hugo even more. The joy in my heart suddenly exploded.

Hugo couldn't wait to open the "Los Angeles Times" in his hand, flipped through the pages of the nomination list with trembling fingers, and read it carefully.

The film awards of the Golden Globe Awards are divided into two parts: drama and musical comedy. "The Hero of the Sea" and "Scent of a Woman" are both drama works, so there are also several awards between the two. Overlapping occurs and competition arises.

"The Hero of the Sea of ​​Righteousness" was nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Best Screenplay; "Scent of a Woman" won four nominations, except for losing the Best Director , and the other four awards completely overlap with "Yihai Xiongfeng", but the nominees are slightly different. "Smell the Scent and Know a Woman" was not nominated for Best Director, fulfilling Robert Redford, the director of "Love in the River". Although "Love in the River" was dropped in all other departments, the nomination for only one Best Director still achieved a huge success. success.

In the musical comedy category, the cartoon "Aladdin" dominated, relying on three nominations for best original song and five nominations for best picture in musical comedy and best soundtrack, and "Yihai" Xiongfeng" goes hand in hand, but with a slightly lower gold content. Robert Altman (Robert. Altman) directed "The Player (The. Player)" is the leader in live-action movies, won the best film in a musical comedy, best director, best actor in a musical comedy, Four nominations for Best Screenplay.

In addition, works such as "Nuns Are Crazy", "Ben. Can", "Unforgivable", "Chaplin", "Howards. End" have also won a lot of nominations, and this year took a place at the awards ceremony.

The two works starring Hugo, "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" and "The Righteous Sea," won four and five nominations respectively, and were among the best on the nomination list, continuing the line that was well received by the media and outstanding at the box office during the previous release. The strong momentum at the end of the year continued.

In the artist's personal department, Hugo and Al - Pacino, Jack - Nicholson, Miranda - Richardson (Miranda. Richardson) four people have joined forces to become the object of everyone's attention.

Al relied on the excellent performances of "Scent and Knowing a Woman" and "Glengarry. Glen. Ross" and won the nominations for Best Actor in a Drama Series and Best Supporting Actor; Jack was in "Hoffa" and "Righteousness". Another wonderful performance in Hai Xiongfeng, also won a place in the best actor and best supporting actor in the drama category; Miranda's two works "Enchanted. April" and "Fire Lover" (Damage)" earned her nominations for Best Actress in a Musical-Comedy and Best Supporting Actress, respectively, and finally Hugo.

The 25-year-old young man has been nominated for the Golden Raspberry Award three times in two years and even won a trophy for the worst actor in the Golden Raspberry Award. Only less than a year later, he succeeded. Completed a huge breakthrough, with the outstanding acting skills of "The Hero of the Sea of ​​Righteousness" and "Scent of a Woman", which made people applaud, at the same time, he was nominated in the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor departments in the drama category!

This also makes Hugo, Al, Jack, and Miranda four actors who have won double nominations at this year's Golden Globe Awards at the same time! And the three actors are still fighting in the same department! What's even more interesting is that Hugo has cooperated with Al and Jack at the same time. This kind of competitive relationship is amazing.

Under such circumstances, the best actor and best supporting actor in the drama category have become the two awards that people are most curious about. In the Best Actor in a Drama category, Robert Downey Jr. of "Chaplin" joined forces with Denzel. Washington of "Malcolm. X"; and The other two nominees for Best Supporting Actor in the Supporting Actor category for both drama and musical comedy are Gene. Hackman for "Unforgiven" and "Mr. Saturday Night". (Mr. Saturday. Night)” by David. Paymer.

In fact, although the double nomination is very popular, it is easy to divide the votes when selecting awards, that is, when people vote, some people choose the first work, and some people choose another work; In other words, some people supported the supporting role department, and the main role department voted for someone else, but the other person was switched over. In the end, both nominations came to nothing. Therefore, double nominations reduce the chance of winning the award.

But it is undeniable that being able to win double nominations is a huge affirmation for the actor in itself, and whether to win the award or not is another matter. Especially on Hugo, all this is even more incredible.

When Nicholas Maclen commented on the nomination list, he specifically mentioned Hugo, "It's hard to imagine that eleven months ago, we were still laughing at Lancaster for being the first person in film history to come to the stage to receive golden raspberries. Award actor, even amused by the embarrassment he cried on stage; but eleven months later, we have to applaud Lancaster for winning a double Golden Globe nomination, look at Lancaster The actor names Pacino, Nicholson, Richardson, who won double nominations together, just such a transcript is enough for us to give him a standing ovation.

Now looking back at Lancaster's performance at the Golden Raspberry Awards, we have to admire his generosity, calmness and humor. Perhaps, only a truly outstanding actor would dare to admit his own mistakes so boldly and directly, and also have the courage to ridicule and ridicule himself, a courage that not everyone can have. Lancaster's breakthrough also started with the Golden Raspberry Award. After that, Lancaster came to a painful conclusion, so first there was "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman", and then there was "Righteous Sea Heroes".

Incredible. "

After reading all this, Hugo still felt a little unrealistic. He not only achieved a self-breakthrough and completed the feat of turning a salted fish over, but also won double nominations by relying on two works, which is the first double nomination in his life. ——In the first year of his real starring role, even if this is just the affirmation of the Golden Globe Award, it is enough to make Hugo grateful.

"I succeeded?" Hugo asked blankly with his mouth open slightly.

Joseph originally wanted to make fun of Hugo, but seeing Hugo's expression, he finally didn't say anything, but nodded vigorously, "I think so."

The smile at the corner of Hugo's mouth widened little by little, blossomed little by little, and finally released like the sun.
