2083 Chapter 2083 Golden Globe Dilemma
In 1999, the last year of the new millennium, the hustle and bustle of the movie market and the music market had accumulated enough power, and everything seemed to be waiting for the moment of explosion, and the legend of the "millennium bug" crisis gradually reached its peak , so that people have reason to believe that after entering the 21st century, everything will start from scratch.
In this wave, the fifty-sixth Golden Globe Awards kicked off on January 24th.
In fact, the attention of this year's Golden Globe Awards has reached unprecedented heights, not because of the works on the nomination list, nor because of the guests who attended the scene, but because the concept of "award season" appeared before people's eyes for the first time . As the most influential awards ceremony in the United States besides the Oscars, the Golden Globes have always been considered the "Oscar weathervane", and this year is even more so. This title has truly been given to the Golden Globes—because every Everyone knows very well that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is actually relying on guesswork to gain a foothold in the market.
As the first year of the commemorative awards season, people are looking forward to: how closely the list of Golden Globes and the Oscars will overlap.
Especially in the past few years, there have been many jaw-dropping and dumbfounding results in the final list of the Golden Globe Awards, which is even more eye-catching this year. No one knows what kind of answer sheet the Golden Globes will hand over and what impact it will have on the Oscars.
But for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the hidden worry in the joy almost made Michael Russell lose his hair. At present, the Golden Globes can win so much attention, which is the result of Michael's painstaking efforts in the past three years. There's no need for nominations or guest gimmicks this year, just the list of winners is impressive enough, and it's a huge nod to Michael's work.
But! Hugo Lancaster will be absent from this year's awards ceremony again. Before the nomination list for the Golden Globes comes out, Hugo has already confirmed that he will not attend-this time the reason is known to all Hollywood: Hugo is concentrating on He was so involved in the adaptation of "A Beautiful Mind" that he didn't even show up for the premiere of "The Devil" by his best friend Charlize.
The reason could not be clearer, but it is undoubtedly a huge blow to Michael's work, and even more terrifying is that Leonardo DiCaprio, Alexander Lorraine, Tobey Marquette Er and others will all be absent from the awards ceremony, and the chain reaction almost caught Michael off guard.
Not to mention whether these people can win nominations, and what capacity they will be present at the awards ceremony, but what is certain is that these people are currently the most watched actors in the United States. For the ceremony, it was undoubtedly a huge blow.
And Michael still doesn't know how far-reaching Hugo's influence is. If he confronts Hugo head-on, how many people in Hollywood will be willing to stand on the side of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association? In fact, what Michael can be sure of is that everyone will still support the Golden Globes. After all, the relationship between Hugo and the Golden Globes is just a personal grievance. No one will bet on their own career prospects, but Michael has no way to be sure. Those invisible influences—such as influence, such as attention, such as authority, such as attention—these invisible factors are precisely the most important part of an awards ceremony, and also determine the "economics" of an awards ceremony. interest” decision-making process.
More importantly, Hugo's works are absolutely excellent every time, even the academy can hardly ignore it, let alone the Golden Globe Award?
Therefore, Michael could not beat or scold Hugo, and he still had to greet Hugo with a smile all over his face.
After the media confirmed the news, it was already 1999, but this did not affect the good mood of the uncrowned kings in the slightest. People are wondering: Is the Golden Globe going to award Hugo this year?
In fact, the Golden Globe Awards last year awarded the Best Actor Award in the Drama category to Hugo of "LA Confidential", and expressed his appreciation to Hugo. The protagonist, Hugo, can also be said to have gained a lot at the Golden Globes.
However, the Best Screenplay Award for "As Good as It Gets" lost to Ben Affleck and Matt Damon of "Good Will Hunting". Although the Golden Globe Awards have always played the technology of dividing cakes perfectly, this is commercial interest. The necessary skills to maximize; but this decision made people sigh again - it's not an accident, but I feel that the bad debt between the Golden Globes and Hugo really can't be settled, especially after Oscar's "Death Row" After Strolling", it once again contradicted the Golden Globe Awards, and awarded the best original screenplay statuette to "As Good as It Gets". Now Michael's mouth was full of bitterness.
So, what does the prospect hold for this year's Hugos at the Golden Globes?
Among the nomination lists announced in mid-December, "Saving Private Ryan", "The Truman Show", and "Shakespeare in Love" undoubtedly became the biggest winners. Nominations and six nominations led the way, driving the wave of awards season to the Golden Globes.
Interestingly, the number of nominations for "Saving Private Ryan" is less than that of "Shakespeare in Love", while "The Truman Show" took the leading position. This pattern really makes people have to think too much. But no matter how much you think about it, it's just a guess. The real ending still depends on the list of winners.
On January 24th, the Hollywood Hilton Hotel was star-studded and star-studded, but Hugo's absence for seven consecutive years still dimmed the red carpet, coupled with Leonardo's absence, it made many reporters feel uneasy Complaining; not even a roster of Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon can erase the heart sorry.
However, Heath Ledger, who was born out of "Saving Private Ryan", made many people's eyes shine, like a ray of fresh wind, adding a lot of style to the red carpet.
After the four-hour awards ceremony ended, one of the most important ceremonies of the awards season came to an end amidst people's discussions. There were not many surprises, but it was also full of countless variables.
In the race for Best Picture Drama, "Saving Private Ryan," "The Thin Red Line," "The. Horse. Whisperer," "Elizabeth," "The People" Gods and Beasts (Gods. And. Monsters)" entered the final competition.
These five works can be said to have a lot of topics, but the real focus has always been on "Saving Private Ryan" and "The Thin Red Line". Almost everyone knows that the final winner will be one of the two . In the end, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association chose "Saving Private Ryan", a regrettable but uncontroversial choice, because if the winner of the ending was another work, people's evaluation would be the same, and the two works The rivalry between them is already a victory in itself.
This pattern has continued to compete for other awards in the drama category!
The five nominees for Best Actor in a Leading Role in a Drama Series are Sean Penn for "The Thin Red Line," Tom Hanks for "Saving Private Ryan" and Stephen Fry for "Wilde." Stephen. Fry), "Gods and Beasts" Ian McKellen (Ian. McKellen), "Misery" Nick Nolte.
Among them, Sean and Tom are undoubtedly the most popular actors. The strength of the other three actors is not weak, and they have the ability to overthrow the big hits. However, the biggest feature of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is the "way of balance". Even if there is a dark horse, it can always find balance in other places. Generally speaking, the overall trend is relatively stable, and this year is no exception.
In the end, Tom Hanks relied on his outstanding performance in "Saving Private Ryan". After "Forrest Gump" in 1994, he won the award again after four years. The only actor who can compare to Hugo. America's "Two Toms" - Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise, can be said to be the two pillars that cannot be ignored in the entire film market.
This time, Tom made another career peak with "Saving Private Ryan", which made people look impressive, and he deserved to win in the end. However, in contrast to this, the Best Actress Award in the drama category was an upset, which made many people frown.
Cate Blanchett in "Elizabeth", Fernanda Montenegro in "Central Station", Charlize Cy in "The Devil" Long, Meryl Streep of "One. True. Thing", Emily Watson of "Hilary. And. Jackie", Became the final top five players.
Although this year's contenders are strong, including the critically acclaimed "Central Station" and "She's Lonely Than Fireworks", Meryl, who has already entered the ranks of old dramas, even Kate, who won the nomination for the first time, has been well received by everyone. Unanimous praise; but no one can deny that Charlize's performance in "The Devil" is so good that it eclipses the others, and it is still the biggest favorite.
However, this year's Golden Globes once again tried to show their "different". "White" turned out to be an Australian actress who upset Charlize to win the award.
Although Charlize is only twenty-three years old this year, and Kate is six years older than Charlize, in terms of age, it seems logical for Kate to win the award; but in the eyes of many people, this result is absolutely It was unpopular, and it can even be said that it was a result that shook the trend of the entire awards season.
From this perspective, it can also be seen that the Golden Globe Awards, which has been devoting itself to the art of balance, are indeed standing in a sensitive and warm position. An ambiguous crossroads.
