Chapter 637

The New Year of 1994 kicked off in a hustle and bustle, with Michael Jackson slaughtering. The child case ended in an out-of-court settlement, with Uma accompanying him. The sleep case took over and became the most lively topic at the beginning of the year, and in this hustle and bustle, various year-end inventory came one after another, and Hugo undoubtedly became the biggest focus in 1993.

Since its inception in 1974, "People" magazines have gradually become a part of American culture. They are one of the most accurate and effective magazines in the world. Since 1985, the magazine has selected the "Sexiest Men in the World" every year. "The title, Mel - Gibson, Tom - Cruise, John - F - Kennedy Jr. (John. F. Kennedy. Jr.), Sean - Connery (Sean. Connery) and others have won this title. .

"People" magazine's annual selection of the world's sexiest man is a title with special meaning, and "Time" Weekly has selected the annual man of the year since 1927. It covers all fields, and the selected object can be a man, a woman, a couple, a group, a place, a machine, or even an idea. a summary.

The same is true for the title of People magazine, which not only represents the charm of this man, but also a review of the past year, charming and popular, and has achieved great success in his own field. this title. Simply put, it is the man that People magazine considers to be the most representative of the past year, which is definitely a huge honor and can be considered a social and cultural symbol.

"Time" magazine selected a group of people of the year in 1993, "peacemakers", including Nelson - Mandela (Nelson. Mandela), Frederick - William - De Klerk (F.W. . DE. Klerk), Yasser - Arafat (Yasser. Arafat), Yitzhak - Rabin (Yitzhak. Rabin). In fact, these four figures are the Nobel Prize winners in 1993 and 1994, and their contributions to safeguarding human rights and maintaining peace in South Africa and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have been correspondingly recognized.

And "People" magazine awarded Hugo Lancaster the title of the world's sexiest man in 1993, and issued the magazine's last year-end special issue in 1993 with Hugo as the cover.

In a one-sentence review of the magazine, the editor-in-chief said, "From movies to music, from appearance to spirit, from youth to maturity, this man's charm is captivating, and his mesmerizing warm smile illuminated the entire 1993 ."

"People" concluded in a detailed report, "The huge success of 'Sleepless in Seattle' made Hugo a romantic image representative in the minds of all women, and subverted men's stereotypes about chick movies; 'Xin Dele's List' excellent performance subverted the stereotype of Hugo in everyone's mind, combining evil and sexy. The biggest hit, people are not surprised at all, because this is the right result brought by the power of Hugo.

'Almost Famous' became one of the best footnotes of the golden age of rock and roll in 1993. Glory to the Dead and Smashed Pumpkins, Goatskin, Stain, and Radiohead together constituted a new generation of forces that impacted the rock scene, and represented the current The Nirvana Band and Pearl Jam Band of the rock powers, Aerosmith and Rolling Eyes who represent the old rock powers, have formed a three-point world together, and the music market has once again entered the rock and roll era!

When appearance, talent, temperament and intelligence are all condensed into one person, Hugo Lancaster was born. After Barbra Streisand, the entertainment industry has once again emerged a well-rounded artist who can interpret both film and music well, opening up a new era that is eye-catching. "

It can be said that "People" magazine named Hugo the sexiest man in the world, which is the extreme of Hugo's brilliant achievements in 1993. Whether it is a movie frenzy or a rock and roll revival, Hugo can be seen. It's amazing that even if 1993 is called the year of Hugo, no one will object.

Not only "People" magazine, but also "Entertainment Weekly", "U.S. Weekly", "The New Yorker" and many other magazines have also locked Hugo in their selection of the person of the year.

In December and January alone, seven American magazines used Hugo as the cover, and there are countless reports focusing on Hugo, which also makes people clearly feel that Hugo is very hot today. popularity.

If one were to compare Hugo and Uma together, it would be a world of difference, with Hugo being Person of the Year in 1993 and Uma having just finished a movie The heroine's work is left unnoticed, and this strong discrepancy is one of the most realistic portrayals of Hollywood—or society as a whole.

But obviously this is not the extreme of the difference. With the emergence of the Golden Globe nomination list and the Grammy nomination list, this gap has been widened to a new limit step by step.

After the announcement of the nominations for the 51st Golden Globe Awards, Steven Spielberg undoubtedly became the biggest focus, with the outstanding performance of the two films "Schindler's List" and "Jurassic Park" This made Steven the only top filmmaker to rival Hugo in 1993.

"Schindler's List" won six major nominations, including Best Picture in a Drama Series, Best Director, Best Actor in a Drama Series, Best Supporting Actor, Best Screenplay, and Best Film Score.

The only work that can compete with "Schindler's List" is "Farewell to the Lovers", which was hyped not long ago by "The Tendency of Confrontation". The five nominations, including protagonist and best screenwriter, can almost be said to compete head-to-head with "Schindler's List" in all aspects.

In terms of actors, Hugo and Emma Thompson have once again become the focus of attention. Emma has won a double nomination at the Golden Globes this year after sweeping the award-winning actress title last year; Hugo is following last year. After that, for the second year in a row, he received a double nomination for acting.

Emma won the Best Supporting Actress nomination for "In. The. Name. Of. The. Father" for Best Actress in a Drama Series and "In. The. Name. Of. The. Father." The most popular top actresses today.

Hugo was nominated for Best Actor in a Musical Comedy for "Sleepless in Seattle", and "Schindler's List" brought him a Best Supporting Actor nomination, which not only continued Hugo's performance in the Golden Globes last year. The great achievement of double nominations at the Ball Awards, and it also further solidified Hugo's title as the most powerful new actor today. It can be said that among the actors under the age of 35, Hugo has gradually caught up with Tom. - Cruise's pace to become a top presence.

Two years ago, Hugo was still crying at the Golden Raspberry Awards, but now, Hugo has proved his strength with double Golden Globe nominations for two consecutive years. What is even more terrifying is that Hugo is in the After the Golden Raspberry Awards, all the four works have achieved box office success, and they have won the corresponding recognition for their acting skills. This is not only a 100% winning rate, but also a fact that shows Hugo's current acting strength with facts. .

Under such circumstances, even the academics who are known for being old-fashioned and serious cannot ignore Hugo's performance, because Hugo has proved himself with performances time and time again, and also made people realize that "Hudson Eagle" The failure of other works is only accidental, not inevitable.

So, there's no question that Hugo was in the spotlight when the Golden Globe nominations were announced, adding to the icing on the cake for Hugo's 1993 brilliance.

However, Hugo's double nominations failed to bear fruit last year, and the Oscar nominations even came back empty-handed. Although film critics complained about Hugo at the time, thinking that Hugo's performance was worthy of praise, the Academy's raspberry awards Repel or block Hugo's further progress; what about this year? Will Hugo's double nominations be recognized, and what will the Oscars do to Hugo?

Objectively speaking, Hugo does not have an advantage in the competition for best actor in a musical comedy, because Robin Williams' "Skinny Daddy" is obviously the most popular.

But in the competition for the best supporting actor, although Hugo has to face "a different sky" Leonardo DiCaprio, "Desperados" Tommy Lee Jones, "Fire Line Sniper" John - Malkovich and "Carlito's. Way" Sean Penn's siege, but Hugo still has a certain advantage, and it is very likely that Hugo will win the recognition of the first real acting award in his acting career.

Among them, the competition between Hugo and his friend Leonardo was also one of the hottest topics in the media after the nomination list came out.

But no matter whether he wins or not, being able to win the double Golden Globe nomination again is a huge affirmation for Hugo, which also pushes Hugo's performance in 1993 to a new height, even if the list of winners is not yet. out, but Hugo's strength has been undoubtedly recognized by the public.

Compared with Hugo's prosperity in the actor industry, the road to Glory's death in the music field is much more bumpy. After all, the name Hugo-Lancaster has been rolling in Hollywood for more than ten years, but Glory He has only just taken the first step in the world of music until his death, and he is definitely a complete newcomer.

The Grammy Awards are the most prestigious and authoritative awards in the field of music, and their status is similar to that of the Oscar in the film field. Americans always like to joke that Oscar is the father of the awards ceremony, while the Grammys It is the mother of awards ceremonies, which shows the important position of Grammys.

But Grammys are obviously not interested in such an independent band as Glory to Death, and they even debated the eligibility of Glory to Death for a time!
