One Thousand Six Hundred Seventy-Five Nomination Doubts

The list of winners of the Golden Globe Awards, where interests come first and entertainment to the death, is a similar and familiar routine every year. The art and checks and balances of dividing the cake have been brought to the extreme in the hands of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association; but dividing the cake is far from that simple. , how to master the balance, how to emphasize the key points, this is a knowledge, even for the annual Golden Globe Awards, the quality of the winners list in different years is also high and low.

This year, it's clear that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has done an excellent job.

Looking at the entire list of winners, it is basically certain that "12 Years a Slave", "American Hustle" and "Gravity" have quietly seized the leading position of the first group. If nothing else, this year's Oscar's best picture And the best director will be produced from it, and the specific pattern depends on their momentum to seize nominations in various departments and the subsequent academy public relations.

In addition to the three works, there are about five to ten works that form the second group, such as "Drunken Country Ballads", such as "Wolf of Wall Street", such as "She", and then "Philomena", these The works all have the probability of impacting the best film and the best director, and will also become the main force in each individual award.

Specifically subdivided into the competition for each individual award, the advantages of "American Hustle" are particularly obvious. "Dallas Buyers Club" also has strong strength in the actor department and "Blue Jasmine" in the actress department. In addition, works such as "Twelve Years a Slave", "Nebraska" and "Captain Phillips" also have the ability to be longer or shorter in each individual item by virtue of the influence of the work.

And of course, Renly Hall, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, Joaquin Phoenix, Judi Dench, Sandra Bullock, Meryl S. Actors such as Tripp, Julia Roberts, Michael Fassbender, Daniel Bruch, etc. have the possibility to stand out by relying on their own strength and profound background.

The reason why the list of winners of the 71st Golden Globe Awards was able to find an even and stable balance in the situation of dividing the cake, and then gained corresponding industry recognition, is because the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is outside the first group. Cleverly captures the intersection of checks and balances in academy PR.

Except for the best actor in the musical comedy category, which was accidentally won by Leonardo DiCaprio, the other five acting award seats have been subtly checked and balanced, and found between the strength of the work and the strength of the actors. The best solution; even Leonardo's win over the other four contenders could be seen as "American Hustle," "Nebraska," "Drunken Country Ballad," and "Her." After the fierce battle between them, the inevitable outcome of the "Wolf of Wall Street" is to enjoy the benefits of the fisherman.

In other words, the final list of winners of the Golden Globes also indicates to a large extent that the final list of Oscar winners this year is not just a nomination list, but a list of winners.

"Entertainment Weekly"'s praise and admiration for the Golden Globes has received numerous criticisms and complaints, and many people believe that they are losing their lower limits and bottom lines; but industry insiders are able to peel off the essence of on-site capture, from "Entertainment Weekly" "Behind the reports, we see Warner Bros., Fox Searchlight and Sony Columbia.

They hope that the results of the Golden Globes can become the results of the Oscars, and naturally they spare no effort to push in this direction.

As competitors, Focus Pictures, Weinstein Pictures and Sony Classics have different mentality and made the same choice.

Focus Pictures is responsible for the release of "Dallas Buyers Club", which has locked in two awards in the actor department this year; Sony Classics is responsible for the release of "Blue Jasmine" and "Drunken Country Ballads",

This year, the four major awards in the actor department were also locked. The two companies gave up the best picture and best director at the same time, specializing in the acting department. They can also happily accept the results of the Golden Globe Awards, and look forward to the Oscar nomination list to follow the current trend. As development progressed, the opposing voices quieted down.

Finally, there's Weinstein Pictures, who lost a lot this year.

Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman in Railroad, Marion Cotillard and Joaquin Phoenix in Immigrants, Idris Elba in Mandela -elba) and Naomie-Harris, Best Picture and Best Director for "Fruittville Station," Forest Whitaker and Oprah Wing for "The White House Butler" Fury, Ryan Gosling for "Only God Forgives" and Best Director, Best Foreign Language Film for "The Grand Master"

These works cover a number of academic works of different themes, different fields and styles, such as the European department, the American department, the black department, and the autobiographical department, from Sundance to the three major European film festivals in Berlin, Cannes and Venice, and then to New York. And Toronto's two major film festivals in North America, big waves and layers of screening, the Weinstein brothers selected this year's Oscar seeds.

However, as the awards season progressed slowly, these works were completely wiped out. Oprah Winfrey of "The White House Steward" was very hopeful to hit the awards in the supporting actress department. Before entering January, it was even more fierce, but then Encountered the fierce pursuit of the same type of work "Twelve Years a Slave", Lupita Nyong'o was born with her debut performance, and her attitude was even better than that of Jennifer Lawrence and Renly Hall. Even more prominently.

By the time the Golden Globe Awards ceremony was held, the Weinstein brothers had few cards left. "Philomena" and "August: Osage County" were the only remaining seeds. The former was slightly lighter. The competitiveness is slightly less; the latter is all settled on the two actresses Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts.

This also makes the Weinstein brothers a little lonely. The Oscar nominees have not yet come out, and they have already collapsed in the first stage of academy PR, even Meryl Streep and Judi Dench's best actress , Julia - Roberts' best supporting actress, they also seem a little powerless.

Next, Weinstein Pictures is bound to continue to work hard on the academy's public relations, hoping to complete the comeback in the sprint stage, and they will never surrender easily; -Weinstein will never refuse.

Because of a variety of subjective and objective reasons, "Entertainment Weekly"'s evaluation of the Golden Globe Awards has been affirmed by the mainstream in the industry.

In every way, things are getting worse for Renly.

According to the results of the Golden Globe Awards, "American Hustle" in the musical comedy department will soon start a battle with "Dallas Buyers Club" and "Blue Jasmine" in the drama department to determine the four major acting awards. trend; and the best picture and best director are "12 Years a Slave", "American Hustle" and "Gravity" three major battles.

In other words, there is no place for Renly.

It was before the Golden Globes; it was a little shaken on the night of the awards ceremony; it was the same after the Golden Globes. Not because Renly's works are not good enough, but precisely because Renly's performances are too good, "for the long-term future of young actors" and "for the future development of other Hollywood actors", the Academy "had to" choose to give up Renly and let Renly go. Others win more chances.

That's what's trending throughout awards season.

From "Drunken Folk Ballad" to the top of Cannes, to "Gravity" becoming famous in Venice and Toronto, and then to the "Two Best Actors" in the awards season, the momentum of the "Two Best Actors" was unparalleled; Even the nomination seat is in jeopardy, and even Warner Bros. and Sony Classics, with their best PR efforts, seem to be powerless.

Who would have imagined that Renly, who just won the egot and dedicated the best year of his career, is now on the verge of being squeezed out of the Oscar nomination?

Some are absurd, some are funny, some are true and some are irresistible.

Just one week after the 71st Golden Globe Awards ceremony came to an end, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences officially announced the nominations for the 86th Academy Awards.

Compared with the fierce controversy caused by "Escape from Tehran" last year, this year's awards season films lacked the most outstanding Big Mac works, but the average quality of the overall works was highly recognized, especially the four big ones. The actor department is considered to be a rare "big year", and the nomination stage has already fallen into a fierce battle, which also makes the announcement of the nomination list attract more attention.

The much-anticipated nomination department is not best picture or best director, but best actor.

Everyone is wondering, can Renly be nominated? More importantly, can Renly be nominated for the fourth year in a row?

In the long history of the Oscars, only two actors have been nominated for acting awards for four consecutive years, Marlon Brando from 1951 to 1954 and Al Pacino from 197 to 1975. feat.

The most commendable thing is that Malone won such honors when he was twenty-seven to thirty years old, and he was the best actor all four times; while Al received such affirmation from the age of thirty-two to thirty-five. , three best actor and one best supporting actor. In other words, both actors were young and famous and reached the top.

Among them, Ma Long reached the top for the first time with "Wharf Wind and Cloud" when he was 30 years old; and Al waited until he was 53 years old before he won the actor Xiaojin Man for the first time with "Smell the fragrance and know a woman". Winning four consecutive acting nominations all fell through. The difference in the treatment of the two talented actors can be seen. Hollywood's harshness and criticality for young actors is gradually deepening with the advancement of time.

Now, all eyes are on Renly, after the twenty-four-year-old egot, will he be able to complete the feat of four consecutive acting award nominations at the age of twenty-four?

The five finalists in the competition for Best Actor are:

Matthew McConaughey of Dallas Buyers Club, Chiwetel Ejiofor of 12 Years a Slave, Christian Bale of American Hustle, Bruce Deng of Nebraska Well, there's Gravity's Renly Hall!
