1138 Doesn't matter
In New York in January, heavy snowfalls shrouded the entire city in the cold, and there were even blizzard warnings. Life on the east coast became tense and low-key. It seemed that every winter needed to be repeated. People feel the powerful deterrent force of nature.
Los Angeles in January is still sunny and warm as spring. The tall palm trees, spacious streets and golden sunshine are filled with intoxicating comfort. It seems that as long as you sit in a convertible and open your arms, you can be free. Soar, then stand on top of the world, overlooking all living beings.
The dampness and coldness of the East Coast are in stark contrast to the warmth of the West Coast. More and more people are heading towards Los Angeles, escaping the winter far away, and then joining the carnival of the awards season, as if they can just stand on that piece of land. Forget all your worries and live happily and joyfully forever.
2012The awards season of 2020 is ushering in the second phase of the finale, and the 70th Golden Globe Awards Ceremony has made its debut.！
It is worth mentioning that Renly was absent from the awards ceremony for the second consecutive year after last year. However, this time he did not attract much discussion and attention..
Although Renly has been the top topical figure in the past year, he has gradually fallen behind in the craze of awards season and faded out of people's sight. In Hollywood, where the focus of hot topics changes with each passing day, "Blue" The topic of "Li-Hall" seems to have become a living fossil in ancient times: classics are classics, but no one talks about it anymore.
As Renly's agent, Andy Rogers issued an official statement early, emphasizing the regret of not being able to attend the Golden Globe Awards this year..
The main reason is not "drunk folk songs", but "gravity"”.
The film was currently being filmed in full swing, and the completion time could not be determined, so when the Hollywood Foreign Press Association sent out an invitation, after weighing and deliberation, Renly could only refuse with regret. Although the film has been completed, Renly still missed it. Opportunity to attend the awards ceremony.
But for Renly and the "Transcendence" crew, it's a relief.
Throughout December and January, Tony Kaye traveled around major film festivals, including Berlin, Stockholm, Sundance, and Tokyo. It was not to promote "transcendence", but Discuss the concepts and ideas of "detachment" with those art creators, and confirm each other's concepts and ideas about art..
In Tony's words, "I'm inspiring the next work..”
Tony even made a special trip to the Surrey photography base to visit Renly. However, Renly, who was devoted to his work, had no time to entertain him, and he didn't care. Instead, he had a long chat with Alfonso Cuaron. I stayed in Surrey for a long time and felt that I benefited a lot from it..
After leaving the hustle and bustle of awards season, a lot can be accomplished in two or three months..
This is Tony, this is Renly.
“"Gravity" was able to complete the filming without any distractions, largely due to Tony's chic and casual nature..
In this regard, Renly also sincerely expressed his gratitude to Tony, and Tony's response was, "Haha, it's best not to let the producers and directors of other film companies hear this, otherwise they will not dare to invite you to star in the future..”
“The crew of "Transcendence" was absent during the awards season, and no one expressed regret or regret; similarly, when Renly was missing during the awards season, no one expressed sighs or condolences. Perhaps, this is a win-win situation..
At least judging from the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, Renly's absence did not create too many waves. It was still star-studded, topic-filled, and wonderful.！
Compared to Renly as an actor, there are obviously more hot topics at this year's awards ceremony. The fierce competition between a series of works such as "Escape from Tehran" and "Lincoln" has undoubtedly created countless topics, and they are all in the Hollywood pyramid. Top celebrities, all this makes the award ceremony a hot topic that attracts much attention.
When the award ceremony ended, even though the cake was divided as usual, the Golden Globes successfully made the topic further fermented..
"Les Misérables", which had a mediocre reputation during its release, became the biggest winner by virtue of its dominance in the musical comedy category, including the best movie in the musical comedy category, the best actor in a musical comedy, and the best supporting actress. Overcoming the decline, the prospect of Oscars has risen sharply again, which seems to have confirmed the speculations of film critics.：
“This may not be an excellent work, but it is more in line with Oscar's preferences.”
In the musical comedy category, "Les Misérables" comprehensively defeated "Silver Linings Playbook," which has begun to slow down since the Toronto Film Festival, adding more suspense to its Oscar prospects..
In addition, "Escape from Tehran" attracted much attention, winning the best film and best director in the drama category..
Ben Affleck has been criticized in his career as an actor and after ten years of controversial acting career, he finally shined in the director's position this year and became the top seed in this year's Best Director statuette competition. It can be said that the spring breeze is proud of.
After the awards ceremony, Ben Affleck got so carried away that he started to lose his temper.
Amid the wild celebrations, he boasted in front of many of his peers that he was the perfect candidate for this year's best director; and emphasized his talent after winning the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay in 1997 for "Good Will Hunting." It has always been ignored, and now it can finally be proven..
Such unbridled nonsense quickly became a hot topic of discussion in the industry and caused a lot of dissatisfaction..
In addition, "Django Unchained" won two trophies for Best Supporting Actor and Best Screenplay. It is still a player that cannot be underestimated in this year's Oscar battle; during the nomination stage, it was strong with seven nominations The leading actor "Lincoln" only received one award for Best Actor in a Drama Series, which was a bit disappointing..
Finally, the Best Actress in a Musical Comedy category was won by Jennifer Lawrence for "Silver Linings Playbook", and the Best Actress in a Drama Series went to Jessica Chastain for "Silver Linings Playbook". The main theme of the competition between the two actors will continue all the way to the Oscars. No one can say for sure until the end..
After the Golden Globe Awards ceremony ended, some people were happy and others were worried, but it is undeniable that this year’s cake-sharing drama, to some extent, did light the way forward for the Oscar Awards ceremony..
Just three days after the Golden Globe Awards ended, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences officially announced the nomination list for the 85th Oscars. This also ushered in the final battle of the second stage of the awards season. The nomination battle has officially concluded. settle down！
After the expansion of the number of nominations for Best Picture, the nomination list every year has become a battleground for military strategists. Even if they miss the chance to compete for Best Picture, they are at least among the top ten nominees. This means that further breakthroughs can be made in business and the Oscars The nomination effect is crucial for both independent film companies and independent works.
There are a total of nine works nominated this year.
“Escape from Tehran," "Lincoln," "Life of Pi," "To Kill for You," "Silver Linings Playbook," "Love," "Les Misérables," "Django Unchained" and " "Beasts of the Southern Country" successfully reached the decisive stage together..
Among them, "Beasts of the Southern Wild", which successfully won the Jury Prize at Sundance last year, is undoubtedly the biggest surprise. It broke the biggest upset in the nomination stage and once again followed the fine tradition of Sundance productions-continuous For four years, there have been seeded candidates shortlisted for Oscar nominations, which is really eye-catching..
Although this work received a lot of praise at the Cannes Film Festival, during the awards season, it suffered from the lack of public relations of the Academy. It has always been tepid and almost forgotten. It even won the Golden Globe Award. It didn't even get a single nomination. Unexpectedly, it achieved a huge reversal during the Oscar nomination stage. It was parachuted into the nomination list even though it was not favored..
But that's not all.
The five nominees for Best Director are Steven Spielberg for "Lincoln", Lee Ang for "Life of Pi", and Michael Haneke for "Love". ), "Silver Linings Playbook's" David O. Russell, and "Beasts of the Southern Wild"'s Benh-Zeitlin）.
shocking upset！
First of all, the little-known young director Benn Zeitlin reversed the nomination. This director has just turned thirty this year. "Beasts of the Southern Wild" is his second personal film. He had almost no fame or reputation before. Even in the independent film circle, it is extremely low-key, but now it has entered the top five for best director..
Secondly, Michael Haneke is a strong nominee. This German director, who is famous in Europe for his "White Ribbon", "Hidden Camera" and "The Piano Teacher", this year dedicated the classic masterpiece "Love" that swept Europe and the United States.”.
As a foreign language film, it has been rising steadily during the American awards season. Although no one is optimistic about it, it has won the best picture, best director, best actress, best original screenplay, best foreign language film, etc. Five nominations came out of nowhere. Among them, the counterattack of Best Director was second only to Ben Zeitlin's Killing Away in shock..
Once again, "Escape from Tehran"'s Ben Affleck is out！
Throughout the entire awards season, Affleck, who was considered the most likely contender for this year's Best Director Oscar, was eliminated during the Oscar nomination stage, creating an incredible upset..
Rumor has it that after the nomination list came out, Ben Affleck, who was preparing to celebrate his first career Oscar nomination for Best Director at a banquet, cursed, smashed the wine table, and walked away..
Moreover, this anger has not stopped. In the following days, Affleck repeatedly stated at private banquets that this was a "witch trial" and that the judges were "just jealous" and also believed that "this is a witch trial." "It is the biggest stain in the history of the Oscars." He spattered at the mouth, blushed, and tried every means to express his dissatisfaction..
Even though friends such as Matt Damon and George Clooney kept trying to dissuade him, it was like a bullock cart that was out of control and couldn't be caught..
Fortunately, Affleck finally maintained a trace of reason and did not curse in front of the media..
Is this all?？
no.
