1675 Nomination doubts
The list of winners of the Golden Globe Awards, where profit is paramount and entertainment is paramount, follows a similar and familiar routine every year. The art and checks and balances of dividing the cake are brought to an extreme in the hands of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association; but dividing the cake is far from that simple. , how to master the balance and how to emphasize the key points is a science. Even at the Golden Globe Awards, which always share the cake, the quality of the winners' lists in different years varies..
This year, it's clear that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has done a great job.
Looking at the entire list of winners, it is basically certain that "12 Years a Slave", "American Hustle" and "Gravity" have quietly occupied the leading position in the first group. If nothing else, this year's Oscar's best picture and Best Director will emerge from it. The specific pattern will depend on their momentum in seizing nominations in various departments and the subsequent Academy public relations..
In addition to the three works, there are about five to ten works that constitute the second group, such as "The Ballad of Drunken Country", such as "The Wolf of Wall Street", such as "Her", and such as "Philomena", etc. The works have the chance to hit the best film and best director, and will also become the main force in each individual award..
Specifically broken down into the competition for individual awards, "American Hustle" has a particularly obvious advantage. "Dallas Buyers Club" also has strong strength in the actor department and "Blue Jasmine" in the actress department. In addition, works such as "12 Years a Slave", "Nebraska" and "Captain Phillips" have also relied on the influence of their works to have the ability to compete in each individual category..
Of course, there are Renly Hall, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, Joaquin Phoenix, Judi Dench, Sandra Bullock, Meryl Tripp, Julia Roberts, Michael Fassbender, Daniel Brühl and other actors have the possibility to stand out due to their strong strength and profound heritage..
The reason why the list of winners of the 71st Golden Globe Awards was able to find a stable balance in the situation of dividing the cake, and then received corresponding industry recognition, is because the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is outside the first group. Cleverly captures the intersection of checks and balances in academic public relations.
Except for the Best Actor in a Musical Comedy category, which was unexpectedly won by Leonardo DiCaprio, the other five acting award-winning seats have skillfully completed checks and balances, finding a balance between the strength of the work and the strength of the actors. Best case scenario; even Leonardo's victory over the other four contenders can be seen as four strong competitions: "American Hustle", "Nebraska", "The Balladeer" and "Her" After a fierce fight between the two, the inevitable outcome is that the "Wolf of Wall Street" will take advantage of the situation..
In other words, the final list of Golden Globe winners largely predicts the direction of this year's Oscars final list - not just the list of nominees, but the list of winners..
“Entertainment Weekly's praise and admiration for the Golden Globe Awards has received numerous criticisms and complaints. Many people believe that they are losing their lower limit and bottom line; but industry insiders are able to strip away the essence of on-site capture and start from "Entertainment Weekly" Warner Bros., Fox Searchlight and Sony Columbia are faintly seen behind the report——
They hope that the results of the Golden Globes will become the results of the Oscars, and naturally they will spare no effort to push in this direction..
As competitors, Focus Features, Weinstein Pictures and Sony Classics have different mentality and made the same choice..
Focus Features is responsible for the distribution of "Dallas Buyers Club" and has locked up two awards in the actor category this year; Sony Classics is responsible for the distribution of "Blue Jasmine" and "Drunken Country" and has also locked in four major awards in the actor category this year. The two companies invariably gave up the best picture and best director, focusing on the acting department. They were also happy to accept the results of the Golden Globe Awards. They looked forward to the Oscar nomination list developing according to the current trend, and the opposition voices became quiet..
Finally, there’s the Weinstein Films, who have suffered heavy losses this year.
“Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman in "Railway Labour", Marion Cotillard and Joaquin Phoenix in "The Immigrant", Idris Elba in "Mandela" Elba) and Naomie Harris, Best Picture and Best Director for “Fruitville Station,” Forest Whitaker and Oprah Winfrey for “The Butler” Ray, Ryan Gosling in "Only God Forgives" and Best Director, Best Foreign Language Film in "The Grandmaster"……
These works cover academic works with different themes, fields and styles, including European, American, black, and autobiography, from Sundance to the three major European film festivals in Berlin, Cannes and Venice, and then to New York. At the two major North American film festivals in Toronto and Toronto, the Weinstein brothers selected this year’s Oscar seed candidates after a lot of screening..
But as the awards season progresses, all these works have been wiped out. Oprah Winfrey of "The White House Butler" once had great hope of winning the supporting actress category. She was even more powerful before entering January, but then Encountered fierce pursuit of the same genre of works "12 Years a Slave", Lupita Nyong'o turned out to be a breakthrough with her debut performance, and her posture was even better than that of Jennifer Lawrence and Renly Hall Even more high-profile.
By the time the Golden Globe Awards were held, the Weinstein brothers had very few cards left in their hands. "Philomena" and "August: Osage County" were the only remaining seeds. The former was slightly lighter, The competitiveness is slightly insufficient; the latter is all settled on the two actresses Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts..
This also makes the Weinstein brothers feel a little lonely. Before the Oscar nomination list has come out, they have already been defeated in the first stage of the Academy's public relations. Even Meryl Streep and Judi Dench won the best actress. , Julia Roberts’ Best Supporting Actress, they also seemed a little unable to do what they wanted..
Next, Weinstein Films will continue to work hard on the public relations of the Academy, hoping to complete the comeback in the sprint stage. They will never surrender easily; but at this stage, if they can trick Renly, Harvey -Weinstein will never refuse..
Because of various subjective and objective reasons, "Entertainment Weekly"'s evaluation of the Golden Globe Awards has been recognized by the mainstream in the industry..
From all appearances, Renly's situation is getting worse..
If we look at the results of the Golden Globe Awards, "American Hustle" in the musical comedy department will soon compete with "Dallas Buyers Club" and "Blue Jasmine" in the drama department to determine the four major acting awards. trend; while the best picture and best director are the triwizard battles of "12 Years a Slave", "American Hustle" and "Gravity".
In other words, there is no place for Renly.
It was like this before the Golden Globe Awards; it was slightly shaken on the night of the award ceremony; it is still like this after the Golden Globe Awards. It is not because Renly's works are not good enough, but precisely because Renly's performance is too good, "for the long-term future of young actors." , "For the future development of other actors in Hollywood," the Academy "had to" choose to give up Renly and let others win more opportunities..
This is also the trend throughout the awards season.
From "Drunken Country Folk" to the top of Cannes, to "Gravity" being famous in Venice and Toronto, and then developing to "two best actor" in the awards season; but then ushered in an avalanche of violent landslides, and now even Even the nomination seats are in jeopardy. Even if Warner Bros. and Sony Classics try their best to run public relations, it seems that there is no way to save it..
Who could have imagined that Renly, who had just won the EGOT and had the best year of his career, was now on the verge of being squeezed out of the Oscar nominations？
Some are ridiculous and some are funny, but some are also true and some are...unstoppable.
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 nominees for the 86th Oscars..
Compared with the fierce controversy caused by "Escape from Tehran" last year, this year's awards season movies lacked a huge number of works, but the average quality of the overall works was highly recognized, especially the four major ones. The actor department is considered to be a rare "big year", and the nomination stage has already fallen into fierce fighting, which also made 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 curious, can Renly be nominated? More importantly, can Renly snag a nomination 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 1972 to 1975 successively created such achievements. feat.
The most commendable thing is that Malone won such honors between the ages of 27 and 30, winning Best Actor four times; while Al received such recognition between the ages of 32 and 35. , three times Best Actor and one Best Supporting Actor. In other words, both actors became famous at a young age and reached the top..
Among them, Malone reached the top for the first time with "On the Waterfront" when he was 30 years old; while Al waited until he was 53 years old to win the Best Actor Award for the first time with "Scent of a Woman". Four consecutive acting nominations were unsuccessful. It can be seen from the differential treatment of the two talented actors that Hollywood's harshness and pickiness towards young actors is gradually deepening as time goes by..
Now, all eyes are on Renly. Following the 24-year-old EGOT, can he complete the feat of being nominated for four consecutive acting awards at the age of 24?？
The five finalists in the Best Actor race are:：
“Matthew McConaughey in "Dallas Buyers Club", Chiwetel Ejiofor in "12 Years a Slave", Christian Bale in "American Hustle", Bruce Deng in "Nebraska" Well, and...Renly Hall from "Gravity"！
