2294 Accurate prediction
When the Golden Globe Awards ceremony came to an end and all the winners were announced, Bob Weinstein's tense heartstrings finally relaxed, because Harvey Weinstein's judgments were all correct. The trend of the season is advancing as expected by the Weinstein Films.
Once again, Harvey is right.
In a corner deep in his heart, Bob was vaguely expecting Harvey to stumble. He was not hoping that there would be problems with the Weinstein Films, but he was hoping that Harvey would calm down and stop being so domineering - it would be best not to take it lightly. Zhongdi suffered a frontal blow and could wake up, otherwise Bob would not know in what direction things would develop. Even he was a little breathless when facing Harvey..
Having said that, Harvey's prediction was correct again, which is a good thing for the Weinstein Films, which means that they can follow Harvey's established pace and move towards the second phase - Bob strongly doubts that even if The list of winners of the Ballon d'Or deviated from expectations, and no one can change Xavi's decision.
Now, who can stop Harvey?？
After realizing this, Bob was not sure whether he hoped to successfully win the Oscar this year or... a little surprise.？
On January 11, the 72nd Golden Globe Awards Ceremony was officially held at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles. It was the same venue, the same season, the same event, and almost the entire Hollywood came out to once again dress up to welcome them grandly. Annual entertainment topic feast.
Compared with previous years, the average level of this year's awards season is closer and the competition is more fierce, but there is a lack of blockbuster works that can create shock waves - last year there were "Gravity" and "The Wolf of Wall Street", and the year before that there was "The Fantasy of Pi" "Drift" and "Lincoln", the year before last there were "Hugo" and "War Horse", and this year？
The highest-grossing works during this year's awards season are "Crunch" and "The Imitation Game." Before the Golden Globe Awards, plus "Gone Girl," only these three works had a North American box office of over 100 million—— When "Interstellar" fails to win the Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Picture in the Drama category, it means that this year's overall commercial attributes will fall back to the lowest point in five years. This is also the reason why "American Sniper" can make efforts in the future. The reason why it still has impact.
However, despite the lack of blockbusters, the overall average strength of the works is very gratifying. "Birdman", "The Grand Budapest Hotel", and "Foxcatcher" all performed very well at the box office, showing a far-reaching market response that is different from previous years. , if you add in the locally popular "Boyhood", then the topic of the awards season will be even more lively - so far, the discussion on social networks has indeed reached the highest point in history..
The Golden Globe Awards Ceremony has undoubtedly reached a new high in discussion. The competition is closer, and the list of winners has more possibilities..
The first is the ownership of the best film.
Among the best films in the drama category, "Boyhood" took the top spot, beating out rivals including "The Imitation Game," "The Theory of Everything," "Foxcatcher" and "Selma."”.
This can be said to be what everyone expected. From being tepid at Sundance to being a hit at the end of the year, "Boyhood" has indeed become the number one hit of this year's awards season, and director Richard Linklater has also risen to the top. ranks, completely reversing the previous situation of wallowing in the field of literary and artistic films..
Weinstein Films' two films "The Imitation Game" and "The Theory of Everything" both failed, especially the former. It had high hopes after Toronto reached the top, but it still couldn't beat "Boyhood" that critics couldn't put down; and the main star After receiving numerous praises during the awards season, the race-branded "Selma March" failed to replicate the strong upward curve of last year's "12 Years a Slave".
Harvey's insider information undoubtedly confirmed the final award results.
Among the best films in the musical comedy category, "The Grand Budapest Hotel" defeated many opponents to reach the top spot, from the collective siege of powerful opponents such as "Birdman", "Drummer", "Saint Vincent" and "Pride" stand out.
What is a little unusual is that this year the competition in the musical comedy category is more intense than the drama category. The three works "The Grand Budapest Hotel", "Breaking Drummer" and "Birdman" can be said to be three pillars, with each other's reputation and votes They are all very close; "Saint Vincent" also has the level of a dark horse to upset. Putting aside "Pride", which is slightly weaker in overall strength, the award is full of suspense, which also makes the Golden Globe Awards attract much attention.——
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is finally proud of itself. In previous years, it has always been criticized for its popcorn settings in the musical comedy category. We can even see "The Hangover" being the unpopular winner of the best film in the musical comedy category. But this year Finally ushered in a full-scale explosion of music and comedy works.
In the end, "The Grand Budapest Hotel" defeated "Breaking Drummer" to reach the top spot. Wes Anderson was considered to have finally created his masterpiece, and winning the award was a natural result; while Damien Chazelle was only his first For the second work, he still needs time to slowly polish his skills..
“Birdman" and "Saint Vincent" ultimately failed to advance further in the first stage, which also added more suspense to the college's public relations in the second stage..
Harvey Weinstein's two Best Picture predictions were all correct.
Secondly, the director department.
“David Fincher of "Gone Girl", Ava-DuVernay of "Selma Parade", Wes Anderson of "The Grand Budapest Hotel", Richard Lam of "Boyhood" Clayte and Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu of “Birdman” ranked in the top five respectively..
Because the average strengths of the works are very, very close, this also makes the Best Director category, which only allows five nominations, immediately become crowded. Damien Chazelle of "The Imitation Game" and Morten Tay of "The Imitation Game" Morten-Tyldum, Bennett-Miller of "Foxcatcher", etc. all fell behind, but David Fincher suddenly emerged relying on the excellent reputation of "Gone Girl".
Objectively speaking, the whole of Hollywood knows that the Oscar owes David Fincher a statuette. The excitement of "The Social Network" has gone down in history, but in the end, Tom Hooper of "The King's Speech" was shot at the Oscar. Overturned, this can be said to be the second most tragic incident at the Oscars of the Millennium after "Brokeback Mountain". To this day, countless people still complain about David Fincher - and Tom Hooper has gradually disappeared from everyone..
Although "Gone Girl" is not David Fincher's pinnacle work, after the Golden Globe nomination list came out, some people still speculated whether David Fincher should be renamed.？
The final list of winners was announced. Richard Linklater once again won the award with "Boyhood". The entire award season can be said to be a real win-win..
“"Gone Girl" debuted as a commercial movie, but after winning numerous praises, it unexpectedly entered the awards season, replicating the miracle of last year's "Gravity", but in the end it failed to go further. David Fincher once again teamed up with It’s disappointing to miss the Best Director Award.
However, the competition for the Best Director Award this year is very fierce. Even if the Golden Globe winners are announced, the Oscar and Directors Guild of America nomination lists are still full of suspense. No one is still 100% sure who will win. Who will be left behind among the finalists must not be taken lightly..
Judging from the comprehensive awards, "Boyhood" has undoubtedly become the biggest winner in the first stage of the awards season. This media review still maintains a 100% absolute masterpiece, and it can be called the biggest topic of the year..
It’s the actors department again.
For Best Actor in a Drama Series, Eddie Medrain of "The Theory of Everything" beat Benedict Cumberbatch of "The Imitation Game" to take the top spot, with Steve Carell of "Foxcatcher" Seoul, Jake Gyllenhaal of "Nightcrawler" and David Oyelowo of "Selma" were all reduced to foils.
The most regrettable thing is undoubtedly Jake Gyllenhaal, who gave the best performance of his career. It seems that he has never been the actor favored by the Academy judges. There is even a rumor in the industry that the Academy judges are still there because he originally chose "Brokeback Mountain" "And exclude him and punish him; if Heath Ledger hadn't died young, "The Dark Knight" might not even have been nominated. Of course, rumors are just rumors. Whether you want to believe it or not is a matter of opinion..
The biggest winner is undoubtedly the Weinstein Films, with Eddie and Benedict’s double insurance jointly leading the way, and it is still the biggest favorite during the awards season.
Benedict remained strong in the first half of the first stage, while Eddie started to exert strength in the second half of the first stage. Now the overall momentum has surpassed Benedict, and is on par with Renly, becoming the strongest actor this year. A strong contender, the result of winning the Ballon d'Or is even more of a "family" competition..
Harvey's judgment... was correct again. Now Eddie's momentum has always shown an upward curve, which also means that Eddie will become Renly's strongest competitor for the Oscar for the second time. The second stage of the Academy Public relations forces are bound to tilt in Eddie's favor, and Benedict may become an outcast if necessary..
More importantly, what Bob is worried about: The "imitation game" that invested countless public relations efforts in the early stage may become a marginal chess piece due to Harvey's irrationality, ultimately wasting many layouts of the Weinstein Films, if not paying attention. , it is possible to lose everything; although Harvey still has the initiative in the second stage, Bob is now more worried that Harvey's "reason" may not be able to make correct judgments.
So, should Bob dissuade Harvey?？
Then the conversation comes full circle: Does Bob want Harvey stopped? Does Bob want Harvey to stumble? Does Bob want the Weinstein Films to get slapped on the head? Also, if Bob wholeheartedly thinks about the company and really persuades Harvey, can he make Harvey change his mind?？
Or, just let it go like this, let Harvey really suffer a little, pour a basin of cold water on his overheated brain to cool down, and then Bob can guide Harvey to change his mind.？
Should he do this?？
