2298 turbulent weather
When Renly was absent from the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, the outcome seemed to be doomed, so that when the award results came out, people were no longer surprised..
The feud between Renly and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is bound to continue - for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the awards ceremony can still go on without Renly, but it can also take advantage of Renly's absence to reverse the trend. The focus; for Renly, the lack of a Golden Globe trophy has no impact on his career at all, but it can achieve Renly's reputation as a professional..
Both sides can continue to remain in a stalemate like this, until one day, some event may break the balance, and someone will make changes - such as the hacker incident that just ended..
Because it was Michael Keaton who finally defeated Renly and climbed to the top, there has been no attack on Keaton on social networks for the time being.——
Relying on his "Batman" image back then, Keaton has always had a crowd of fans; this time he relied on "Birdman" to complete his self-destruction, finally ending the long career trough and ushering in hope again. Who can comment on such an inspirational story? Woolen cloth? Moreover, Keaton's reputation in the industry is also very good, and there are no black spots. This time he has won a lot of applause after all the hardships. Just like Mickey Rourke in 2008, he has been ups and downs for many years, and finally regained his fame with the "King of Wrestling" Rise, sympathy, tribute, admiration, expectations and other complex emotions are intertwined together, few people can blame them.
As a result, more doubts are still flocking towards the Golden Globe Award..
This is not the first time, nor will it be the last. It seems to have become a fixed routine. It can be seen from the upsurge of discussions on social networks that everyone has become accustomed to it. Even the posts of complaints and condemnations are far from breaking out. Show enough energy, "Can the Golden Globes please change their routine?"？”
Compared with denouncing the Golden Globe Awards, what people are more concerned about and curious about now is：
What does the Golden Globe Awards' once again ignoring mean for the second phase of the academy's public relations? What will be the consequences? Under the influence of the hacking incident, can Sony Classics complete adjustments in time and start over? What profound impact will this have on the final Oscar competition? Where will the Best Actor statuette end up? How do the Academy judges view the results of the Golden Globe Awards? Do you have any new ideas about the ownership of the best actor?？
and so on.
Unknowingly, everyone's eyes were directed towards the second stage of the awards season..
As usual in previous years, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will announce the Oscar nominations within three to five days of the Golden Globe Awards ceremony. The most commonly chosen time is Thursday; but this year there was a small surprise. The Academy chose to announce the nominations ten days after the Golden Globe Awards, that is, the second Thursday..
In the hustle and bustle, various rumors appeared on social networks. Which college stayed for a week to protect Renly and eliminate the impact; which college wanted to snipe Renly and let Keaton and Eddie's momentum continue to grow; The Academy was dissatisfied with the current awards season format and held an internal meeting; the hacking incident spread to the Academy again, and this time hackers targeted the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.……
Countless outrageous and exaggerated rumors are spreading, and they are getting more and more outrageous. The hacking incident has been exploited again, and Sony Classics has been hacked out of Xiang. Now it is in a bad situation where no one can argue - Harvey can be seen faintly behind it - Thanks to Weinstein’s work, the second phase of the college’s public relations war has already begun..
But in fact, all these speculations were groundless - the Academy had already determined all schedules as early as November, and the luncheon announcing this year's nominees was scheduled ten days after the Golden Globe Awards, and at that time, "Explosion" "The Drummer" hasn't been released yet, and the hacking incident hasn't happened yet. No one can know how the awards season will develop, let alone change the original plan for the second phase of Academy PR..
More importantly, the deadline for voting on the Academy's first stage nomination list is actually before the Golden Globe Awards ceremony. In other words, the Golden Globe Awards have not yet started, all votes have been sent, and the nomination list has entered In the statistical stage, this is also the reason why the Golden Globe Award can be regarded as a "wind vane"——
Let’s find out how the academy judges voted. Did the popular works distinguish the first group from the second group? From the perspective of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, make a summary prediction of the rumors and rumors in the industry, give a relatively clear estimate of the academic public relations results in the first phase, and then lay the foundation for the second phase..
Harvey Weinstein changed the Academy's public relations strategy because he heard clues from the Golden Globe Awards. Based on a clue summarized by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, he made his own judgment. He already had a good idea of the Oscar nomination list and the overall trend. I already knew everything, so I started working on the second phase of the layout in advance..
This is what Harvey does every year.
However, for laymen, they have no idea why, and they think that the Academy can "modify" the nomination list based on the Golden Globe winners list, for example, the judges temporarily modify their votes and then quickly send it out; so, thoughtful people With a little push, negative rumors started to spread.
However, these rumors are harmless and have no impact on the college. As for the impact on other people, no one knows.
Anyway, on Thursday, January 22, 2015, Alfonso Cuaron, JJ Abrams, Chris Pine and others attended the nomination luncheon at the Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills The nomination list has been officially announced, and you can feel it from the guest lineup. The Academy also has high hopes for this year's awards ceremony, and looks forward to making further progress based on last year's award ceremony..
As a side note, this year the Academy chose comedian Neil Patrick Harris to serve as host for the first time, following Ellen DeGeneres last year.——
The comedian, who has hosted the Tony Awards and Emmy Awards multiple times, is known for his comedy "How I Met Your Mother" and is known for his singing, singing, and humor. Like Ellen DeGeneres He is closer to young people; in addition, he, like Allen, has publicly come out as gay and is married. This is undoubtedly another breakthrough for the academy to improve its public image..
The Academy looks forward to Neil once again bringing energy to the awards ceremony.
However, there has been some controversy regarding the choice of host, mainly because Ellen DeGeneres’ performance last year was so outstanding. Many people suggested that she should continue to host this year, but the result was not fulfilled..
Why did Allen refuse to host again, and why were Chris Rock and Julia-Louis-Dreyfus, who volunteered to be hosts, rejected... Also, the rumors Neal is not the first choice of the academy, and there are some vicious people behind the scenes. So what is the truth?？
These gossipy discussions have also become a topic after dinner..
Although the academy and Neil have come forward to give official responses, including Allen, Julia and others, who have also given official responses to clarify the facts, no one can know the truth behind the scenes, which also makes Neil's He was carrying more and more pressure; as the hacking incident occurred, Neil faced another problem in his opening and closing remarks: Should he mention it or not?？
Originally, the pressure of hosting the Oscars every year is severe, but this year it seems to be even better. Even Neil, who has experienced many battles, is a little overwhelmed..
The topic returns to the nomination list.
In previous years, the Academy only announced the nomination list for major awards such as Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress on the "Nomination Morning". The list of technical awards will be updated simultaneously on the official website and then open Luncheon; however, this year’s nomination method has changed. All 24 awards were announced on the spot. The Academy stated that this reform was out of respect for all film technicians..
On the one hand, award ceremonies are being scaled back; on the other hand, nomination luncheons are being extended. The Academy is indeed making adjustments in every aspect to adapt to the development of the times..
Alfonso Cuaron, who won Best Director last year, announced the nomination list for the major awards. In the much-anticipated battle for Best Picture, only eight works were successfully shortlisted and did not occupy all ten places. This is also It's not a big accident.
“The Grand Budapest Hotel," "Birdman," "Boyhood," "Selma," "The Theory of Everything," "Punch Drummer," "American Sniper," "The Imitation Game"”.
The above-mentioned eight works successfully won nominations and landed safely at the Oscars, but the ten nomination seats for Best Picture were not filled..
Among them, the position of Sony Classic is undoubtedly the most eye-catching：
“"Foxcatcher" falls behind, "Explosion Drummer" takes over！
After being severely hit by the hacking incident, Sony’s classic awards season academy public relations pace was completely disrupted.——
"Foxcatcher", which was originally ranked in the first group, was unexpectedly kicked off the list of best picture nominees. This work was once considered to have the strength and ability to compete with "The Imitation Game", but it ended up being eliminated before the start of the second stage. Falling behind has left countless people disappointed.
However, "Breaking Drummer", which was not expected to compete for the best picture, relied on Renly's strong strength to make it into the final eight. This made Sisyphus Pictures debut. Don't let Sisyphus Films be judged just because of its relatively young qualifications. Underestimating the strength of this company.
No one can be 100% sure whether this is directly related to the hacking incident; but no one can directly conclude that Sony Classics is no longer a concern in the second stage. As long as it wins the nomination, it will have a fighting chance. What's more, "Explosive Drummer" has more than just the ability to "fight". Looking at the entire nomination list, it can be seen that Sony Classics is still a dangerous opponent that no one can underestimate..
