771 Fighting out
2011The awards season this year was plunged into chaos, the biggest chaos in history! As usual in previous years, after the Golden Globe Awards ended, the overall trend and context of the Oscars emerged, preparing for the third stage of sprint and competition. However, this is not the case this year. Not only is the pattern not clearer, it is even more confusing. Got it！
The three major Oscar trends - the North American Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards, the National Board of Review Awards, and the Golden Globe Awards - all have completely different award trends. Even the nomination list is a chaotic battle, which makes everyone feel disappointed. Broken glasses.
The North American Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards awarded the Best Picture and Best Director to "The Artist", the Best Actor to Renly Hall of "Crazy Love", and the Best Actress to "The Help" Viola Davis.
The National Board of Review Awards awarded both Best Picture and Best Director to "Hugo", Best Actor went to Michael Fassbender of "Shame", and Best Actress went to "We Need to Talk" Tilda Swinton on Kevin.
The Golden Globes for Best Picture went to "Descendants" and "The Artist" respectively, Best Director went to Martin Scorsese for "Hugo", and Best Actor went to George Clooney for "Descendants" and Jean Dujardin of "The Artist", and the best actresses are Meryl Streep of "The Iron Lady" and Michelle Williams of "My Week with Marilyn".
Stagger, stagger them all! The entire public opinion community and professionals have been shocked! In the list of winners in previous years, one or two awards are staggered or not overlapping. This is natural. Even if it is popular, there may be a dark horse, otherwise the awards season will be boring; but like this year, it is so perfect and so Neatly staggered, it's simply appalling！
In addition to the three major weather vanes, the five major unions in the American film industry - Producers Guild, Editors Guild, Writers Guild, Directors Guild, and Screen Actors Guild also present the same row of chaos. At present, the five major unions have only announced the nomination list. , the awards have not yet been awarded, which is also the top priority of the academy’s public relations in the third phase, but just the nomination list is enough to make people full of confusion..
Producers Guild of America, among the ten nominated works, "The Artist", "The Descendants", "Hugo", "The Help", "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", "Crazy", "The Tree of Life", "War Horse", "I Fight Cancer" and "Bridesmaid" were successfully shortlisted.
This also means that the three works "The President's Game", "Midnight in Paris" and "Moneyball" were all eliminated. Among them, the failure of "Midnight in Paris" triggered an earthquake-like response.
Editors Guild of America, drama, “The Artist,” “The Descendants,” “The Help,” “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” “The President” is on the list, “Hugo” is out; musical comedy, “I and Me” "Monroe's Week", "Me Fighting Cancer", "Midnight in Paris", "The Artist" are shortlisted, "Bridesmaids" is out.
Among them, the failure of "Hugo" caused the entire industry to take a breath of cold air..
Directors Guild of America, Alexander Payne of "Descendants", Martin Scorsese of "Hugo", Woody Allen of "Midnight in Paris", Terrence Malick of "The Tree of Life" ( Terrence-Malick) and Steven Spielberg of "War Horse" successfully attracted nominations.
Correspondingly, George Clooney of "The President", Michelle Hazanavicius of "The Artist", and David Fincher of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" were eliminated one after another. As awards season stars A dark horse, the little-known Michelle seems to be showing signs of decline.
Screen Actors Guild, Best Actor, George Clooney in "The Descendants", Brad Pitt in "Moneyball", Renly Hall in "Crazy", Leon in "Hoover" Nado DiCaprio and "Better Life"'s Demlian Bichir are among the top five nominees.
“Jean Jardin from "The Artist" is out, Ryan Gosling from "The President" and "Drive" is out, and Michael Fassbender from "Shame" is out.
Best Actress: Meryl Streep for "The Iron Lady", Viola Davis for "The Help", Michelle Williams for "My Week with Marilyn", "Us" Tilda Swinton from "Need to Talk About Kevin" and Felicity Jones from "Crazy Love" are shortlisted for nomination.
“Glenn Close of "The Indistinguishable" and Rooney Mara of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" are both out.
Writers Guild of America, Best Original Screenplay, shortlisted for "Midnight in Paris", "Fighting Cancer", "Crazy Love", "Teens", "Bridesmaids", "The Artist", "A Separation", "Drive", etc. All works were eliminated. It is worth mentioning that the nominations of two works, "Crazy Love" and "I Fight Cancer" attracted a lot of attention..
Best Adapted Screenplay: "The Descendants," "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," "Tinker, Tailor, Spy," "Hugo" and "Moneyball" won nominations, while "The President's End" was nominated , "My Week with Monroe" and "The Help" were all dismissed. The most shocking thing was undoubtedly the failure of "The Help", which caused a lot of astonishment..
Dazzled! Absolutely dazzling! More than 20 works have appeared in turn, almost too many to count. "Midnight in Paris" was absent from the Producers Guild of America nomination, "Hugo" was absent from the Editors Guild of America nomination, "The Artist" was absent from the Directors Guild of America nomination, and "The Help" Absent from Writers Guild of America nomination, 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' is absent from Screen Actors Guild nomination……
The only exception is "Descendants". This work successfully received nominations from all five major labor unions, plus nominations from the three major Oscar trends. Faintly, "Descendants" has quietly stood out and become the most popular film in this year's awards season. Most popular player！
but！
In such a chaotic situation this year, there is always a "but", no one is safe, no one is strong, no one is certain. "The Artist", "The Help", "Hugo", "Midnight" "Paris" and other early works that were slightly ahead of the crowd failed to do so, and "posterity" also failed to do so..
New York Film Critics Circle Award, nominated; Los Angeles Film Critics Circle Award, no nominations; Boston Film Critics Circle Award, nominated; San Francisco Film Critics Circle Award, no nominations; Seattle Film Critics Circle Award, no nominations; Houston Film Critics Circle Award, none Nominate.
Obviously, "The Descendants" is not loved by everyone in the eyes of the Film Critics Association. To be precise, many people don't like it..
In addition to the three major Oscars and the five major labor union awards in the United States, the Film Critics Association Awards, large and small, have also appeared. Some awards have been awarded early, and some are still waiting for the third stage of the outbreak. But The existing information shows a chaotic pattern..
The most bizarre thing is that the five films nominated for Best Picture by the Boston Film Critics Association and the San Francisco Film Critics Association are completely staggered, with no overlapping options.！
This is not a good thing, at least not a good thing where a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend, but a farce that falls into chaos. This year’s chaos is really making people laugh and cry..
There is no leader, no first group, not even strong seeded players. After two stages of melee, it is still chaos, and the pattern shows no sign of clarity. The division of heroes in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period directly led to the academic public relations during the awards season. It's a mess and noisy, all kinds of negative news are flying all over the sky, all kinds of public relations methods are emerging one after another, the atmosphere is full of chaos, everything is going on..
In such a chaotic situation, this has also triggered increasing concerns in major media: Is this a good thing or a bad thing for Generation Y? Will heroes emerge from chaotic wars, or will the younger generation be annihilated again? Furthermore, is this a positive or negative thing for the future development of the film industry?？
Last year, "The King's Speech" defeated "The Social Network", and the entire academy was in a twilight and worrying mood; this year, it is in such chaos again, facing new challenges. Has the film industry really begun to decline? Are the impacts and disasters brought about by the Internet age and fast food culture finally beginning to ferment?？
All the chaos, all the controversies, all the confusions, all the expectations, with the release of the Oscar nomination list, finally settled and came to an end.！
Unprecedentedly, the announcement of the Oscar nominations has attracted so much attention and attention, and it is not because this year has a giant like "Avatar", or because of the gimmick of the showdown between old and new such as "The Social Network" and "The King's Speech", but because It's because people can't wait to end this chaos, skip the awards season Academy PR drama, and really get into the third phase of the sprint..
No matter who is selected or who is not selected, no matter who is happy or who is sad, the important thing is that the chaotic situation has temporarily come to an end, the order has become clear again, and then we can join hands and run towards the Oscar. For a small number of people For me, I can’t even wait to end this disaster of this year’s awards season..
The 84th Oscars may go down in history, but not in an encouraging way.
This year's Academy nomination list was grandly announced under such expectations and attention.！
“"The Artist", "Hugo", "The Help", "The Descendants", "Midnight in Paris", "Moneyball", "Extremely Loud, Incredibly Close", "The Tree of Life", "War Horse"”.
A total of nine works were shortlisted for this year's Best Picture nominations. They successfully fought their way through the chaos. Unfortunately, works such as "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", "Bridesmaids", "Fighting Cancer" and "The President" out.
Among them, "The Artist", "Hugo", "The Help", "The Descendants" and "Midnight in Paris" continued their overall advantage in the chaos and were successfully shortlisted; "War Horse" and "Moneyball" were successful at the last moment. Power, took the last train; "Tree of Life" fought a bloody road, with almost no publicity in the first half, and abruptly completed the reversal in the second sprint stage..
“"Extremely Loud, Incredibly Close" has become the biggest dark horse in the nomination stage. This movie is invested by Warner Bros. and produced by Scott Rudin. Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock are willing to be the green leaves to support. A child's perspective re-examines the damage caused by the "911 Incident". Before the Golden Globe Awards, this work was almost unknown, but it relied on the strong public relations of the academy to achieve a comeback and successfully stand out in the chaos..
Just from the top nine lists for Best Picture, we can see the overall decline of this year's Oscars. Overall, the reputation and quality of "The Descendants", "The Help", "Hugo" and "The Artist" are still slightly ahead. But the momentum was mediocre. Even at the awards ceremony, "very loud, very close" counterattacked all the way to the end. This is not impossible..
Should I be thankful for this? Still should lament？
The list of nominees for Best Picture is just the tip of the iceberg. There are still countless traps in the other nomination lists..
