MTL - Movie Master-Chapter 1001 golden globe nomination
Laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the doorway. For most viewers, their expectations for the Oscars are simple: Have you seen the winning works yourself? This is also the most direct and effective response to Oscar's influence - the box office of award-winning works can often be added.
Naturally, "Titanic" won the 70th Oscar for Best Picture and "The Lord of the Rings 3" won the 76th Oscar, which became the two highest-rated events in history. There are commercial movies with excellent box office every year, but there are not often commercial movies that can hit the Oscar statuette.
This year, the birth of "Fury Road" is undoubtedly the focus of the world's attention. This work has broken all the impossible and written the myth of miracles; won unanimous praise. If "Fury Road" can win an Oscar, then this myth will be truly complete, an R-rated movie, a cult movie, a movie destined to be rejected by the academy, boycotted by the academy, and despised by the academy, Can a movie that challenges the dominance of the academy's rigid and old-fashioned academics break through the shackles of the market and the shackles of the academy, and achieve the goal that "Brokeback Mountain" fell short of last year?
This is like a warrior fighting an evil dragon, just thinking about it makes one's blood boil.
However, this is just the beginning. When the awards season finally became lively, Chaos Pictures finally took the initiative to attack. The first work "Queen" that broke away from Lance and was independently produced made a strong debut and received a lot of praise. From the script to the heroine, From the director to the film, it has demonstrated excellent competitiveness in all aspects, and the media comprehensive evaluation with a score of 91 points has proved this point. Even without Lance in charge, Chaos Films still showed excellent competitiveness.
The whole work of "The Queen" presents the turbulent emotions from a calm and gentle perspective, and the restrained and delicate performance is even more eye-catching. On the surface, the film focuses on the week that the Queen least wants to look back. But in fact it speaks of the restlessness of society as a whole.
Once upon a time, warm and quiet, profound and simple, gentle and arrogant, subtle and straightforward, this is the attitude of the elite and nobles, and it is also a common feature of the highly educated upper class. It seems depressing, but it has a fatal Elegant, but with the advancement of the times, this "literacy" is disappearing a little bit. No one knows if this is a good thing or a bad thing. This kind of embarrassment and apprehension is conveyed in the "queen", dancing lightly, but leaving a brand in the heart.
With no difficulty, "The Queen" has won the hearts of all film critics, and the powerful momentum is catching up. It has faintly emerged from the chaos, showing a similarity with "Babel", "The Departed", "Little Miss Sunshine". "Compared with other works, the momentum is not inferior.
It can be seen that the focus of the public relations strategy of Chaos Films still falls on the "Queen". It is the most Oscar-style work so far this year's awards season. In comparison, "Road to Fury" slashed a **** path with a slanted sword, which seemed to be beyond the expectations of Chaos Films-obviously, the magical journey of this work is still continuing.
The sluggish and chaotic awards season finally began to become clear before the end of 2006. The first group headed by "Fury Road" slowly lifted the veil, followed by the main members of the second group also began to emerge. Out of the water, with the announcement of the nomination list for the Golden Globe Awards, the reality of the awards season finally began to become clear.
In the past few years, although the Golden Globe Awards have been subject to controversy, and their compatibility with the Oscars is also declining, it is undeniable that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's public relations methods are indeed superb, and its "balance" is perfect. Whether it was the award for "The Aviator" the year before last, or the bold recognition for "Brokeback Mountain" last year, all of these have received a lot of praise. Compared with the Oscars, the Golden Globes, which always seem to be on the cutting edge of trends, are more approachable , A lot with the times.
This year is in a fog, and the major award ceremonies are crossing the river by feeling the stones. For those film critics associations, things are much simpler. Anyway, they will only choose works according to their own preferences, and they don't need to worry about the Oscars at all. But for the Golden Globes, this is really a huge problem. How to maintain the aura of the Oscar vane while retaining entertainment is no easy task, even for the cunning Hollywood Foreign Press Association. start.
Under such a situation, they announced the nomination list for the 64th Golden Globe Awards. There are many familiar faces, but there are more inexplicably unfamiliar faces. This list really makes people exclaim "unreadable" .
Among the high-profile best picture drama category, "Babel," "The Departed," "The Queen," "Fury Road" and "Bobby" were shortlisted for the final five.
Wait, "Bobby"? What kind of work is this? Not "Mothering" and "Chronicle of Scandal," or "Flags of Our Fathers" and "Letters from Iwo Jima," but "Bobby"? This immediately confused everyone. The work "Bobby" didn't seem to have any movement during the entire awards season. Although it won the "Biographical Film Award" at the Venice Film Festival, this award really didn't have any attention. , No one mentioned it after returning to North America.
Of course, this work gathered Anthony - Hopkins, Demi - Moore (Demi-Moore), Sharon - Stone (Sharon-Ston), Elijah Wood, Helen - Hunt (Helen-Hunt), Stars such as William H. Macy reproduced the night of Robert Kennedy's assassination. The cast and subject matter are worthy of attention, but... this is indeed not a work worthy of praise. So much so that after the nomination list came out, everyone was confused and full of question marks.
In comparison, the other four seats have no disputes and are basically expected. Still, the nomination for "Fury Road" was met with applause, not only for its box-office success, but also for its astonishing feat of breaking the shackles of the mainstream, and now it has finally been recognized by professional authority— Although the "professional" of the Golden Globes has to be in quotation marks.
On the other hand, the list of nominations for best picture in the musical comedy category is also quite disappointing, "Dreamgirls", "Borat", "Thank You for Smoking", "The Devil Wears Prada", "Little Miss Sunshine" won the final nomination.
Among them, the emergence of "Dreamgirl" is really confusing-because when the Golden Globes announced the nominations, the film had not yet been officially released, and it had only held small-scale screenings in New York and Los Angeles. But after the screening, the word-of-mouth of "Dreamgirls" inexplicably began to skyrocket. Director Bill Condon (Bill Condon), who once directed "Gods and Beasts", "Kinsey/Sex/Professor" and wrote "Chicago", -Condon) received so much fanfare that some even chanted that "Dreamgirls" was better than "Chicago," which won the Oscar for Best Picture.
What is even more exaggerated is that "Dreamgirls" has also received comprehensive praise in other links. Both comedians Jamie Foxx and Eddie Murphy are considered to have given the best performances of their careers, and they are expected to impact this year's Oscars Best Supporting Actor statuette, if this is still within the expected range, then Beyoncé and "American Idol" star Jennifer-Hudson (Jennifer-Hudson) are considered to be the best. It seems absurd to be a strong contender for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress—when did the singer's debut as an actor get such high praise? By that logic, Gisele Bundchen of "Fury Road" deserves a spot!
If "Dreamgirl" has already been released and has been judged by the audience, then such praise is fine; but now it seems like a castle in the air, a mirage, and countless rhetoric can't find a support~www.novelbuddy.com~This It really confuses people. Taking a step back, "Letters from Iwo Jima", which has also been screened in Los Angeles and New York, failed to win the nomination for the best picture in the drama category. Does the subtext mean that Clint Eastwood is not as good as Bill - Condon? This is simply the greatest mystery in the barren world!
Corresponding to "Dreamgirls", the three works of "Borat", "The Devil Wears Prada", and "Thank You for Smoking" are tepid, especially the first two works. Both "Borat" and "The Devil Wears Prada" were commercial films, and while both earned critical acclaim and box office success, neither was far from "the best." If the political satire and metaphors of "Borat" still show the overall thickness and depth, then the "Queen Wearing Prada" wrapped in Chinese clothes is much inferior. However, the musical comedy department of the Golden Globe Awards It was originally an "entertainment", so this result is barely acceptable.
Strictly speaking, only "Little Miss Sunshine" is eligible for the best picture nomination in the musical comedy category.
The ten nominations for the best film in the two categories of drama and musical comedy can be said to be unpopular. Even the Golden Globe Awards, where entertainment is paramount, seem to be a bit powerless this year. What is even more absurd is that the best film Another wonder in the director's department: 'The Departed'' Martin Scorsese, 'Babel''s Alessandro Gonzalez-Inarritu, 'Fury Road'' Lance Lott Strelow rounds out the final five, with Clint Eastwood of "Flags of Our Fathers" and Clint East of "Letters from Iwo Jima" remaining Wood took it.
Yes, Clint has two nominations for best director alone. Even for the Golden Globes, the list of nominations is shocking.
