Chapter 342: Tainted Awards

Whether it is Paramount or Twentieth Century Fox, they have not failed in the nominations for the 59th Academy Awards.

Paramount tweeted Top Gun was nominated for Best Original Song, and Twentieth Century Fox's bodyguard "I'll alays love you" was also nominated for this nomination.

Then Back to the Future 2, also pushed by Twentieth Century Fox, was nominated for Best Visual Effects.

Naughty Jumping Lights, produced by DreamWorks Animation Studios, was nominated for Best Animated Short Film.

The most powerful is the last emperor, when the list of nominees came out, whether it was Hollywood, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia or Europe, the film industry peers were all exclaimed.

Because the last emperor won a total of nine nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Composition, Best Art Setting, Best Costume Design, Best Editing, and Best Sound Effects.

If this is a film invested and filmed by Europeans and Americans, film practitioners around the world may also be shocked by the number of nominations, but they will definitely not be as shocked as this time, and they don't know how to express it, after the nominations came out, all the media and newspapers began to report and analyze on a large scale, why the last emperor got nine nominations, and how many awards these nine nominations could have in the end.

When reporting and analyzing these, many media maliciously speculated how much money Qiao Feng, the investor of the last emperor, spent on public relations, and many Europeans and Americans, especially those in Hollywood, accused the Oscar judges of being bought by money, and the art they insisted on was tarnished by money.

Then before waiting for the Oscar organizing committee, what response did the judges do, the organizing committee of the Golden Globe Awards in the United States quit, and many reporters quit.

Because the Golden Globe Awards were held a little earlier than the Oscars, of course, the list of nominees came out a little earlier, and although the last emperor did not get as many nine nominations as the Academy Awards, he also received five nominations for Best Picture in the Drama category, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Film Score, and Best Actor in the Drama category.

If the list of nine Academy Award nominees is a bit too much, accusing the judges of being bribed and their artistry being tarnished, is it that the Golden Globes have also been bought and tarnished?

The judges of the key Academy Awards felt that they were wronged, because the Academy Awards themselves were allowed to lobby and be allowed to open the way for the Golden Yuan.

It can even be said that a considerable number of members of the academy vote with their feet, and a considerable number of people live by giving away things and money when various public relations firms lobby during the annual awards season.

Whether the Academy Awards are nominated or finally awarded, their votes are equivalent to the goods, which are taken out and traded, the film party, the public relations company gives money, these people give votes, this is business, of course, because the final vote is secretary, there is a professional accounting firm to supervise the notarization and counting of votes, so there will be those who take the money and do not give votes, but after all, there are relatively few such bests.

It can be said that all the participants of the entire Academy Awards play like this, and no one can say who is not, so many people in Hollywood are very ridiculous in their accusations of the last emperor, and no one on that stage has no face.

But the Golden Globe Awards are different, the Golden Globes don't have the bright and dark rules of lobbying, of course, there is no money to buy tickets, there are, but the money spent is not much, that is to say, the judges do not collect much money.

The Golden Globe Awards and the Academy Awards are different, the Oscars are voted for by the members of the Academy of Science, while the Golden Globes are run by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and the voting is voted by 96 journalists, and about two-thirds of the people here are part-time, the importance of the Golden Globes is not at all the same as the Oscars, the Oscars companies may spend hundreds of thousands of millions of lobbying, but the Golden Globes will never be spent on tens of thousands of dollars.

Because even if you don't have a lot of money, you won't spend it on a group of journalists whose main goal is to spread Hollywood news to countries outside North America, not to mention that many of these reporters don't live on journalism and only occasionally write for small foreign distributors. A large part of the membership has been a member for a long time, and there are some elderly people in their eighties and nineties, who live on pensions. Many members have other careers, including education, real estate, automotive and film promotion.

Perhaps in other parts of the world, the Golden Globes are regarded as very important awards, but in the United States, the Golden Globes are just a general award, no different from the awards of various performing arts guilds.

On the one hand, there is no willingness to spend money, and on the other hand, because there was a scandal a few years ago at the Golden Globe Awards, that is, in 1982, the Golden Globes awarded the Best Newcomer Award to the 26-year-old actress of the film "Butterfly" Pia Zadora, the fact is that Pia's multimillionaire husband hired a group of public relations to "buy" the award for his beautiful wife. After the inside story was revealed, the Golden Globe Awards were directly cut off from the live broadcast cooperation with CBS TV.

The Golden Globe Awards, which are on the cusp, are finally making people forget the disgraceful scandal, and at this time, where do they dare to collect money and make any more scandals.

Therefore, the judges of the Golden Globe Awards are panicked, this Oscar was accused of buying nominations and awards because of the nomination, and immediately some people will associate it with the Golden Globes, and then take out the previous Golden Globe scandal and re-talk it, and then you can confidently suspect that the Golden Globes will make a scandal of buying awards again.

If, if you really collect money, then the scandal will be a scandal, who will let it be a fact, but the five nominations for the Golden Globe Awards to the last emperor this time are completely the result of fair selection, because the producers and distributors of the last emperor did not put the Golden Globe Awards on the plan list at all, let alone give money and gifts, and they never called the judges on the lobbying call.

They are foreign correspondents or reporters who serve foreign media, and most of them are part-time, and the Golden Globe Award judges themselves are quite ostracized.

When the Oscar organizing committee and the judges were silent, the judges of the Golden Globes began to praise how good the last emperor was, and where it was good, etc., in their respective media, and refuted those who said that the last emperor was not worthy of nine nominations with their own professional judgment.

Because to help the Oscars speak out and refute is to help the Golden Globes, to help themselves, and to put the war directly on the Oscars, so as not to affect the Golden Globes.
