1675 Nomination doubts
The Golden Globe Awards winners list of interests first and entertainment to death is a similar and familiar routine every year, and the art and checks and balances of the cake are played to the extreme in the hands of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association;
This year, apparently, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has done a great job.
Looking at the entire list of winners, it is almost certain that "12 Years a Slave", "American Hustle" and "Gravity" have quietly seized the leading position in the first group, and if nothing else, this year's Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director will be produced from them, and the specific pattern will depend on their momentum in various departments to grab nominations and subsequent college PR.
In addition to the three works, there are about five to ten works that constitute the second group, such as "Drunken Country Ballet", such as "The Wolf of Wall Street", such as "She", and "Philomena", all of which have the chance of hitting the best picture and best director, and will also become the main force in each individual award.
Specifically, in the competition for each individual award, the advantage of "American Hustle" is particularly obvious, "Dallas Buyers Club" in the actor department, "Blue Jasmine" in the actress department also have strong strength, in addition, "12 Years a Slave", "Nebraska" and "Captain Phillips" and other works also have the ability to be above each individual by virtue of the influence of the work.
Of course, there are also Lanley Hall, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, Joaquin Phoenix, Judi Dench, Sandra Bullock, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Michael Fassbender, Daniel Bruch and many other actors who also have the possibility of standing out by relying on their strong strength and deep heritage.
The reason why the winners of the 71st Golden Globe Awards were able to find a balance in the situation of sharing the cake, and then received the corresponding industry recognition, is because the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has cleverly captured the intersection of checks and balances in the college's public relations outside of the first group.
Except for the Best Actor in a Musical Comedy unexpectedly won by Leonardo DiCaprio, the other five acting awards have all skillfully completed the balance between the strength of the work and the strength of the actors, and even if Leonardo defeats the other four contenders, it can be seen as the inevitable outcome of the fierce battle between the four powerful contenders "American Hustle", "Nebraska", "Drunken Country Folk" and "She", and the "Wolf of Wall Street" will sit on the fisherman's advantage.
In other words, the final list of winners of the Golden Globe Awards largely indicates that the final list of winners of this year's Oscars is not just a list of nominees, but a list of winners.
"Entertainment Weekly" has received countless criticisms and complaints about the praise and admiration of the Golden Globe Awards, and many people think that they are losing their lower limit and bottom line;
They hope that the results of the Golden Globes can become the results of the Oscars, and naturally they spare no effort to push in this direction.
Contenders Focus Pictures, Weinstein Pictures, and Sony Classics have different mindsets and made the same choice.
Focus Pictures is responsible for the distribution of "Dallas Buyers Club", which has locked in two awards in the actor department this year, and Sony Classics is responsible for the distribution of "Blue Jasmine" and "Drunken Folk", which has also locked in four major awards in the actor department this year.
Finally, there's Weinstein Pictures, which has lost a lot this year.
Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman for "Railroad Labor", Marion Cotillard and Jaaquin Phoenix for "Immigrant", Idris Elba and Naomie Harris for "Mandela", Best Picture and Best Director for "Frutville Station", Forest Whitaker and Oprah Winfrey for "The White House Butler", Ryan Gosling and Best Director for "God Can Forgive", Best Foreign Language Film for "The Grandmaster".
From Sundance to the three major European film festivals in Berlin, Cannes and Venice, and then to the two major North American film festivals in New York and Toronto, the Weinstein brothers selected this year's Oscar seeders.
But with the slow advancement of the awards season, these works have all been wiped out, "White House Butler" Oprah Winfrey was once very hopeful to hit the supporting actress award, and was even more ferocious before entering January, but then encountered the fierce pursuit of the same type of theme work "12 Years of Slavery", Lupita Nyong'o came out with her debut performance, and her posture was even more high-profile than Jennifer Lawrence and Lan Li Hall back then.
By the time the Golden Globes arrived, the Weinstein brothers had few cards left, with "Philomena" and "August: Osage County" being the only remaining seeds, the former being a little lighter and a little less competitive, and the latter all going to actresses Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts.
This also made the Weinstein brothers a little lonely, and the Oscar nominees had not yet come out, and they had already collapsed in the first phase of the college's public relations, even Meryl Streep and Judi Dench's Best Actress, and Julia Roberts's Best Supporting Actress, they seemed a little overwhelmed.
Next, Weinstein Pictures is bound to continue to work the college's public relations, hoping to complete the comeback in the sprint stage, and they will definitely not surrender easily, but at this stage, if they can easily pit the blue salute, Harvey Weinstein will definitely not refuse.
Because of various subjective and objective reasons, this has created the evaluation of the Golden Globe Awards by "Entertainment Weekly" to be affirmed by the mainstream of the industry.
By all accounts, the situation in Lan Li is getting worse and worse.
According to the results of the Golden Globe Awards, the "American Hustle" in the musical comedy department is about to compete with the "Dallas Buyers Club" and "Blue Jasmine" in the drama department to determine the trend of the four major acting awards, while the best picture and best director are the triumvirate battle of "12 Years a Slave", "American Hustle" and "Gravity".
In other words, there is no place for the Blue Rite.
This was the case before the Golden Globes, a little shaken on the night of the ceremony, and still after the Golden Globes. It's not because Lan Li's works are not good enough, but precisely because Lan Li's performances are too good, "for the long-term future of young actors" and "for the future development of other actors in Hollywood", the academy "has to" choose to give up Lan Li and let others win more opportunities.
That's what the trend has been throughout the awards season.
From "Drunken Country Ballad" to Cannes, to "Gravity" to Venice and Toronto, and then to the awards season "Two Best Actors", but then ushered in an avalanche of fierce landslide, and now even the nominations are in jeopardy, even Warner Bros. and Sony Classics seem to be powerless even if they try their best to run public relations.
Who would have imagined that the Blue Gift, who had just won EGOT and dedicated the best year of his career, was now on the verge of being squeezed out of an Oscar nomination?
Some ridiculous, some funny, but some real and some unstoppable.
Just one week after the curtain came down on the 71st Golden Globe Awards, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences officially announced the nominees for the 86th Academy Awards.
Compared with the fierce controversy caused by last year's "Escape from Tehran", this year's awards season films are missing a peerless giant work, but the average quality of the overall work is highly recognized, especially the four major actor departments are considered to be a rare "big year", and the nomination stage has been caught in a fierce battle, which also makes the announcement of the nomination list attract more attention.
The much-anticipated nominee department is not Best Picture or Best Director, but Best Actor.
Everyone is wondering, can Lan Li be nominated, and more importantly, can Lan Li be nominated for the fourth consecutive year?
In the long history of the Oscars, only two actors have been nominated for acting awards four consecutive years, Marlon Brando between 1951 and 1954, and Al Pacino between 197 and 1975.
The most commendable thing is that Malone won such glory between the ages of 27 and 30, and won all four Best Actor awards, while Al received such recognition from the age of 32 to 35, Best Actor three times and Best Supporting Actor once. In other words, both actors became famous at a young age and reached the top.
Among them, Ma Long reached the top for the first time with "Dock Storm" when he was 30 years old, while Al waited until he was 53 years old to win the actor Xiaojinren for the first time with "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing Women", and all of his previous four consecutive acting nominations failed. The difference between the two talented actors can be seen that Hollywood's harshness and pickiness for young actors is gradually deepening with the advancement of time.
Now, all eyes are on Lan Li, after the twenty-four-year-old EGOT, will he be able to accomplish the feat of four consecutive acting award nominations at the age of twenty-four?
The five contenders for Best Actor are:
Matthew McConaughey of the "Dallas Buyers Club," Chiwett Ejiofor of "Twelve Years a Slave," Christian Bale of "American Hustle," Bruce Dunn of "Nebraska," and Ranley Hall of "Gravity"!
