1674 ended in a low profile
The 71st Golden Globe Awards came to a lively and bustling end-
Ranley Hall returned empty-handed again.
Before the awards ceremony was officially held, Lan Li's hope of winning the award was very, very slim, and almost no one believed that he would win the award, but Lan Li appeared on the red carpet at all times, and all kinds of speculation came out, because Lan Li has not won any Golden Globe trophy so far, and this year Lan Li attended the ceremony dinner for the first time, does this mean that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has finally decided to award Lan Li?
This is a reasonable guess.
First of all, this is the Golden Globe Awards, entertainment is paramount, especially in the musical comedy department, which is often selected not based on absolute strength but more on the popularity of starlight, and has little impact on the trend of the awards season; secondly, Theo Kinma spent a lot of effort to invite Lan Li to attend, and is bound to hope to develop this friendly contact into a friendly relationship; thirdly, Lan Li chose to appear at the Hilton at the last moment, obviously not just for the sake of appearance.
In the end, the excellence of "Gravity" and "Drunken Country Folk" definitely deserves the award recognition, and since the Oscars and Screen Actors Guild Awards are likely to fail to face up to Lan Li's contribution, it is not impossible for the Golden Globes to muddy the waters. Maybe this will cause dissatisfaction among Hollywood insiders, but the annual Golden Globe Awards are causing their dissatisfaction, and they don't care about one more time, on the contrary, it may receive a lot of praise and enthusiastic praise from the audience, which is definitely a good deal.
From the perspective of theory, public relations, and conventions, all aspects are analyzed, and it seems that Lan Li won his first Golden Globe trophy with a high probability event, but ...... The ending was once again a big surprise.
Best Actor in a Drama Series, Lan Li lost to Matthew McConaughey of the "Dallas Buyers Club".
Best Actor in a Musical Comedy, Lan Li lost to Leonardo DiCaprio of "The Wolf of Wall Street".
This......
How should this be interpreted?
Objectively speaking, losing to Matthew in the plot department is not a shocking surprise, Matthew has been one of the several actors who have been the subject of hot discussion throughout the awards season this year, and the outstanding performance of "Dallas Buyers Club" has completely subverted the idol label of previous years, but is this really the best choice? This is just Matthew's first Golden Globe nomination, but the Hollywood Foreign Press Association still chose to pass the Blue Rite to award Matthew, not to be unpopular, but it is still inevitable to be surprised.
Again, the musical comedy department loses to Leonardo, and that's a puzzling choice. Bruce Dern of "Nebraska", Christian Bale of "American Hustle", and Jacquin Phoenix of "Her" are all more outstanding choices, not to mention that "Drunken Country Ballad" Blue Gift is the unbeatable frontrunner in the department, and if the Golden Globes are ready to create a buzz, then Blue Gift is undoubtedly the more correct choice.
But the Hollywood Foreign Press Association chose Leonardo, and after "The Aviator" in 2004, Leonardo won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor again after nine years, which was not the expected result - throughout the awards season, "The Wolf of Wall Street" was full of controversy, struggling to move forward amid doubts and crusades, and Leonardo's performance was even more discredited, even if the topic of the work itself aside, his performance was generally considered "slightly overdone".
Obviously, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association still believes that Leonardo's chances in the awards season are higher than those of the Blue Ceremony, and at the same time, Leonardo's topicality and controversy are greater than the Blue Ceremony.
It's not reasonable, it's not unexpected, but it's definitely a result that makes people laugh and cry.
Imagine the Blue Gift that made the youngest EGOT in film history, the Blue Gift that broke through the three major European film festivals, and the Blue Gift that swept the big and small awards to the soft hand, but was stuck on the Golden Globe Awards, what is this all about?
Imagine again, standing at the top of the Hollywood pyramid, Lan Li, re-appeared on the stage of the Golden Globes after three years, which is definitely in the limelight, but it turned out to be completely reduced to a foil, and there is no grain, what is going on?
This year, with the two works of "Gravity" and "Drunken Country Folk", the blue ceremony has achieved a full explosion, and the momentum of winning the award even exceeds the glory of winning the Oscar that year, if he misses this year, will he still have a chance to win the Golden Globe Award in the future?
Is this a regret of Lan Li, or a joke of the Golden Globes?
If it were placed in previous years, it is estimated that the Golden Globe Awards would have been ridiculed to death by the crowd - the list of winners of the Golden Globe Awards mocking each year seems to have become a fixed item, but this year's situation is particularly special, and the industry and outside the industry are generally cooling down for the Blue Ceremony.
Even Don Quixote has said that now Lan Li is still young, and the actor's career is still extremely long, he can have more possibilities, and there is no need to rush. Now every work will establish the status of a Lanli palace-level actor, and what fans are looking forward to is not a temporary gain or loss, but a glory and glory that will go down in history: because Lanli is worth it.
It is against this backdrop that the Golden Globes have once again ignored the return of the awards ceremony after a long absence, and people do not seem to be able to rightfully accuse the Hollywood Foreign Press Club of making another stupid move, and conversely, people do not seem to be able to gleefully praise the Golden Globe Awards for foreshadowing the direction of this year's awards season.
That's a bit ...... Dumbfounding.
Only a handful of people know that Lan Li's attendance was never for a Golden Globe trophy, but for an important step in the layout of the entire chessboard - the recent period of turbulence is methodically weaving a web of heaven and earth, brewing a storm that can change the competitive landscape of the six major film companies.
Although the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has been repeatedly criticized for being too utilitarian, and the Golden Globes have been repeatedly complained about being too entertaining, at this moment, compared to the Oscars, the Hilton Hotel has become the best place for the Blue Gift to launch the plan, and the subsequent Oscar night held by "Vanity Fair" will also be the driving place for the next plan.
As for the Golden Globe trophy, this event is supposed to be a gala, and enjoying, relaxing, and wandering is the right way to open.
But for most people, "high-profile debut, low-key ending", this has become the best portrayal of the second Golden Globe journey of Lanli's career, and finally ended in a subtle and intricate way, to a certain extent, it can be seen as a rare bump and bump in the development path of Lanli in the past few years.
"Entertainment Weekly" magazine even called the Golden Globe Awards "the surface of the moon that has not yet been touched by the footprints of Lan Li-Hall", giving the Golden Globe Awards a rare positive affirmation, and ridiculing other major award ceremonies and film festivals are all eager to pursue the Blue Gift, only the Golden Globe Award is "everyone is drunk and I am sober".
Two years have passed since the "hype gate" is placed in the Internet society, which is two centuries, and almost everyone has forgotten about that incident, but for the "Entertainment Weekly", it is like a shame scar, fiercely and deeply imprinted on their foreheads, and the starlight of Lan Li reminds them of that period of history all the time, how can they easily forget?
Maybe Entertainment Weekly doesn't lose its sanity and spout nonsense, but they don't mind interpreting the well-known and definite facts from a different angle.
Now, for example, the Golden Globes have won rare praise.
In fact, while Entertainment Weekly's praise for portraying the Golden Globes as a formidable and unique landscape is clearly exaggerated, the 71st edition of the ceremony has indeed managed to pull back a city, finding a delicate balance among the major awards, briefly sorting out the chaos of the awards season, and getting a glimpse of the overall competitive landscape of the Oscars.
In the drama category, the best picture went to "12 Years a Slave", the best actor winner was Matthew McConaughey of the "Dallas Buyers Club", and the best actress was Cate Blanchett of "Blue Jasmine".
In the Musical Comedy category, Best Picture was awarded to "American Hustle", with Leonardo DiCaprio for "The Wolf of Wall Street" and Amy Adams for "American Hustle" for Best Actress.
In addition, Best Supporting Actor is Jared Leto of "Dallas Buyers Club", Best Supporting Actress is Jennifer Lawrence of "American Hustle", Best Director is Alfonso Cuarón of "Gravity", Spike Jones is Best Screenplay is "Her", Best Foreign Language Film is "Beautiful City", and Best Animated Film is "Frozen".
These are the main winners of the Golden Globes in the film category.
It can be seen that the Golden Globe Awards are still sharing the cake, continuing the consistent tradition, except for the "American Hustle" won three trophies alone, and the overall momentum of the other works is not equal, but this year's cake sharing is very skillful and has undoubtedly won a lot of praise.
Overall, "12 Years a Slave", "American Hustle" and "Gravity" have taken the lead in the race for Best Picture and Best Director, forming the first group.
Among them, "12 Years a Slave" benefited from the theme advantage and slightly dominated the best picture; "Gravity" has a unique directing skill and control in the overall situation of this year's awards season; "American Hustle" is still the biggest highlight of the group drama advantage, and the four major awards of male lead, female lead, male supporting actor and female supporting actor are all competitive.
As a supplement, Fox Searchlight for "12 Years a Slave", Warner Bros. for "Gravity", and Sony Columbia Pictures for "American Hustle" are all the most dominant distribution companies in the awards season so far, while Weinstein Pictures' "Philomena", Focus Pictures' "Dallas Buyers Club", and Sony's classic "Blue Jasmine" and "Drunken Country Ballad" all have varying degrees of shortcomings.
This also means that the three-legged momentum of the first group has been formed!
