"You negotiate with Twentieth Century Fox about the technical awards. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

These types of awards aren't very important, and Murphy himself doesn't put too much thought into them, "Best Picture and Best Director are a must!" ”

Bill Rothes nodded, "What about the acting awards?" ”

"I've spoken to Maggie and James." Murphy's words surprised Bill Rothes a little, "Apply for Best Actress and Best Actor respectively for them!" ”

"Best Actress and Best Actor?" Bill Rothes was stunned for a moment.

"That's right, Best Actress and Best Actor." Murphy said with great certainty, "James's character is the protagonist of the film, and there is no problem at all in applying for Best Actor; Maggie's character is also the only heavyweight female character in the film, and she does it well. ”

Bill Rossis thought for a moment and asked, "What about Twentieth Century Fox?" ”

Murphy replied, "This is the result of my consultation with Kara Fez. ”

The two have reached an agreement in this regard a long time ago, "Dark City" is the only protagonist in the film "Dark City" from the appearance alone, and everyone else is his supporting role, but those who have watched the film know that James Franco's magician shines and completely dominates the plot direction of the film, Henry Cavill is not to mention James Franco, and is even obviously pressed down by Margot Robbie.

This also leads to a somewhat unbalanced character in the film, but fortunately, the plot of the film hides Henry Cavill's not stellar performance, and no one pays much attention to him.

As for the two common sense roles that are supporting roles to declare Best Actor and Best Actress, this is no problem at all, and the Oscars have appeared many times in history, the most representative is undoubtedly Professor Hannibal, Anthony Hopkins won the Best Actor of that Oscar with a pure supporting role, plus just ten minutes of scenes.

The strategy of hitting the Oscars is not static, but to be flexible, for example, when Catherine Zeta-Jones hit the Oscars with "Chicago", she found that there were many strong players for Best Actress, she had no advantage at all, and she lost the Golden Globe Awards, and quickly changed the award she declared from Best Actress to Best Supporting Actress on the eve of the Oscar vote, and Renee Zellweger, another leading actor who starred in "Chicago" who was nominated for Best Actress, returned empty-handed at the awards ceremony, Catherine Zeta-Jones managed to win Best Supporting Actress.

Run by two major companies, CAA and Twentieth Century Fox, and with the stellar performances of Margot Robbie and James Franco in the film, Murphy feels that they still have a good chance of being nominated for Best Actor and Actress.

Can I win the prize in the end? No one can guarantee this, after all, Oscar's choices are too susceptible to external influences many times.

For example, the last Oscars that Murphy watched, because there were no black people in the previous edition, such as Best Actor and Actress and Best Director, stood up to boycott the Oscars, and by this time, not only did blacks receive a large number of nominations and successfully won Best Supporting Actor and Actress, but a purely black film also won Best Picture Statuette......

Anyone in their right mind can see very clearly that the film's best film has little to do with the quality of the film.

Black people, homosexuality and a series of sensitive topics, coupled with the protests of the previous black people, who can't see that this film was made for the appetite of the Oscar judges, and it was simply for the sake of the Olympics.

Think about it, how many years did Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese press them because their intentions were too obvious?

It can only be said that those who can cry have food!

In fact, the problems of some groups are also used to by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, after the Oscar nominations list came out this year, blacks have received many heavyweight nominations, and this strange group is still dissatisfied!

Some black actors complained: In the past, why are Hollywood movies all white now, and black people are not given the opportunity to win awards, right? Now, what are so many black people doing in the Oscar nominations, discriminating against us, we can only rely on crowd tactics to win awards, right?

In the so-called Hollywood-style politically correct environment, blacks have long become a special group, and it is not too much to say that it is a group of black masters.

Also at this year's Oscars, although this black film won the best picture, the two old white actors announced the award and said another white-led song and dance film.

Afterwards, PricewaterhouseCoopers, as the teller, admitted that they had taken the wrong envelope and mistakenly handed the envelope for Best Actress to the award presenters, but Murphy had maliciously guessed that this might have been a premeditated action.

The two award presenters deliberately took the wrong envelope and deliberately mispronounced the name of the best film, in this way to announce their dissatisfaction with the so-called Hollywood-style political correctness and protest against those black people!

Even many Hollywood insiders have to admit that in some cases, white people have become the underdog in Hollywood......

Uncle Black has shown his victory at the Oscars in a special way, but as time goes on, when people look back at the history of the Oscars, some films will inevitably become a laughing stock like "Shakespeare in Love".

Hollywood has developed to the present, even Murphy has to admit that many external factors can not only affect the results of the Oscars, but even affect the final ownership of the Oscar statuette.

If you want to hit the Oscars and make a difference in the awards season, you have to look not only at yourself, but also at your competitors.

"A lot of films for the awards season have already been shown at the Cannes Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival." Bill Rothes knew about Murphy's plans and began to look at potential competitors a long time ago, "Judging by the media and professional word-of-mouth that has come out, this year could be a big year for the Oscars. ”

Murphy nodded slightly.

Bill Rothes continued, "Dallas Buyers Club, directed by Jean-Marc Valley and starring Matthew McConaughey, Blue Jasmine directed by Woody Allen, The Great Gatsby by Leonardo DiCaprio, Captain Philip by Tom Hanks, American Hustle directed by David O. Russell, and 12 Years a Slave by Steve McQueen. ”

"I've heard that ......," Murphy reminded, "Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity is also interested in awards season." ”

"Hmm." Bill Rothes nodded, "I'll keep people looking at their dynamics." ”

Murphy stood up and sighed softly, "We have a lot of competitors, and they're all very strong. ”

"Gravity", "Dallas Buyers Club", "American Hustle" and "12 Years a Slave" are not to be underestimated, especially "Gravity" and "12 Years a Slave", Alfonso Cuarón and Steve McQueen are both strong candidates for best director.

Needless to say, a Latino director was once crowned Best Director at this Oscar; The latter is a quintessential black film, simply the best representation of Hollywood-style political correctness, which will explode with a powerful ability to rush for awards in the face of black people screaming.

On the surface, Murphy seems to be more likely to win an award than the two in terms of ethnicity, but in today's Hollywood environment, Latino and black films are the advantage.

Compared with the one he won, the competition for this Oscar is significantly more intense.

Not to mention Best Director and Best Picture, James Franco and Margot Robbie's Best Actor and Best Actress are not dominant at all.

In the past, Heath Ledger's death was the biggest factor in being able to win the award, the power of death was extremely shocking, and no one would care about and compete with the deceased, and it was only the best supporting actor nicknamed the Honorable Elder Love and Child Award, awarded to the dead Heath Ledger, which is exactly in line with the spirit of this award.

Although James Franco does not have such a special advantage, and the award he applied for has become Best Actor, he is not without a chance of being nominated, after all, the film is no longer a comic book adaptation that is very discriminated against by the academy, but has become a noir crime realistic film that has been well received by the media and special people.

All of this will help James Franco get his nomination, but if he wants to win the award, he won't have any advantage against Matthew McConaughey and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Margot Robbie's situation is similar to James Franco, the difference between the roles before and after, especially the peculiar psychological changes, in many professional evaluations, that is, she is brilliant in her interpretation, maybe it is not difficult to get the nomination, if you win, Cate Blanchett, Sandra Bullock and Amy Adams, which have a greater advantage than her.

Fortunately, the situation is more unfavorable for "Dark City", Murphy had planned to wait until the awards season was approaching, and continue to provoke the hard-line Archbishop Márquez-Costello, but he did not expect that the changes were far faster than planned, and the shooting at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood caused the archbishop's ambition to wrinkle, so that the Catholic Church had the intention to seek Hollywood......

Standing on the cusp of the crazy wave, he and "The Dark City" passively became the representatives of Hollywood attacked by the Catholic Church.

From the point of view of public opinion, this is not a good thing, but from the perspective of Hollywood, it is definitely not a bad thing.

No one can guarantee the awards of James Franco and Margot Robbie, and the first thing CAA and Twentieth Century Fox want to guarantee is Best Director and Best Picture.

With the Hollywood press frantically hyping up the Catholic scandal, Murphy is ready to add another fire to it.
