Even years later, the 2006 awards season was described as "the most chaotic year ever." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Fury Road", which is leading from the box office to word-of-mouth, has not been able to show the strong dominance of "Titanic" and "Lord of the Rings 3", and has fallen into a bitter battle during the awards season, not only because of the cult attribute of this movie, it can be said that it completely shattered the mainstream style, which is incompatible with the college's consistent reserve and conservatism, and almost every detail is challenging the college's sensitive/sensitive; It's also because Hollywood is going through a distinct period of pain.

This stage has nothing to do with the film industry, but is related to the awakening of social ideology, just like the birth of the Beat Generation culture after World War II, which has derived a large number of related works of art, after entering the 21st century, the powerful influence of the Internet has brought the society into a stage of change, from the birth of "Brokeback Mountain" in 2005 to break the taboo shackles, to the 2006 "Furious Road" to awaken cultural diversity, the rise of minorities and disadvantaged groups, This change in social ideology is projected onto the film industry. It can be said that the small awards season reflects the changes in society.

But this change is a radical metamorphosis for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and it requires not only courage, not just boldness, but sharpness – a trait that the Academy lacks. 1940's "Citizen Kane" was a complete revolution in filmmaking techniques, 1967's "Male and Female" was a subversion of antihero culture and screenplay structure, 1975's "Jaws" and 1977's "Star Wars" marked a new era of commercial cinema, and 1994's "Pulp Fiction" brought about narrative innovations and the rise of independent cinema...... These films have a common characteristic, they attracted much attention and recognition that year, and the Oscars were nominated for affirmation, but they all failed in the end - especially for Best Picture and Best Director.

It is not surprising, then, that 2006 was turbulent. Even without the existence of "Fury Road", "Little Sunshine Beauty" and "Babel" in 2006, "No Country for Old Men" and "Juno" and "Blood is Coming" in 2007, and "Social Network" in 2010, all continued the chaos of this painful period.

In the final analysis, the awards season is just a mirror, a mirror that reflects social changes, cultural changes, and historical changes; The reason why the Oscars are special is not because of its long history, but because of its huge membership base, with more than 6,000 members voting, reflecting the courage, courage and sharpness of the film industry.

It missed "Citizen Kane", it missed "Male and Female Thieves", it missed "Pulp Fiction", and it missed "Brokeback Mountain", so, this time, will it miss "Fury Road"?

Judging from the development results of the previous life, it was still missed after all, and it was not until the "Birdman" in 2014 that the college showed enough courage; And what about this life? The wheel trajectory of history has undergone a huge deviation, the process of the times has taken on a new look, last year's "Brokeback Mountain" and "Fruit Hard Candy" almost made a breakthrough at the last moment, but unfortunately it was "crashed" at the end of the door to complete the turnaround, so what about this year?

After the Golden Globe Awards ended and the Oscars announced the list of nominees, there were still ten days to go, and the whole Hollywood was full of rumors. The reason why people attach importance to the Golden Globes is that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's strong network plays a crucial role as a weather vane; What's more, at the awards ceremony dinner for national entertainment, it will be the best place for college public relations, and after the Golden Globe Awards end every year, the wind direction and momentum will change drastically, so the awards season can be divided into the first half and the second half with the Golden Globe Awards as the axis. This year is no exception.

The 2006 awards season reached unprecedented heights, and the intensive announcement of the nominations of the five major trade unions added fuel to the fire and completely detonated this volcano that had been dormant for a long time.

The first to appear on the Screen Actors Guild broke out in an upset!

"Fury Road" Lance was actually shortlisted for the Best Actor competition, which really broke through the glasses of countless people, which made people see Johnny Depp for three years again - he was not only nominated for the outstanding performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean", but also won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actor in one go, although he was not able to continue the miracle at the Oscars, but it still caused an exclamation, is this time Lance going to continue the magic?

Another upset came from Leonardo DiCaprio, the upset was not his defeat, but his selected works, the highly acclaimed and expected to hit the best picture "The Departed" actually failed, replaced by "Blood Diamond". Objectively speaking, the overall quality and momentum of "Blood Diamond" are far from being comparable to "Departed", which is very unfavorable for the college's public relations; And Leonardo's performance in "The Departed" is also better, more delicate and richer than "Blood Diamond". However, the list of nominees is like this, and the name of "Blood Diamond" is clearly visible.

There is also a third upset, Ryan Gosling with a strong rise of "half Nielsen" to grab a place in the nomination, the twenty-six-year-old actor was previously unknown, the only work that can be won is the chick movie "Love Notebook", I didn't expect this year to be tepid in the first half of the awards season, but accelerated in the second half of the game, making the first major breakthrough of his career.

The last two seats were not in doubt, with Forrest Whitaker of the "Last Dictator" and Peter Otto of the Last Eros winning the nominations. But there is a fourth upset here, Will Smith, who just won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Drama, was squeezed out of the list of nominees!

The amount of information is really too much, and the heart can't be loaded.

In addition to the Best Actor category, "Fury Road" also won a spot each for Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress, the most notable of which was that Gisele Bundchen won the Best Supporting Actress nomination for the first time, and was also the second model after Kim Basinger to be nominated for a major awards award in the awards season. If you add Jennifer Hudson, who was born in the reality draft, this year's awards season is really weird.

Incredibly, "Fury Road" was also nominated for Best Group Performance, tied with "Babel", "Departed", "Dream Girl", "Little Sunshine Beauty", this result is needless to say, the Screen Actors Guild expressed its support for "Fury Road" with practical actions, and they gave this work the same treatment as the original "Titanic".

The Writers Guild of America Awards, which announced the list of nominees immediately after, in the Best Adapted Screenplay category, "The Departed", "Borat", "The Queen Wears Prada", "Being a Mother" and "Thank You for Smoking" occupied five nomination seats, except for "The Departed", the other four seats were more or less unpopular, especially the three comedy films were shortlisted.

The same is true for the Best Original Screenplay department, there is no suspense about the shortlistings for "Little Sunshine Beauty", "Babel", and "Queen", but "Pen Survival" and "Thriller Flight 93" occupy the remaining two seats, which seems surprising, both works have very limited exposure during the awards season, and the awards received are even more insufficient.

"Fury Road" failed to win the nomination, and Lance's record of having nominations in screenwriting for three consecutive years has not been able to continue, but objectively speaking, the script of "Fury Road" is slightly weak, highlighting Lance's writing power and depth of thought, and it relies more on the magnificent framework to complete, and the plot and plot itself are not enough to stand out in this year's fierce competition.

Subsequently, there were not many surprises from the Editors Guild of America, and all the popular works were successfully shortlisted. In the drama department, "Babel", "Departed", "Fury Road", "Queen" and "Thriller Flight 93" won nominations; In the musical comedy department, "The Queen Wears Prada", "Dream Girl", "Little Sunshine Beauty", "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", and "Thank You for Smoking" were successfully shortlisted.

The biggest surprise was the failure of "Eavesdropping Storm", "Pan's Labyrinth" and "Letter from Iwo Jima", three critically acclaimed foreign-language works that failed to break the language barrier and be recognized by the American Editors Guild.

As the most authoritative and professional award among the five major unions, the Directors Guild of America Awards not only has the highest compatibility with the Oscars, but also the prestige and reputation of the winners are also the most recognized. This year's Directors Guild of America Awards is clearly facing a severe test, with fierce competition reaching its peak and the final list of nominees being highly anticipated.

Martin Scorsese of "The Departed" and Alessandro González Iñárritu of "Babel" were undoubtedly successful in the shortlist; Lancelot-Strello of "Fury Road" won the nomination for the fourth year in a row, earning a round of applause; The remaining two spots were both upsets, with Bill Conton of "Dream Girl" and Jonathan-Dayton and Valerie-Faris of "Little Sunshine Beauty" making last-minute comebacks to make it to the top five.

"The Queen" Stephen Freis, who has been honored throughout the awards season, fell off the chain at the most important Directors Guild of America Awards, and fell through a shard of glasses; And Clint Eastwood, who won two nominations at the Ballon d'Or, also went home empty-handed, a result that literally sparked an exclamation from everyone.

Due to the high overlap rate between the Directors Guild of America and the Oscars, the list of nominees came out, which immediately pushed the atmosphere of panic in the awards season to the extreme. But in the midst of this wave, it is clear that the "Departed" and "Babel" firmly occupy the nomination seats, and the four major unions that have been announced so far are all like this, continuing their strength, and the momentum of the "Fury Road" has been unstoppable, except for the script, the comprehensive affirmation of the other three major unions shows the general trend.

It seems that quietly, the troika of the 2006 awards season has finally been revealed, and now there is still the American Producers Guild, which is also an award closely related to the nomination of best picture, and whether the "troika" lives up to its name is about to be revealed.
