This year's awards season has been particularly interesting, as the battle has gradually started to heat up as we enter the New Year, but as the Golden Globe nominations indicate, "Babel" and "The Departed" are undoubtedly at the center of the discussion, both have their pros and cons, but they are both suitable choices for the Academy; What's more, both productions are all-star casts, and the topics and hype are effortless, easily attracting the attention of all audiences, and the academy's PR is like a fish in water. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At the same time, the momentum of "Dream Girl" suddenly began to skyrocket, and the shouts were unmatched for a while, and the tide of praise has thought that this work is the real destiny of this year's awards season, compared to "Babel" is too obscure, "Departed" is too commercial, and the "Dream Girl" that perfectly combines dreams and freedom is undoubtedly the best choice, and what is even more rare is that "Dream Girl" alludes to the true story of Motown Music Company in the United States in the sixties, just like "Sunset Boulevard" and "Comet Beauty" Such a ridicule of the Hollywood industry always wins a full house at the academy.

Quietly, Paramount has grown into Warner Bros.' biggest competitor this year's awards season, something that no one expected.

Comparatively speaking, the discussion of "Fury Road" seems to be slowly cooling down.

On January 10th, "Fury Road" officially surpassed "Titanic" and became the new box office champion in North America, for a while, the whole of North America rejoiced, congratulatory messages flew all over the sky, and under the promotion of people's concerted efforts, an R-rated movie actually made history, breaking the shackles since the implementation of the rating system, which is even more incredible than the sensation of "Gone with the Wind" - the latter firmly holds the position of the champion in film history in the case of calculating inflation, even if it is 2015's "Star Wars 7" Nor can it be surpassed.

But behind such brilliant results, the sound of the "Fury Road" awards season has gradually precipitated. It's not that it's gone away or retreated, but Hollywood industry professionals have consciously or unintentionally begun to cool down, when it comes to the number one favorite in the awards season, "Fury Road" has fallen behind "Babel", "Departed" and "Dream Girl", and can only be regarded as the fourth seed, this situation has formed a strong contrast with the enthusiastic pursuit of the audience and the media, which makes people can't understand it.

Now, the news of "Fury Road" seems to be everywhere, and when people mention "Departed", they always mention the great achievements of "Fury Road" at the commercial box office; When people talk about the Tower of Babel, they will think of the wonderful setting of the different races in the wasteland apocalypse. While people are arguing about whether the "Dream Girl" is good enough, the madness and persistence of chasing freedom like a moth to a fire in "Fury Road" makes people's blood boil...... No matter which work is mentioned, "Fury Road" follows closely, but for the film's Oscar prospects, the noise has obviously begun to cool down.

It's incredibly descriptive - how is it possible that the work with the most heated discussions, the most popular topics, the best word-of-mouth feedback, and the best box office performance is not the number one favorite of the awards season? It's hard to figure it out, but in fact, it's not surprising.

Some people believe that "Fury Road" has touched the bottom line of many men, and it has nothing to do with masculinity, but the movie has successfully shaped the image of the female protagonist, and has achieved great success, and the future male actors will be affected in terms of salary, casting, influence, added value, etc., which also means that the film has lost the support of a large number of male votes, and the prospects in the awards season are naturally all the way down.

Some people think that "Fury Road" may be difficult to please in the eyes of feminism, and the film does not mention a few words about how Ferosa went from a slave to a general, but the comparison between Ferosa's past tribe and the undead old Joe tribe is insinuating discrimination against women, which is unacceptable to feminists. Therefore, the number of women's votes also seems to be wavering, and they are not falling to the "road of rage" as expected.

Others argue that the rise of Chaos Pictures has not only impacted the interests of the Big Six, but also the authority of the academy - after all, the top of the Hollywood pyramid has been in power for many years, and change means that someone must hand over some of the benefits, which must be painful. Therefore, the leadership that wields power and reaps profits will not be willing to disarm easily, and will do everything in their power to suppress the "berserk road", even if it comes at the cost of courting the "queen" - the latter, although also produced by Chaos Pictures, is a standard awards season production, in line with the current trend.

These rumors are not only circulating in Hollywood, but the major news media have also revealed relevant meanings in and out of their reports on the awards season, although they are not explicitly stated, but they still awaken people's memories of the controversy in the summer, "Fury Road" seems to be unpleasing to both sides, always on the cusp of controversy, it has now been five months, but the controversy caused by the movie still does not seem to have dissipated - the R-rated film has become the box office champion in film history, is there really no water injection in the data? A cult movie has become a mainstream benchmark, but can it really compete with a classic like "Star Wars"? The title of the top seed in the awards season is earth-shattering, but it is not worthy of the name, and the prospects of the work in the major award ceremonies are obviously not so good, isn't it Chaos Pictures selling itself and boasting?

Because of this, the momentum of "Fury Road" to impact the awards season is clearly weakening. What is even more in contrast is that this year, Chaos Pictures' appearance in the academy's public relations has begun to become more frequent, showing a different posture from previous years, but it seems that the harder Chaos Pictures works, the worse the situation becomes, and now it's not just the "Furious Road", but even the "Queen" has been affected.

What does such a result mean, what does it mean, and what can it change?

In the midst of the controversy, the attitude of the people reflected on the Internet is a completely different picture. Just like the controversy in the summer, people will naturally get their own judgments and opinions as long as they go into the cinema and watch this work, which is precisely the reason why "Fury Road" is so good, this is not just a commercial popcorn, but also a work that can make people think and discuss, and its artistic height depends on the depth of the audience's thoughts.

Needless to say, this is a far better work than "Star Wars". Whether it is a man, a woman, a mainstream media, a minority, a professional film critic, or an amateur audience, people should actively express their opinions, but they should also actively express their support, such a work that finds a high balance between business and art will become a crucial piece in the long history of cinema, and no one should ignore it. Oscar once missed "Citizen Kane", missed "2001: A Space Odyssey", missed "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Pulp Fiction", followed by "Saving Private Ryan" and "Brokeback Mountain", is he still missing "Fury Road"?

On the IMDB 250 list, "Fury Road" is the champion, and the number of ratings has exceeded 1.2 million, clearly showing what it means to be "popular among the people". However, no matter how loud the voices of ordinary people are, what can they do? They are not qualified to vote, they cannot change the decisions of those judges, and they cannot even shake the opinion of the media.

On the eve of the Golden Globe Awards, rumors spread within Hollywood: the best picture in the drama category will belong to "Babel", the best picture in the musical comedy category will go to "Dream Girl", and the best director will be Martin Scorsese's long-cherished wish.

There are countless predictions during awards season, and not only the media, but also the studios themselves make internal predictions and judgments; But this news is conclusive, as if the outcome of the Golden Globes has been predicted, which is really not normal, especially in this year's melee situation.

Among the predictions of the Golden Globes in the major media, the best picture is currently "The Departed" and "Little Sunshine Beauty", and the best director Clint Eastwood and Martin Scorsese are really a dilemma, and no one can judge. But this rumor directly made the final choice, and between the bold and decisive decisions, people smelled some abnormal breath; What's even more peculiar is that the breadth and depth of the rumor is far beyond imagination, as if someone is behind the scenes to promote this rumor, even Warner Bros. believes that this is a news circulating within the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and many people have congratulated Martin in advance.

It's not normal, it's really abnormal. Although it is said that the major film companies racked their brains for the public relations of the academy, they made any means; But spending so much effort just to promote a rumor? What exactly is this for? To discredit competitors, or to exalt yourself? This really doesn't make sense, even if it is implied that the Golden Globe Award winning results have insider operations, but this rumor is not right: because the three works in the prediction are from different teams, even Paramount's "Babel" and "Dream Girl" are also divided into two departments, the former is Paramount's advantage, and the latter is Paramount's headquarters, could it be that Warner Bros. released the wind in order to discredit Paramount?

The rise of this rumor is really a bit clueless, and in the blink of an eye, the whole of Hollywood knows about it, but it seems to have no purpose.

However, rumors are just rumors after all, and similar news is updated several times a day, even if the rumors are hot, it is not surprising; Moreover, the rumors are only circulating within Hollywood, and the news media have not reported on them, so everyone just laughs it off and does not pay much attention to it.

The 64th Golden Globe Awards kicked off in this eerie atmosphere.
