On January 16, the Hollywood Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles was star-studded, dressed in fragrant sideburns, singing and dancing, and the 62nd Golden Globe Awards were grandly opened.

Since this year is a small year for awards, there are not many big-name artists in independent films, and the focus of countless topics in the past year - Mel Gibson, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston, Lancelot Strello and others are all absent, and the red carpet that has lacked topics in itself is even more lacking.

In the end, it was the "Flyer" team who stepped up to save the scene, and Martin Scorsese and Clint Eastwood, two veterans of the competition, in the best director department, became a hot topic; And Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, and Johnny Depp will fight in the Best Actor in the Drama category, which has become another hot spot.

In particular, the three actors, Leonardo, Tom and Johnny, joined hands to support the noise and boiling of the entire red carpet.

It's a pity that the awards ceremony that night was still lackluster, following the usual style of the Golden Globe Awards: lively, vigorous, everyone has a share, and the trend of almost all awards lacks surprises, "The Pilot", "A Cup of Wine Life", and "Stealing Hearts" The three works won most of the awards.

"The Aviator" had the last laugh in the three categories of Best Drama Film, Best Actor in a Drama Series, and Best Film Score, which can be said to be the result of the long wait, especially the victory of Best Picture in the Drama category, which continues the overall call of the awards season so far, and makes people feel the possibility of this biopic film sweeping thousands of troops.

Leonardo relied on the strong momentum of "The Aviator" to defeat Tom and Johnny and win the first Golden Globe trophy of his career as an actor, and has already taken the lead in the race for the Oscar, and is expected to lead the race to the finish line.

Tom's defeat is suffocating, but it has long been traced.

Corresponding to the strong performance of "The Aviator" in the nomination stage, "Killing with a Knife" almost all failed in the main project, which shows the tendency of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association; What's more, Tom has won three individual trophies before and after the Golden Globes, while Leonardo has not been nominated for any of his previous three nominations. Tom's defeat is regrettable in comparison, but Leonardo's victory is not too surprising – and it echoes the fact that the work took away the best picture in the drama category.

"Cup of Wine Life" and "Stealing Hearts" each won two trophies.

Winning Best Picture and Best Screenplay in the Musical Comedy category, "A Glass of Wine" is a testament to the film's acclaim during the awards season, even though it lags behind The Aviator in terms of the number of trophies, but the quality of the trophies is no slouch, especially in the highly competitive Best Screenplay category.

The two trophies of "A Cup of Wine Life" were won by defeating the most powerful competitor, "The Eternal Sunshine of a Beautiful Soul", which is undoubtedly a great encouragement.

Throughout the awards season, "The Eternal Sunshine of a Beautiful Mind" is known as a ghost work, Charlie Kaufman, who has created "Puppet Life", "Adapted Script" and other masterpieces, can definitely be called a strange person in Hollywood, this new work, Charlie once again opened his brain, dedicated the most special, most artistic, warmest script in 2004!

"A Cup of Wine Life" was able to have the last laugh in direct competition, and was already half a position ahead in the Oscar race.

"Stealing Hearts" completed the domination of the supporting actor department, and the two trophies of Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress showed absolute strength. This adaptation of the 1997 West End classic stage play in London is an impressive delving into all aspects of modern love in a fragmentary, jumping narrative structure, and the performances of the four actors are even more impressive.

This is even more true of the two protagonists, Cliff Owen and Natalie Portman, who steal the demeanor of the two protagonists, Jude Law and Julia Roberts.

In addition, the Best Actor in the Musical Comedy category was won by Jamie of the "King of Soul Singers" without any suspense, and there was a lack of surprises in the actress department, Hilary Swank relied on "Million Dollar Baby" to reach the top of the drama category, and Annette Bening won the musical comedy category with "Becoming Julia".

There is no suspense or controversy about the direction of these three trophies. Especially in the actress department, Hillary and Annette led strongly throughout the awards season, even "Vera Drake" Imelda Staunton could not be compared, and almost everyone decided that this year's Oscar queen will be born among the two. At present, Annette's voice is slightly ahead.

History is always strikingly similar.

In the seventy-second Oscar, the little-known Hillary Clinton relied on "Boys Don't Cry" to come out, and became the biggest spoiler when she was shortlisted for the Oscars for the first time. In the blink of an eye, five years have passed, and Hillary and Annette are once again on both ends of the competition for the Oscar.

The only thing that can barely be regarded as an accident is that "The Flyer" failed to win another city for Martin, and Clint won the trophy with "Million Dollar Baby". After missing out on the Best Director award, this also adds a touch of uncertainty to the Oscar prospects of "The Aviator", after all, in the history of the Oscars, Best Director and Best Picture are not from the same film, only 18 times.

The reason why it is barely surprising is because the winner Clint was originally the favorite.

As a benchmark for acting and directing in the industry, Clint won numerous praises for his cowboy image in Western movies in his early years, and now he has become a first-line director, enough to be compared with big directors like Steven Spielberg and James Cameron. Once again, people can see Clint's profound directing skills.

Therefore, Clint's victory over Martin cannot be regarded as an accident, just because the "Flyer" was too loud before, but Martin was not able to make a big move, which is really suffocating.

After the Golden Globe winners were announced, it was clear that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association was trying its best to create a great joy, with "The Aviator", "A Cup of Wine", "Stealing Hearts" and "Million Dollar Baby" leading the way, and "Becoming Julia" and "Soul Singer" winning in the acting department. Six works divided all the awards.

"Hotel Rwanda" and "Murder with a Knife" both went home empty-handed -- last year Diorama Pictures relied on "Lost in Tokyo" to occupy a slight advantage, but this year Diorama Pictures is in the same position as Chaos Pictures. Although it is said that each work is bound to be a little different every year, it is impossible to have an award every year; However, in such a special period, Diorama Pictures still seems to lack confidence, and the crisis of the situation is rising in a straight line.

The complete disappearance of "Murder with a Knife" from the list of winners also confirms the suspicion that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association did not take the work seriously from the beginning, and in the midst of the frenzy of praise in the public opinion circles, they have always taken a cold stance and refused to give more recognition to the work. Even Tom, who has always been happy to befriend the Golden Globes, was not able to make a breakthrough this time.

No one knows whether Lance's absence angered the Ballon d'Or or the Ballon d'Or's disregard angered Lance. But what is certain is that Reims, who has been hot in the past two years, is still tirelessly seeking more breakthroughs at the Ballon d'Or.

And what about next year? And the year after? Reims continues to miss the Ballon d'Or? The Golden Globes continue to ignore Reims? In the future, it is worth looking forward to who will extend a friendly hand first, that is, who will bow their heads first. Of course, it is also possible that Lance will not be able to replicate the miracle next year, return to silence and disappear on its own, such a situation is not uncommon in Hollywood, and perhaps the Golden Globes are waiting for this day.

However, compared with the tragic ignorance of "borrowing a knife to kill", after the Golden Globe Awards ended, people paid more attention to the complete neglect of "Looking for Neverland". In the nomination stage, "Looking for Neverland" was obviously in the first group, but in the list of winners, it was replaced by "Million Dollar Baby", which also coincided with the general trend of public opinion praise for this work.

On the one hand, people began to think about whether the excellence of "Finding Neverland" was a real thing, or whether it was just an imaginary created by public opinion; On the other hand, people can't help but start to pay attention to "Vera Drake" and "Murder with a Knife", are these two works more worthy of recognition than "Finding Neverland"?

With the end of the Golden Globe Awards, the main weather vane of the 2004 awards season has come to an end, of course, the American Producers Guild Awards, the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the American Editors Guild Awards and other important awards have only announced the nominations, and the list of winners has not yet been announced, but the first stage of competition around the Oscars has come to an end, because on the second day of the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, the Oscars announced the list of nominees.

This means that the first phase of the awards season will brush off most of the works, leaving only a small number of works to continue to fight, and then it will be the time for the nominees to start the second phase of the PR battle for the final golden man. Compared with the belonging of the little golden man, the nomination is the greatest affirmation of the strength of the work, even the five trophies of the Golden Globe Awards cannot be compared with the nomination seats of the Oscars, this is the truth of the awards season.

Will the first group, led by "Flyer" and "Cup of Wine Life", be able to maintain their advantage? Can "Vera Drake" and "Kill with a Knife" achieve a counterattack? Will Quest for Neverland be left behind? Who will come out on top of the awards year for the top Oscar award?

This qiē answer was revealed with the announcement of the Oscar nominations. (To be continued.) )
