1001 Golden Globe nominations

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoFor most viewers, their expectations for the Oscars are simple: Did you see the winning work? This is also the most direct and effective reflection of the Oscar's influence - the box office of the winning works can often be bonus.

Naturally, the 70th Oscar in which "Titanic" won Best Picture and the 76th Oscar in which "Lord of the Rings 3" had the last laugh became the two most watched events in history. There are commercial films with excellent box office every year, but there are not often commercial films that have the ability to hit the Oscars.

This year, the birth of "Fury Road" is undoubtedly the focus of the world's attention, this work breaks all the impossible and writes the myth of miracles; What is even more commendable is that the artistic height and ideological depth of this work have won unanimous praise. If "Fury Road" can win an Oscar, then this myth will be truly complete, an R-rated movie, a cult movie, a film destined to be ostracized, boycotted, and despised by the academy, a film that challenges the dominance of the academy's rigid old pedants, can it break the shackles of the academy after breaking the shackles of the market, and achieve the goal of "Brokeback Mountain" falling short last year?

It's like a warrior vs. a dragon, just thinking about it makes people's blood boil.

But that's just the beginning. When the awards season finally became lively, Chaos Pictures finally took the initiative, and the first independent production of "Queen", which broke away from Lance, made a strong debut, and received a lot of praise, from the script to the heroine, from the director to the film, showing excellent competitiveness in all aspects, and the media comprehensive evaluation with a score of 91 points proved this. Even without Lance in charge, Chaos Pictures still showed excellent competitiveness.

The whole work of "The Queen" presents the turbulent emotions from a calm and gentle perspective, and the restrained and delicate performance is even more eye-catching, on the surface, the film focuses on the week that the Queen least wants to look back on, but in fact it tells about the restlessness of the whole society.

Once upon a time, warm and quiet, profound and simple, gentle and arrogant, subtle and straightforward, this is the attitude of the elite aristocracy, but also a common characteristic of the highly educated upper class, seemingly depressed, but with a fatal elegance, but with the advancement of the times, this "quality" is disappearing little by little. No one knows if this is a good thing or a bad thing. The "Queen" conveys this crampedness and apprehension, dancing lightly, but leaving an imprint in the heart.

With ease, "The Queen" has won the hearts of all critics, and the strong momentum is catching up, and it has faintly emerged from the chaos, showing that it is not inferior to works such as "Babel", "The Departed", and "Little Sunshine Beauty".

It can be seen that the focus of Chaos Pictures' public relations strategy still falls on the "Queen", which is a work created for the awards season, biographical films, human brilliance, wonderful performances, solid scripts, every link has hit the high point of the Oscars' group of old pedants, and it can be said that this year's awards season is the most Oscar-style work so far. In contrast, the "Fury Road" sword takes a bloody path and seems to have surprised Chaos Pictures - obviously, the magical journey of this work continues.

Before the end of 2006, the sluggish and chaotic awards season began to gradually become clear, with the first group led by "Fury Road" slowly unveiled, followed by the main members of the second group also began to surface, and with the announcement of the Golden Globe Award nominees, the reality of the awards season finally began to become certain.

In the past few years, although the Golden Globe Awards have been controversial and the compatibility with the Oscars is also declining, it is undeniable that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's public relations methods are indeed superb, and the "balance" is in full swing, whether it is the "aviator" awarded the year before last, or the bold recognition of "Brokeback Mountain" last year, which has been appreciated a lot, compared to the Oscars, the Golden Globe Awards, which always seem to be at the forefront of the trend, are much more approachable and keep pace with the times.

This year, in a fog, the major award ceremonies are crossing the river by feeling the stones, and things are much simpler for those film critics associations, anyway, they will only choose works according to their own preferences, and they don't need to worry about the trend of the Oscars at all; But for the Golden Globes, this is really a huge problem, how to retain entertainment while maintaining the aura of the Oscar weather vane, is by no means easy, even the cunning Hollywood Foreign Press Association is difficult to start.

In this situation, they announced the list of nominees for the 64th Golden Globe Awards, there are many familiar faces, but there are even more inexplicable unfamiliar faces, this list really makes people exclaim "I can't read".

Among the high-profile best films in the drama category, "Babel", "The Departed", "The Queen", "Fury Road" and "Bobby" made it to the final five.

Wait, "Bobby"? What is this work? It's not "being a mother" and "scandal chronicle", it's not "the flag of my fathers" and "letters from Iwo Jima", it's actually "Bobby"? This immediately confused everyone, and the film "Bobby" seemed to have no movement throughout the awards season, and although it won the "Biographical Film Award" at the Venice Film Festival, the award really didn't get any attention, and no one mentioned it after returning to North America.

Of course, this production gathers stars such as Anthony Hopkins, Demi-Moore, Sharon-Ston, Elijah Wood, Helen-Hunt, William H. Massey, and other stars, recreating the night of Robert Kennedy's assassination, the cast and subject matter are worth paying attention to, but ...... This is indeed not a work worthy of praise. So much so that after the list of nominees came out, everyone was confused and full of question marks.

In contrast, the other four seats are not in dispute and are largely expected. Still, the "Fury Road" nomination received a round of applause, not only for the film's box office success, but also for the film's shocking feat of breaking the shackles of the mainstream, and now finally receiving authoritative recognition from the professional authorities - although the "professional" of the Golden Globes must be put in quotation marks.

On the other hand, the list of nominees for Best Picture in the Musical Comedy category was also quite frustrating, with "Dream Girl", "Borat", "Thank You for Smoking", "Queen Wears Prada", and "Little Sunshine Beauty" won the final nominations.

Among them, the emergence of "Dream Girl" is really a bit confusing - because when the Golden Globe nominations were announced, the film had not yet been officially released, and only held small screenings in New York and Los Angeles. But after the screening, the reputation of "Dream Girl" inexplicably began to skyrocket, and director Bill Condon, who directed "Gods and Beasts", "Kinsey/Sex/Professor" and wrote "Chicago", received countless followers, and some even shouted that "Dream Girl" is even better than "Chicago" - the latter won the Oscar for Best Picture.

What's even more exaggerated is that "Dream Girl" has also been fully praised in other links, Jamie Fox and Eddie Murphy, two comedians are considered to have given the best performances of their careers, and are expected to hit this year's Oscars for Best Supporting Actor, if this is still expected, then Beyoncé, who starred in the film for the first time, and Jennifer-Hudson, who was born in "American Idol", are considered to be strong contenders for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. This seems a little ridiculous - when did the singer's debut get such high praise? According to this logic, Giselle Bundchen of the "Fury Road" deserves to win a place!

If it is said that "Dream Girl" has been released and accepted by the audience, then such praise is enough; But now it seems to be a castle in the air, a mirage, and countless flowery rhetoric can't find a support point at all, which makes people really confused. Taking a step back, "Letter from Iwo Jima", which has also been screened in Los Angeles and New York, has not been nominated for Best Picture in the Drama category, does the subtext mean that Clint Eastwood is not as good as Bill Condon? This is simply a great miracle in the world!

Corresponding to "Dream Girl" is the tepid work of "Borat", "Queen Wears Prada", and "Thank You for Smoking", especially the first two works. "Borat" and "The Queen Wears Prada" are both commercial films, and although both have won good word-of-mouth and box office, neither work is far from being the "best". If the political ridicule and metaphor of "Borat" still show the overall thickness and depth, then the "Queen Wears Prada" wrapped in a gorgeous costume is much inferior, but the musical comedy department of the Golden Globe Awards is originally an "entertainment", and such a result is barely acceptable.

Strictly speaking, only "Little Miss Sunshine" is eligible for the nomination for Best Picture in the Musical Comedy category.

The ten nominations for Best Picture in the Drama and Musical Comedy categories can be said to be unpopular, even on an entertainment-oriented occasion like the Golden Globe Awards, it seems a little weak this year, and what is even more ridiculous is that the Best Director department has once again appeared a spectacle: Martin Scorsese of "The Departed", Alejandro González Iñárritu of "Babel", and Lancelot Strello of "Fury Road" have made it to the final five, while the remaining two seats are the "Banner of the Fathers" Clint Eastwood and "Letter from Iwo Jima" Clint Eastwood won.

Yes, Clint alone won both nominations for Best Director. Even for the Golden Globes, this list of nominees looks shocking.
