The Berlin Film Festival, which has always been hidden in the corner of attention, has become the focus of everyone's attention, and the Golden Globe Awards, which have always stood under the spotlight to accept applause, have become everyone's laughing stock, and it is hard to imagine that this is actually a situation caused by an actor. But, this is Hollywood, where all the impossible can become possible.

When the Berlinale came to an end, the debate over the six acting awards at the Golden Globes reached its climax, and naturally it was accompanied by questions about the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Is this association really a non-profit organization? What are their judging criteria? Where exactly is their authority? Isn't there really anything wrong with the awarding?

Almost overnight, the "Hollywood Foreign Press Association" became a target for gunfire, and countless doubts poured in, making the association look like it was going to fall apart at any moment.

But Magena knew that it was not just Hugo's cause, but more importantly their own internal struggle, and only they knew how much of her instructions and how much of Michael's instructions were behind these doubts. But it is undeniable that now the Golden Globe Awards have indeed reached a turning point in development, and no one can be sure of the future direction.

With the topic raised by the Berlin Film Festival, the eyes of the world are instantly focused on the Oscars that will be held in a month, and perhaps all the controversy and all the doubts will come to light at the Oscars, when the Golden Globes will turn over or fall into hell, maybe a conclusion can be drawn.

The Oscars, the award ceremony with the highest attention, authority and topicality in the world, took advantage of the situation and announced the list of nominees for the 68th Academy Awards in the center of the topic vortex.

Among the most watched Best Picture competitions, the current momentum of "Sense and Sensibility" undoubtedly occupies a place, and the rave reviews "Pig Baby" also made it to the final five without any suspense, but the other three works are quite interesting, "Braveheart", "Apollo 13" and "Death Row Walk" were successfully shortlisted!

The list of nominees for Best Picture at the 68th Academy Awards is interesting, with "Sense and Sensibility", "Braveheart" and "Apollo 13" rounding out the top five Golden Globes in the drama category, while "Baby Pig" is the final winner of the Golden Globe Award in the Musical Comedy category, but the problem is "Death Row Walk".

"Death Row Walk" was a good success at the Golden Globes, but it did not make it to the final five, and among the nominations for Best Picture in the Drama category, the Golden Globes chose "Far from the Casino" and "The Dream of the Covered Bridge", but the Oscars gave a completely different answer.

Due to the special nature of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, in the nomination stage, the judges will only vote in their own departments, and in the selection stage, they will be able to vote for all departments.

For a simple example, Hugo is now an actor, so he can only vote for the four awards of Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress in the nomination stage, and he can also vote for Best Picture; After the list of nominees is out, Hugo will be able to vote for all the categories when the winners are selected among the final five finalists.

This is mainly to ensure professionalism, especially in the professional departments of sound, makeup, costumes, etc., during the nomination stage, a wide range of members of the academy will reduce professionalism, after all, it is impossible for an actor to see all the sound editing and sound excellent works of the past year like a sound engineer.

Moreover, even when it comes to the award voting stage, most of the actors will leave the professional awards empty and do not vote, which is also to avoid their non-professional opinions from affecting the awards. Of course, this is voluntary, and each of the academy judges has the right to vote for all awards except for the best foreign language film.

Therefore, generally speaking, people will think that the nomination shows absolute strength, and winning the award requires the right time and place, and a little luck.

Now, the name "Death Row Walk" has appeared in the list of nominees for the Oscar for Best Picture, which is not only an affirmation, but also the biggest irony of the Golden Globes. The shortlistings of "Sense and Sensibility" and "Baby Pig" were expected, and the overall strength of "Braveheart" and "Apollo 13" was also slightly ahead, which also made the shortlisting of "Death Row Walk" the biggest surprise in the entire list of nominees.

The list of nominees for Best Director that followed brought a succession of surprises, and the director of "Pig Baby", Chris Nooan. Noonan), Mel Gibson, director of "Braveheart", and Tim Robbins, director of "Death Row Walk", were shortlisted, while the other two seats belonged to Mike Figes of "Far from Las Vegas" and "The Postman" (IL. postino)" Michael Ledford (Michael. radford）！

This also means that Lee, who is the favorite to win the award "Sense and Emotion". Ann actually lost the election! This also makes the prospect of "Sense and Sensibility" above the Oscars suddenly unclear, obviously, in the eyes of the Academy, they prefer "Pig Baby" to "Sense and Sensibility".

"Baby Pig", "Braveheart" and "Death Row Walk" were nominated for Best Picture and Best Director at the same time, which also brightened the prospects of the three works at once, and the list of nominees alone can read too many details and connotations. At the same time, this also makes the six director nominations of the Golden Globe Award boring.

There were not many surprises in the much-anticipated Best Actor category, with Nicolas Cage in "Far from Las Vegas", Richard Dreyfus in "Life Because You Listen", Anthony Hopkins in "Nixon Biography", and Hugo in "Death Row Walking" all made the cut, with the only difference being Massimo Trosi, the actor of "The Postman". Troisi) occupied the last seat.

After the previously neglected "Postman" suddenly gained momentum, the Italian production also took its place in the fiercely competitive best foreign language film, and the future suddenly brightened.

However, it is clear that in the competition in this department, the biggest attraction is the duel between Hugo and Nicholas, these two actors have been almost equal in many previous award ceremonies, and the strength and momentum of the two actors are not equal.

Hugo is twenty-eight years old, and Nicholas is only thirty-one; Hugo won an acting nomination for the third consecutive year, and Nicholas's previous "Moonlight" and "Vegas Honeymoon" were not nominated for the Oscars, but they still received good reviews and won nominations at the Golden Globes; Both actors have contributed to the best performances of their careers, and their works have been nominated for other Oscar awards; But Hugo just won Best Supporting Actor two years ago, is it really time to quickly win a second statuette? Nicholas, on the other hand, had no such concerns......

It can be said that the competition between the two actors is undoubtedly the most eye-catching, and no one can predict where the victory or defeat of Thin Ice will go.

More importantly, the direction of the Oscars, the little golden man, will determine the situation of the Golden Globes - if Nicholas wins, it is equivalent to approving the conclusion of the Golden Globes, which is tantamount to a huge victory for them; But if Hugo wins, from Berlin to the Oscars...... Just by imagining it, you can know the catastrophe that the Golden Globes are about to face.

This also makes the actor contender surpass the competition for best picture, becoming the biggest suspense and highlight of this year's Oscars, just reading the list of nominees is enough to make people's blood boil.

The list of nominees for the Best Actress category is even more interesting, Susan Sarandon in "Death Row Walk", Elizabeth Sue in "Far from Las Vegas", Meryl Streep in "Covered Bridge Dreams", and Emma Thompson in "Sense and Sensibility", there are no surprises in the top four, and they are also consistent with the Golden Globe Award nominations for Best Actress in a Drama Series, the problem is the last spot.

It was Charlize Theron who won the seat "Before Sunrise"!

At this moment, everyone exclaimed, not only because Charlize was among the top five nominees for his upset, but also because Charlize squeezed out the Golden Globe Award drama actress Sharon Stone! It was a slap in the face to the Foreign Press Association of Hollywood, and while Charlize was nominated for Best Actress in a Musical Comedy at the Golden Globes, the whole thing was very different.

Putting aside the controversy of the Golden Globes, last year's Sundance received countless sought after "Before Sunrise" finally bloomed at the Oscars, behind Charlize's nomination for the actress, but people can't help but speculate that the academy's affirmation of "before sunrise" is bound to become Hugo's added value, and Hugo's outstanding performance in this work will also increase the impression score of the academy judges, so that Hugo can get more support in the competition for the best actor.

Of course, Charlize's performance in "Before Sunrise" is also worthy of recognition, the actress who is only 20 years old has won the love of almost everyone, which reminds many people of Jodie Foster - the superstar who won the Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the age of 14, won his first Oscar for Best Actress at the age of 26, and won the second Actress at the age of 29.

Charlize is also one of the contenders after being nominated for the actress, and although the odds are relatively small, if she wins, she will break Marie Matlyn (Marlee). Mattlin) at the 59th Oscar in 1987 relied on "Pity on God's daughters (children. of。 a。 lesser。 God)" set a record when she won the Oscar, when she was only 21 years old and 218 days old.

Just from the list of nominees for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Actress, it can be seen that the predictions made by everyone relying on the Golden Globes have been scattered, and the Oscars' subversion of the Golden Globes is obvious, although there is still a full month before the awards ceremony, but it seems that the Golden Globes have become a laughing stock.
