Chapter 1481: Triple Blow
The 68th Oscars came to an end, and "Braveheart" was undoubtedly the biggest winner, winning five statuettes including Best Picture and Best Director. As a director and as a producer, Mel Gibson won two gold statues by himself and became the biggest winner of the individual.
In addition, "Apollo 13", "Love in the Wind", "Flashy Temporary Question", "Death Row Walk", and "Extraordinary Suspects" each won two small golden figures, especially "Death Row Walk" and "Extraordinary Suspects", two works that have not received enough attention before, actually won the four most important little golden figures - Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Screenplay, almost can be said to occupy half of this year's Oscars, and the momentum is not even inferior to "Brave Heart".
This is the biggest highlight of this year's Oscars.
"Hugo Lancaster crowned Best Actor!"
"Lancaster defeated Cage to win his second statuette."
"'Death Row Prisoners' and 'Extraordinary Suspects' shined, and 'Brave Heart' won the championship without suspense."
"Well deserved: Hugo won the Best Actor Award for his absolute strength!"
"The first actor under the age of 30: Hugo Lancaster."
"The night Hugo Lancaster and Emma Thompson wrote history."
"Sixty-eight-year-old Oscar broke the shackles, twenty-eight years old and one hundred and twenty-five days!"
"48 million people witnessed the birth of history!"
"The new Oscar-winner: Hugo Lancaster."
"Lancaster sniped Cage, Brandon won for the first time."
…………
According to incomplete statistics, there were a total of 61 media that reported the Oscars in the form of special features that day, of which there were a total of 47 news media with Hugo winning the best actor as the headline on the front page, and only seven were reported with "Brave Heart" winning the best picture.
Although "Braveheart" is the biggest winner, as the Chicago Tribune said, the average quality of the works in 1995 is far inferior to that of 1994, and in the end, the choice of "Braveheart" is not only not surprising, but also conservative and uninteresting, neither topical nor discussable, enough to arouse people's inner enthusiasm.
It is worth noting that "Braveheart" only grossed $60 million before the Oscars, and the audience's feedback on this film was obviously not as good as "Apollo 13", and even compared with "Death Row Walk".
Therefore, when the list of winners was announced, everyone's eyes were focused on Hugo.
In the past few years, Hugo's career development curve has been rising rapidly, even if there is a "before sunrise" such a seemingly low fluctuation during the period, but the overall momentum is still rising, originally 1994 was considered to be the apex of Hugo's career, and it is an almost insurmountable high point, but at the end of 1995, people realized that Hugo actually hit another peak, and now the 68th Academy Award laurel is the finishing touch to this peak, The result is truly supreme glory.
This is Hugo, people always think that they have seen his limits, but he immediately handed in a new answer sheet, refreshing people's understanding, from the box office to awards, from movies to music, Hugo deserves to be the first person in the United States today, enough to be compared with Michael Jackson, The Beatles, Marlon Brando, Clark Gable and others at their peak!
The superstar shines like no other.
Almost every step Hugo takes is creating a miracle and writing history, which makes people can't help but look forward to what history Hugo will create next? Will the "Independence Day" of the 20 million club be the next pinnacle miracle of Hugo, writing a history that people could never have imagined?
Less than a week after "Independence Day" was completed, people were already showing a lot of interest in the film.
Every year at the end of the Oscars, there is always a heated discussion about the wins and losses of each film, the attribution of each award, the year before it was "Schindler's List", last year it was "Forrest Gump", and this year it was Hugo Lancaster!
All the media throughout North America were buzzing about Hugo's second Oscar in three years, but for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, it was a disaster, and before anyone else noticed, it was a revolution. The fate storm is already brewing
"Once again, the ugliness of the Golden Globe winners has been confirmed: a slap in the face from the Academy."
The headline, an editorial in the Chicago Tribune, analyzes the Oscar winners from a special angle, and as the headline suggests, the huge difference between this year's Oscar and Golden Globe winners has almost brought shame to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which is now their internal reform. The root cause of the outbreak.
Among the much-criticized Golden Globe Awards winners this year, the most controversial are the six acting awards, and it is widely believed that the selection results of the Golden Globe Awards are not up to standard, and the list of winners is not only an upset, but more jaw-dropping. Since two months ago, people have pinned their hopes on the Oscars, and the Oscar winners are the measure of the professionalism and authority of the Golden Globes, and the "accident" of the Berlin Film Festival a month ago put the Hollywood Foreign Press Association on the cusp.
Now, now that the Oscars have come to an end, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which has high hopes from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, not only did not support them, but instead slapped them in the face, and the continuous triple blow directly damaged the vitality of the Golden Globe Awards, and the internal turmoil could no longer be suppressed, and it fell into a complete disintegration.
After the final winners of the four acting departments of the Oscars were released, people realized that the list of winners of the Golden Globe Awards was completely worthless, not only Hugo won the title of actor by relying on "Death Row Walk", and defeated the Golden Globe Award for drama actor Nicolas Cage, so that the whole biggest controversy was finally answered; is even more because there is only one overlap between the Oscar acting winner and the Golden Globe Award, and that is Mila Sovino for Best Supporting Actress.
Although the winner of the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Musical Comedy is Hugo, everyone is well aware that the winning work "Before Sunrise" did not even make it to the Oscar for Best Actor, which are two completely different things.
As we all know, the reason why the Golden Globe Awards divide the Best Actor and Best Actress into drama and musical comedy categories is to increase the topicality, attract more artists and works to be shortlisted, and create more attention; Second, in order to further improve the overlap rate between himself and the Oscars, ten nominations are used to guess five nominations for the Oscars, and two winners are to figure out the final winner of the Oscars.
But now, the six acting awards of the Golden Globes overlap with the Oscars, and they are also the most controversial - it is still widely believed that Kate Winslet's performance in "Sense and Sensibility" is more worthy of praise. This really disgraced the Golden Globe Awards.
This also confirms that the accusations of most media after the Golden Globe Awards are not groundless, and the final winners of the six major acting departments of the Golden Globes not only uphold the principle of sharing the cake, but also distribute it unfairly, which is a big disappointment. In particular, the attribution of the best actor in the drama category, although Nicolas Cage's performance has received countless praises, Hugo has the upper hand both in terms of absolute hard power and the strength of past masterpieces, including the comprehensive table of many works throughout the year. Maybe Nicholas can be recognized in the Film Critics Association, which has always had a strong regional color, but in comprehensive awards such as the Golden Globes and Oscars, Hugo is the one who really deserves the award.
What's even more terrifying is that among all the winners of the Golden Globe Awards, only three departments have maintained the same status with the Oscars, except for Best Supporting Actress, only Best Director and Best Screenplay have completed the coincidence, which is tantamount to a bolt from the blue for the Golden Globes, which has always prided itself as the "Oscar weather vane".
Looking back after the Oscars, Hugo's absence from the 53rd Golden Globe seems to be a matter of course, and Hugo's persistence has not only been rewarded, but also supported by the whole of Hollywood. Even the Golden Globe Awards, after facing Hugo, may not be able to gain the upper hand, this is the current situation in Hollywood.
Majana Blerikang and Michael Russell are both aware of this, and they both know that the Ballon d'Or is now the ultimate in humiliation, things can't get any worse, and it's impossible to get it back now. Therefore, they all know that the biggest task at present is not to calm the external storms, but to resolve internal contradictions.
Majana is completely overwhelmed right now, because she can't afford to ignore the reputation of the Golden Globes - if she lets go, it will become a weakness for others to constantly attack, and at the same time she has to deal with internal opposition, which is completely stretched. Under such circumstances, Majana immediately submitted a proposal to terminate the cooperation agreement with NBC TV, so that the Golden Globe Awards will return from a commercial event to a professional perspective, which is the most direct refutation of the doubts of the outside world.
But Michael disagreed, and his idea was much simpler: to replace Magjana and take control of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Michael not only opposed Magjana's proposal, but also believed that the commercial value of the Golden Globes should be further developed. Compared with professionalism and authority, the Golden Globe Awards are definitely not comparable to the Oscars, so the Golden Globes are to become a commercial event that everyone is willing to come to, and become the best publicity platform for countless films to compete for the Oscars.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Club is already divided internally, and after the triple blow, it has ushered in the time for a change of dynasty, but no one knows where the Golden Globe Awards, which have experienced the vicissitudes of half a century, will eventually go.
After the Oscars, there was a storm; But on the night after the Oscars, Oscar Night was in full swing, and it was a different battlefield, a completely different battlefield.
