Chapter 1413: Award Presentation Puzzle

Now in its 53rd year, the Golden Globes have undoubtedly become one of the most important comprehensive awards ceremonies in the United States today. For the Golden Globes, commercial victories and attention are undoubtedly the top priority, and they are difficult to compete with the Oscars in terms of professionalism and authority, so for them, holding a national carnival is the primary goal.

But over the past two years, the Golden Globes have been stymied in achieving this goal for only one reason: Hugo Lancaster.

1992's "Smell the Fragrance of a Woman" and "Yihai Heroes", 1993's "Sleepless in Seattle" and "Schindler's List", 1994's "Vulgar", in three years, the Golden Globe Awards gave Hugo a total of five acting nominations, but all of them returned empty-handed, especially last year Hugo lost to Tom Hanks in the competition for the best actor, which surprised many people.

This was accompanied by Hugo's absence from the Golden Globes for two consecutive years, especially last year, when Hugo rejected the Golden Globes in favor of the Sundance Film Festival, which embarrassed the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and the focus of the whole news was completely unexpected. In the end, the actor award was taken away by Tom, and people will naturally say that it is precisely because of Hugo's absence that the Golden Globe Awards once again ignored Hugo's wonderful performance, and Hugo continued to refuse to attend because of the ignorance of the Golden Globe Awards...... This creates a vicious circle.

But in fact, this qiē is not intended, and the Golden Globe Awards naturally hope that Hugo can attend, as the most charismatic actor in the world today, Hugo's attendance is very important for the Golden Globe Awards. It's just that the development of events, which no one including the Hollywood Foreign Press Association expected—last year's victory over "Forrest Gump" over "vulgarity" was a completely narrow victory, and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association kept it for once, but as a result, things went in an unpredictable direction.

Now, Hugo is the first person in Hollywood, and his absence is unacceptable for the Golden Globes; But at the same time, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association also knows that Hugo is kind and courteous, although his relationship with reporters has never been very good, but as long as the reporter does not take the initiative to provoke, Hugo is also very willing to show friendliness, such as the two fifteen-year-old paparazzi who have recently become famous, Hugo's attitude has always been very friendly; What's more, Endeavour Elite Agency is now determined to break the pattern of the Hollywood brokerage industry, and they are also actively expanding their network, and Hugo's attendance at the Golden Globe Awards is also very necessary for them, and they believe that Rick Rosen will take the initiative to promote this attendance.

So, it's a win-win situation.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced the list of nominees for the 53rd Golden Globe Awards two weeks ago, which quickly attracted the attention of countless people.

The five Best Picture in the Drama category went to "Sense and Sensibility," "Apollo 13," "Braveheart," "Far from Las Vegas," and "The Covered Bridge." bridges。 of。 madison。 ty)" occupies the five spots for Best Picture in the Musical Comedy category, which is divided between "Baby Pigs," "The White House," "Shorty," "Toy Story," and "Before Sunrise."

This list of nominees can basically be said to include all the works repeatedly mentioned by film critics at the end of the year, "Nixon's biography", "Life is beautiful because of you (mr. holland’s。 opus)", "Death Row Walk" and other works can be regarded as unexpected, but it is not an accident, including "The White House", "The Short Man", "Before Sunrise" and several other works, the quality of the finished products is almost the same, and whoever is selected is considered normal.

However, in the end, it was "before sunrise" that was selected.

When the list of nominees came out, people generally believed that this was a sign that the Golden Globes were showing favor to Hugo, and the ten best picture seats were dedicated to Hugo, you must know that Hugo's three works last year were slightly inferior in terms of overall strength, especially "Before Sunrise" as an eclectic independent literary work, and from the widely ignored Sundance Film Festival, winning the nomination for Best Film in the Musical Comedy category can be said to be a breakthrough.

Of course, "Before Sunrise" also has such qualifications, the film not only won the Silver Bear Award for Best Director at the Berlin Film Festival, but also the original script, actor, and heroine's performances are also wonderful, which has aroused all-round praise, and the nomination can be said to be well-deserved, but "The White House" can defeat the "Seven Deadly Sins", "Death Row Walk", and "Life Because You Listen" were shortlisted, which is considered by many people to be a big and small underdog.

In particular, "Away from the Casino" defeated "Death Row Prisoner Walk" to rank among the top five drama works, which is really worth playing.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association's urgency is vividly reflected in the list of nominees for the best director department, and they actually gave six seats for the first time, Mel Gibson for "Braveheart", Mike Figes for "Far from Las Vegas", Ron Howard for "Apollo 13", and Lee for "Sense and Sensibility". Ahn, Tim Robbins of "Death Row Walk" and Martin Scorsese of "Las Vegas (O)" rounded out the final prize contention.

Among them, Martin's nomination was considered an upset, which is also a clear signal of the Golden Globe Awards showing favor to Martin, "Pig Baby", "White House Romance", "Before Sunrise", and "The Dream of the Covered Bridge" The four directors were all rejected, which is obviously a pity.

The two works of "Death Row Walking" and "Away from the Casino" are similar in style, quality, and level, and choose one of the best solutions, but the results were both shortlisted, and broke the customization of the five seats for the best director, and added one seat.

Even at the Golden Globes, this is a rare sight.

In the competition for Best Actor in a Drama Series, Nicolas Cage of "Away from the Casino" and Richard Dreyfus (Richard of Life Because You Listen to You). Dreyfuss), Anthony Hopkins of Nixon, Richard III. iii)" of Ian McKellen and Hugo Lancaster of "Death Row Walk", competed.

The most surprising thing was the defeat of Tom Hanks of "Apollo 13", which is also widely regarded as a signal from the Golden Globes: they are willing to reward Hugo this year!

Hugo is once again in the list for Best Actor in a Musical Comedy, with "Before Sunrise" being shortlisted for this award, and Hugo is competing with John Travolta for "Shorty", Michael Douglas for "The White House", Harrison Ford for "Sabrina", and "New Father-in-law 2." of。 the。 pride。 part。 ii)" Steve Martin.

This also means that Hugo has won the double nomination of the Golden Globe Award again, and three double nominations in four years, such a feat is not only unprecedented, but also probably unprecedented. But that's not the end of it, Hugo won four nominations this time! This is the biggest surprise at this year's Golden Globes.

In the race for Best Supporting Actor, Hugo won a nomination for a place with his brilliant performance in "The Seven Deadly Sins", and he will once again face off against Brad Pitt of "Twelve Monkeys", which is also a continuation of the hottest topic at the end of last year, the other three contenders are Kevin Spacey of the "Extraordinary Suspects" and "Rob Roy. Roy)" of Tim Ross and Ed Harris of "Apollo 13".

In addition to this, Hugo's "Before Sunrise" script was also shortlisted for Best Screenplay, along with Emma Thompson's "Sense and Sensibility", Tim Robbins' "Death Row Walk", Aaron Sorkin's "The White House", Randall Wallace. Wallace, Scott Frank. Frank's "Short Man in the Race" for the final competition.

In "The Shawshank Redemption" last year, Hugo joined the ranks of screenwriters as a participant to compete, but at that time, people were more just looking at the excitement, but "before sunrise", Hugo showed everyone his excellent ability to control words, and this time the finalist is undoubtedly a positive affirmation.

It's just that the Best Screenplay Award has set up six more nomination seats, which is also another wonder after the director department, which is worth playing.

Hugo alone won four nominations, three of which spanned all the departments of the actor, which is the first feat in recorded film history, even the Golden Globe Awards, which are extremely common in double egg yolks, are still amazing, including the best supporting actor department Hugo and Brad in the showdown again, which is really exciting.

The Golden Globes don't just pay attention to Hugo, they pay enough attention to Hugo's work as a whole, "Before Sunrise" also won Charlize Theron her first nomination for Best Actress in a Musical Comedy, and "Death Row Walk" also won a place in the competition for Best Actress in a Drama.

It can be said that in addition to the beautiful "Sense and Emotion" and "Brave Heart", Hugo's three works have achieved proud results in the nomination stage, which can also show the sincerity of the Golden Globe Awards.

But the question is, what will happen to the awards? Hugo has won eight acting nominations and two screenwriting nominations in four years, will he blossom this time? Hugo has won nominations in all three actor categories, and the momentum is extremely strong, but at the same time, the vote-sharing crisis is also unprecedented, will Hugo go go empty-handed again? If Hugo could win the award, what would it be, would Hugo be there in person, and if so, what would be the acceptance speech?

There is no doubt that the 53rd Golden Globe Awards quickly became the focus of attention after the nominations were announced, and whether Hugo is willing to appear at the Hollywood Hilton Hotel again after two years after the smear incident at the 1992 Golden Globe Celebration Banquet is not only the most concerned hot spot for countless audiences, but also the most concerned topic of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

Long before the list of nominees came out, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association personally called Endeavour Elite Agency – expressing its anticipation for this year's awards ceremony in the name of a routine greeting from organization to organization. However, Endeavor Elite Brokerage has always been playing Tai Chi, only replying with official polite remarks, which also puts a huge question mark on the upcoming Golden Globe Awards.

At this time, there is less than a week left before the official start of the Golden Globe Awards, but the Hollywood Foreign Press Association still has not received a response from Rick Rosen.
