The end of the year always seems to make people extremely excited. Party, preview, charity party, major award ceremony... Christmas, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day... It is both a moment of summarizing the year and a moment of welcoming the new year. The joy of bidding farewell to the old and welcomed the new is always unexciting. Even in the Namibian desert far away from the African continent, you can still feel the joy of the New Year, let alone the North American continent, as the center of the world's entertainment, it is about drinking and singing, singing and dancing, and living intoxication and dreaming. The passage of time has begun to become less important. The only criterion for measuring parties and parties is held.

Of course, for Hollywood's big and small film companies, this is the moment of harvest. The only criterion for measuring time is the Oscars. The Golden Globe Award, as the Oscar vane, just ended five days ago. The Oscar nomination list will be announced tomorrow. The American Producers Union nomination list has ten days to count down... and so on.

The Oscar Little Golden Man may not be the most authoritative award ceremony in the world, because it cannot represent everyone's aesthetic taste, but there is no doubt that it is the most influential film award ceremony in the world. A Little Golden Man represents not only honor, but also commercial value and additional benefits. Therefore, every film practitioner is willing to go through fire and water just to win a Little Golden Man.

This year's end is particularly noisy.

The reason is very simple, but it is also very complicated. It can be simply summarized as a dispute over interests; it is more complicated to explain it specifically. To sum up, one person disrupts the entire chess game and makes major film companies hinder. The strategy of the awards season seems to have to be taken care of.

Lancelot-Stralo, this name really makes many people hate it.

Not long ago, major film companies joined forces to squeeze the living space of Chaos Pictures. It seemed that the whole of Hollywood was united, so Chaos Pictures had to go far away to Africa and flee in a panic. However, during the awards season, the situation was quite subtle. On the one hand, Chaos Pictures is a common opponent of everyone. No one wants to see the continuous rise of this medium-sized film company, or even continue to challenge their rule; at the same time, no one underestimated the strong strength of Lance in artistic creation, and has fully demonstrated its performance in the past two Oscars.

On the other hand, they must be careful of each other's opponents. Suppressing Chaos Pictures but making their own opponents stand on the podium is the real loss. For some companies, they would rather Chaos Pictures rise than directly compete for their competitors to win. After all, Chaos Pictures has a long way to go to reach their level, and even DreamWorks is not that easy.

On the other hand, it cannot be ignored. During the awards season, major film companies can provide powerful public relations resources, but what is really maintained in the awards is personal appeal - for example, Lance and Martin Scorsis compete for the best director Xiao Jinren, then no matter what the power balance behind the two people, Martin will have an absolute advantage. The college's public relations will naturally be twice the result with half the effort. If Lance wants to complete a counterattack, it will definitely be half the result with twice the result. In other words, the part that major companies can operate is really limited.

What's more, no one can ignore the pressure caused by the public opinion situation. During the public relations process of the college, public opinion needs to be used to build momentum, but at the same time, they have to worry about the negative impact of public opinion orientation - Lance avoids Africa, "Fruit Hard Candy" is silent, and it seems that all signs are indicating that the powerful Hollywood figures are standing behind George Clooney in the "plagiarism door", so that the real victims disappear. This sounds like the real story of "Good night, good luck" has been repeated, so ironic. Therefore, major film companies have temporarily stopped, and "Lancelot-Stralo" seems to have become a sensitive topic, like a hot potato.

The intricacies and intertwining of all this can not be described clearly in a few words, making this awards season particularly lively. But the fact is that such a chaotic situation left enough space for Chaos Pictures, which is exactly the real reason why the Weinstein brothers were able to rise at the time.

The awards season pattern, like a ball of yarn, was still unclear until multiple weather vanes announced the nominations and even the awards were awarded. Even after the Golden Globe Awards ended, things were still covered with a layer of fog, which made people scream that they couldn't understand.

For example, Warner Bros. They were the biggest seed players this year. "Good night, good luck" can almost be said to be unstoppable, and can be called "the right time, place, and people". As long as this momentum continues, it is a foregone conclusion to make a successful Oscar. It is not impossible to take advantage of the opportunity to win the Best Picture. However, this work not only failed to lead the awards season, but almost dragged Warner Bros. into the water, which forced Warner Bros. to shift its energy to works such as "Sin Ruina", "Violence History", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", and "Northern Storm", but its momentum is obviously not comparable to "Good night, good luck".

For example, the focus films under Universal Pictures, seed contestants include "Brokeback Mountain", "Pride and Prejudice", "Immortal Gardener", etc. Almost every work has the ability to win the Oscar for the best film nomination, so they have no time to pay attention to Chaos Pictures. They just need to be good at themselves, select the right works, and then create them with their hearts. It is not difficult to defeat Chaos Pictures. This has caused Universal Pictures to begin to point its head at Warner Bros. and Sony Classics, which owns "Capport", "Golden Producer", "Memoirs of Art/Benefactor".

For example, Chaos Film, this up-and-coming show completed the triple jump in just three years, and this year it has become a powerful rival that can compete with Focus Pictures. The two works "Fruit Hard Candy" and "Squid and Whale" have made Chaos Film firmly occupy a place in the awards season. Although both works are small and low-cost, the two works have an amazing exploration of the social core and life aspects of life. Even compared with last year's "Glass of Wine Life", it can even be said that "Fruit Hard Candy" is better. This also means that Chaos Film has participated independently in the awards season for the first time, and actually began to challenge the throne with a new attitude, disrupting the entire situation.

In addition to the above works, DreamWorks' "The Last Point" and "Munich Tragedy", Twentieth Century Fox's "Walking with Songs", Universal Pictures' "Iron Fist Men" and "King Kong", Paramount Pictures' "Busy Rivers"... These works have all occupied a place in the melee of the awards season, and the flowers are gradually fascinating in the troubles, making people unable to see the direction of the entire awards season at all.

But what is certain is that Lance, who has been igniting in Hollywood for a while, is still the enemy of the public. As long as it can suppress Lance and Chaos Pictures behind him, without hurting his own interests, every film company is very happy to come over and step on it. Among them, Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures can definitely be said to be gritting their teeth - showing a completely different determination and determination from Universal Pictures.

Warner Bros. decisively cut off his arm and abandoned George Clooney and "Good Night, Good Luck" at the first time. The ruthless attitude of cutting the mess with a quick knife showed Barry Mayer's domineering aura. This work, which was hailed as the "No. 1 seed player this year" at the beginning of the preview, disappeared completely after entering the awards season. It can be said that it was completely out of the public's sight in almost all aspects. It was not seen at major awards ceremonies, even the low-level film critics association. The evolution from heaven to hell is very sad. More importantly, no one in the news media even mentioned this phenomenon, as if "Good Night, Good Luck" had never appeared, and those good reviews that were once just a bunch of bubbles.

This decisiveness has no one in Hollywood that can stand out. Barry not only killed "Good night, good luck" and George's future and destiny, but also killed the possibility of Lance's revival with the help of this work. He almost completely banned the entire work in an attitude of eliminating the roots, implicating the entire crew - especially the male lead David Stratzen. After he won the title of actor in Venice, many people thought that he could be shortlisted for the Oscar Awards battle, but now... everything is over.

At the same time, Warner Bros. sent "Sinrina" to the post, and this move implies many profound meanings.

Although George participated in "Shinrina", unlike "Good Night, Good Luck" almost every link is closely related to George, so he encountered a continuation. George was only a supporting actor in the "Shinrina" crew. Even if people still complain about George, they were embarrassed to implicate others - Matt Damon, Chris Cooper, Christopher Plummer (pher-r), and Stephen Gaghan are all representatives of good popularity in the circle. Instead, they will give more sympathy to the "Shinrina" crew because of the desolate situation caused by "Good Night, Good Luck", which makes "Shinrina" advantageous in the awards season.

Once "Sin Ruina" can break through the shackles, George will be able to stand under the spotlight again. His good popularity, his good eloquence, and his good demeanor will surely bring back the disadvantages bit by bit. At that time, the situation will be unpredictable.

Going further, as a political thriller work, the temperament and style of "Xin Ruina" have wonderful commonalities with "Fruit Hard Candy", which are cold, solemn, desolate, cruel, and bloody. The award departments that the two works focus on during the awards season are also quite similar. The best film is probably a bit overwhelming, the best director, the best original script, the best supporting actor, and the best editing will all be direct head-on. In other words, the two works will have direct duels in multiple departments, or even a life-and-death duel.
