1001 Golden Globe Nominations
Asiders watch the excitement, while experts watch the tricks. For most viewers, their expectations for Oscars are very simple: have they seen the winning works themselves? This is also the most direct and effective reaction of the Oscar influence. The box office of the winning works can often be increased.
Naturally, the 70th Oscars that won the Best Picture and the 76th Oscars of "The Lord of the Rings 3" that ended up laughing, became the two highest-rated events in history. There are excellent commercial movies every year, but commercial movies that have impacted the Oscars and Little Golden Man are not often found.
This year, the emergence of the "Raging Road" is undoubtedly the focus of attention all over the world. This work breaks all impossible and writes the myth of miracles. What is even more commendable is that the artistic height and depth of thought of this work have won unanimous praise. If "Raging Road" can win the Oscar, then this myth will be truly complete. A R-level movie, a cult movie, a movie destined to be excluded by the college, boycotted by the college, and despised by the college, and a movie that challenges the dominance of the rigid and old scholars of the college, can the goal of breaking the shackles of the college and achieving the goal of "Broken Back Mountain" failing last year?
It's like a warrior fighting a dragon. Just thinking about it makes people excited.
However, this is just the beginning. As the awards season finally became lively, Chaos Film finally took the initiative to attack. The first work "Queen" that left Lance and independently produced was made strongly, and received a lot of praise. From the script to the heroine, from the director to the film, it showed excellent competitiveness in all aspects. The media comprehensive review of up to 91 points proved this. Even without Lance, Chaos Film still showed excellent competitiveness.
The entire work of "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 movie focuses on the week when the queen least wants to look back, but in fact it tells the restlessness of the entire society.
Once upon a time, warm and quiet, profound and simple, gentle and arrogant, subtle and straightforward. This is the attitude of elites and nobles, and it is also a common feature of the upper class with high cultural cultivation. It seems to be depressing, but it has fatal elegance, but with the advancement of the times, this "literacy" is disappearing bit by bit. No one knows whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. The "Queen" conveys this cramp and uneasy, dancing lightly, but leaving a mark in his heart.
It is easy to easily, the "Queen" won the hearts of all film critics, and its powerful momentum is catching up. It has stood out from the chaos vaguely, showing a momentum that is not inferior to works such as "Tower of the Sky", "Walker in the Spot", and "Little Sunshine Beauty".
It can be seen that Chaos Film's public relations strategy focuses on the "Queen". This is a work created for the awards season, a biographical film, a glorious human nature, wonderful performances, and solid scripts. Every link hits the exciting points of the Oscar group of old scholars. It can be said that it is the most Oscar-style work so far this year's awards season. In comparison, the "Rampant Road" sword takes a detour and breaks out of a bloody path, which seems to be beyond Chaos Film's expectations. Obviously, the magical journey of this work is still continuing.
The sluggish and chaotic awards season finally began to become clearer before 2006 was about to end. The First Group, led by the "Rampant Road", slowly unveiled the veil, and the main members of the Second Group, which followed closely behind, also began to surface. With the announcement of the Golden Globe nomination list, the real feeling of the awards season finally began to become more accurate.
Although the Golden Globe Awards have been controversial in the past few years and their compatibility with the Oscars has also declined, it is undeniable that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's public relations methods are indeed superb, and they have mastered their "balance" in one hand. Whether it was the commendation of the "flyer" two years ago or the bold recognition of "Brokeback Mountain" last year, this has been praised. Compared to the Oscars, the Golden Globe Awards, which seem to be at the forefront of the trend, is more approachable and keeping pace with the times.
This year, in the fog, all major award ceremony are crossing the river by feeling the stones. For those film critics associations, things are much simpler. Anyway, they only choose their works according to their preferences and do not need to worry about the trend of the Oscars at all. But for the Golden Globes, this is really a huge problem. How to maintain the aura of the Oscar vane while retaining the entertainment quality is not easy. Even the cunning Hollywood Foreign Press Association is difficult to get started.
Under such circumstances, they announced the nomination list for the 64th Golden Globe Awards. They had many familiar faces, but there were more strange faces inexplicably. This list really made people scream "I can't understand it."
Among the highly anticipated best films in the drama category, "Tower of the Sky", "Walker in the Strike", "Queen", "Rampant Road" and "Bobby" were shortlisted for the final five.
Wait, "Bobi"? What kind of work is this? It is not "being a mother" and "scandal chronicles", nor "the flag of my father" and "letter from Iwo Jima", but it is "Bobi"? This immediately made everyone confused. "Bobi" work seems to have no movement throughout the awards season. Although it won the "Bobi Award" at the Venice Film Festival, this award really has no attention, and no one mentioned it after returning to North America.
Of course, this work brings together stars such as Anthony Hopkins, Demi Moore, Sharon Stone, Elia Wood, Helen Hunter, William H. Messi, and other stars, recreating the night when Robert Kennedy was assassinated. The cast and themes are worth paying attention to, but... this is indeed not a worthy work. So much so that after the nomination list came out, everyone was confused and full of question marks.
In comparison, there was no dispute in the other four seats, and they were basically expected. Despite this, the nomination for "Rampant Road" won applause, not only because of the box office achievements of this work, but also because of the feat of breaking the mainstream shackles of this work, and now it has finally been recognized by the profession. Although the "professional" of the Golden Globe Awards must be quoted.
On the other hand, the list of nominations for the best films in music comedy is also quite helpless, including "Dream Chasing Girl", "Borat", "Thank you for smoking", "Queen wearing Prada", and "Little Sunshine Beauty" won the final nomination.
Among them, the emergence of "Dream Chasing Girl" is really confusing. When the Golden Globes were nominated, the movie was not officially released, and it was only held in a small preview in New York and Los Angeles. After the preview, the reputation of "Dream Chasing Girl" inexplicably began to soar. The director Bill Conton, who once directed "Gods and Beasts", "Kimsey/Sex/Professor" and wrote "Chicago", was sought after countless times, and some even shouted that "Dream Chasing Girl" is even better than "Chicago". You should know that the latter won the Oscar for Best Picture.
What's even more exaggerated is that "Dream Chasing Girl" has received comprehensive praise in other aspects. Both comedians, Jamie Fox and Eddie Murphy, are considered to have dedicated their career best performances, and have hope of hitting the best supporting actor for this year's Oscar. This is still within expectations. Then, Beyoncé, who starred in the movie for the first time, and Jennifer Hudson, who was a "American Idol", are considered to be the strong contenders for the best supporting actress and the strong contender for the best supporting actress. This seems a bit ridiculous. When will the singer's debut actor get such high praise? According to such logic, Gisel Bundchen, who "Rampant Road", deserves to win a place!
If "Dream Chasing Girl" has been released and has been judged by the audience, then it would be fine if it was praised; but now it seems like a castle in the air, a mirage, and countless gorgeous rhetorics cannot find a support point, which makes people really confused. Taking a step back, the "Iwo Jima Letter" that has also been previewed in Los Angeles and New York has not been nominated for the best film in the drama category. Does the subtext mean that Clint Eastwood is not as good as Bill Conton? This is simply a world-famous blunder!
Corresponding to "Dream Chasing Girl", "Borat", "Queen of Prada", and "Thank You for Smoking" are lukewarm, especially the first two works. "Borat" and "Queen of Prada" are both commercial films. Although both have won good reputations and box offices, both works are far from being "best". If the political mockery and metaphors of "Borat" still show the overall thickness and depth, then "Queen of Prada" wrapped in Chinese costumes is much inferior. However, the music and comedy department of the Golden Globes is originally a "entertainment", and such results are barely acceptable.
Strictly speaking, only the work "Sunny Little Beauty" meets the nomination and recognition of the best film in the music comedy category.
The ten nominations for the best films in the plot and music comedy categories can be said to be unpopular. Even in the Golden Globes-like entertainment-first occasion, it seems a bit overwhelming this year. What's even more absurd is that the best director department once again has a strange scene: Martin Scorses of the "Walking Walker", Athondro Gonzalez Inaritu of the "Tower of the Sky", Lancelot Strero of the "Rampant Road" respectively was shortlisted for the final five, and the remaining two seats were won by Clint Eastwood of "The Flag of the Father" and Clint Eastwood of "Iwo Jima".
Yes, Clint won two nominations for Best Director alone. Even for the Golden Globe Awards, this nomination list seems shocking.u
