The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 738: Acting double mention
It was another year of awards season, another year of Golden Globes, and another year of Oscars. It seemed that just in the blink of an eye, the sleeping behemoth woke up again, attracting attention from all over the world.
For the Hollywood Foreign Correspondents Association, authority is obviously not the focus of their attention, entertainment to death is. In order to create explosive spots, to attract attention, and to stardom, they can make "compromises and retreats", for example, nominating works such as "Deadly Companion Travel" for terrible works; for example, awarding the best film in the musical comedy category Give the "Hangover" wonderful popcorn; for example, there are six nominations for an award, or double egg yolks running all over the floor.
This year is no exception. The same formula, the same taste.
Among the best films in the drama category, a total of six works have won nominations, "Descendants", "War Horse", "Help", "President Killing", "Penalty Kick", and "Hugo".
In addition to relying on the overall comprehensive strength to kill a **** "help", behind each work is a top superstar who sits and joins: George Clooney and Alexander-Payne (Alexander-Payne) "descendants" , Steven Spielberg’s "War Horse", George Clooney and Ryan Gosling’s "President Killing Game", Brad Pitt’s "Penalty Kick", Martin Scorsese’s "Hugo".
This is a difficult problem that cannot be chosen. As a result, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association gave up the choice and generously gave six nominations, all in one fell swoop. Typical Golden Globe practice.
However, on the whole, in the awards season so far, these six works are indeed temporarily ranked first in the group, plus several other works that regret not being selected, "Love Is Crazy", "Life" "Tree of the Tree", "Cooker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy", "Girl with Dragon Tattoo", these works are bound to have a battle in the second half of the subsequent awards season.
As always, the competition for the best film in the musical comedy category has always been relatively inferior. This year’s five nominations are no exception. They are "Artist", "Cancer-Fighting Me", "Midnight Paris", "Me and Monroe's" One week", "bridesmaids".
Among these, the most noteworthy is Woody Allen. As for the other works, the topicality and attention-grabbing are slightly inferior. However, the short-listed two small-cost comedies, "Anti-Cancer Me" and "Bridesmaids", became the masterpieces of this year, which is undoubtedly a highlight.
It is worth mentioning that the "artist" work, after receiving good reviews at the Cannes Film Festival this year, the male protagonist Jean-Dujardin (Jean-Dujardin) successfully picked off the Cannes actor, and then the Weinstein brothers bought it and released it. Copyright, and then embarked on a unique journey to the awards season.
They flew all over the world to attend various film festivals, large and small, including Moscow, Montreal, Toronto, Athens, Zurich, New York, Austin, Amsterdam, etc.; but the quality of the finished films has not been sufficiently recognized, Telliu Ryder, Venice, Oslo, London, Rome and other important film festivals have rejected applications for this work.
Despite this, the Weinstein brothers still used the sign of "remembering the golden age of Hollywood" to reawaken the self-intoxication and self-affirmation of the college judges. After being ignored by many film critics, they succeeded in the first stage of the awards season. Before the curtain came to an end, I was nominated for the Golden Globe Award and sounded the clarion call for counterattack.
It is rumored that George Clooney, who has two works of "Descendants" and "President Killing Bureau" in hand this year, personally endorsed Jean-Jardin and led Jean to enter the Hollywood academy public relations circle-even the "President" Ryan Gosling, the protagonist of "Slaying the Game," was not treated like this. This work is also known as the first work tailored to the aesthetics and preferences of Hollywood academies since the concept of the 1998 awards season was officially born. This is a love letter to Oscar.
As a result, this year's best film in the musical comedy category also adds to the suspense. Is it the old man Woody who remains strong, or the "artist" holding high the flag of counterattack, or is it the "bridesmaids" copying the miracle of the "hangover" that year? To some extent, the topicality is more interesting than the average drama department.
In addition to the best film, the five seats for the best director are Martin Scorsese of Hugo, Alexander Payne of Descendants, George Clooney of President Killing, and Woody Allen of "Midnight Paris" and Michel-Hazanavicius of "Artist" joined forces to carve up.
Among them, the little-known Michelle is undoubtedly the biggest bright spot in this year's nomination list.
However, compared to the star-studded cast and the topic again and again, the director's nomination list seems calm. Among the cast members on the nomination list for this year's Golden Globe Awards, it can be said to be wonderful again and again.
The first is the actress department.
Best Actress in a Drama Series, Meryl Streep of "Iron Lady", Viola Davis of "Help", Felicity Jones of "Crazy Love", Glenn-Colse (Glenn-Colse), who is "male and female", and Rooney Mara of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," successfully ranked among the top five nominations.
The new generation of Felicity and Rooney became the biggest gains in 2011. Last year, the rise of Gen Y continued again; Viola of the Mesozoic, Meryl and Glenn of the older generation, these three They are all well-known old drama bones in the industry, and their absolute strength makes their nomination no suspense.
On the whole, there is not much controversy in this nomination list, only "We need to talk about Kevin" Tilda-Sinton (Tilda-Sinton), "Depression" Christen Duns Special (Kristen-Dunst), Layla-Hatami (-Hatami) of "One Time Parting" did not make the finalist, but it is not a big surprise.
Best Actress in a Musical Comedy, Michelle Williams from "My Week with Monroe", Kate Winslet and Judy Foster from "Killing", Charlize Say from "Youth" Long, Christine Wegg of "Bridesmaids", received the nomination.
This year’s musical comedy department was generally calm. Christine won the nomination with the dark horse "bridesmaids" at the box office. This was a windfall. The "artist" Berenice-Bejo did not declare the heroine, but chose instead. With a supporting actress, it is not surprising that she is absent from the competition in the department.
Best Supporting Actress in the Department of "Artist" Begenis-Becchio, "Help" Octavia-Spencer (Octavia-Spencer) and Jessica Chastain, "Sexually indistinguishable" Jeanne McTeer (-McTeer), the "crazy in love" Jennifer Lawrence, is on the list.
On the whole, this year is a typical Hollywood year-popular movies are mainly works by male actors, and the overall competition among actresses is still weaker, "indiscriminate", "help", and "crazy in love". "The three works have received multiple nominations from actresses for acting skills, and they have become this year's dazzling works.
Among them, the up-and-coming Jessica Chastain, Rooney Mara, and Felicity Jones undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention.
Followed by the actor department.
Best Actor in a Drama Series, George Clooney of "Descendants", Ryan Gosling of "President Killing", Michael Fassbender of "Shame", Brad-of "Penalty Kick" Pete, as well as the "crazy" Renly Hall, managed to occupy five seats.
In this list, the "Hoover" created by Leonardo DiCaprio and Clint Eastwood has encountered the avalanche waterloo of word-of-mouth, two Oscar-level top stars, each other The collaboration failed to create the effect of “one plus one is greater than two”. This work became the worst finished product of the two superstars in the past ten years, which caused a lot of surprises.
Best Actor in a Musical Comedy, Jean-Jardin of "Artist", Renly Hall of "Cancer I", Owen Wilson of "Midnight Paris", and Brydan-George of "Bad Guard" Lisson, Ryan Gosling of "Crazy Stupid Love", will start a head-to-head competition.
On the whole, the five nominees did not have the slightest surprise, and there were not many surprises among the unsuccessful actors. It can be said that it is a fairly satisfactory list of nominations.
The musical comedy awards of the Golden Globes seem to have become a tasteless one. Every year, the attention has been off track. People are obviously more curious, whether "bridesmaid" and "hangover" prank comedies can be used in art. What achievements are gained during the awards season for the purpose, not how good the comedians are.
The reason why Kim Carey is so affirmed is that he is the last "master of comedy affirmed by art" since the 21st century. After him, Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler, and Will -The comedian led by Farrell was almost invisible during the awards season until Steve-Carell's sudden revelation in 2014, which ended the comedian's decline every year.
This year’s five nominations prove this to a certain extent. Except for Owen Wilson, who is an authentic comedian, none of the other four nominees can be regarded as comedians in the strict sense.
The last is the best supporting actor department, Christopher-Plummer of "Beginner", Jonah Hill of "Penalty Kick", Vigo Mortensen of "Dangerous Way", "Desperate" Albert-Brooks of "Driving" and Kenneth Branagh of "My Week with Monroe" received nominations.
Compared with supporting actresses, the supporting actor department is a bit quieter, the weight of the entire nomination is weak, and the overall quality of "Dangerous Method" is limited ~lightnovelpub.net~Desperate Driving" Albert's performance can only be said. On average, Jonah, as a new-generation comedian, was nominated for "penalty kicks", rather than being tainted by producer Brad Pitt.
The only thing worthy of recognition is Christopher, the old drama bone, a golden actor who has become famous since the 1960s. He has delivered award-winning performances for the second year in a row.
The entire actor department has received a lot of positive and positive "Warriors", without a single nomination, this is undoubtedly the biggest upset, Joel-Edgerton (Joel-Edgerton), Tom-Hardy (Tom-Hardy) ), Nick-Nolte and many other actors were completely ignored and failed to replicate the feat of last year's "Fighter", which is embarrassing.
In addition, works such as "Killing", "Girl with Dragon Tattoo", "Shanghai Tong", "Cooker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" and other works have not been collected, which can be regarded as minor accidents, but they are not enough to spark discussion.
So, what is worth discussing? Or in other words, who is worth discussing? It’s not Meryl, who won the seventeenth Golden Globe nomination, or the Gen Y actor who once again occupied the line of sight, but three gentlemen—George Clooney, Ryan Gosling, and Renly Hall !
