When "The Wolf of Wall Street" was screened by Hollywood professionals, the academy judges complained and expressed strong dissatisfaction and protest against the work. Many industry insiders said that "this was a three-hour torture." , and even a screenwriter rushed directly in front of director Martin Scorsese after the screening, yelling, "You're a shame!"
Since the film was officially released, in just three weeks, the entire Hollywood academy judges have strongly condemned it. "The Wolf of Wall Street" almost moved forward with a lot of scolding. Works that have taken their place during awards season.
If it is necessary to analyze the attitude of the college judges towards the "Wolf of Wall Street", it is undoubtedly a very complicated process. The composition of the college judges is the most important factor, such as serious aging, predominantly white, male predominance, etc. The dilemma of a single perspective and a single point of view cannot be ignored.
Just like "Brokeback Mountain" back then. It was only after many years that someone broke the news. Many judges have directly said, "I have not seen this movie, but it is absolutely impossible for me to vote for a homo/sex/love work", which also created the "later" "Crash" overturned "Brokeback Mountain" in the history of the largest unjust case.
But putting this aside for a moment, the Wolf of Wall Street and Renly are both facing the same situation, the former uncovering the filth and darkness beneath the bright surface of Wall Street, and the latter Against the corruption and oppression of Wall Street power, but Hollywood's attitude towards the two has emerged subtly divided.
the reason is simple.
"The Wolf of Wall Street" lays it all out, daring and arrogant, and still presents it with a lighthearted comedy that lifts all the figurines, despite Hollywood's support for Martin Scot The Sith behaved like this, but they held different ideas about the way of expression and communication, so they rejected it.
But in the final analysis, Hollywood still gave the "Wolf of Wall Street" corresponding recognition, and it still managed to occupy a place in the awards season.
Among the nominations for the Golden Globe Awards, "The Wolf of Wall Street" received two nominations for Best Picture in a Musical Comedy and Best Actor in a Musical Comedy.
Apart from "American Hustle" and "The Wolf of Wall Street", "She" is undoubtedly the most acclaimed petty bourgeois literary and artistic work in this year's awards season, reminiscent of "Midnight in Paris" or "Growing Up Education". However, the works with a lot of weight, especially the excellent script, have been well received by all industry insiders.
And finally, "Nebraska" and "Drunken Country Ballads."
Interestingly, these two works are the works of the main competition unit of this year's Cannes Film Festival. At that time, in Cannes, the latter won an overall victory; but back in North America, the former seized the upper hand "Nebraska" five. Nominations, became the best spoiler in the musical comedy category, and "Drunk Town Ballad" has only three nominations, consolation.
The aesthetic differences between Europe and North America also emerged again.
In addition, "Nebraska" is the work of Alexander Payne, he and David-o-Russell's "American Hustle" is bound to start a close-quarters bayonet showdown, the only two works. The difference is that "American Hustle" is an all-star cast, with two more acting nominations than "Nebraska," and that's it.
Finally, focus on each individual department.
Best Director, Steve McQueen for "12 Years a Slave," Alfonso Cuaron for "Gravity," Paul Greenglass for "Captain Phillips," "American Hustle" David-o-Russell of "Nebraska" and Alexander Payne of "Nebraska", these five directors became the final contenders.
It is generally believed in the industry that the Coen brothers' position was squeezed out by Alexander, which also means that in the next Oscar battle, Alexander has seized the opportunity, and the side has once again proved that "Drunken Country Ballad" is still not North America. The type of work that awards season likes, even if the movie box office has done wonders.
Best Actor in a Drama Series, Matthew McConaughey (Dallas Buyers Club), Renly Hall (Gravity), Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave) -ejiofor), Tom Hanks of "Captain Phillips" and Robert Redford of "It's Everything" rounded out the final five.
Among them, Chiwetel Ejiofor also won a nomination for Best Actor in a Miniseries/TV Movie this year with "Dance on the Edge" this year; Tom Hanks has been nominated since 2007 for "Charlie Wilson's War" "Since the first time in six years, he has won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor nomination.
Purely in terms of hard power, Matthew, Renly, Tom and Robert are far ahead. Only Chiwetel relies more on the overall momentum of the work to win the nomination, which also means that the competition for the best actor this year will be particularly fierce. , not to mention the final award, even the nomination stage will not allow any light-hearted confrontation.
But if the influence of the work is added, then the three actors Chiwetel, Renly and Tom will rise strongly. Unfortunately, Renly is subject to the sequelae of egot, and Tom is still subject to the routine of being ignored after he became famous when he was young. It also means that Chiwetel and Matthew will be the biggest opponents of the actor department.
Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy, Leonardo DiCaprio for "The Wolf of Wall Street," Bruce Dern for "Nebraska," Joaquin Phoenix for "Her," "Drunken Country" Renly Hall of "The Ballad" and Christian Bale of "American Hustle" formed the lineup for the best actor.
Bruce, who is 76 years old this year, is the representative of the elderly actors, Leonardo, Joaquin and Christian are the representatives of the Mesozoic actors, and Renly, as the representative of the new generation, this nomination list is obviously richer than the drama category Also more diverse and, of course, more competitive.
In terms of hard power, Bruce, Christian and Renly are the leading groups, but the backwardness of Leonardo and Joaquin is not too obvious. The five actors have their own advantages and disadvantages. Choose any one. Bits are taken for granted, especially in the musical comedy department, where the influence of the work is even more important.
But the problem is that the works of the five nominees happen to be the nominees for the five best films in the musical comedy category. ? Nomination depends on strength, and winning depends on luck.
Just above the Golden Globe Awards, ten nominations for nine actors in two departments, which shows the intensity of the competition for Oscar winner this year, and many media can't wait to shout the slogan, "The strongest lineup in the past ten years. ".
Although similar slogans seem to appear every three or five times, this year is well deserved. The whole industry can feel the excitement of the battle for the best actor in every aspect. Even if you go all out, you may not be able to win the nomination, let alone the award. Of course, no one dared to take it lightly.
This year's Academy PR for awards season has been fantastic.
It is against the background of this story that Renly won the double nomination for Best Actor. After winning the double nomination for "Crazy in Love" and "Anti-Cancer Me", Renly won the double nomination for the Golden Globe Award again, which is more and more proof. With his strong stance, the other eight competitors could not help but be overshadowed.
"Don't you really choose Renly?" This seemed to be a question in the minds of everyone in the Academy's PR process.
Next, it depends on the means of the distribution company. "Gravity" is Warner Bros. and "Drunken Country Ballad" is a Sony classic. It could further cut Renly's chances of winning the nomination, and no one can predict what will happen until the Oscar nominees are officially announced.
In addition to this, the post-film department and the supporting roles are also almost all familiar faces.
Best Actress in a Drama Series, Cate Blanchett for "Blue Jasmine", Judi Dench for "Philomena", Sandra Bullock for "The Big Dreamer", "Love Holidays" Kate Winslet in "Adele's Life" and Adele-exarchopoulos in "The Life of Adele."
Best Actress in a Comedy Musical, Amy Adams for "American Hustle", Greta Gerwig for "Francis Ha", Meryl for "August: Osage County" -Streep, Julie Dreyfus in "Before Midnight", julia-louis-dreyfus in "Needless to Say".
Compared with the male actor department, this year is a small year for actresses. Whether it is the works or the actors themselves, the overall competitiveness is far from being comparable, and even the competition in the musical comedy category is even higher than that in the comedy category. Above the ball prize is also very, very rare.
The same is true for the supporting role department. It seems that all the works this year have shown a state of full-scale outbreak of the male protagonist.
Although the Golden Globe Awards are all about entertainment, as the vane of the Oscars, they are also worthy of recognition for the wind direction of the entire Hollywood film industry.
The same is true this year.
Among the new generation, Jennifer Lawrence appeared in the awards season lineup for the second year in a row with "American Hustle", Greta Gerwig came to prominence with "Francis Ha", and the continued strong blue It can be clearly felt that Generation Y has gradually gained a firm foothold, but the group strength is still not strong enough.
Instead, Generation X has achieved a counterattack, except for Leonardo DiCaprio, Joaquin Phoenix, Christian Bale, Matthew McConaughey, Michael Fassbender, Bradley - Cooper, Amy Adams, Cate Blanchett and others, Jared Leto, Daniel Bruhl, Chiwetel Ejiofor and others The rise has also become a landscape.
"The Star Wants To Retire"
In the past two years, the whole of Hollywood has been cheering for the overall rise of Generation Y, but this year, it is obvious that the rise of Renly and Jennifer continues to rise, while the other actors are starting to slow down. On the contrary, the x era has shown a momentum of recovery, which is also an important revelation for the Hollywood industry!
