The list of winners of the Golden Globe Awards, where interests come first and entertainment to the death, is a similar and familiar routine every year. The art and checks and balances of dividing the cake have been brought to the extreme in the hands of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association; but dividing the cake is far from that simple. , how to master the balance and how to emphasize the key points, this is a knowledge, even if it is the annual Golden Globe Awards, the quality of the winners list in different years is also high and low.
This year, it's clear that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has done an excellent job.
Looking at the entire list of winners, it is basically certain that "12 Years a Slave", "American Hustle" and "Gravity" have quietly seized the leading position of the first group. If nothing else, this year's Oscar's best picture And the best director will be produced from it, and the specific pattern depends on their momentum to seize nominations in various departments and the subsequent academy public relations.
In addition to the three works, there are about five to ten works that form the second group, such as "Drunken Country Ballads", such as "Wolf of Wall Street", such as "She", and then "Philomena", these The works have the probability of impacting the best film and the best director, and will also become the main force in each individual award.
Specifically subdivided into the competition for each individual award, the advantage of "American Hustle" is particularly obvious. "Dallas Buyers Club" also has strong strength in the actor department and "Blue Jasmine" in the actress department. In addition, works such as "Twelve Years a Slave", "Nebraska" and "Captain Phillips" also have the ability to be longer or shorter in each item by virtue of the influence of the works.
And of course, Renly Hall, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, Joaquin Phoenix, Judi Dench, Sandra Bullock, Meryl S. Tripp, Julia - Roberts, Michael - Fassbender, Daniel - Bruch and other actors rely on their own strength and profound background also have the possibility to stand out.
The reason why the list of winners of the 71st Golden Globe Awards was able to find an even and stable balance in the situation of dividing the cake, and then gained corresponding industry recognition, is because the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is outside the first group. Cleverly captures the intersection of checks and balances in academy PR.
Except for the best actor in the musical comedy category, which was unexpectedly won by Leonardo DiCaprio, the other five acting award seats have been subtly checked and balanced. The best plan; even Leonardo's win over the other four contenders can be seen as "American Hustle", "Nebraska", "Drunken Country Ballad" and "Her" four strong competitions After the fierce battle between them, the inevitable outcome of the "Wolf of Wall Street" is to enjoy the benefits of the fisherman.
In other words, the final list of winners of the Golden Globes also indicates to a large extent that the final list of Oscar winners this year is not just a nomination list, but a winner list.
"Entertainment Weekly"'s praise and admiration for the Golden Globes has received numerous criticisms and complaints. Many people think that they are losing their lower limits and bottom lines; but industry insiders are able to peel off the essence of on-the-spot capture, from "Entertainment Weekly" "Behind the reports, we see Warner Bros., Fox Searchlight and Sony Columbia.
They hope that the results of the Golden Globes can become the results of the Oscars, and naturally spare no effort to push in this direction.
As competitors, Focus Pictures, Weinstein Pictures and Sony Classics have different mentality and made the same choice.

Focus Pictures is responsible for the release of "Dallas Buyers Club", and this year it has locked in two awards in the actor department; Sony Classic is responsible for the distribution of "Blue Jasmine" and "Drunken Country Ballad", and this year it has also locked in four major awards in the actor department, with two awards. The company gave up best picture and best director at the same time, specializing in the acting department, and was also able to accept the results of the Golden Globe Awards. It was expected that the Oscar nomination list would develop according to the current trend, and the voices of opposition were quieted down.
And finally, Weinstein Pictures, who lost a lot this year.
Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman in Railroad, Marion Cotillard and Joaquin Phoenix in Immigrants, Idris Elba in Mandela -elba) and Naomie-Harris, Best Picture and Best Director for "Fruittville Station," Forest Whitaker and Oprah Wing for "The White House Butler" Fury, Ryan Gosling and Best Director for "Only God Forgives", Best Foreign Language Film for "The Grand Master"…
These works cover a number of academic works of different themes, different fields and styles, such as the European department, the American department, the black department, and the autobiographical department, from Sundance to the three major European film festivals in Berlin, Cannes and Venice, and then to New York. And Toronto's two major film festivals in North America, big waves and layers of screening, the Weinstein brothers selected this year's Oscar seeds.
However, as the awards season progressed slowly, these works were completely wiped out. Oprah Winfrey of "The White House Steward" was very hopeful to hit the awards in the supporting actress department. Before entering January, it was even more fierce, but then Encountered the fierce pursuit of the same type of work "Twelve Years a Slave", Lupita Nyong'o was born with her debut performance, and her attitude was even better than that of Jennifer Lawrence and Renly Hall. Even more prominently.
By the time the Golden Globe Awards ceremony was held, the Weinstein brothers had few cards left. "Philomena" and "August: Osage County" were the only remaining seeds. The former was slightly lighter. The competitiveness is slightly less; the latter is all settled on the two actresses Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts.
This also makes the Weinstein brothers a little lonely. The Oscar nominees have not yet come out, and they have already collapsed in the first stage of academy PR, even Meryl Streep and Judi Dench for best actress , Julia - Roberts' best supporting actress, they also seem a little powerless.
Next, Weinstein Pictures is bound to continue to work hard on the academy's public relations, hoping to complete the comeback in the sprint stage, and they will never surrender easily; -Weinstein will never refuse.
Because of a variety of subjective and objective reasons, "Entertainment Weekly"'s evaluation of the Golden Globe Awards has been affirmed by the mainstream in the industry.
By all accounts, things were getting worse for Renly.
Judging from the results of the Golden Globe Awards, "American Hustle" in the musical comedy department is about to compete with "Dallas Buyers Club" and "Blue Jasmine" in the drama department to determine the four major acting awards. trend; and the best picture and best director are "12 Years a Slave", "American Hustle" and "Gravity" three major battles.
In other words, there is no place for Renly.
It was before the Golden Globes; it was a little shaken on the night of the awards ceremony; it was the same after the Golden Globes. Not because Renly's works were not good enough, but precisely because Renly's performances were too good, "for the long-term future of young actors" and "for the future development of other Hollywood actors", the Academy "had to" choose to give up Renly and let Renly go. Others win more chances.
That's what's trending throughout awards season.
From "Drunken Folk Ballad" to the top of Cannes, to "Gravity" becoming famous in Venice and Toronto, and then to the "Two Best Actors" in the awards season, the momentum of the "Two Best Actors" was unparalleled; Even the nomination seat is in jeopardy, and even Warner Bros. and Sony Classics do their best to run PR, and seem to be powerless.
Who could have imagined that Renly, who just won the egot and dedicated the best year of his career, is now on the verge of being squeezed out of the Oscar nomination
Some are absurd and some are funny, some are true and some… unstoppable.
Just one week after the 71st Golden Globe Awards ceremony came to an end, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences officially announced the nominations for the 86th Academy Awards.
Compared with the fierce controversy caused by "Escape from Tehran" last year, this year's awards season films lacked the most outstanding works, but the average quality of the overall works was highly recognized, especially the four big ones. The actor department is considered to be a rare "big year", and the nomination stage has already fallen into a fierce battle, which also makes the announcement of the nomination list attract more attention.
The much-anticipated nomination department is not best picture or best director, but best actor.
Everyone is wondering, can Renly be nominated? More importantly, can Renly be nominated for the fourth year in a row
In the long history of the Oscars, only two actors have been nominated for an acting award for four consecutive years, Marlon Brando from 1951 to 1954 and Al Pacino from 1972 to 1975. feat.
The most commendable thing is that Malone won so much honor when he was twenty-seven to thirty years old, and he was the best actor all four times; and Al was so sure when he was thirty-two to thirty-five years old. , three best actor and one best supporting actor. In other words, both actors were young and famous and reached the top.
Among them, Ma Long reached the summit for the first time when he was 30 years old by virtue of "Wharf Wind and Cloud"; while Al waited until he was 53 years old before he won the actor Xiaojin Man for the first time by virtue of "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman". Winning four consecutive acting nominations all fell through. The difference in the treatment of the two talented actors can be seen. Hollywood's harshness and criticality for young actors is gradually deepening with the advancement of time.
Now, all eyes are on Renly, after the twenty-four-year-old egot, will he be able to complete the feat of four consecutive acting award nominations at the age of twenty-four
The five finalists in the competition for Best Actor are:
Matthew McConaughey of Dallas Buyers Club, Chiwetel Ejiofor of 12 Years a Slave, Christian Bale of American Hustle, Bruce Deng of Nebraska Well, and... Gravity's Renly Hall!
