When Renly missed the Ballon d'Or ceremony, it seemed to be doomed, so that when the results came out, people were no longer surprised.
The grievances between Renly and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association are bound to continue - for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, without Renly, the awards ceremony can still be carried out, but it can also use Renly's absence to reverse the focus. For Renly, without a Ballon d'Or trophy, his career has no impact at all, but he can achieve Renly's reputation as a high-level professional.
Both sides can continue to stalemate like this, the well water will not make the river water, until one day, some event may break the balance, and then someone will make a change - for example, the hacking incident that just ended.
Because it was Michael Keaton who finally beat Renly to the top, there was no attack on Keaton on social networks for the time being—
With the "Batman" image of the year, Keaton has always had a crowd; this time, relying on "Birdman" to complete the self-destruction, finally ended the long career slump and ushered in hope again. With such an inspirational story, who can put a beak Woolen cloth? Moreover, Keaton's reputation in the industry is also very good. There is no black spot. This time, he has won a lot of applause. Just like Mickey Rock in 2008, he has been ups and downs for many years, and finally with the "Wrestling King", he has won a lot of applause. Rise, sympathy, homage, admiration, expectation, and so many other mixed emotions are intertwined, and few can blame them.
As a result, more questions are still swarming towards the Golden Globes.
This is not the first time, nor will it be the last. It seems to have become a fixed routine. It can be seen from the discussion boom on social networks that everyone is used to it, and even the posts of complaining and condemning are far from breaking out. Put out enough energy, "Please change the routine of the Golden Globe Awards, okay?"
Compared to criticizing the Golden Globes, people are more concerned and more curious now:
What does ignoring the Golden Globes mean for the second phase of academy PR? What will be the consequences? Under the influence of the hacking incident, can Sony Classic complete the adjustment and start again in time? What profound impact will this have on the final competitive landscape of the Oscars? What is the final ownership of the actor Xiaojin? How do the Academy judges view the results of the Golden Globe Awards? Do you have any new ideas for the attribution of the best actor
156n.net
and so on.
Unconsciously, everyone's eyes were projected towards the second stage of the awards season.
According to the practice of previous years, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will announce the list of Oscar nominees within three to five days after the conclusion of the Golden Globe Awards ceremony. The Academy chose to announce the nominees ten days after the Golden Globes, the second Thursday.
Bustlingly, various rumors appeared on social networks, what academy was to protect Renly and left a week to eliminate the impact; what academy kept Keaton and Eddie's momentum going in order to snipe Renly; What academy is dissatisfied with the existing awards season format and holds an internal meeting; what hacking incident has been derived from the academy, and the hackers are targeting the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences this time...
Numerous outrageous and exaggerated rumors are spreading, and more and more outrageous, hacker incidents are being used again, Sony classics have been hacked out, and now they are in a bad situation where they can't argue - Harvey Wei can be faintly seen behind. Ernstein's handwriting, the second phase of the college's public relations war has already started.
But in fact, these speculations are all in vain - the Academy has set all the schedules as early as November, and this year's nominee announcement luncheon is scheduled ten days after the Golden Globes, and at that time, "The Burst Drummer" "It hasn't been shown yet, the hack hasn't happened yet, and no one has any idea how awards season will play out, let alone any changes to the original plans for the second phase of academy PR.
More importantly, the deadline for voting on the Academy's first-stage nomination list is actually before the Golden Globe Awards ceremony. In other words, the Golden Globe Awards have not yet started, all voting has been sent out, and the nomination list has entered. In the statistical stage, this is also the reason why the Golden Globe can be regarded as a "wind vane"-
Find out how the judges of the colleges voted, and whether the popular works distinguish the first group and the second group? From the perspective of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, make a summary forecast on the rumors and rumors in the industry, give a relatively clear estimate of the first stage of the academy's public relations results, and then lay the foundation for the second stage.
Harvey Weinstein changed the academy's PR strategy because he heard clues from the Golden Globe Awards, and made his own judgment based on a thread summarized by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. I already know it like the back of my hand, so I started to work on the layout of the second stage in advance.
That's what Harvey does every year.
However, for laymen, they don't know why, and they think that the Academy can "modify" the nomination list based on the list of winners of the Golden Globe Awards. For example, the judges temporarily modify their votes and then send them out quickly; With a little push, the negative rumors started to rise.
However, these rumors are harmless and have no impact on the academy. As for the impact on other people, no one can know.
Anyway, on Thursday, January 22nd, 2015, Alfonso Cuaron, JJ Abrams, Chris Pine and others attended the nomination luncheon at the Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills The list of nominations was officially announced, and you can feel it from the guest lineup. The academy also has high hopes for this year's awards ceremony, and looks forward to building on last year's foundation.
As a digression, this year the Academy chose comedian Neil Patrick Harris to host for the first time after last year's Ellen DeGeneres -
The Tony- and Emmy-winning comedian is a sing-song, witty, acclaimed comedy "How I Met Your Mother", and is like Ellen DeGeneres Closer to young people; in addition, he, like Alan, has been out/closet publicly and is married, which is undoubtedly another breakthrough for the Academy to improve its public image.
The academy looks forward to seeing Neil reinvigorating the awards ceremony.
But the selection of the host has caused some controversy, mainly because Ellen DeGeneres performed too well last year. Many people suggested that she should continue to host this year, but it did not come true.
Why Ellen refused to host again, and offered to host Chris-Rock and Julia-Louis-Dreyfus, and why were they rejected... Also, rumored Er is not the first choice of the academy, and there are still some bullshit behind the scenes, so what is the truth
These chaotic discussions have also become a topic after dinner.
Although the academy and Neil have both come forward to give official responses, including Allen, Julia and others have also given official responses to clarify the facts, but no one can know the truth behind the scenes, which also makes Neil's With more and more pressure on him; with the occurrence of the hacking incident, Neil's opening and string words are faced with a difficult problem: should they be mentioned
Originally, the pressure of hosting the Oscars was severe every year, but this year seems to be even better. Even the battle-hardened Neil can't bear it.
The topic is back on the nomination list.
In previous years, the Academy only announced the nominations for major awards such as Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress in the "Nomination Morning". The list of technical awards will be updated simultaneously on the official website, and then open. Luncheon; however, this year's nomination method has changed, with all 24 awards announced on the spot, and the academy said that the reform is out of respect for all film technicians.
On the one hand, awards ceremonies are being scaled back; on the other, nomination luncheons are being extended. The college is indeed making adjustments in all aspects to adapt to the development of the times.
Alfonso Cuaron, who won the best director last year, announced the nominations for the main awards. In the much-anticipated competition for the best picture, only eight works were successfully shortlisted and did not occupy all ten places. It was a minor accident.
"The Grand Budapest Hotel", "Birdman", "Boyhood", "Selma Parade", "The Theory of Everything", "The Popping Drummer", "American Sniper", "The Imitation Game".
The above-mentioned eight films successfully won the nominations and landed safely at the Oscars, but the ten nominations for the best picture were not filled.
Among them, the classic position of Sony is undoubtedly the most striking:
"Fox Hunter" is left behind, "Boom Drummer" is up!
After a severe hacking incident, Sony's classic awards season Academy PR pace was completely disrupted -
The "Fox Hunter", originally ranked in the first group, was unexpectedly kicked out of the best picture nomination list. This work was once considered to have the strength and ability to compete with the "imitation game", but it turned out to be before the second stage began. Falling behind has made countless people fall behind.
And the "Boom Drummer", who was not expected to compete for the best picture at first, made it to the final eight with Renly's strong strength, which made Sisyphus Pictures show its strength. Underestimate the strength of this company.
No one can be 100% sure whether this is directly related to the hacking incident; but also no one can bluntly conclude that Sony Classics is not enough to worry about in the second stage. As long as you win the nomination, you have the power to fight. What's more, "Boom Drummer" is not only capable of "one fight". Looking at the entire list of nominations, it can be seen that no one can underestimate Sony Classics. Dangerous opponent.
