"The rise of Generation Y actors", this is the biggest feeling people have about the Golden Globe Award nomination list. Among the twenty nominations in the protagonist department, young actors have joined forces to occupy ten nomination seats, which is half of the country in the true sense; even The supporting roles are no exception. Among the ten nominations, Andrew Garfield of "The Social Network" and Mila-kunis of "Black Swan" also stand out.
In other words, in the actor department, a total of twelve actors from Generation Y received nominations, which was unique in previous years, and truly presented a prosperous era of renewal!
In this nomination list, the most eye-catching is not Natalie, who is the most promising to win the first golden statuette of "Generation Y", but two rookie actors in their early twenties, Jennifer Lawrence and Renly- Hall.
For Hollywood, who loves the new and hates the old, they always open their arms with enthusiasm and welcome the arrival of talents. Almost every year, countless talented new stars can be seen emerging, but even so, two outstanding talents in their early twenties have appeared in a row. Actors, this is still rare.
Jennifer showed a compelling performance in "Winter's Bone". The delicate yet heavy performance made everyone's eyes shine. The calm and hotness that did not match her age won a lot of praise, almost It's easy to get all the way to the end of the year awards season.
This is a typical Hollywood dream for a small-cost independent work without the support of a strong distribution company, witnessing the glory and happiness of overnight fame.
If it is said that Jennifer's birth is an inevitable law of Hollywood, then the strong rise of Renly seems incredible.
It is always easier for new actresses to get ahead in Hollywood. Under the control of male supremacy, Hollywood is always looking forward to the emergence of more new faces. Up to now, the frequency of replacement of vase actresses is still high. Under the control of the idea of "materialization", the beautiful young faces can always easily get the opportunity to become a beautiful scenery in the movie.
The same is true at the performance level. At the same level of performance, it is always easier for actresses to win nominations and even awards, while male actors are much more difficult. Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio in "Titanic", Reese-Witherspoon and Joaquin-Phoenix in "Walking With the Song" Phoenix), Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling of "Blue Valentine", and so on.
Above the Oscars, the Best Supporting Actor department is known as a nursing home. Old actors who have been rolling for many years, diligent and conscientious are always more likely to win awards, because the academy judges believe that young people still have a lot of time. , slowly polishing; while the best supporting actress department is considered to be the cradle of new stars, young, energetic and youthful newcomers will be more likely to receive awards, because the academy judges hope to see more young people emerge and maintain a sense of freshness.
Of course, this all comes at a price.
The golden age of actresses is usually before the age of 35. In 2015, Hollywood actresses jointly appealed to the MDB, and their real ages were published on the website. The producers are often more willing to use young actors. After the age of 35 It is even more difficult for the actors of 2020 to find work, so they asked IMDB to cancel the disclosure of their age.
The golden age of male actors is generally after the age of thirty-five. Most of them can only play the role of some idol vases when they are young, or they are fully polished in the supporting roles, waiting for their own opportunities. In the long history of the Oscars, there is only one Best Actor winner under the age of 30, Adrien-Brody of "The Pianist" - when he won the award Twenty-nine years and three hundred and forty-three days.
It was against this backdrop that Renly appeared.
On the 20th of last month, Renly just celebrated his 21st birthday and reached the legal drinking age in the United States, which for Hollywood is actually no different from a high school student, except for "Back to the Future" ", "High School Musical", "American Pie" and other teen films, almost no film project will determine the male protagonist at this age.
Because such young people have just left adolescence, their acting skills are not solid enough, their roles are not rich enough, and their performance types are not diverse enough, and they are in an awkward position.
More importantly, art creation in this age group is very difficult. Children have a family crisis and a childhood perspective, high school students and college students have growing pains and social fears, and middle-aged people have a middle-class mid-life crisis. … But the young people who have just left the university are just adapting to the confusion of the society, and it is difficult to dig out more content in the artistic creation.
Devour Novel Network
Not only that, the main consumer group of the film market is not at this stage, which means that even if a film of this age group is produced, the audience is too narrow and it will be difficult to achieve good results in the end. This also makes the various production companies are not interested.
Therefore, in Hollywood, actors between the ages of 20 and 25 have the most uncomfortable positions. Many actors either gritted their teeth and made it through, and when they were twenty-six, things were much better, or they were drowned in countless fresh faces and gradually disappeared from the public eye.
Zac Efron (Za) is the most typical representative. At the age of seventeen, he became famous for his "High School Musical". After the trilogy was filmed, he was just nineteen years old, and then he fell into a four-year period. During the struggling period, on the one hand, he couldn't go back to play the role of a high school student. On the other hand, the older roles were not competitive. Even in the filming of a chick love movie, he couldn't compete with those main actors in their thirties.
This situation continued until he was twenty-five years old before it got better, but after that, his actor path gradually changed to a comedian who sells/sells/flesh/body, and his development path became narrower and narrower, and he gradually became a genre Movie. Like Vin Diesel or Adam-Sandler.
So did Renly audition for "War in the Pacific." Eugene Sledge was a nineteen-year-old, but Steven Spielberg would have preferred twenty-six-year-old Joseph Mazzello. Willing to choose twenty-year-old Renly. If it wasn't for the unexpected encounter that night that changed Steven's mind, the situation would be very different now.
Now, Renly broke the shackles of age and wrote a miracle.
First won the Emmy trophy, and then gave a stunning performance in "Buried Alive", occupied an unshakable position in the awards season, and won his first Golden Globe nomination in one go! And a second Golden Globe nomination!
In addition to the nomination for Best Actor in a Drama Series, "War in the Pacific" has once again earned Renly a nomination in the competition for Best Actor in a Miniseries/TV Movie!
Like Johnny Depp, he has received two nominations as an actor, and he is proud of the list of nominations.
Just when everyone thought that "War in the Pacific" was already the pinnacle for new actors, Renly handed over the work "Buried Alive", came to Toronto with an incredible attitude, and launched a fairy tale journey of rising from the bottom. As the male lead, Renly's young and immature shoulders show a rare atmosphere and composure.
For a young man who has just turned twenty-one years old, it is no exaggeration to use any fancy words to describe it. Hollywood has not seen such a wonderful young man for several years. The young actor who has received so much admiration is undoubtedly Heath Ledger.
But even Heath, he only ushered in "Brokeback Mountain" after he was twenty-five years old, and now, Renly is four years younger than Heath!
So, when the nominees for the Golden Globes came out, the whole of Hollywood fell into a frenzy of praise, celebrating that the golden age of Generation Y actors had officially arrived, and that the renewal of actors had surfaced. Celebrating another breakthrough in the process of the film industry, celebrating the outstanding performance of the new generation of actors, and celebrating that they have witnessed the rise of a generation of geniuses!
The Hollywood Reporter, as a leader in the industry, produced a special issue of "The Rise of Generation Y".
Among them, No. 1 is undoubtedly Natalie Portman, who is well-deserved by the magazine as the most promising actress of future superstars; and No. 2, beyond everyone's expectations, " The Hollywood Reporter ditched James Franco, who has been strong this year, and Ryan Gosling, who has been a hit for the past four years, for Renly Hall.
"Brilliant, determined, powerful, and graceful, Renly evokes memories of the superstars of the golden age."
In a short comment, we can clearly feel the respect of Renly by The Hollywood Reporter. The recognition of this authoritative magazine in the industry can be regarded as the greatest affirmation of the work "Buried Alive".
But the "Hollywood Reporter" is not alone, and the praise from other media is endless. There are countless flowers and applause around Renly, and people are discussing, at this year's Oscars, who will receive the nominations. ? Can Renly rise to the next level and write miracles
Ryan earned his first Oscar nomination for "Half Nelson" four years ago, when he was only twenty-six years old; now, Jesse, James and Renly all have hope of breaking out For his first Oscar nomination, the fierce competition of the new generation is extremely cruel, but it makes people excited.
Especially the duel between "127 Hours" and "Buried Alive", as well as the head-to-head fight between James and Renly, gradually surfaced as the awards season progressed. , and the other is an absolute dark horse that does not show the mountains but the water, and the victory or defeat between the two is becoming more and more heated.
It is generally believed that there can only be one survivor of these two works at the Oscars, but who it is, the awards season has just begun, and it is not known who will die.
"Half of the Golden Globe Awards, the era of Generation Y is coming!"
