1029 Giants Clash

Compared with the leisure and leisure in Malibu, the turmoil of Beverly Hills has not dissipated, and the laughter and laughter among the drinks linger in the warm air for a long time. The Hilton Hotel is obviously familiar with this, and the Golden Globes are dazzling. Not yet completely calmed down, the hustle and bustle of the nomination luncheon once again brought the focus of attention.

As a preview of the Oscars every year, neither the reporters nor the nominees are willing to miss the nomination luncheon. This is the only social occasion where public canvassing is allowed before the awards ceremony officially begins.

Sid Gannis felt a little dizzy. After staying in the warm environment for a long time, his ears were inevitably swollen. When he came outside, the cold air immediately filled his lungs, and his whole body felt I felt much better. Ever since he took over as the chairman of the academy, one difficult thing has happened one after another. Unexpectedly, this position will become a hot potato one day, which makes people restless. Last year's chaos has not completely calmed down, and this year it is actually...

"I thought you had already left." A voice came from behind, interrupting Sid's thoughts, and when he looked up, Sid saw the iconic black beard, like a typical Mexican in the comics, but A little less colorful straw hat. This is the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Yog Camara (-camara).

Sid showed a decent smile, and nodded politely, "Today's lunch is so lively, it's always hard to part with, isn't it?"

"That's true. The last time I saw such a grand occasion, it should be...94 years?" Yog stopped beside Sid, looked at the swimming pool in front of him, and then the whole Los Angeles scenery spread out in front of him, "I didn't expect all four directors to be here. This is really rare."

In the 1980s, there were four directors in Hollywood, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola, and Martin Scorsese. The influence of these four directors radiated to the entire United States. All aspects of the film industry, and even cultural aspects have an indelible contribution. However, after entering the 21st century, although Steven and Martin are still active on the front line, both George and Francis have moved behind the scenes. identity.

Today, the gathering of these four directors has indeed aroused widespread repercussions.

In addition to their four directors, several top names in the industry over the past two decades also attended, Harrison Ford, Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt, Arnold Schwarzenegger Greg, Will Smith, Johnny Depp... These names can be said to have ruled the American film market from the second half of the 1980s to the present. One can imagine how lively the nomination luncheon was today.

From another point of view, this year's awards season has produced such a huge response, which is also something no one expected.

"My lungs can't bear too much. I've secretly smoked two cigarettes today. I don't want to be tortured by nagging when I go back, and at the same time endure physical pain." Sid rejected the cigarettes offered by Yog , and said with a smile, "Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's luck. But no matter what, the most important thing is that we enjoy the party to the fullest, isn't it?" Yog couldn't help but smile.

Yog smiled and nodded, "It seems that our reasons for not wanting to leave are the same."

There are many reasons for today's star-studded constellation, at least on the surface, and each has its own reasons. Francis is to support her daughter. Sofia Coppola's second work "Peerless Queen" was also released in 2006. Although this work suffered bad reviews, it was still shortlisted for the best costume design competition; Steven and George decided to restart the "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4" series, and Harrison decided to play the leading role. The first cooperation with Clint; Arnold, who has just been re-elected as the governor, is to gain the support of Hollywood and promote several related bills... But the real purpose is that only they know. A nomination luncheon is enough Footage lasted over four hours, so much could happen.

"2006 is really a wonderful year." Yog said seemingly casually, smoking a cigarette, "Who would have thought that Lance could create such a beast?"

After the Golden Globes ended, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association was criticized, and their doubts reached a whole new level. In fact, many professional journalists and senior film critics disdain this organization for many reasons, one of which is that the identities of the members of the association are full of doubts. In name, this is an association composed of foreign media reporters stationed in Hollywood, but in fact, all members of the association are not professional journalists, they are just freelance writers who occasionally write articles. broker. This also means that their authority, professionalism and focus have been questioned a lot.

Of course, no one can deny that the entertainment and publicity effects of the Golden Globe Awards are irreplaceable. Every year, the Golden Globe Awards, as an important turning point in the academy's public relations, even surpassed the directionality of the "Oscar weathervane" and became a key node in the awards season. What's more, just like the People's Choice Awards, the Oscars and Emmys are already authoritative enough. The audience doesn't need the Golden Globes to continue to maintain their authority, just enjoy the star party to their heart's content.

However, the "star party" of the Golden Globes now has a serious test: Lancelot Strelow.

The biggest question facing Yog now is whether they should continue to be tough, or should they choose to compromise. For the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, interests are paramount and entertainment is to the death. If the academy's attitude towards Lance is positive, they don't mind bowing their heads to show weakness; on the contrary, if the academy's attitude is always tough, then they are very Willing to show his persistence again.

Sid was able to become the chairman of the academy. He was naturally a smart person. He really understood Yog's situation very well, but he pretended not to understand at all, "Indeed, who would have thought of it? He can always bring surprises, It's overwhelming."

Sidna and Si Ni could not hear any tendency, but Yog would not give up easily, "Yeah, I was still discussing with George Lucas just now, I don't know what surprise Lance will bring next time "Yog didn't light the cigarette, but just put it in his mouth, "You said, is it possible that a work like 'The Incredible Hulk' is good enough to win an Oscar nomination?"

Sid paused subconsciously for a moment.

A comic book adaptation is on the list of best picture Oscar nominees? Not to mention five years ago, even now, it sounds like a fairy tale, and it can even be said to be an impact on the worldview of the old academics of the academy—comics are still an unpopular vulgar culture in their minds. It cannot be regarded as a kind of literature.

However, after thinking about it, Sid found that he had no way to refute it, as if no one could have predicted that the quality of "Fury Road" would be so good, and who could be sure that "Invincible Hulk" could not achieve such a level? What about height? After all, "Sin City" has already amazed everyone once.

Although it is said that the Golden Globes cannot be compared with the Oscars at all, it is undeniable that the Oscars are now facing a turning point, whether they are more innovative or more conservative. Not only the Oscars, but also the entire American society. The Democratic Party and the Republican Party have always sought consensus between "breakthrough and conservative", "radical and balanced". This is a distinctive mark of the times, and Oscar is no exception.

To be sure, there is neither a right choice nor a wrong choice, because no matter which side is chosen, it will inevitably lead to condemnation of the other side's point of view. Oscar voting is like an election. The leadership team headed by Sid can only guide public opinion, but it cannot make decisions on behalf of the academy judges. The judges still have to follow the slogans and connotations of the candidates, and then make decisions Judge your own choice.

Sid, like Yog, is facing a fork in the road of choice, how should he treat Lance, or more precisely, how should he treat the cultural metaphors and eras hidden behind such works as "Fury Road" and "Brokeback Mountain" feature. In the long river of history, what kind of decision should they make.

For Sid, fortunately, he is not the one who makes the decision, and he only has one vote; but unfortunately, this is also the case, he has no right to make decisions, and can only guide public opinion within his ability .

"Ha~www.novelbuddy.com~The film industry is always developing so fast, I feel that I can't keep up." Sid's pause was only fleeting, and then he returned to normal, smiling Said, "Who knows what will happen in the future? But, I can be sure that the original intention of the Oscars has never changed, to select the best, most outstanding, and most classic works, and to give those artists the best awards. "

There is still no obvious tendency towards official polite words, but the information revealed in the details is enough for Yog. He has no way of knowing where the Oscar awards will eventually go, and Sid doesn't know either; but he can know through Sid what the attitude of the high-level academy is, and how their attitude affects the judges.

The momentary pause and the flatness of the words were enough for Yog to make a judgment: Regardless of whether "Fury Road" won an Oscar or not, the old scholars of the academy have finally realized that the times have turned upside down. Whether these old pedants accepted or refused, obeyed or refused, is another story.
