Hollywood Road - Chapter 689

“Technology awards are discussed with Twentieth Century Fox.”

These types of awards are not very important, and Murphy himself will not spend too much thought on them. “The best film and the best director are a must!”

Bill Rossis nodded, “Where is the performance award?”

“I have talked to Maggie and James.” Murphy’s words surprised Bill Rossis. “Declare them for the best actress and best actor separately!”

“Best actress and best actor?” Bill Rossis was taken aback.

“Yes, it is the best actress and best actor.” Murphy said with certainty. “James’s role is the protagonist of the film. There is no problem in applying for the best actor; Maggie’s role is also the only one in the film. A heavyweight female character, and she performed very well.”

Bill Rossis thought for a while and asked, “Where is Twentieth Century Fox?”

Murphy replied, “This is the result of my discussions with Carla Faith.”

The two have reached a consensus on this aspect a long time ago. From the appearance of the movie “Dark City”, Chris Dan is the only protagonist, and everyone else is his supporting role, but he has watched it. Everyone in the film knows that James Franco’s magician shines and completely dominates the plot of the film. Henry Cavill, let alone compare with James Franco, was even obviously beaten by Margot Rowe. The ratio was overwhelmed.

This also led to a somewhat unbalanced role in the film. Fortunately, the plot of the film concealed Henry Cavill’s not outstanding performance, and no one paid too much attention to him.

As for the two common sense supporting roles, it is no problem at all to declare the best actor and best actress. There have been many times in the history of Oscars. The most representative is undoubtedly Professor Hannibal, Anthony- With a purely supporting role and a short ten minutes of the scene, Hopkins grabbed the Oscar’s best actor statuette.

The strategy to hit the Oscars is not static, but flexible. For example, when Catherine Zeta Jones hit the Oscars with “Chicago”, she found that the best female protagonists were gathered, she had no advantage at all, and she won the Golden Globes. After losing to the top, I quickly changed the award I declared from Best Actress to Best Supporting Actress on the eve of the Oscar voting. As a result, he was nominated for Best Actress and starred in “Chicago”, another leading actor Renee Qi Wei Grid returned empty-handed at the awards ceremony, but Catherine Zeta Jones managed to win back the figurehead of the best supporting actress.

Operated by CAA and Twentieth Century Fox, together with the outstanding performances of Margot Robbie and James Franco in the film, Murphy thinks it is very possible that they will be nominated for best actor and actress.

Can you win a prize in the end? No one can guarantee this. After all, Oscar’s choices are often too susceptible to outside influences.

For example, the last Oscars ceremony that Murphy saw, because no black people won important nominations such as best actor and actress and best director in the previous session, and they stood up to boycott the Oscars. By this time, Not only did the black man win massive nominations and successfully won the best supporting actor and actress, a purely black film also won the best film The Golden Man…

Anyone with a clear head can see clearly that the best film of this film has little to do with the quality of the film.

Black people, homosexuality, and a series of sensitive topics, coupled with the protests of the black people in the previous session, no one can see that this film was shot and produced for the appetite of the Oscar judges, and it was simply for the Olympics.

Think about it, Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese have too obvious intentions to attack the Olympics. How many years did the Oscars suppress them?

I can only say that people who can cry have food to eat!

In fact, the problems of certain groups are also accustomed to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences itself. After this year’s Oscar nomination list, blacks have won many heavyweight nominations. This strange group is still dissatisfied!

Some black actors complained: How come Hollywood movies are all white now, and blacks are not given the chance to win awards, right? Now, why are so many black people in the Oscar nominations, discriminating against us, we can only rely on crowds to win awards, right?

In the so-called Hollywood-style politically correct environment, black people have long become a special group, and it is not too much to say that they are a group of black masters.

Also at this Oscars ceremony, although this black film won the best picture, when the two white old actors announced the award, it was another white song and dance film that was the leading one.

Afterwards, PricewaterhouseCoopers as the counting party admitted that they took the wrong envelope and handed the envelope of the best actress to the award-presenting guests by mistake. However, Murphy once maliciously guessed that this might be a premeditated attempt. action.

The two award-presenting guests deliberately took the wrong envelope and deliberately mispronounced the name of the best film. They used this way to declare their dissatisfaction with the so-called Hollywood political correctness and to protest against the black people!

Even many Hollywood insiders have to admit that in some cases, white people have become a disadvantaged group in Hollywood…

Uncle Hei used a special way to show his victory at the Oscars, but with the development of time, when people look back at the history of Oscars, certain films will inevitably become a laughing stock like “Shakespeare in Love”.

With the development of Hollywood up to now, even Murphy has to admit that many external factors can not only affect the results of the Oscar awards, but can even influence the final ownership of the Oscar statuette.

If you want to hit the Oscars and make a difference during the awards season, it depends not only on yourself, but also on your competitors.

“A lot of films targeting the award season have already appeared at the Cannes Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival.” Bill Rossis knew Murphy’s plan and started paying attention to potential competitors a long time ago. “Since it has come out. Judging from the media and professional reputation, this year may be an Oscar year.”

Murphy nodded slightly.

Bill Rossis continued, “”Dallas Buyers Club” directed by Jean-Marc Varley, starring Matthew McConaughey, “Blue Jasmine” directed by Woody Allen, Leonardo- “The Great Gatsby” by DiCaprio, “Captain Philip” by Tom Hanks, “American Hoax” by David O-Russell, “The Great Gatsby” by Steve McQueen Twelve years as a slave.”

“I heard…” Murphy reminded, “Alfonso Cuarón’s “Gravity” is also intended for the awards season.”

“Yeah.” Bill Rossis nodded, “I will let people follow their movements.”

Murphy stood up and sighed softly, “We have many competitors, and they are very strong.”

“Gravity”, “Dallas Buyers Club”, “American Hoax” and “Twelve Years as a Slave” should not be underestimated, especially “Gravity” and “The Twelve Slaves” Years, Alfonso Cuarón and Steve McQueen are both powerful candidates for the best director.

Needless to say, the former is a Latino director who was once crowned the best director at this Oscar; the latter is a typical black film, simply the best representative of Hollywood-style political correctness, in the case of black people yelling. , Will burst out with a strong ability to redeem prizes.

On the surface, Murphy seems to be more likely to win awards than the two in terms of ethnicity, but in today’s Hollywood environment, Latino and black films will become an advantage.

This year’s Oscar is significantly more competitive than the one in which he won.

Not to mention the best director and the best film, the best actor and best actress of James Franco and Margot Robbie do not have an advantage at all.

There was a time when the death of Heath Ledger was the biggest factor in winning the prize. The power of death was extremely shocking. No one would care about and compete with the deceased. Moreover, it was only the most nicknamed Respect for the Old and Love the Young. The best supporting actor, awarded to the dead Heath Ledger, is precisely in line with the spirit of this award.

Although James Franco does not have such special advantages, the declared award has become the best actor, but it is not without the chance of being nominated. After all, the film is no longer a comic adaptation film that is highly discriminated by the academics. It has become a black crime realistic film that has been well received by the media and experts.

These all helped James Franco get the nomination, but if you want to win, facing Matthew McConaughey and Leonardo DiCaprio, there is no advantage at all.

The situation of Margot Robbie is similar to that of James Franco. The difference before and after the role is especially the peculiar psychological change. According to many professional evaluations, it is the superb interpretation of her performance. Perhaps it is not difficult to get the nomination. In the case of the award, Cate Blanchett, Sandra Bullock and Amy Adams, all have a greater advantage than her.

Fortunately, the situation is not good for “Dark City”. Murphy had planned to wait until the awards season was about to continue to provoke the tough Archbishop Marquez Costello. Unexpectedly, the change was much faster than planned. The Chinese Theater in Hollywood The shooting incident caused the archbishop’s ambition to wrinkle, making the Catholic Church intend to seek Hollywood…

Standing on the cusp of madness, he and “Dark City” have passively become representatives of Hollywood attacked by Catholicism.

From the perspective of public opinion, this is not a good thing, but from the inside of Hollywood, it is definitely not a bad thing.

No one can guarantee the awards of James Franco and Margot Robbie. The first thing that CAA and Twentieth Century Fox must guarantee is the best director and best film.

With the Hollywood media frantically hyping the Catholic scandal, Murphy is ready to add fire to it.
