Superstar - Chapter 2170
The 1999 awards season was in chaos. Due to the lack of outstanding and outstanding front runners, there were a large number of works with average overall strength, and the emergence of any work seemed to be a predictable result. This is also commonly known as an award-giving year.
The “beautiful mind”, which has a strong reputation and influence in the early stage, although limited by the subject matter, the overall structure is still a little smaller and does not reach the epic height of “Forrest Gump”, but it still won a lot of praise from people. , Ranked as the No. 1 seed player in the awards season.
But with the advancing of time, the title of “Hollywood Tumor” spread like wildfire, which seriously affected the prospect of winning the “Beautiful Mind”.
As the most influential actor in the United States, Hugo is also the only “top superstar” recognized by the entire industry. This name is not a ridicule by the media, but is truly recognized by professionals in the industry. The superstars in the golden age of film history truly showed the so-called top superstar style.
But it is precisely because of Hugo’s strong influence that the entire market has almost become Hugo’s back garden. From the box office to the full-scale dominance of awards, other people have fewer and fewer opportunities. The box office is beyond the control of the industry, and it comes from the recognition of the audience; but the awards are acceptable. Professionals have all said that the monopoly is definitely not conducive to the sustainable development of the film industry, and the major award ceremonies need more Much vitality.
Hugo has won four statuettes in the past six years, including two movie kings. This has really caused a huge controversy, especially considering that Hugo is not yet 33 years old this year. Unbelievable-of course, this is not without precedent. Judy Foster won two queen statuettes before the age of thirty, but after that, it became very difficult for Judy to be nominated. Even for actors like Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep who have won nominations like cutting melons and vegetables, the proportion of their awards is very small-Jack has only three acting trophies so far, while May Lil has two seats.
Therefore, the action of “Boycott Hollywood Cancer” made the situation of the awards season take a turn for the worse.
The shortcomings of the “beautiful mind” are infinitely magnified-this work only limits the perspective to John Nash’s schizophrenia. Even if it is mixed with the background of the Soviet Union and the United States, the structure is still too small, especially Hugo. For the large-scale adaptation of John’s biography, many people in the industry criticized it.
Under such circumstances, the advantages of the “beautiful mind” have been wiped out. In comparison, the two works of “Genius Ripley” and “Shocking Inside Story” can stand out, especially “Genius Preley” “After losing the advantage of the Golden Globes, the Weinstein brothers began to work hard, making the voice of this work begin to rise.
Coupled with works such as “The Law of Cider House”, “The Sixth Sense of Supernatural”, “Green Miracle”, “Hurricane”, “Magnolia”, “Puppet Life” and other works that have always maintained a stable voice, this is the whole award season so far. The overall pattern.
However, for the audience, they don’t care about Hollywood cancer, they don’t think about the development of the industry, they just know that in the work “Beautiful Mind” Hugo has indeed dedicated the best performance of his career. , That wonderful performance is definitely worthy of commendation. What’s more, in 1999, Hugo also had a “Sixth Sense of Supernatural”, and his performance in it was absolutely not inferior, which became another reason why Hugo deserves to be commended.
At the Golden Globe Awards not long ago, the “Beautiful Mind” particle did not attract strong condemnation. If it weren’t for the subsequent American Screen Actors Guild Awards, the Best Actor Award was awarded to Hugo, I am afraid the Golden Globe Award. Will also be under greater pressure. But the selection of the Screen Actors Guild Award is also intriguing.
As the most concentrated place for American actors, the Screen Actors Guild Award represents the value orientation of the actors. The four award winners in the acting department they support are bound to have the overall momentum. Ignoring the Golden Globes and the “Hollywood Cancer” title is becoming more and more rampant. The American Screen Actors Guild’s vote turned out that Hugo won the title of actor with his “beautiful mind”, which really exceeded everyone’s expectations.
It can be seen that the Hollywood industry’s rejection of Hugo does not seem to be as exaggerated as the legend.
The four choices for the Screen Actors Guild Awards are Hugo for “Beautiful Mind” and Hilary Swank for “Don’t Cry Boy” won the actor and actress, Angelina Jolie of “Soul Girl” and Angelina Jolie. Leonardo DiCaprio of “Beautiful Mind” won two supporting role awards.
This result is half-and-half fit with the Golden Globe Awards, which is really intriguing.
In fact, at the major awards ceremonies before the Oscar nominations were announced, the Chicago Film Critics Association, Houston Film Critics Association, San Francisco Film Critics Association, Boston Film Critics Association and other important towns ignored Hugo’s “Beautiful Mind” and ” The excellent performance in the two works of “Spiritual Sixth Sense”, and the North American Broadcasting Film Critics Association Award and the National Film Critics Association Award have also made unanimous choices. From this point, we can see that the influence of Hollywood cancer is indeed Very far-reaching, at least in the eyes of most film critics, the current situation must be improved.
However, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, the New York Film Critics Association, and the National Critics Association Awards, the three important towns, once again voted for Hugo, commending Hugo’s outstanding performance in the “beautiful mind”-apparently the “supernatural first” “Six senses” also add a lot. Surprisingly, the American Independent Spirit Award also awarded the best actor to the “beautiful soul” Hugo.
It can be felt that people have given corresponding recognition to Hugo’s performance. Especially in the case of a small award season-Hugo’s other competitors are really lackluster, even if you want to launch a competitor to fight against Hugo, this is not an easy task.
In countless controversies and discussions, the Oscar nomination list is on the stage!
In the most competitive Best Picture Award, “Beautiful Mind”, “Spiritual Sixth Sense”, “Breaking Inside Story”, “Green Mile”, and “The Law of Cider House” were shortlisted for the final five seats. The competition for the annual final award, in an instant, caused a cry of exclamation from the critics.
After the “Genius Ripley”‘s voice picked up in January, it was still due to word-of-mouth constraints and was finally left behind and failed to be selected for the final competition. The Weinstein brothers kicked on the iron plate during the second awards season, and even Even the nomination was not obtained, which is really disappointing.
In addition to “Beautiful Mind” and “Shocking Inside Story”, which continued their strong performance throughout the awards season-the former won victories in the Directors Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild of America, and the latter was the final winner of the American Association of Producers. The other three seats can be regarded as surprise faces.
“The Law of Cider House” and “The Miracle of Green Mile” were both praised during the award season, but ignored by the Golden Globes. Now the Oscars rectify the names of the two works, especially the former, which is almost important in the Oscars. All of the awards have a place.
It is worth mentioning that Charlize played the roles of “Beautiful Mind” and “The Law of Cider House” respectively, which continued the momentum of her strong rise in the last three years.
Of course, the biggest highlight in the best picture nomination list is the “Spiritual Sixth Sense”, which astounded the entire list as the fourth film history nominated for an Oscar. When this work was released in the summer file, it won everyone’s applause. Whether it was the rendering of the atmosphere or the sculpting of emotions, including the appalling ending, it laid the foundation for its creation of historical records.
Sure enough, the ignorance of the Golden Globes did not affect its prospects for the awards season. Oscars still gave the corresponding affirmation and commended the breakthrough of this horror movie.
The four seats in the best director’s department are all familiar faces: Ron Howard of “Beautiful Mind”, Michael Mann of “Insider Insider”, Lesse Holstrom of “The Law of Cider House”, “The Sixth Sense of Supernatural” m-Night-Samalan, their works are also shortlisted for the best film competition, the only exception is the “Puppet Life” Spike-Jones (.) broke through the siege and replaced ” Frank De Labont of “The Green Mile” entered the final battle.
Of course, it is worth mentioning that “Genius Ripley” once again missed the competition in this department. It can be seen that the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is really not too cold about this work. The Weinstein brothers, who have run into a wall for the second year in a row, should have noticed the sniping from DreamWorks-“The Law of Cider House” and “Beautiful Mind” are both works from DreamWorks~www.mtlnovel.com~ the most highly anticipated There is not much suspense in the leading actor department-in fact, the biggest suspense is whether Hugo can be shortlisted for the third year in a row, and whether the Hollywood cancer can continue his power of the title. The answer is yes.
Russell Crowe from “The Inside Story”, Richard Farnsworth from “Mr. Sturt’s Story”, Denzel Washington from “Hurricane”, Sean Penn from “Sweet and Humble” , These four actors will join the competition, face-to-face confrontation with the “beautiful soul” Hugo, and fight fiercely for this year’s actor Xiao Jinren.
In fact, the overall competitiveness of this year’s filming department is indeed weak. Even Denzel, who defeated Hugo at the Golden Globes, “Hurricane” cannot be regarded as his best work. The overall quality of the film cannot be compared with other works. The works are comparable; Russell, who relies on the strong performance of his own works, will become Hugo’s biggest competitor, and perhaps Sean, who has been in Europe for the past three years, can be added.
However, in terms of strength purely, Hugo is definitely one of the best in this year’s competitive lineup. What’s more, there is the “sixth sense of the supernatural” behind Hugo’s huge support. Therefore, the direction of Oscar has become strange and unpredictable once again, and the demeanor of Hollywood cancer makes everyone look at him.
