Movie Master

There are a total of 10 nominated works for the Best Picture in the Drama category and the Best Picture in the Musical Comedy category, but only the directors of three works have been nominated for the Best Director nominations. This... Are those best films not worthy of their titles? Or are those directors really not strong enough?

Clint's reputation in the industry is unquestionable, and he is definitely an outstanding director. However, "Flags of Our Fathers" and "Letters from Iwo Jima" both lost the best drama category, but won two seats for best director , This... Is it because the overall strength of the two works is insufficient? Or was Clint's directing reputation so strong that the Golden Globes had to give him a nomination?

It's a contradiction, and the Golden Globes set themselves a conundrum that not only discredited the other seven nominees for best picture, but also made Clint unhappy - there were only five nominees for best director. Seats, the Golden Globes gave Clint two seats in one go, but he was unwilling to give him a best picture position. Who has achieved this and who has been belittled?

Leaving Clint aside for the time being, the other three directors are undoubtedly high-profile. After Alessandro won the best director in Cannes, he was once again recognized in North America. This Mexican director has finally entered the mainstream attention of Hollywood; , but no one can predict how high his end point can reach this time; Lance once again entered the ultimate battle for the best director. When will I be able to win the award?

Every year, the audience pays attention to the battle for the best actor and best actress, but every year the industry pays attention to the fierce competition for the best director.

This year is expected to continue this form. Lance, who has dedicated excellent works for four consecutive years, will compete with two film masters, Clint and Martin. Whether Dro can disrupt the situation will be a big suspense. The fierce competition for the best director is definitely a close-to-hand fight with white knives and red knives; the same is true for the contest between actor and actress.

Since the Golden Globe Awards is divided into two parts: drama and musical comedy, there will be four actors and queens, which greatly weakens the intensity, but this year's melee situation adds more uncertainty , what's more, the overall strength of many works is mediocre, but they have shown excellent competitiveness in individual aspects, which should not be underestimated.

In the battle for the best actor in a drama series, Forest Whitaker from "The Last Dictatorship" and Peter O'Toole from "The Last Lover" were shortlisted without any suspense. They are also the strongest contenders for this year's best actor ; Leonardo DiCaprio relied on "Blood Diamond" and "The Departed" to occupy two seats. Although he must face the impact of the vote-sharing crisis, it is undeniable that the excellent performance of the two works His performance will become his biggest bargaining chip for winning this year; the last seat will be won by Will Smith with "When Happiness Knocks on the Door". Paul was once again shortlisted for Best Actor. This fresh prince who has won the love of all Americans at the box office is only short of an acting award. Will he become Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt? important suspense.

On the whole, this is the competition between the Mesozoic and the Old Generation, and there are many things to watch.

The Best Actress in a Drama Series is completely different. Helen Mirren of "The Queen" can be said to be the best, not only for nominations, but also for the award-winning lineup; however, "Scandal Chronicle" Judi Dench is definitely a mountain in the show business circle. After being nominated successfully, she is always popular; in comparison, the "returning" Penelope Cruz was shortlisted for the acting competition for the first time in her acting career , the sexy/sensual vase shows a counterattack posture, "as a mother" Kate Winslet is already nominated for the fifth Golden Globe Award for acting, whether this year will be her moment of breaking out of the cocoon and turning into a butterfly, it will be Important point.

Nominated for the last seat of the top five, "Fury Road"'s Charlize Theron was shortlisted, breaking a glass, but considering that Johnny Depp once again won the musical comedy with "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" Nomination for Best Actor in a Leading Role seems less shocking. In fact, although "Fury Road" is a commercial film, Charlize's delicate emotions and explosive power in it are absolutely not inferior. To the strength of "Fury Road" this year.

The Best Actor in a Musical Comedy category is full of unfamiliar faces. Johnny Depp in "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is obviously the most popular, but the problem is that his performance this year is almost the same as the previous year. Win with the same character twice? "Pirates of the Caribbean" is not "The Godfather".

In addition, Sacha-Baron-Cohen of "Borat", Aaron-Eckhart of "Thank You for Smoking", Aaron-Eckhart of "Boots" Chiwetel-Ejiofor and Will Ferrell of "Paper Survival" occupy the remaining four seats.

The so-called "unfamiliar faces" does not mean that these actors are unfamiliar, on the contrary, these actors are the top actors in Hollywood, but that of these works, only "Borat" is worth mentioning, and the other three works It's all confusing, and one-third of the award season has passed and I haven't heard of it.

Although there are always some completely unfamiliar faces in the musical comedy department every year, it is the first time that such a large area of ​​confusion like this year has been encountered.

The same goes for the Best Actress in a Musical Comedy category, with Beyoncé for "Dreamgirls," Renee Zellweger for "Ms. Potter," and Annette Bening for "Closing the Wall." They are all familiar, but the popularity rate of the works seems a bit shabby; fortunately, Meryl Streep of "The Devil Wears Prada" and Toni-Colette of "Little Miss Sunshine" (Toni-Clooette) ) also successfully won the nomination, which can save this boring nomination list.

In comparison, the supporting roles department managed to avoid an embarrassing situation because there were only five nominated seats.

Brad Pitt for "Babel," Jack Nicholson and Mark Wahlberg for "The Departed," and Michael Fassbender for "Fury Road." Eddie Murphy of "Dreamgirls" won the last place.

Emily-Blunt of "The Devil Wears Prada," Cate Blanchett of "Scandal Chronicle," Adriana-Barraza of "Babel" and Rinko Kikuchi was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, while Dreamgirls' Jennifer Hudson was the final nominee.

Aside from the inexplicable rise of "Dreamgirls," the supporting cast is by far the most reasonable roster yet.

As for the screenwriting department, after the Golden Globes merged original scripts and adapted scripts, the competition is the most intense every year, and this year is no exception. , "Scandal Chronicle" successfully harvested nominations.

The biggest surprise was not the failure of "Fury Road" - "Titanic" and "Lord of the Rings 3" had almost no chances in the script department, but the tragic neglect of "Little Miss Sunshine", and " Letters from Iwo Jima" and "Flags of Our Fathers" have fallen, making it even more difficult to understand the composition of the Golden Globe nomination list.

It's a mess.

Looking at the entire list of nominations, it seems that the nominations for the Golden Globe Awards are completely confused. The two works "Babel" and "The Departed Walker" successfully stood out, leading the way with seven nominations and six nominations respectively. Among them, the three core departments of best drama, best director and best screenwriter were all shortlisted. The overall lineup remains ahead, but it does not seem to be the strongest competitor in each project:

Commercial films look at the face of "Fury Road", independent works look at the face of "Little Miss Sunshine", and art works look at the face of "The Queen". The two works are obviously the works that have won the most nominations, but neither of them is the favorite for each project. Such a situation is really embarrassing.

What's more, "Dreamgirls" rose strongly with five nominations, overtaking "Fury Road", "Little Miss Sunshine" and "The Queen" in one fell swoop, becoming the biggest winner of the Golden Globe nomination stage, At the same time, it is also a strong leader in the musical comedy department. Whether it is "Little Miss Sunshine", "The Devil Wears Prada", or "Borat", they all fall behind, and even compete with "Babel" in the supporting role department. , "The Departed Walker" formed a head-on confrontation, such a momentum is not enough to describe it even as a "dark horse". Considering that all audiences have not seen this work, people do not know how to respond.

Browsing through the list of nominations, in addition to chaos or chaos, the sense of chaos is everywhere. I found the leader of the first group, but I didn’t see any signs of the winners, and I couldn’t even show up. To make a conclusion, this is really dumbfounding.

But what is certain is that the Golden Globes once again disappointed Chaos Films—more precisely, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association gave Chaos Films corresponding recognition, but once again ignored the existence of Lance.

"Queen" received four nominations for Best Drama, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Screenplay, which is really impressive; "Fury Road" was shortlisted for Best Drama, The competition for Best Actress in a Drama Series, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor in the four departments, the overall momentum cannot be compared with last year's "Fruit Candy", especially the nominations for the two acting awards are more like consolation awards olive branch.

So, does this mean that Lance will miss the Ballon d'Or once again? Lance's feud with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association still doesn't seem to be in sight of reconciliation. Does that... mean Fury Road's Oscar prospects are clouded as well?
