Michael Roselle is definitely the most astonished of all people. He originally thought that he still had countless opportunities to convince Hugo. After all, there is still some time before the Golden Globe awards ceremony, but now he discovered that "river" That night was his only chance--and he didn't seize it.

Although Michael has been working hard to make up for the situation and tried to convince Hugo to attend this year’s Golden Globe Awards through Rick and Joseph, he still failed. After a round of Tai Chi, Hugo was determined to be absent from this awards ceremony. .

When the "New York Post" broke the news that "Hugo Lancaster was absent from the Golden Globes for the fifth consecutive year", everyone was full of noise, although their focus was "Hugo despise the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Refusal to attend the Golden Globes" was meant to satirize Hugo's big game, but people's attention did not develop as Colin Mailer expected.

This is the fifth consecutive year that Hugo has been absent from the Golden Globe Awards. People have long been accustomed to such results. They would never think that Hugo is playing a big game. On the contrary, many people think that since Hugo is absent. , Then it must show that the Golden Globe itself is problematic, and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association may be tricky!

This idea is like a wild grassland blown by the spring breeze, spreading across the United States in an unstoppable manner.

Before, there was a big riot in the acting department of the 53rd Golden Globe, and then there was a dumbfounding list of nominees for the 54th Golden Globe...In fact, this is not the first time that the Golden Globe has faced such a situation. In recent years, the signs of the Golden Globes sensationalism have become more and more obvious, and the accompanying controversy has naturally increased. This time, it has once again triggered countless discussions. Let the Golden Globes stand on the cusp of unprecedented storms.

This made Michael completely messy. Not only did the media public relations almost fail to keep up in time, even the live broadcast of the awards ceremony was almost ignored-the red carpet arrangement continued to be problematic, and the order of the awards guests was also problematic, even There were problems with the performance stage that night, and a series of problems made the parties feel overwhelmed, and Michael couldn't take care of himself. There is no time to help in depth.

Many protests broke out within the Hollywood Foreign Press Association-if the award ceremony cannot be held smoothly, it will definitely be a disaster. Not only will it harm their direct interests, but it will also harm their long-term interests in the future. This allows Michael to be said to be suffering from internal and external troubles, and in dire straits.

In the midst of this crazy controversy, many insiders speculated whether this year's awards ceremony would be cancelled, and the 55th Golden Globe Awards made its grand debut amidst chaos. The curtain was still kicked off at the Hollywood Hilton Hotel in accordance with the usual practice of previous years. At the last moment, further tragedy was avoided.

As everyone expected, Hugo did not appear at the awards ceremony that night. Leonardo did appear on the red carpet with his mother and grandmother, successfully filling the void of Hugo's absence.

It is particularly worth mentioning that Tom Cruise was also absent from the awards ceremony, which made the Golden Globes bleak. Currently, only Brad Pitt appeared as the award-giving guest in Hollywood's top-notch Iron Triangle, but in the absence of sufficient works, only the screams of girls are left around Brad. The momentum was completely suppressed by Leonardo. This became the hottest topic on the red carpet of the awards ceremony that night.

But all the topics, in the final analysis, still have to return to the award itself, especially in the controversy whirlpool. The list of awards for the Golden Globes is even more eye-catching. It is conceivable that if this year’s list of winners is controversial again, perhaps the position of Chairman Michael will be unstable in less than two years. The turbulent Hollywood Foreign Correspondents Association will inevitably weaken its influence again. The cards will be reshuffled again, and the next development direction of the Golden Globes will really fall into the unknown.

But for the Hollywood Foreign Correspondents Association—or, to be more precise, for Michael. In the chaos, the only good news is that this year’s awards are not a problem. After years of struggle and entanglement. The excellence of "Titanic" and "L.A. Confidential" became their best choices, which gave Michael valuable breathing time.

These two works are undoubtedly the most successful works in 1997 in terms of box office performance and influence of works, including the affirmation of film critics, artistic value, etc., and they are also the works with the most enthusiastic response-even more commendable. Yes, these two works were also the champions and runners-up at the 1997 year-end box office: when the Golden Globes were held, "L.A. Confidential" was still the year-end champion, and "Titanic" had successfully entered the top five ranks.

Previous awards ceremonies have proved this point. Although the concept of "awarding season" still has not appeared at this time, the uncrowned kings who have never been reconciled to loneliness have gradually begun to link the various award ceremonies. Look at the Golden Globes, Before the arrival of the Oscars, which work has won more professional recognition, the vague concept of awards season has gradually formed.

Prior to the arrival of the Golden Globes, the major award ceremonies made their debut at the King of Insects.

The five major unions, led by the American Producers Association Award, the American Screenwriters Guild Award, the Screen Actors Guild Award, the American Directors Guild Award, and the American Editors Guild Award, have become the best spokespersons for practitioners in the industry; the National Critics Association Award, the United States Large media organizations headed by the National Film Critics Association Award and the North American Radio Film Critics Association Award also have a certain right to speak, representing the film critics of major TV stations and radio stations; the New York Film Critics Association Award and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award are the regions headed The Film Critics Association became the last piece of the puzzle, and they represented regional professional opinions.

This also makes the prototype of the entire awards season appear in major media for the first time. Although no one has done summary statistics, the award results of these authoritative awards ceremonies have become an important reference.

"Titanic" and "L.A. Confidential" are the two works with the most mentioned names at previous awards ceremonies this year. If you add in the praise of "Perfectly Perfect", this will probably be the "Awarding Season" this year. The overall structure of the three works has almost won more than 70% of the awards, and the strong momentum is close to the 1994 Troika-"Forrest Gump", "Pulp Fiction", "Shawshank's Redemption" , Even strictly speaking, the influence is even stronger: because the three works of "Titanic", "L.A. Confidential", and "Perfect Perfection" all exceed US$100 million, the audience's attention has risen to unprecedented heights.

Therefore, for Michael, the list of winners is instead his magic weapon to turn the tide of the battle. It has won him valuable adjustment opportunities. Choosing "Titanic" and "L.A. Confidential" is a decision that will never go wrong. . The list of winners of the 55th Golden Globe Awards also proves this point.

"Titanic" in the two most fiercely competitive drama awards, best film, best director, both defeated the most powerful contender "L.A. Confidential", and won two trophies, which is also OK Seeing Michael's unwavering choice: The Golden Globes will follow the era of blockbuster films, stand on the same tank as commercial films, and rise strongly.

After missing "Independence Day" last year, this year's Golden Globe Awards did not miss the "Titanic", so the Hollywood Foreign Press Association gave up the "L.A. Confidential" that reproduced the glorious retro drama film, and chose to bring it with visual special effects. A "Titanic" of the grand love of the century.

In addition to the best film in the drama category and the best director, "Titanic" also won two trophies for best original song and best film score, eight nominations and four trophies. The results were outstanding, but other failed Among the four main awards, three of the "Titanic" lost to the most powerful competitor "L.A. Confidential", which also made the list of winners more and more interesting.

"L.A. Confidential" won three heavyweight trophies for the best actor, best supporting actress and best supporting actor in the drama category, although it has not been able to shake James in the two departments of the best film and best director in the drama category. -Cameron’s position, but "L.A. Confidential", a work that has received numerous praises before, has won the corresponding recognition.

It is worth mentioning that, relying on the excellent performance of "L.A. Confidential", Hugo won the best actor in the drama category for the first time at the Golden Globe Awards. This is undoubtedly a moment that countless people will remember-because this is the past few years. One of the biggest controversies in time ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ As the best actor of the baby boom generation, Hugo has achieved countless honors, but the Golden Globes have not given him the corresponding recognition, a piece of music. The award for best actor in a comedy has become the biggest irony. However, all this was finally over on this night.

In this duel, Hugo defeated Matt Damon of "Mind Catcher", Daniel Day Lewis of "In the Name of Love", and Leonardo Decca of "Titanic" Prio and Peter Fonda (da) of "The Beekeeper (ulee's. won this award. It can be said that they stand out. In addition to Daniel's ability to create some suspense for Hugo, Hugo is The performance in "L.A. Confidential" has an absolute advantage, and this award deserves its name.

Because Hugo was absent from the award ceremony that night, director James-l-Brooks took the place of Hugo to accept the award. James satisfactorily replaced Hugo and thanked the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and expressed his admiration for Hugo’s dedicated work. Although there were no surprises, at least it gave the Golden Globes a face.

Among the three trophies won by "L.A. Confidential", the other two are supporting role awards, but there is no best screenwriter award, and "Titanic" failed to win the award, so the final winner Who is the work? Is this a coincidence, or is it deliberate? (To be continued)
