[US Entertainment] Kise's Hollywood Diary

After the last two leading actor awards were awarded, the final three awards came: the two best films in the drama and comedy categories, and the best director award.

Vincent has already held two trophies. His crew of "Indomitable Action" was nominated for the best comedy film, and the crew of "Crash" next door was nominated for the best drama film. Although there is no conflict, once the Academy Awards Once the list of nominations comes out, sooner or later they will have to compete.

The award presenters have come to the stage with envelopes and trophies. With almost no suspense, the crew of "Indomitable Action" won the best comedy film. The happiest thing is James, who once choked up with excitement Know how to give your own acceptance speech.

Among the five shortlisted films, "Mrs. Henderson's Gift", "The Producer", and "The Squid and the Whale" had no fewer than three nominations tonight, but ended up empty-handed, and the adaptation of the famous book "Pride and Prejudice" The movie is menacing and ambitious, and in the end it can only end all performances tonight with four nominations.

In addition to Paul Haggis's "Crash", "The Immortal Gardener", "Match Point", "Good Night, Good Luck" and "Munich", most of the next five films nominated for Best Drama It is an Olympic film that emerged in the second half of the year.

When the award presenters announced the result of "Crash", Paul Haggis beside Vincent immediately stood up from his seat!

Third trophy for the crew of "Crash" tonight - out of three nominations in total, none of them fell through!

Best Supporting Actor, Best Screenplay, Best Drama Film.

Whether it is the number or the weight, it can be regarded as a bumper harvest!

Paul Haggis has also achieved his own legend - he has been able to use different identities for two consecutive years. The screenwriter of "Million Dollar Baby" and the screenwriter and director of "Crash" were nominated by both parties. Although he lost to "Brokeback Mountain" last year, but This year, they won all the awards in one go!

Such all-rounders are not in the minority in Hollywood, including Martin Scorsese and Clint Eastwood, and Clint Eastwood can even work as the soundtrack of a movie.Even the rising star George Clooney can take on multiple roles. Although "Good Night, Good Luck" failed to win the final award, today's three nominations are enough to watch.

Before the last best director award comes, the host must say something to ease the atmosphere of the scene. Those who are dozing off must be responsible for screaming, and those who are too nervous should be patted on the back to relax.With Vincent's two personal trophies in hand, and the fact that the table of "Indomitable Movement" he was sitting at had already confirmed a bumper harvest, everyone was able to withstand the last wave of extremely tense atmosphere and enjoy the delicious food and wine on the table together .

Director James even drank two glasses of cocktails. He sipped the wine and enjoyed it. Anyone can see that he is in a very happy mood at the moment.But he didn't get carried away with joy, and he only drank by himself. No one at this table dared to get carried away to toast everywhere. Even if he was as relaxed as Vincent, he just picked up the glass and took two sips of champagne, and then put the glass back to its original place. place.

When the name of "Crash" came out from the mouths of the award presenters, the audience stood up, and applause and cheers covered the entire award ceremony venue.

The directors of the remaining five nominated crews also smiled and applauded. Peter Jackson's "King Kong" this year did not continue the myth of the "Lord of the Rings" series. .

In addition to the previously mentioned George Clooney's "Good Night, Good Luck", which was not stable, was also nominated for best director, Fernando Merrill's "The Immortal Gardener" and Steven Spielberg's "Munich" and Woody Allen's "Match Point" can be regarded as having good running results.

There is nothing to be convinced or not, let alone the concept and connotation of the movie, the master-level director skills of "Crash", which has multiple branches in parallel and solves puzzles along with the plot while adding puzzles, can definitely stand out.

"Crash", which was released at the tail end of the summer vacation, is still stuck at the 9 million box office in North America and has not been able to get closer. With the awards of various film critics associations in the awards season, there is a slight sign of box office recovery. , if it weren't for the global box office being able to surpass the total box office score of 5000 million, the public relations work of "Crash" during the awards season would not have been so smooth.

Although the box office is not the most important part of the Olympic film, it is absolutely undeniable that the box office has a certain bonus effect-the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and Academy judges are also human after all, and they do not want their own tastes Become a "heretic" of the entire human being, and even more do not want the list of winners selected by myself to be unacceptable by the public, so as to affect the credibility and influence of the awards in the coming year.

The joy of Paul Haggis is beyond words. He did not hide his pride and gratitude at all. After reading the list of thanks for 2 minutes, the multi-tasking director restrained his smile. Pursing his lips, he mentioned some parts of the movie that he hardly ever mentioned on his own initiative.

This is an essential part of admonishing and satirical films, but how to highlight the contradictions is a problem that the screenwriter and director need to consider, and their thinking also determines what degree the actors need to hold in front of the camera Performance.Paul Haggis's thinking in this aspect can be described as profound. The first half of his speech is a stereotyped thank you list, but the second half is so profound that everyone present is immersed in his own thinking.

There were people of all skin colors, from all countries and regions, and from all walks of life with different beliefs. Although it was named the Golden Globe Awards for American Film and Television, it was a veritable international film festival—this year’s best foreign language film was awarded by Palestine’s The movie "Paradise Now" is in the bag.

And China will never miss the opportunity to compete in the Olympics every year. Although this year's film is not directed by a Chinese director, it is produced by a Chinese team.But Zhang Ziyi, as a Chinese regular at international film festivals, together with Gong Li, Michelle Yeoh and Ken Watanabe who was nominated for best supporting actor a few years ago, this "Memoirs of a Geisha" made Zhang Ziyi the first A Chinese actress nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Leading Role.

Tonight's results fall into the eyes of different people. It may be a grand event, and who can be unhappy when they take home the trophies one after another; or it may be a spectator role, watching others take away the honor they have longed for , Layer after layer of disappointment accumulated in the bottom of my heart.

Since this year's Best Supporting Actor and the two Best Actors have an overlapping quota, in the group photo interview before the Golden Globes night, the group photo of Vincent and Philipp Hoffman took up more than usual time.

To be honest, Vincent's mood is a bit complicated - after all, if there is no accident, he and this senior who has much more experience and experience than himself will stand on the Oscar stage and compete for the only actor trophy .

Although Philip Hoffman, who was born in a major, has a wealth of acting experience, he has acting experience in movies and comedies, and he has also tried one by one, supporting actors, and leading actors.In terms of acting experience, he is no less than any actor of Hoffman's age.

He is not yet 40 years old this year, which is also the "important" period for most Hollywood actors.When some male actors reach the age of 40, they already have awards or are planning to switch to behind-the-scenes routes while being actors.Others are just getting started - Philipp Hoffman, for example, although he's slowly starting to work in writing, directing and filmmaking as well.

To be honest, when he saw Vincent walking towards him with two trophies, he felt more admiration than jealousy.Some people need to spend perhaps more than four years of college time to receive systematic and professional learning, and some people are obviously more talented in another field, but they can still easily use their ability to improve with each other .

But now he can't move that thought anymore, after all, he is not a young man anymore.

Philipp Hoffman put his hands on the shoulders of the young man who deliberately bent down a little. The two held three trophies in their hands, and faced the flashing lights under the steps, combining the young and handsome man with the mature and steady The two extremes of men are more prominent.

"Any ideas?" Schulte turned sideways to look at Leonardo holding the computer, and glanced at the page he was browsing, "'The first golden ball actor born in the [-]s', wow ~ sounds like it's actually very good."

"Hey, you have to know that those post-[-]s movie star candidates are still waiting indefinitely!" Schulte sighed, "No one born in the [-]s has broken through the barriers built by the post-[-]s. Then it took off first.”

As soon as the words fell, Schulte was hit in the face by the pillow thrown by Leonardo, "I said, who did you learn this problem from? Isn't it too gentle? You must know that you used to be direct Kick me with your feet!"

Leonardo's complexion changed, and he gradually calmed down, "Need I remind you, Mr. Manager, the Golden Globe trophy of "The Aviator" hasn't oxidized in the air yet?"

The manager shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Now that Vincent has won the best actor title, who still remembers your lousy trophy. Let me put it even worse. Although it is true that you two are together now, but outsiders see Come on, you are the rivals of the king who does not see the king, the mortal enemies, and the rivalry between you and me!"

"Even though the two of you have been trying to explain to everyone that your relationship is really good, but when you really say it, few people will take it seriously. If Vincent is really crowned best actor at this year's Oscars, I think you have to hold on The position under the buttocks."

Leonardo looked surprised: "You mean, Vincent may want to break up? Didn't you say that the Oscar curse is passed on to women and not to men?"

Schulte slobbered at the boss with hatred: "What a breakup! Can you be a little bit enterprising! People who are ten years younger than you are latecomers, can you be a little bit self-motivated!"
