The major union awards have always been a force that cannot be ignored during the awards season. Different from well-known awards such as local film critics associations, union awards are more targeted and professional. In addition, the judges of the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the Oscar jury have a very high overlap, so this award is recognized as a must-see indicator before the Oscars are announced.

Even the Critics' Choice Awards, which have the highest hit rate among the Film Critics Association, inevitably pale in comparison to the winning rate of the Screen Actors Guild Awards (also known as SAG).

Looking at the acting awards over the past 10 years, whether it is the Best Actor or Best Actress Award, the Screen Actors Guild’s nomination rate is 100%, especially the Best Actor Award - the winning rate is also as high as 100%!

The winning rate of the Best Actress Award is 70%. Although it is not as good as the winning rate of the Best Actor, it is much higher than other leading awards. It is second only to the Golden Globe Award among the four major indicators.

So far, no actor has ever held a SAG trophy but been denied an Oscar nomination.

This is why Tracy is particularly interested in this award.

In her opinion, although this year is a small year for the Oscars and the competition for male and female actors in each category is not fierce, the trendiness of "Freedom Road" and Nicole's Asian identity will undoubtedly become disadvantages for their public relations for the Oscars.

Even for the Golden Globe Awards, which will be held next week, she really can't predict the results with an optimistic attitude.

"Don't look so sad, okay? At least the situation is still good at this stage. We have already won the Best Actress award in Washington. I think most mainstream filmmakers in North America still like Charlotte very much." Su Lingxi clinked glasses with her with a smile, then raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

Tracy put down her glass and suddenly realized that she had almost forgotten about it.

The Washington Film Critics Association announced the list of winners in early December, and Nicole's name was on the list.

Although this is a film and television award that was only established in 2002 and does not have a long history or deep qualifications, in recent years, Washington's nominations have a high degree of overlap with the final Oscar nomination list and are closer to mainstream tastes, making it a noteworthy stop.

Tracy thought about it and glanced at the award schedule on her phone. "You have a point. Washington's winning rate in the past two years is indeed strong."

"But you were only nominated for the European Film Awards, which may mean it will be difficult for us to get more European votes at this Oscars."

There are more than 5000 European film judges, and the films that win the most awards each year basically determine the direction of the European Oscar votes, and there will be no more fluctuations.

Before this, Tracy considered the European market to be their advantage, but she did not expect such a result.

"This is normal. All the contenders for the Best Actress award at the European Film Festival this year are excellent." Su Lingxi spread her hands and said calmly, "Besides, that's Sophia Ward. I am convinced that I lost to her."

Sophia Ward, a famous European art film queen, has won the Cannes Best Actress Award three times. She is hailed as a legend in the French film industry and a treasure in the hearts of the European people.

Oscar judges have preferences, and so do European judges.

Su Lingxi was not so narcissistic as to think that her acting skills were good enough to surpass Sophia Ward, so from the beginning she was prepared to just be shortlisted.

Instead, Tracy glared at her with great disappointment.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, she didn't like to hear her clients say "I'm convinced".

Daniel often showed his gentle and gentlemanly side in public, but Tracy knew that he was also arrogant in private when he was young, but he became much more stable as he grew older.

Although Nicole is so young, her mentality is not as aggressive as her appearance. This kind of personality is rare in Hollywood.

Su Lingxi was not annoyed by the glare from his agent. He smiled and changed the subject. "Of course, we can't give up the PR for the Golden Ball no matter what. TSG is also very clear about my needs, so poor Mr. LeBron will probably have to feel the fatigue of doing more work for the competent."

She spoke in a high-sounding manner, but there was no sympathy in her tone. Instead, it was a bit mocking - if you take money, you have to do the job. This is a truth that will not change in any country.

Now the results of the Outpost are clear at a glance. Although Su Lingxi has not yet obtained the original voting data from TSG, the possibility of her being nominated for an Oscar is very high. On the contrary, the final winner of the Golden Globe Award is still a bit of a mystery.

The next night, the entrance of the Dolby Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard was star-studded. A series of stars including Nicole Sue, Olivia Bell, Sigourney Garner, Jacqueline Pate and her boyfriend Anthony McQuarrie arrived at the theater on time. Except for a few main creative staff, most of the others were relatives and friends of the three leading actors who came to cheer for the premiere of "Angelica".

Compared to the guest lineup of "The Road to Freedom" when it was first screened on a small scale, "Angel Wild Flower" is clearly a step up - this is of course closely related to Su Lingxi's unstoppable popularity in recent months.

Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for such a commercial film that seems mediocre at first glance to invite so many well-known film critics in the industry.

The reason they were willing to accept the invitation was, on the one hand, they were curious about Su Lingxi's performance in her first American commercial film, and on the other hand, they wanted to give her face.

The most ridiculous thing is that before the three leading actresses even started to show any signs of improvement, director Joseph McNeill was so excited about the co-starring of Pauline Kael and Sigourney Garner that his eyes almost turned red.

Even Olivia Bell, who usually remained silent, was speechless and twitched her lips fiercely in a place that the camera couldn't capture.

After seeing this scene, most of the invited film critics had only one thought in their minds: the entire movie might be completely ruined by this unknown second-rate director.

As for Nicole Sue and Jacqueline Patel, it all depends on how much the two of them can save the situation with their acting skills and the charm of their characters.

After all, the soul of a movie lies in the director. If there is a problem with the director's overall coordination, the picture composition is inappropriate, and the story rhythm is chaotic, then no matter how good the actors' acting skills are, it can't save it much.

Some have even begun to worry that Nicole's reputation will plummet because of this movie - foreign actors who want to make a name for themselves in Hollywood will always be treated more harshly.

For them, if they want to achieve success, they need to work thousands of times harder than American actors.
