As the biggest time bomb in this year's awards season, the strength of Hard Fruit Candy is eye-catching, but considering various off-site factors, especially that Chaos Pictures has almost given up on the school's public relations management of this work. It also makes the prospects of Hard Candy awards season unpredictable. However, objectively speaking, the strongest competitiveness of Fruit Candy is concentrated in the three departments of Best Director, Best Supporting Actor and Best Original Screenplay.

As a director, Lance has proven himself, but Hard Candy once again let people see Lance's control and excavation of the lens language, from lighting to composition to positioning, the seemingly fancy lens hides But it is Lance's ambition and reflection as an artist, which is amazing. Compared with Murder with a Borrowed Knife, Hard Candy is a step closer to the use of space, especially the position conversion and space compression between characters, pushing the atmosphere of horror, suspense, and fear to the extreme. It also digs out the profound connotation of the work, with a profound aftertaste. People have witnessed the growth of Lance in a series of works from City of God to Borrowing a Knife to Hard Candy, and there are endless voices of admiration.

A week before the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, the Directors Guild of America announced this year's nomination list, and Lance once again ranked among them with Fruit Candy, which also achieved his feat of winning the favor of the Directors Guild of America for three consecutive years , it can also be seen from this side that Lance's director talent has been highly praised.

As a screenwriter, Lance is known as the most successful writer and director after Billy Wilder. Billy, who was born as a screenwriter, has won twelve Oscar screenwriting nominations and eight Oscar director nominations in the history of Oscars. Among his works list, Some Like It Hot, Double Indemnity, Sunset Boulevard, Peach/color/apartment and other masterpieces are all written and directed by him. He can be described as a generation of talent. Later, Woody Allen, who also studied as a writer and director, is unique in screenwriting and director. slightly inferior. Now Lance is being compared to Billy.

Not only because City of God and Murder with Borrowing Knife have won Lance nominations for screenwriter and director for two consecutive years, but also because Hard Candy shows impressive black wisdom and social reflection in a narrow space. Profound, Lance once again showed people the mixed relationship between law and morality, justice and crime with a unique perspective, and his line skills are indeed commendable.

Not surprisingly, the Screenwriters Guild of America gave Hard Candy a place in the list of nominees for the best original screenplay.

Most importantly, as an actor, Lance shocked the world for the second time after Borrowing a Knife. When Rolling Stone magazine commented on Hard Candy Rylance's performance, he said, Street Lowe's outstanding performance is a kind of acting miracle. He not only knows how Jeff should walk, talk, listen, and even how he should breathe. Strelow has given Jeff soul, and authenticity. Restrained yet explosive Acting seems to have become Lance's trademark, and the changes revealed in the eyes complete the character shaping quietly, making the whole story come alive.

It's hard to imagine that this is only Lance's second acting work. After the Borrowing Knife shocked countless people last year, people seem to have prepared themselves for the surprise, but now people realize that they are still too naive. The performance in Hard Candy is enough to go down in history. In particular, the expressive power of the eleven-minute long shot completely ignited a heated discussion on the Internet. Almost every man felt the same way and was overwhelmed. While fearful, he couldn't help but wonder-whether the real castration is like this, so that the Internet The experimental video about castration on the Internet became the champion of the search rankings, which is really dumbfounding.

Objectively speaking, compared with the director and screenwriter, the core factor of Hard Candy that really makes people's soul tremble is Lance's performance. The clamor for Lance's Best Supporting Actor win seems unstoppable.

As for the Best Actress in a Drama Series on the Golden Globe nomination list, Ellen Page won the nomination at the young age of 18. Nomination is a victory, and running with her is doomed; there are accidents among accidents, For the best film score award, in front of John-Williams (John-Williams), the soundtrack master who has been nominated for 40 Oscars, Fruit Candy has no competition.

So, missing out on Best Director and losing to Lee/Ann is understandable, and it was predicted before the awards ceremony that Fruit Candy is the most likely The winners should be Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor. After all, with six nominations, there's no way the Hollywood Foreign Press Association will let Hard Candy go away empty-handed, but there's still a balance to be considered, and it's clear that writing and supporting actor are the sweet spots.

However, the Golden Globes once again made a shocking choice. The best screenwriting department favored Brokeback Mountain, and abnormally focused all the focus on this work, achieving Brokeback Mountain This year's award season has achieved great momentum, showing a completely different and strong posture from the past; the Best Supporting Actor category was awarded to... George Clooney of Syriana!

There was an uproar.

Unexpected, but reasonable. With the advancement of the awards season, Syriana gradually rose to the top under the push of Warner Bros., and won the Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Editing, Best Original Screenplay and other departments with Fruit Candy A head-to-head confrontation was launched, and George, the best supporting actor, undoubtedly attracted much attention.

Because George, who has just experienced the baptism of plagiarism, did not choose to hide from the public eye, but stood up bravely and frankly. While admitting his mistakes, he showed enough sincerity and low profile, and frequently launched public relations actions, which really won a lot. What's more, George has always been famous for his high-quality image. Apart from his tough stance against China's anti-China, Tibet/independence, he is usually a handsome and elegant gentleman, which has become the dream of countless women. Lover, now George's calm attitude has also made people gradually accept the statement that the so-called plagiarism accident is indeed just an assistant's mistake.

Later, gossip magazines broke the news that George gained 30 pounds for the filming of Syriana, and was unkempt and tortured during filming. He suffered a lot and even locked himself in a small dark room all day and all night Li, just trying to figure out the role, so that the body was thin, but in order to maintain the weight of the character, he forced himself to eat a lot, which eventually led to stomach problems. However, George never said anything about it to anyone, let alone complained, showing the professionalism of an actor.

Gradually, the voice of Syriana competing for the best supporting actor for George began to rise slowly. From the neglect of the major award ceremonies in the early stage, to occupying a place in the nomination list of the Screen Actors Guild of America, George's winning momentum is rapidly rising , and even faintly became one of the popular candidates.

Among the nominations for the Golden Globe Awards, Syriana only received one nomination for Best Supporting Actor, which is very low-key. However, when the award was announced, it soared into the sky and turned this nomination into an award forcefully, allowing George to truly stand on the podium. This is also the first time George has officially appeared in public after plagiarism. The humble and low-key, submissive and polite demeanor successfully awakened people's previous impression of him.

I have to say that this move by Warner Bros. is brilliant.

On the surface, Lance avoided Africa and created a situation of moral kidnapping, forcing the academy judges to pay attention to the work Hard Candy. The six nominations for the Golden Globes are ironclad evidence; but at the same time, Lance's absence also created a huge gap, ceding the most important part of the academy's public relations during the awards season to competitors. Naturally, Warner Bros. He would easily let go of this opportunity and concentrate all his firepower on the screenwriter and supporting actor department of Syriana. In just three months, he successfully turned George into a salted fish.

As for The Squid and the Whale, that's even more meat on the chopping block. In the musical comedy category, all three nominations were lost to the same competitor -- Walk with the Song, the film produced by Twentieth Century Fox. The released work has become another phenomenal work in this year's awards season and has been highly praised. But in fact, the overall quality of the work can only be the same as last year's King of Soul Singer, or even slightly inferior, but the current atmosphere has pushed Walking with Songs to the height of Chicago. It's just 20th Century Fox's publicist who is planning behind it, that would be too naive.

Here is the Golden Globe Awards. The musical comedy department is a unique department of the Golden Globe Awards. Although Warner Bros. also has Charlie and the Chocolate Factory competing for this department, the lack of overall quality has tied the hands of Warner Brothers. Therefore, instead of allowing the strong rise of The Squid and the Whale, they might as well be behind the scenes to make 20th Century Fox-Walk with the Song is the biggest hit in the musical comedy department. In this way, they can not only sell 20th Century Fox Fox is a favor, and he can also suppress Chaos Films by the way, killing two birds with one stone easily, why not do it?

So such a situation came into being, the Golden Globe Awards came to an end, and Chaos Films, which had received nine nominations, was completely annihilated. Lance continued his record of no gains in the Golden Globe Awards. The awards season's Xuan Miao has achieved its goal of resurgence, and now it seems to have become the strongest contender in the Best Supporting Actor category.

In one month, in just one month, Warner Bros. has reversed its pros and cons, and its strong public relations capabilities have almost suppressed Chaos Films with no room to breathe. After this battle, Chaos Pictures really realized the intricacies of Hollywood. As college public relations recruits, they did not have the advantages of City of God in foreign language films, and did not have the advantages of Tom Cruise's connections and qualifications. It is difficult to achieve miracles.

This growth education is painful and cruel. What's more frightening is that the Golden Globe Award is only a midterm exam, and the Oscar is the ultimate test. If the current situation continues, even if Chaos Pictures will not be smashed to pieces It is bound to hurt muscles and bones.

Growth education is not over yet.
