[US Entertainment] Kise's Hollywood Diary

Before Vincent and Leonardo had chosen a vacation location, the official Golden Globe Awards announced that the American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards Ceremony would not be held.

Not holding an awards ceremony does not mean that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has no way to select this year's awards. The lack of an awards ceremony will still hold a press conference to announce the list of winners.

If this is the case, the scene will inevitably look a little too shabby.The good red carpet appearance is gone, the good applause and screams are gone, the congratulations that overturned the roof are gone, the touching acceptance speech is gone, and there is only a bare Golden Globe trophy that is delivered home by the staff of the organizing association ...

The end-of-year event affected by the screenwriters' strike movement is far from being as simple as the Golden Globes being unable to go on.

As the income of screenwriters is required to be forced to increase, when the cost level of film and television production remains unchanged, the income of some actors has to be reduced.As a result, the remuneration of actors below the front line began to face drastic cuts.

How far can it be reduced?Assuming that a movie originally paid $200 million according to the actor's status, his salary will shrink by at least 30% under the influence of the screenwriter's strike.Not to mention TV actors, TV dramas can no longer be filmed, and the number of episodes will be reduced or even cut in half at any time. Who will pay you?

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, first-line actors to super-first-line actors, no one will discuss with them: Boss, shouldn’t you be paid a little less?

Those who should sit firmly in the top box office club are still holding a salary that is out of reach of others. It is the most embarrassing for those who can't make it. They are more or less cutting a small knife from their current salary level, otherwise those Film companies and production companies directly find actors of the same level with lower salaries.

People are realistic and know how to be flexible. If only a few people don’t come to participate in the Golden Globe Awards, then they won’t come. Not every nominee and guest invited every year will be there. There will always be some accidents and surprises. special case.However, a series of people have expressed their refusal to participate, whether it is out of support for the screenwriters' strike movement, or the silent faction that follows the trend, at least now the influence has grown and become bigger and bigger.

By mid-January, Vincent and Leonardo had been having fun for a full week in Hawaii, both to relax and to celebrate their birthdays.

It also happened to run into an old acquaintance here, Hayden Christensen, who had met during the audition for "Uncovering".This buddy is taking his girlfriend on vacation this time, and the two seem to be in love with each other. Although they are a little awkward occasionally, they are still sticky overall.

In the past few years, Vincent and Hayden have been in contact more or less. Although the two are similar in age, there is basically no competition in terms of resources, and they get along very happily.Hayden Christensen even has a cat because of Feeney. With the connection between pets, the two of them are very happy to get along with each other.

The joyful mood brought by the vacation lasted until the second wave of the screenwriters' strike movement, and Vincent and Leonardo had to start preparing for their return.Frank was busy in Los Angeles and New York, but the boss and his boyfriend went to Hawaii, which is a bit unreasonable.

Continuing with the screenwriter's strike, before the losses have expanded beyond control, the negotiation matters have finally taken shape.Seeing that things have made some progress, the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony, which has been reduced to cannon fodder in this strike movement, will never come back anyway.

In late January, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and the organizer held a press conference to announce the winners of this year:

Not surprisingly, the opening award is still the best supporting actor and actress.

Cate Blanchett won Best Supporting Actress for her role as a Bob Dylan double in "I'm Not There," while Best Supporting Actor went to long-lost nominee Heath Ledger, who He won this award for his role as a ruthless killer in "No Country for Old Men".This is the role he talked about when he met Vincent in New York last year, and he was very hesitant to take the role. Now it seems that the decision to take this movie is obviously correct.

Coincidentally, Heath Ledger also starred in "I'm Not There". There are no protagonists in this movie, but they are all protagonists. The actors all play Bob Dylan with different backgrounds and personalities. avatar.

The next awards are interesting. The best comedy actor was awarded to Johnny Depp of "Sweeney Todd", who has been nominated for the best actor for four consecutive years. The remaining four nominees are "Savage Philip Seymour Hoffman, "One Family," John Reilly, "Never Stop," Tom Hanks, "Charlie Wilson's War," Ryan Gollins, "Booty Doll Love" .Comparing the list of winners and nominations, you can find out how fierce the competition is this year.

The best actress in a comedy (musical) was awarded to Marion Cotillard, the heroine of the French film "La Vie en Rose".In addition to Amy Adams of "Enchanted" and Nikki Bronsky of "Hairspray", Helena Bonham Carter of "Sweeney Todd" and Zhu Ellen Page of Noah.

As this year's dark horse movie, "Juno" took 35 to 2 days to film and earned a global box office of more than 3000 million US dollars.In addition to the nominations for Best Actress, this year's Golden Globe Awards also have two major nominations for Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay.

The Best Actor in a Drama Series was awarded to 51-year-old Daniel Liu Lewis for his performance in "Blood Blood"; other nominees included Vincent's "Stone of My Heart" at the same time. In addition, there are George Bruni in "Michael Clayton", James McEvoy in "Atonement" and Denzel Washington in "American Gangster".This list of nominations is considered to include blacks, whites, young people, middle-aged people, old people, North American actors, and European actors. It has to make people admire the cake-sharing skills of the Golden Globe Awards.

After losing a best actor trophy, Vincent didn't seem too disappointed. He knew the list of winners of the Golden Globes the night before his return trip to Los Angeles, but after a good night's sleep, the last bit of disappointment in his heart disappeared—— When someone comforts himself with his own actions, there must be an effect.

This year's Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series was awarded to Julie Christie for "Bright and Bright".Cate Blanchett lost her third nomination for Best Actress, Keira Knightley lost her second nomination for Best Actress, Angelina Jolie lost her first nomination for Best Actress .

Except for Jodie Foster, who has won two Oscars, none of the above three nominated actresses is qualified to say that they don't care about the best actress trophy.The only fortunate thing is that there is no award ceremony this year, so everyone can't see the lost expression of "I thought it was me, but it's not me". After all, from an objective point of view, any of the above five actresses won the award None of this will come as a surprise.

Clint Eastwood won only one trophy for the remaining two awards that concern people——when the leading actor, supporting actor, supporting actress, and best picture of "The Rock in My Heart" all fell, the only one Only the best director award survived.

The best drama film was won by "Atonement", and "Sweeney Todd" won the trophy for best comedy film, plus Johnny Depp's best actor award, "Sweeney Todd" also won It counts as a big harvest.

All in all, the winners of the nominations almost shaved their heads, and those who picked up the nominations steadily won one or two awards.Although the dark horse is strong, it was exhausted before the official award results came out.

In addition to these important highlights every year, the Chinese-language film "Lust, Caution" directed by Ang Lee was shortlisted for the best foreign language film, but unfortunately lost out to the French film "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly".This movie has caused quite a stir in China, and the heroine of the movie has even been banned in the general environment.Ang Lee's defeat this time did not make people feel more relaxed about him - after all, when "Brokeback Mountain" swept the awards, at least half of the nominees present didn't know where they were doing at the time.

After Vincent returned to China, he began to prepare for the next work non-stop. Leonardo is not going to attend the Oscars this year. He will return to the crew of "Revolutionary Road" to continue finishing work, and finally stayed at home for two days After that, I packed up my things and went to the crew to report.

As Vincent's agent, Frank didn't care at all whether the screenwriter's strike would affect the next Oscar, and he didn't worry about whether the aftermath of this matter would affect his boss's salary.

In his view, people who grew up in a capitalist society are not only ambitious, but also know how to accept what they see.Now that the sweetness has been tasted, seeing that the new agreement is drafted and waiting for the official announcement to take effect, unless the academy judges collectively strike again, the Oscars will definitely be held in the Kodak Theater smoothly.

Before Valentine's Day came, the Screenwriters Guild strike finally came to an end, completely ending the 100-day strike movement.During these three months, the entertainment industry in the United States lost more than 5 million US dollars, and the loss of unlimited advertising revenue was conservatively estimated to exceed 125 billion US dollars.

The representatives of the film and television producers who were full of momentum before also had to pay the price for his arrogance and complacency. It is an act of recovering one's due rights.

The film and television producers backed down, and the screenwriters' alliance got their due rights. Seeing that the lingering heat of the matter has gradually faded.

The Oscar Golden Globe Awards Association announced that this year's event will be held on February 2, and the complete nomination list for this year will be announced in the near future-the Golden Globe Awards, which have been cannon fodder, cried even more sadly.
