[US Entertainment] Kise's Hollywood Diary

Faced with the sudden silence, Frank clapped his hands and stood up, walking towards the kitchen and asking, "Would you like a cup of coffee too?"

Vincent responded casually, nestled on the sofa and still did not leave.

When the manager came out with a tray and put the coffee cup in front of him, Vincent stretched out a hand to take it.

"Phinny should be coming into estrus soon. After all, spring comes after winter. What about you?" Mr. Manager crossed one leg, wrapped one hand around his stomach, and held coffee in the other. Looking over with his eyes, he asked casually.

"I will take Finny for surgery as soon as possible." Vincent held the little guy tightly in his arms, and Finny raised his little head, rubbing his head up and down on his chest.

"You know that's not what I'm talking about. Has the matter between me and Philips affected your emotions?"

"not at all."

"Oh?" Frank shrugged, "Then I look at you as if you have something on your mind. If you really want to vent your emotions, my suggestion is to find a girl to have sex with, after all, you prefer to be in time carpe diem."

Vincent was angry, but it was from his own mouth after all.

"Get ready, there is still a hard battle to fight."

There is no extra time left for Vincent to "sorrow the spring and autumn". As Christmas slowly approaches, the North American Christmas file officially begins.

And "To Cover Up", which was released in the last week of November, has cut a North American box office of 11 million US dollars in three weeks.For a personal biographical film whose theme is not glorious, this is already a record that can be recorded in the history of biographical films, and the creator of the record is only a 1280-year-old youth.

"Premiere" has learned to be smart this time since "The Pentium Era" was slapped in the face last time. It praised Vincent in the new issue of the week with a box office of over [-] million:

"From "Sweet 16" to "The Age of Pentium" and now "To Cover Up", the films starring Vincent, who is only 20 years old, have accumulated a total box office of nearly 3 million US dollars so far. Even more rare What is interesting is that none of these three films is a typical commercial film. It has been two years since he was nominated for two best actor nominations for his first film appearance. We might as well look forward to whether Vincent will have a place in this year's list of best actor nominations. "

The veteran film critic Roger Ebert, who scored high marks for Vincent in "The Pentium Era" once again published a film review without stinging his own praise:

"Vincent's performance in "The Age of Pentium" is still in my mind. The young jockey who is striving for his dream seems to be still galloping forward. The big liar Stephen under the circle completely shocked me-these are not only two completely different characters, one is absolutely positive, and the other is a schemer who seems innocent, romantic, enthusiastic and kind, but is scheming and good at playing with human figures. I have to say that the personality reversal between the two is too great. If you want to successfully control it and prevent the audience from rushing to the scene, using two completely different characters in just one season has left everyone Two perfect roles for such a 20-year-old actor!"

"At first, I thought he would be immersed in the great success of "The Pentium Era" and take over some commercial films that didn't require much acting skills but could win the audience's favor, but Vincent's choice made me involuntarily cheer for him. Breathe a sigh of relief, if he did that, he would be squandering his aura and talent."

"You know, trying a role like Stephen Glass not only requires great courage, he also requires you to abandon the idol halo brought by the handsome face, and truly act like a big liar who is full of conspiracy and manipulating people's hearts. .”

"The role of Martin Scorsese may be equally important, but I am more concerned about the progress of Vincent in the two films. His style is not determined by the director, nor is it determined by the character of the script. Vincent's self-understanding , Digestive ability is the major premise of his acting style. If the judges and the press association don't care too much about the age or qualifications of the actors, I think Vincent is at least worthy of nomination for a best actor."

Roger Ebert's film reviews are also to some extent the vane of many Hollywood film review magazines. When he speaks venomously, he is not stingy with his venom and sprays it wantonly.But when he really appreciates a person's ability, he also won't save his pen and ink to praise the other person.

No actor is willing to fight against a professional, charismatic, and veteran film critic who has a seat in the Film Critics Association, because apart from the Golden Globe, the Screen Actors Guild Award, or other similar large-scale film awards with a large audience base, Hollywood still has There is an association of professional film critics that presents awards every year.

The typical representatives are the New York Film Critics Association and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. In mid-December, the annual winners of the New York Film Critics Association Awards and Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards will be announced.These two film critic awards and the Chicago Film Critics Association Award are tied for the top three film critic awards in the United States.

Among them, the New York Film Critics Association and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association have higher qualifications and have more authoritative voices.Film critics, like journalists, are objects that actors, directors, and producers cannot easily offend.

Although the weight and attention of the New York Film Critics Association Awards and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards are not as good as those of the Golden Globes and Oscars, but as an award strictly in accordance with standards, authoritative and serious, most of the invitees will go to participate Ceremony.And this year, Vincent, who received the award invitation for the first time, will also attend the two film critic awards ceremonies.

Regardless of whether it is the Los Angeles Film Critics Awards or the New York Film Critics Awards, even if the tastes of the two are slightly different, this year's big winners have unanimously won the common recognition of both.

"The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", as an epic commercial film with both box office and word-of-mouth, not only won the Best Picture Award from the New York Film Critics Awards, but Peter Jackson, an unknown New Zealand director in the industry, Relying on the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, he reached the top of the gods one step at a time, and brought his homeland, New Zealand, out of the public's sight, resulting in the development of New Zealand's tourism industry from scratch.

"The Pentium Age", which was also selected as the best film, missed the New York Film Critics Awards, but successfully won the Best Film Award at the Los Angeles Film Critics Awards.What is even more ridiculous is that Vincent was selected as the Best Actor Award at the New York Film Critics Awards for "The Pentium Era", while "To Cover Up" was selected as the Best Actor Award at the Los Angeles Film Critics Awards-although the worst The result is that both ends are empty, but I don't know whether to be happy or sad when I compete with myself.

In addition to Vincent's two high-reputation films this year, "Lost in Translation" has also become an award-winning hit. The actor Bill Murray was both selected for two Critics Awards, but the final result was that Bill Murray and Vincent "divided up" the Los Angeles Film Critics Award for Actor and the New York Film Critics Award for Actor respectively.

This is just the beginning of this year's awards season, and the Film Critics Awards only represent the evaluation and judgment of the Film Critics Association for films, actors and directors.

Two days later, the nominees for the American Film and TV Golden Globe Awards were announced, which immediately became a hot topic of discussion in newspapers, magazines, and the Internet.

The Golden Globe Awards have been controversial since its establishment. First of all, it was established for the purpose of serving the selection of TV awards and trying to include the selection of movies in order to gain the attention of both parties.As the organizer of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, their final voting results can directly determine the final status of each award.

But it is precisely because of this that the Golden Globes once fell into the non-professional doubts of the review members.From the fact that the selection criteria for selection of members does not depend on their qualifications and achievements in the journalism field, and that they only need to publish four paid articles per year to apply for membership, it is very criticizing.The unclear and opaque selection of the Golden Globe Awards has also attracted constant criticism from the outside world - ugly behaviors such as spending money to buy awards, and award judges participating in "gambling awards" are also one of the reasons why the Golden Globe Awards have lost their "credibility" time and time again. one.

Despite this, the Golden Globes are improving themselves every year, keeping up with the Academy Awards. Now the Academy Awards, known as the "Oscar Barometer", are stabilizing their ratings while using them from various angles. Various methods want to make myself more authoritative and able to occupy a higher position in the film industry.

The nomination list for this year's 61st Academy Awards includes both "expected" big winners and "unexpected" dark horses.

In addition to everyone's expected award-winning hit "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" won four nominations in one fell swoop, including two heavyweight awards for best feature film and best director.Immediately afterwards, "Lost in Translation" was not only nominated for the Best Comedy Actor and Actress Award, but the new director Sofia Coppola who directed "Lost in Translation" also won her first best director nomination.

Speaking of Sofia Coppola, I have to talk about her background. The daughter of the famous director Francis F. Coppola has already far surpassed other opponents in terms of Hollywood contacts and resources, plus the actor of "Lost in Translation" Bill Murray's calls for winning the award have been higher than the waves. This year's Golden Globe Awards, the promotion and public relations work of "Lost in Translation" is much easier.

In addition, "Mystic River" and "Cold Mountain" also have three to four heavyweight nominations in the bag.

The above are all "expected", but when it comes to "unexpected", it is too unexpected.

Hollywood Diary (52)

Whether Gary Ross and Martin Scorsese have an intersection, I am not very clear, I only know that sometimes, the two of them do have a tacit understanding.

For example, on the same day, at the same time, call to greet me.

No, to be precise, comfort me.

Because they have decided on the ending in their hearts——It's a pity that Vincent, who has so many nominations, will return empty-handed!
