[US Entertainment] Actor

Audiences who don’t come to the scene in person can’t feel the grandeur of this year’s Golden Globe Awards. Although the United States is in a rare financial crisis, the Hollywood Reporters Association has always insisted on making the Golden Globe Awards a gathering place for filmmakers. A great event to enjoy movies together.

In fact, for the actors, it doesn't matter whether the ceremony scene is good or bad, as long as the attribution of the awards can make them happy is enough.

Unfortunately, during the entire award ceremony, Ebert did not feel happy. On the contrary, the feeling of sitting quietly for the entire award ceremony and losing the award at the end made him a little bit unhappy.

At the beginning of the ceremony, the Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress awards were presented first, and Kate Winslet successfully won the trophy with "Life and Death Reading".In fact, in "Life and Death Reading", Kate's role is definitely the female lead, but her performance in "Revolutionary Road" is also excellent, and in the end she can only sign up for "Life and Death Reading" as a female supporting role.

When the Oscars were registered, "Life and Death Reading" was registered as the heroine. Ebert guessed that the Oscar registration time should be relatively late. At that time, the awards season had already started for a while. The performance in "Reading" has won numerous awards, and the competitiveness of this film has greatly surpassed "Road to Revolution".

This kind of situation often occurs in Oscars. The definition of protagonist and supporting role cannot be simply considered in terms of time.For example, Anthony Hopkins won the Oscar winner with only a few 10-minute performances. The appearance of the role of Hannibal may be a glimpse, but Hopkins' status as the male protagonist is beyond doubt. Because he is the soul figure throughout the entire movie of "The Silence of the Lambs".

Looking at the Oscars in recent years, there are not many purely female protagonists. Probably only Helen Mirren's "The Queen" can be classified into this category, and the opposite actors are her foils.The heroine plays a little more, and the actress and actor are equally important. Gwyneth Paltrow's "Shakespeare in Love" and Jodie Foster's "The Silence of the Lambs" can all be counted. in.

There are not absolutely many heroine roles, but the actors make the plot intense through their own performances, and the conflicts between several actors are particularly obvious in films, including "The Hours" starring Nicole Kidman. Her role may be Not too many, but Nicole's outstanding performance also won her an Oscar queen, and at this time the role is not absolute.

It is precisely because of this situation that many actresses can apply for both the leading actress department and the supporting actress department. Because the leading actress department is too competitive, some actresses settle for the next best thing and choose the less fierce competition. Supporting actress department.

For example, Catherine Zeta Jones in "Chicago" and Jennifer Hudson in "Dreamgirls", and fortunately, they also relied on this method to get their coveted trophy and beat their opponents with outstanding performance , has won acclaim.

Regardless, Kate deserves her efforts.Time flies, and although she has been nominated five times since 1996, this supporting actress trophy is her first Golden Globe.Compared with her competitors, Kate became famous earlier and was nominated earlier, but the time of receiving the award seems to be too late.

However, Kate, who is 34 years old this year, is still young. "Titanic" established her status as a first-line actress. Although Kate later fell in love with small literary and artistic films, many people thought she had taken a detour. Kate, who was about to cry on the stage with the trophy, Ebert thought, it was not too late, and Kate should not regret it.

In fact, he still admires the two actors who came out of "Titanic". They broke the box office record, became famous all over the world, and successfully entered the top line. However, they were not affected by the temptation of overnight fame. transcendence.

Best Supporting Actor should be the most suspenseful award at this year's Golden Globe Awards. Heath Ledger won this trophy for his outstanding performance in "The Dark Knight", which is also the most important award in his life Before that, even though he had won an Oscar nomination for "Brokeback Mountain", the nomination was just a nomination, and only the trophy was real.

The process of the Golden Globes proved that Lynn's previous guess was correct.Not only did Ebert fail to win the Best Actor Award for drama, but "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" became the biggest surprise from the leading film with 5 nominations before the awards. The choice of the Golden Globe is really surprising. After the new century, the style of the Golden Globe Awards has been criticized by people. The media previously speculated that even if "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" was unpopular, it should not be a problem to win a screenplay award.

The trophy for Best Actor in a Drama Series was finally awarded to Mickey Rourke. Although he was a little disappointed, Ebert was the first to stand up and applaud Mickey Rourke.

Many filmmakers in Hollywood are laughing at Mickey Rourke, laughing at him for playing boxing stupidly and making himself look like a ghost, his career has been ruined, and his face is so ruined that it makes people want to have nightmares, but in Ebert Come on, he admires such a person.

Whether it is a good dream or a bad dream, no matter whether it is a good result or a bad result in the process of realizing the dream, Mickey Rourke just obeys his own That's all, others are not qualified to laugh at it.

There are thousands of choices in life, but there are not so many people who can actively choose what they love.

It's just a pity that he and his Leo still have to return with regret.

The award for Best Actress in a Drama Series finally fell on Kate Winslet. She defeated Meryl Streep, Angelina Jolie and other strong opponents to win the first A Golden Globe Award for Best Actress.So far, Kate has become the biggest winner tonight. With the awards for Best Actress and Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, the 34-year-old Kate finally proved that she was right.

The winner of the best actor in a comedy category is Colin Farrell of "Killers Have No Vacation", and the best actress belongs to Sally Hawkins. These two actors are not particularly well-known in Hollywood, especially It is the latter, but his acting skills are above the level. Colin Farrell's appearance in "Sniper Booth" can be said to be shining. Too bad, there hasn't been a famous masterpiece so far. I have to say that this is indeed a pity.

The biggest winner of the night was undoubtedly "Slumdog Millionaire" directed by British director Danny Boyle. A double harvest at the box office and word of mouth.

This film adapted from an Indian novel and starring Indian actors is also the biggest dark horse at this year's Golden Globe Awards. It is not a literary film with profound thoughts and unique ideas, nor does it review the magnificent life of a great person. It just tells a touching story. Facts have proved that as long as the story is touching enough, the movie does not need to tell too much truth.

It was also chosen as the best picture in the drama category to reflect the innovation of the Golden Globes.For a long time, directors have always catered to the taste of Oscars to create some confusing films. They expected to rely on those films to win awards, but they forgot how to tell a good story. Losing audiences is inevitable.

"Disappointed?" On the way back, Leonardo carefully looked at Ebert's expression and asked softly.

Ebert shook his head: "No."

He turned his head and put his ear against Leonardo's: "Because I've been thinking about how to appease a certain guy all night, and the messages flying over one after another scared me to death."

"Are you so timid?" Leonardo snorted coldly, "Ebert, don't put on airs, I've seen through your tricks a long time ago. Be honest, what is your relationship with that damn Australian, don't think I didn't See, that guy's chest is almost touching your shoulders, so intimate!"

"My dear Leo, I've explained it to you countless times, why you just don't want to believe it?" Ebert scratched his hair, "I thought about it, but I still don't think he fits your fancy. "

Leonardo hummed softly in his nasal cavity: "That's because you don't know how annoying that guy who sticks to you like a frog is! Besides, he has been rumored to have an affair with you!"

Ebert finally decided to shut up, and if he got entangled with Leonardo on this topic, he would be the only one who was unlucky in the end. Ebert had already experienced it countless times.

However, he thought things too simply, and Leonardo didn't intend to let him go easily.Today is not normal, Leonardo is very upset when he thinks that he can only serve as an accompanying runner, but that annoying Australian can accept the cheers of the whole world with the trophy... Ebert's attitude makes him even more unhappy!

There is no way, under Leonardo's persecution and accusation, Ebert can only use unconventional means to make this guy's lips tightly blocked and he can no longer speak a word. One night and one day in the dark finally Ebert was relieved that Leonardo couldn't think of anything related to Heath Ledger.

But he knew very well in his heart that everything was not over yet, the Golden Globes could only be regarded as an appetizer, and the Oscars that would really make waves were still to come.

After the list of winners of the Golden Globe Awards came out, the doubts from the outside world were not very high. Only a few media regretted the defeat of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button".Although Slumdog Millionaire, which has won the most awards, is unpopular, the film's word-of-mouth and box office are very good. Since its release in November last year, the film has achieved a box office score of 11 million US dollars on the box office list. Ranked 1th in the whole year, in terms of plot, the director's unique conception, strong exotic style and reflection of real life also made the film gain a large number of fans.

In addition, Mickey Rourke's performance in "The Wrestler" is definitely at the actor level, and his award is also well-deserved.

Some media believe that the choice of the Golden Globes is different from the previous style of award distribution. This is an innovation of this 66-year-old award and deserves encouragement.

"But I still feel very uncomfortable, Ebert, your chances are actually great. If the Foreign Press Association really awards this award fairly and justly, I will not have any complaints, but if there are really so-called insiders, then you hope was taken away.”

Mr. Broker was not satisfied with the result.However, the outside world has an encouraging and tolerant attitude towards the Golden Globe Awards. No matter how dissatisfied he is, he can only swallow it in his stomach.

"Because everyone wants to see an award that is pure, unaffected by money, and sticks to its heart. Before that, the Golden Globe Award was stinky, money-oriented, and unprincipled. It moved towards the 'beautiful' A change in direction is something our media and film people have been longing for."

The agent couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "It's as if Kate Winslet's Golden Globe Queen wasn't pushed by Weinstein."

"They need superficial harmony. We are just actors and managers, so let's not worry about things that only big shots need to worry about."

"Hehe. If you really think so, your Oscar winner would have been eliminated long ago." The manager spread his hands, "It's a foregone conclusion. Besides, it's just a Golden Globe Award. Ebert , don't forget, you didn't get the Golden Globe the year you won the Oscar. Come on, my boy, I'm waiting for you to win the award, and then slap the face of the high-ranking Foreign Press Association."

Ebert nodded solemnly: "No problem, dear Mr. Broker."

It's not a foregone conclusion yet, and it's too early to be depressed, only to wait for the moment when the Oscars are finally announced.

On January 1, the belated list of nominations for the 22st Academy Awards was finally announced.The first thing Ebert paid attention to was the best actor nomination. The moment he saw himself appearing on the nomination list, Ebert's heart eased back a bit. However, Ebert didn't see Lai Leonardo's name, although the evaluation of "Road to Revolution" in the awards season has not been particularly prominent, but seeing this result, Ebert still feels a little pain in his heart.

He could imagine Leo's bad mood after knowing the result.

He didn't know what it was like to be longing and hopeful all the time but in vain.After all, he is the "lucky guy" in his family Leo's mouth, but Ebert has also felt the same, because he still remembers his eagerness when he lost the Golden Globe Award at the 64th Golden Globe Awards.

Because at that time he had already been nominated for Oscars twice, if he won the Golden Globe, his path to the Olympics would undoubtedly be more assured.

The reason why he lost his composure was because he also became impatient and flustered. He couldn't bear the days when he could only get nominations but couldn't win awards.At that time, he had only been an actor for 7 years, and he began to lose control. It was hard to imagine how Leo, who had been in the industry for nearly 20 years, was feeling.

Ebert thought of Peter O'Toole, an actor who had been nominated 8 times but didn't win a prize, and could only walk into the grave with a lifetime achievement award... Ebert didn't comment too much on his acting skills, but Ebert I thought, he must be the actor with the best mentality in the world.

The other four actors nominated for Best Actor are Sean Penn, Mickey Rourke, Frank Langella and Richard Jenkins. Among the nominees, Richard Jenkins is the least famous, he has been active in There are not many film works on the stage of drama and TV series. This time, "The Uninvited Guest", which made him shortlisted for the best actor category, is his most successful film work among the few.

Richard Jenkins was not nominated for a Golden Globe.Comparing the list of nominations for the Oscars with the Golden Globes, the audience can easily find that this year’s Golden Globes has almost no nominations for best actor in the comedy category. Of the four, only one, Richard Jenkins, replaced Leonardo.

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" was nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Makeup, Best Soundtrack, Best Sound Effects, Best Visual Effects, Best Adaptation The screenplay and other nominations, 13 nominations are far ahead of other works, and it is also the 9th most nominated movie in Oscar history, which is exciting.

However, considering the big upset at the Golden Globe Awards, even though the number of nominations exploded, the crew still maintained a calm and apprehensive attitude.
