Vol 2 Chapter 779: Real weather vane

"Those small association awards can be ignored..."
Sitting on the solo sofa, Panikelis said to Duke, Scarlett and Nancy Josephson very seriously,
New York Film Critics Association Award, Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award, and National Film Critics Association Award, this The best actress in the three awards is still very important."
"Even if we can screen early," Duke shook his head, "Scarlett's chances of getting the three December awards are very small."
To be precise, it is basically impossible, Scarlett will be completely dragged down by him.
Although with the departure of well-known film critics of the older generation such as Roger Albert, coupled with today’s era when everyone is a film critic, the contradiction between Duke and professional film critics is no longer the same as before. Sharp, but wanting to gain something in film critic awards is basically a daydream.
Having said that, he doesn't care too much about these three awards. The Oscar outpost awards are also different.
"Last month on the 30th,"
Nancy Josephson, who has been silent for a long time, spoke, "The Actors Guild and the Golden Globes have announced the nominations. Both you and Scarlett are shortlisted for individual awards."
She just finished speaking, and Panikelis took over,
The Golden Globes can be ignored. We should invest our resources on the three major union awards. There is still one month before the Oscar nominations are announced. We still have enough Time works."
Although according to the regulations of the college, various public relations activities must be stopped after the Oscar nominations are announced, but few people can really follow this regulation, but some things are inconvenient to do.
Duke looked at Scarlett, and then nodded to Panichelis, "The Outpost Award focuses on the three major guilds, and the Golden Globes don't care about him."
Having been in Hollywood for so many years, Duke knows very well that as the Screen Actors Guild and the Golden Globes each announced their nominations, this year's North American awards season is also in full swing, from the beginning of October to the last sentence of "andthe" the following year. . All kinds of awards are endless. If you want to have the last laugh at the Oscars, you must first recognize which awards are genuine, use your position and influence in the industry to influence the future, and which ones are to follow the trend and strive to match Xiaojin people. Come to hold the thigh.
Want to make a difference in the awards season. On the other side of the ocean, the phrase "time, place, and people are in harmony" is naturally indispensable.
Among these three elements, the most important thing is "time". Whether it is Sundance films, summer commercial films, or awards season literary films, everyone wants to get a share of the Oscar.
However, most of the Oscar judges who are "everything every day" do not have time to watch them one by one. In this way, if you want your work to stand out among hundreds of DVD samples, when it will be released becomes one of the most important elements.
This is one of the reasons why most "awarding season films" will choose to be released from November to December-that is, before the Oscar nomination voting begins-to use the opposite side of the word, that is, close to the water, the first month!
Looking at the best films of the past 15 years, only "Saving Private Ryan" and "Gladiator" were drawn near the non-awarding season window.
Then there is the geographical advantage. Compared with other outpost awards, only the "Film Critics Association Award" is the most regional.
Every year near the awards season, film critic groups in the first-tier cities in North America will gather together to select the best of the year in their hearts; among the numerous "Association Awards", only New York film critics have real reference value. Association Award, Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award and National Film Critics Association Award.
Needless to say, New York and Los Angeles. The former sits on New York City, where the art is high, and is the oldest film critic award in the United States. The latter is at the heart of the entire film industry and can always reflect the views of some practitioners to a certain extent.
And on this basis, the National Film Critics Association Award, which is famous for its sword and slant, uses its own unique taste to give a boost to those relatively unpopular films.
As for the
American Critics’ Choice Award,
which is famous and bluffing, it doesn’t actually have much influence in the circle. Unlike the professional film critics’ associations mentioned above, this award is awarded by people from all over the country. The "Broadcast Film Critics Association" composed of reporters and a few film critics was organized, and its purpose was to make itself famous by packaging itself as a qualified Oscar vane.
The above two points are very important. But the most important point comes from ‘people and harmony’.
That is the union award, which comes from the recognition within the industry!
Anyone who knows a little about the rules of the Oscar awards knows that the most important thing is to get the recognition within the industry if you want to win, and this aspect can be very obvious in the awards of directors, screenwriters, producers and actors. .
If the "Film Critics Association Award" can more or less affect how the Oscar judges choose among the stacks of "submitted" samples. Then the trade union award is truly an award that can be called a "weathervane".
The reason is simple. Voters for the union awards are the top industry insiders in all aspects of film production. Their professional opinions on their respective aspects must not be underestimated; and the most important thing is that the voters who participated in the union awards and Oscars Voters for each award have a great overlap.
The Screen Actors Guild Award, which has the lowest voting threshold and the most powerful awards since its inception in 1995, has "predicted" the Oscar performance award 57 times. Over the past 10 years, the overlap with the Oscars has been as high as 92%; and the "Best Picture" awarded by the Producer Conference Awards has been the same as the judges of the Academy for 11 consecutive years.
Data will not deceive, and it is the best proof. The major trade union awards are the true Oscar vane.
Let’s talk about the Golden Globes.
This so-called "Oscar vane", which is most well-known to the public, is simply ignored in the circle.
The Golden Globe Awards is an award organized by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. It has nothing to do with the academics. It is the consensus of the Hollywood Press Association to say that it sounds good. It is the consensus of the Hollywood Reporters Association to say that it is a group of reporters who have mixed in on the edge of Hollywood in order to be able to interact with stars. The big party we organized for a meal together is known as the "Oscar vane". In order to improve the accuracy, the awards are divided into two categories: "drama" and "comedy/musical."
But in fact, the probability of "guessing" the ownership of the Golden Man is not as high as Duke's blindfolded coin.
Of course, if you use it as a collection of Oscar warm-up jokes, it is still very interesting.
To finalize the main award for the weather vane, several people discussed a few more words, and Panikelis talked about the most advantageous point of the other party, "Many of the people I contacted have a good impression of Natalie Portman. On the one hand, she has a good description of her long-term business. On the other hand, her performance in "Black Swan" is really amazing. Based on this, she is a pregnant woman, which has affected the perception of many people."
Whether Duke admits it or not, this is where Natalie Portman's advantage lies.
And since the nomination of the Screen Actors Guild and the Golden Globes was announced, Natalie Portman has obviously increased her exposure. In many media and TV shows, she can be seen with a big belly.
This is undoubtedly Natalie Portman's killer.
However, from the day of receiving the relevant news, Duke thought of some solutions. It may not be able to completely offset the sympathy points brought by it, but it can always play a role.
Casting a look at Tina Fei behind, she picked up two file bags and handed them to Panikelis and Nancy Josephson.
"This is the profile of Benjamin Milleppe’s ex-girlfriend. My people have already contacted her." Duke saw them opening the file bag before continuing, "She is a Broadway actor and lost her relationship with Natalie Potter. It is said that the key reason Benjamin Milleppy chose Natalie Portman and gave up her battle for Mann was that Natalie Portman was pregnant."
Listening to Duke's words and flipping through the information, Panikelis' eyes gradually brightened, "Broadway actor? Still very thoughtful and ambitious, and want to transition to Hollywood?"
She suddenly laughed, "There are so many things we can do, I'm afraid she has no ideas."
After closing the information, Panikelis exchanged opinions with Nancy Josephson, and then said to Duke, "I will take care of this matter."
Duke nodded, and said to Nancy Josephson, "The information from Natalie Portman will be forwarded directly to Penny."
From a long time ago, Duke has been making targeted arrangements. Although the film was not officially released until the end of the year, related work has already begun.
In the past Oscars, perhaps the major film studios only did public relations for the award itself, but since the beginning of the new century, many people are still discrediting their competitors while working on their own public relations. For example, last year’s best film "The Hurt Locker", it One of the producers kept calling the judges and forwarding emails to belittle and discredit "Avatar"...
The college stipulates that public relations activities cannot be used to demean opponents to raise oneself, but this regulation may have been followed 15 years ago, and now there are endless ways to demean opponents through various channels such as the media.
In fact, those disparaging articles in the media can't be used to determine where they came from.
Only one month has passed since the Academy announced the Oscar nomination list. Films interested in competing for Oscars have increased their public relations and publicity efforts. Many offensive and derogatory articles have appeared. As one of the most popular films with high reputation, "Gravity" is inevitably involved. (To be continued.)
