Ace Hollywood

(Chapter One)

Because of the rush to shoot "The Bourne Shadow", Daniel and Kusa mostly rely on phone calls and the Internet. The current work during the awards season also mainly relies on Kusa and Melissa, and of course there are newly joined "temporary workers"-Te River.

So far, some of the contenders for the major awards have surfaced, but more will come in the next month or two.

Steven Soderbergh's "Uncompromising" basically locks in the Oscar crown, Julia Roberts, Hollywood's most expensive actress with one Best Actress and one Best Supporting Actress nominations After that, today will be the biggest favorite to win the award, and in the long prelude to the Oscars, it will also be the most eye-catching award winner.

In addition, Soderbergh has another movie this year. According to the arrangement, this movie about Mexican drug dealers, named "Drug Network", will be screened after Christmas-basically only in New York and Los Angeles. It will be screened to meet the Academy's award requirements and will be officially released early next year.

The ambitious Soderbergh will surprise everyone this year.

In addition to "Drug Network", the equally eye-catching "Chocolate" will also be released around Christmas, and the goal of aiming at Oscars is obvious. The cooperation between Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp is indeed reason to look forward to. Although the latter has many works, he has not proved himself, but Binoche is completely different. A great actress who left her name - the first actress to win the best actress in three European film festivals! If you count the Oscar for best supporting actress for "The English Patient", she has achieved the "quasi-slam" of the four most prestigious film awards in the world. The performance is moving enough, and she will undoubtedly be the rival of the big-mouthed beauty, and she herself will achieve a real grand slam.

Chinese director Ang Lee's masterpiece "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" this year has also received a lot of praise in the preliminary screenings. The film will be released in North America in late December. It has been screened in Taiwan and other places before, and achieved good results.

The media's enthusiasm for this all-Chinese film is astounding, claiming that it will win the best foreign language film, and even more Oscars.

Zemeckis and Tom Hanks' new work "Cast Away" is of course also a minor hit, including Heath Ledger and Mel Gibson's "Patriot" and "Almost Famous", etc. Potential contender for big prizes.

As far as Daniel is targeting Best Supporting Actor, on the nomination list for the New York Film Critics Association Awards, Beniso del Toro in "Drug Network" is the biggest rival, Albert in "Never Compromise", " Willem Dafoe in The Phantom of the Vampire is also very popular, and these are basically all his opponents.

Of course, Daniel himself is also one of the strong contenders.

On the one hand, Universal originally placed the world premiere in the New York rectangle, which was regarded as giving New York film critics enough face. According to the word-of-mouth of "Gladiator"-it still has a score of 86 on imdb, and Daniel Sandler For his outstanding performance in the movie, he portrayed Comodius in a three-dimensional and full-bodied, hateful and pathetic manner, which has won praise from many well-known film critics.

A big part of that is the New York film critics.

Therefore, "Drug Network", which has not yet been released on a large scale, is of course at a disadvantage, and it is somewhat too deliberate to choose to screen in New York at the end of the year. This is their weakness.

According to Trevor's analysis - what Shanying can do at this time is relatively limited. This is not the Internet Popularity Award, and each award has to be selected by the judges.

Triver thinks Daniel is the number one favorite to win the award, followed by Beniso.

DreamWorks and Universal decided to make Daniel's Best Supporting Actor the main public relations object for the New York Film Critics Circle Awards, which is a very important reason. According to their public relations department's predictions, Russell Crowe and Tom Hanks are not very likely to compete, because New York film critics are notoriously fond of Forrest Gump, and according to previous evaluations, Crowe's evaluation is lower than Tom Hanks no less.

It is not advisable for the two parties to consume publicity and public relations resources. The other party is Tom Hanks, the super-star of Lian Zhuang's Oscar winner-presumably the Academy will not allow him to win another Oscar, at least within ten years, so Crowe occupies an absolute position in the Oscars. First move, then now, there is no need to spend too many resources to go in.

Daniel has now become a breakthrough for the producers. This year's New York Film Critics Association Awards, "Gladiator" participated in the competition for five awards, and the most certain one is Daniel's Best Supporting Actor.

This is the first influential award of the awards season, and it is also the winner of the five major Film Critics Association awards-New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, the National Association of Film Critics, and the National Academy of Critics. It is very important for "Gladiator" to get the first shot. Important, if there are countless particles, it will indeed be a big hit.

All kinds of circumstances created an unprecedented possibility for Daniel to win this award.

"If no one gets dizzy, the awards won't go away." Triver has a lot of experience running award seasons, and Coosa is determined to believe in him, but work has to be done.

Talk to the critics at Universal's cocktail party and explain why Daniel couldn't make it.

This is not very important, because there is no award ceremony for this award, so it is not a problem whether to have an interview, but explaining it can still show that Daniel attaches great importance to them. Isn't this what film critics love most?

On the other hand, out of trust in Triver and confidence in winning this award, and Triver himself took over the media resources—of course, excluding Jones’ bed, the media has recently begun to create an atmosphere—Daniel took Winning this award means that he has become an acting school and a new superstar. Reports have added fuel to explain the importance of this award from different angles--the wind vane of the Oscars, the lofty status of New York film critics, and so on.

As for New York film critics taking pleasure in opposing the Oscars, this does not mean that the report is lying at all-because the weather vane can also point to the opposite.

Jessica in Los Angeles is often asked her opinion on Daniel's award, not only the New York Film Critics Association Award, the main purpose is the Oscar, Jessica is of course smiling, and if she doesn't say a word, the media will naturally speculate Send out various information such as "smiling with confidence", "comfort in the chest", "sweet love" and so on.

Burn the fire higher and hotter.

As for how Horner criticized Daniel's team behind his back, it is unknown to outsiders.
