Los Angeles.

The 46th Golden Globe Awards Ceremony held on January 28 became a complete joke in the eyes of many people.

Although there are no clear regulations, according to the practice established over the years, film award selections usually have five nominations for one award.

However, this year's Golden Globe Awards completely let themselves go.

For Best Picture in a Drama category, there were seven nominations; for Best Director, six nominations; for Best Supporting Actor, six nominations; even for the technical category of Best Original Song, there were still six nominations.

The film categories of the Golden Globe Awards are not as comprehensive as the Oscars. Four unconventional nominations appeared at one time, making the organizers of the Golden Globe Awards, which have been criticized for various scandals in recent years, look even more unprofessional.

If a series of unconventional nominations were merely a source of ridicule, the final chaotic award results completely turned the Golden Globes into the target of a large number of media attacks.

It is not uncommon for film awards to have double yolks. The competition between two films of equal quality is so fierce that the judges divide the awards equally, and sometimes it becomes a good deal.

But, have you ever seen a three-yolk egg?

There were five nominations, and three people won the award. How could this make the other two feel embarrassed?

This happened at the Golden Globe Awards.

And there's more than one.

Counting TV awards, there were two "three-yolk eggs" and three "double-yolk eggs" at the 46th Golden Globe Awards. When Sigourney Weaver, who also won the Best Actress in a Drama Series,

The three actresses Jodie Foster and Shirley MacLaine stood on the podium together, and the camera was broadcast live, and the whole audience was laughing.

Then a series of three-yolk eggs and double-yolk eggs came one after another, and everyone was numb with embarrassment.

Moreover, the award results were completely unconvincing.

The best film in the drama category was awarded to the biopic "The Fog" starring Sigourney Weaver. "Dead Poets Society" unfortunately failed to win, and the organizers of the Golden Globe Awards have already clarified that "Rain Man" did not apply for this year's award.

Award, which is quite reasonable.

"The Fog" is indeed an excellent movie.

However, the Best Picture Musical Comedy category was awarded to "Working Girl," which surprised everyone.

During the initial nomination period, the nomination of "Working Girl," a new film by Mike Nichols, the director of "The Graduate" and "The Graduate," has already caused some controversy. Both "The Graduate" and "The Graduate"

It can be called a classic, but "Working Girl", a business war movie that obviously followed last year's "Wall Street", is very mediocre, and its nomination is completely undeserved.

Compared with "Wall Street", which has highly professional content but is by no means obscure, "Working Girl" just tells a very clichéd workplace story.

Clerk Tessie (played by Melanie Griffith) provides a business plan to her female boss Catherine (played by Sigourney Weaver). Catherine claims that the plan is invalid, but in fact she wants to dominate the idea. Tessie

Unexpectedly discovering the truth, she pretended to be her boss and went directly to contact the target company, and met Jack (Harrison Ford), an executive of the other company. Tessie and Jack had a spark, and with Jack's help, Tessie was promoted.

Catherine was fired.

above.

"Wall Street" has professional business confrontations, fierce intrigues, and Gordon Gekko's "Greed is Good" that shows the greedy nature of capital. As for "Working Girl", it probably only has Mike Nichols.

Twenty years ago, he won the Oscar for Best Director for "The Graduate".

The other four movies nominated in the same period, except for Universal's not-so-dazzling "Midnight Run", the other "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", "A Fish Named Wanda" and "Future" are obviously better than

"Working Girl" is excellent. Not to mention "When Harry Met Sally" and "Steel Magnolias" produced by Daenerys Entertainment. These two films are obviously also qualified to win the best picture in the musical comedy category.

But he didn't even get a nomination.

Faced with the intense controversy, the organizers of the Golden Globe Awards could only publicly explain that "When Harry Met Sally" also did not apply for nomination. As for "Steel Magnolias", the jury believed that this film was more in the drama category, so

No nominations were given in the musical comedy category.

Barabara.

Daenerys Entertainment did not return empty-handed at the Golden Globe Awards, where someone clearly tried too hard on public relations. The awards for Best Director for "Dead Poets Society" and Best Supporting Actress for "Steel Magnolias" have already reached

It met Simon's expectations and he had no dissatisfaction.

In Simon's view, film awards that can be manipulated by influence are good awards. If they are too fair, it will be very troublesome.

Of course, this indifferent attitude must not be shown.

Not only that, in order to put pressure on the upcoming Oscars, Daenerys Entertainment also launched a timely public opinion offensive to protest against the company's films that were unfairly treated at the Golden Globe Awards.

This strategy is usually very effective.

Just like in the original time and space, because there were no black people nominated for a certain Oscar, someone jumped out and shouted a few times, so the next year immediately gave a best film with an all-black production team, and all the director and actor award nominations were

There were also black people, and a few statuettes were taken away. The proportion was staggering.

Then, Wednesday, February 1st.

The nominations for the 61st Academy Awards have been officially announced.

"Rain Man" produced by Daenerys Entertainment received 8 nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor.

Moreover, Simon's own name also appeared in these eight nominations, and the nomination award was for Best Score. Because Hans Zimmer, who had not yet become famous, could not be found, after taking over the post-production of "Rain Man", Simon referred to his memory.

version personally completed the soundtrack for the film.

"Dead Poets Society" also successfully received two nominations for Best Director and Best Actor.

In order to avoid competition with "Rain Man", Daenerys Entertainment voluntarily gave up its application for best picture for "Dead Poets Society", but another application for best original screenplay was not shortlisted.

In addition, the company also applied for three nominations for "Steel Magnolias": Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actress. However, only Julia Roberts received the Best Supporting Actress nomination, and the other two nominations were the same.

Failed.

In total, Daenerys Entertainment has received a total of 11 nominations at the upcoming Oscars.

This kind of achievement is not impressive. Warner has won a total of six films through "Dangerous Liaisons", "The Unexpected Passenger", "Danger in the Fog", "Parker", "Beetlejuice" and "Nothing Goes".

19 nominations.

However, except for "Dangerous Liaisons" in which Sandra starred, which received 7 nominations, the other films received basically non-core nominations.

On the other hand, because Orion still focuses its public relations on "Mississippi Burning", "Pulp Fiction", whose copyright is in the hands of the other party, only received one nomination for Best Actor in John Travolta this time.

The Golden Globes also lacked one nomination for the screenplay category.

As the winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes last year, "Pulp Fiction" has unquestionable reputation and box office.

After returning empty-handed at the Golden Globe Awards, it was ignored by the Oscars. Many media could not help but complain about the film. Because this time, Mike Nicholson's "Working Girl" still received a lot of Oscar nominations, winning a total of

Received 6 nominations including Best Picture and Best Director.

After the Oscar nominations were announced, a film critic for Variety magazine sharply criticized the Golden Globes and Oscar organizers for placing the owner of "Rain Man," "Pulp Fiction," "Dead Poets Society," "A Man Named Wong"

"The Big Fish", "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", "When Harry Met Sally" and many other excellent films were forcibly downgraded into a mediocre film through their own insider award selections.

'Little Year'.

The critic also unabashedly pointed his finger at the Writers Guild of America.

It is not difficult for careful people to find that in addition to the highly anticipated "Rain Man", Daenerys Entertainment's "Dead Poets Society", "Steel Magnolias", "When Harry Met Sally" and especially Simon's own "

Other films such as "Pulp Fiction" were not nominated for screenplay awards.

Simon Westeros, as the best young screenwriter of the 1980s, has not even been nominated for two consecutive years. This is simply a joke.

The judges for the Oscar screenwriting awards are basically members of the Writers Guild of America.

Daenerys Entertainment's popular reality show "Who Will Be a Millionaire" almost derailed the Writers Guild's strike last year. Although the strike was successfully settled in the end, the agreement reached was also severely reduced.

Under such a profound contradiction, the Writers Guild did not ignore "Rain Man", which is already leaving room for itself. "Pulp Fiction" and other films under Daenerys Entertainment naturally do not expect any nominations.

Of course, as the strength of Daenerys Entertainment further increases, the conflicts between the two parties will gradually resolve.

In the final analysis, the relationship between screenwriters and film companies is always that of employees and bosses. When it comes to their own jobs, whether they like it or not, most of the time people have to choose to forget or pretend to forget, and then compromise.

The turmoil in Japan's financial market has not affected Daenerys Entertainment's operations.

After the Oscar nominations were announced, Ira Deutschman began the final stage of public relations sprint.

At the same time, Daenerys Entertainment also released the first movie of the new year on February 3, Catherine's second theatrical feature film "Blue Angel".

Compared with blockbuster films such as "Rain Man", which are still steadily reaping box office revenue, "Blue Angel" has a pretty good reputation among film critics, with an average score of 7 points, but the box office is a bit lackluster. In the first week of its release, "Blue Angel"

It only earned US$3.81 million at the box office on a total of 1,121 screens in North America, and the total domestic box office is expected to be only about US$8 million.

The final production cost of "Blue Angel" was US$10 million, and the publicity and distribution costs were approximately US$3.5 million. The North American box office of US$8 million, including other distribution income, was destined to be a loss of millions of dollars.

Simon and Catherine have a special relationship, which is no secret in the circle.

Therefore, Daenerys Entertainment did not pay too much attention to the failure of this movie. Even after a year of hits, occasionally losing one or two movies, it seemed to be good.

The world cannot continue to be abnormal.

On February 17, after more than a month of financial audit, Daenerys Entertainment’s 1988 financial report was finally released.

As of December 31, 1988, Daenerys Entertainment Group's total annual revenue reached US$708 million.

Because Daenerys Entertainment is still in the early stages of development, the revenue of each department of the company has not been divided too finely. It is currently only divided into three major business sectors: film, television and comics, and the revenue scale of film and television derivatives is still very small.

Income is directly consolidated and calculated, and expenditures such as office space purchase and private jet leasing are also treated in the same way.

Among the three major business segments.

The total revenue from the film business was US$276 million, including various types of revenue sharing from a series of Daenerys Pictures films and revenue from theaters and video tapes of New World Entertainment films.
