The nominations for the 2012 Golden Globes have been revealed, with French silent film The Artist leading with six nominations, and two George Clooney films up against each other for best drama. This year's Golden Globe nominations reveal something of a love affair between Hollywood and France. Martin Scorsese's Hugo and Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris are both largely set in a romanticised version of the French capital. Hugo - with three nominations in all - is in the running for best drama picture. Midnight in Paris - with four nods - is up for best picture in the musical or comedy category. But this isn't a case of unrequited passion. In the same category is French silent film The Artist - a love letter to Hollywood's silent era. Michel Hazanavicius's film is unusual in that it is a 21st Century movie which looks like it was made in 1927. He even shot it in Hollywood - in black and white. French actor Jean Dujardin plays a silent screen actor who sees his career crumble with the advent of "talkies". Meanwhile, Peppy Miller (Berenice Bejo) is a pretty young extra who sees her star ascend in the era of sound. Both Dujardin and Bejo are up for acting Globes, with Hazanavicius up for best director. There is another French connection worth mentioning: Steven Spielberg's War Horse is set in both a picture-postcard England and the muddy, war-ravaged trenches of France during World War I. The film - released in the UK next year - is up for best drama picture against nuanced family tale The Descendants, civil rights story The Help, Scorsese's Hugo, political thriller The Ides of March and baseball-oriented Moneyball. But despite the recognition for War Horse as a film, Spielberg has been omitted from the best director shortlist. George Clooney, on the other hand, is definitely in. He's nominated for political thriller The Ides of March - both as director and co-writer. His co-star in the film, Ryan Gosling, gets a nod for best actor (drama), only to find himself up against Clooney, who is nominated for his role in The Descendants. (Read by Lee Hannon.

2012年度金球獎(jiǎng)各獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)提名名單近日揭曉,法國(guó)無(wú)聲電影《藝術(shù)家》獲得六項(xiàng)提名領(lǐng)跑,而喬治?克魯尼參與的兩部影片將一同角逐最佳劇情類電影。 今年的金球獎(jiǎng)提名似乎體現(xiàn)出好萊塢和法國(guó)之間的“熱戀”關(guān)系。 馬丁?斯科塞斯的《雨果》、伍迪?艾倫的《午夜巴黎》都主要以浪漫版的法國(guó)首都巴黎為背景拍攝。 《雨果》獲得三項(xiàng)提名,將角逐最佳劇情類電影。《午夜巴黎》獲得四項(xiàng)提名,將角逐最佳音樂/喜劇類影片。 但這并非沒有回報(bào)的“戀情”。法國(guó)無(wú)聲電影《藝術(shù)家》也將角逐最佳劇情類電影,這部影片好似是給好萊塢的無(wú)聲時(shí)代的一封情書。 邁克爾?哈扎納維希烏斯執(zhí)導(dǎo)的《藝術(shù)家》與眾不同,這是一部21世紀(jì)的電影,看上去卻像在1927年拍攝的。他甚至是在好萊塢拍攝了這部黑白片。 法國(guó)男星讓?杜雅爾丹在影片中飾演一位出演無(wú)聲電影的男演員,在有聲電影到來(lái)后,影片中男演員的事業(yè)遇到了挫折。而貝熱尼絲?貝喬飾演的年輕漂亮的臨時(shí)演員帕皮?米勒則在有聲電影時(shí)代名聲大噪。 杜雅爾丹和貝喬都將角逐金球獎(jiǎng)演員獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)。哈扎納維希烏斯將角逐最佳導(dǎo)演。 還有一部法國(guó)影片值得一提:斯蒂芬?斯皮爾伯格執(zhí)導(dǎo)的《戰(zhàn)馬》的拍攝背景不僅有一戰(zhàn)時(shí)期風(fēng)景如畫的英格蘭、也有泥濘不堪、受到戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)蹂躪的法國(guó)戰(zhàn)壕。 這部影片將于明年在英國(guó)上映,也將角逐劇情類最佳影片。同時(shí)獲得提名的還有講述微妙的家庭故事的《后人》、民權(quán)故事片《幫助》、馬丁?斯科塞斯的《雨果》、政治驚悚片《三月十五日》、以及棒球影片《點(diǎn)球成金》。 盡管影片《戰(zhàn)馬》得到了公認(rèn),斯皮爾伯格卻沒能參與角逐最佳導(dǎo)演。 但喬治?克魯尼卻成功躋身候選名單。他因政治驚悚片《三月十五日》獲得最佳導(dǎo)演和最佳編劇提名。 與他聯(lián)袂出演的瑞恩?高斯林獲得最佳劇情片男主角提名,與克魯尼狹路相逢。克魯尼因出演《后人》獲得該項(xiàng)提名。 相關(guān)閱讀 (中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)網(wǎng)英語(yǔ)點(diǎn)津 Julie 編輯:陳丹妮) |
