The box office of the single hall was US$130,000 and the box office of the weekend was US$1.43 million. In the third week of December, the North American weekend box office ranked tenth... This is the result of the first week of "Beautiful Mind". It is hard to imagine that this is actually the result of a work that was screened in only eleven theaters, even surpassing those screened in more than a thousand theaters.

From the media review to the theater rating to the box office of the single hall, the "Beautiful Mind" broke out in an all-round way. After only one week of release, it became the hottest topic in the awards season. Almost everyone is discussing the prospects of the awards season of this work. , Everyone agreed that this work is fully capable of becoming the "Forrest Gump" in 1999.

Although the prospect of "Beautiful Mind" at the award ceremony still depends on luck, whether it will become "Forrest Gump" or "Purple" can only be seen at the award ceremony; however, the first to announce the nomination list The Golden Globes proves the current mainstream view.

Following the explosion in the first year of the awards season last year, this year is generally regarded as a small awards year. There are many powerful works, but they can truly reach the heights of "Saving Private Ryan" and "Trumen's World". However, there is not a single work. Even if it is a "beautiful mind", the overall height of the theme and social influence are one size smaller than last year's works.

Before the strong rise of "Beautiful Mind", the most watched works during the awards season were undoubtedly "Puppet Life" and "Hurricane". The former was an independent film and the latter was a biographical film. The two works led the award season as a whole in all aspects. Recognized, and the overall momentum has its own advantages and disadvantages, regardless of Xuan Zhen.

However, the layout of these two works is too small. From investment to subject matter, from script to core, none of them can show the dominance of the country. Except for the original script of "Puppet Life", the two works and The top five players in last year's best film are inferior in any aspect.

This made the whole awards season seem a little uninterested, not to mention the audience, even many professional insiders are lacking in interest. Most professionals are looking forward to the "Genius Ripley" released on Christmas-this work is generally optimistic, and believes that it has the ability to complete the reign of this year's awards season and replicate the glory of the "British Patient" three years ago.

However, before the release of "Genius Preley", the neglected "Beautiful Mind" landed first, and showed its popularity in a devastating posture. Although "Genius Preley" had its grand premiere in advance on December 12, making it eligible to compete for the Golden Globe Award, the overall momentum was far from reaching its peak. As a result, the Golden Globe The list of nominations for the award presents a completely different pattern.

"Beautiful Mind" won seven nominations above the Golden Globe Awards, leading the entire nomination stage; "Genius Preley" followed closely with five nominations, showing strong competitiveness.

"Beautiful Mind" has undoubtedly won two heavyweight nominations for Best Picture and Best Director in a drama category, three nominations for Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress in a Drama category, plus the most The nomination for excellent script and best film soundtrack has made the film the biggest hit at this year's Golden Globe Awards.

It can be seen from the nomination that in addition to the best actress in the drama category, "Beautiful Mind" has almost won the nominations for all important awards at the Golden Globe Awards. People clearly saw the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's affirmation of this work.

"Genius Ripley" is worthy of being a popular name. It won five nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Film Soundtrack in a drama category. The overall momentum is not very impressive. Show weakness. However, the lack of a nomination for the best screenwriter is undoubtedly a huge shortcoming, which also makes people uncertain about the prospects of the film. Maybe the situation will change differently after the film is officially screened.

In addition, "Shocking Inside Story" has also won five nominations, and will compete in projects such as best film in drama, best director, best actor in drama, best screenwriter, and best film score. It can be seen that although "Breaking Insider" has the same number of nominations as "Genius Ripley", the quality of the nominations is not inferior. It even won a place in the extremely competitive screenwriting department, which also allowed " The prospects of "shocking inside stories" have been rising steadily.

Although the three works of "Beautiful Mind", "Genius Ripley" and "Breaking Inside Story" set off a frenzy of discussion, the overall situation is far from comparable to last year. Moreover, in addition to these two works, other works that won nominations at the Golden Globe Awards lack the ability to further impact.

In the battle for the best film in the drama category, "Beautiful Mind", "Love to End", "Hurricane", "Breaking Inside Story", and "Genius Ripley" became the top five contestants; and the best in the musical comedy category The five seats in the film are divided between "Toy Story 2", "Boss Analyze", "Puppet Life", "Man on the Moon", and "Notting Hill".

Judging from the ten shortlisted works of the best film, whether it is investment scale, box office performance, film review word-of-mouth, popularity feedback, or ideological core, social influence, compared with the previous year, they are all down. Of course, "Beautiful Mind" and "Genius Ripley" have not yet been fully released, and the future development curve is still unpredictable, but the current best-performing works are not satisfactory.

"Shocking Inside Story" is currently the most outstanding performance and is considered to be this year's "L.A. Confidential"; "Notting Hill" is considered this year's "Shakespeare Love History", and "Man on the Moon" is this year's "Truman". Just from the perspective of this review, it can be seen that none of the works this year can meet expectations, and can only be regarded as the second of XX’s works. The quality and reputation are all smaller, and the influence is even greater. It is impossible to compare.

Now all hope is pinned on the performance of "Beautiful Mind" and "Genius Ripley" after their full release.

The most surprising thing is that the "Spiritual Sixth Sense" was in the midst of applause, but failed to be shortlisted for the best picture, which also triggered a wide range of heated discussions-so much so that the same high-profile but failed to win the nomination The "Cider House Rules" of "Cider House" is a little lonely. Everyone is arguing whether this work is eligible for nomination. Supporters and opponents exist. At this time, the limitations of "Sixth Sense of Supernatural" as a horror movie Sex is reflected, which is bound to become the focus of people's disputes.

At least judging from the choice of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, they do not think that this work is eligible for nomination.

The same result also appeared in the Best Director Award. The directors of the five best film nominees in the drama category were shortlisted, Ron Howard of "Beautiful Mind", Norman Jewison of "Hurricane", " Neil Jordan of Love to the End, Michael Mann of "The Inside Story", and Anthony Minghella of "Genius Ripley" successfully entered the final battle.

It can also be seen that these five works are the most outstanding works at this stage, making the nomination lists of the best film in the drama category and the best director completely overlap, but it also makes the five best films in the musical comedy category. The position of the nominated works is a bit embarrassing.

But looking at the five seats of the best screenwriters, the overall pattern becomes even more ambiguous.

Hugo Lancaster of "Beautiful Mind", Charlie Kaufman of "Puppet Life", Michael Mann of "The Inside Story", m-Night-Samalan of "Sixth Sense of Supernatural", " John Owen (.) of "Cider House Rules" was among the final competition.

In this list, Charlie, known as the "ghost" turned out with his debut, will undoubtedly be the most popular, and the two works of "Beautiful Mind" and "Shocking Inside Story" are both shortlisted. Popular name. Relatively speaking, the "Spiritual Sixth Sense" won a seat, but completely absent from the final main prize competition, which is quite embarrassing.

This also makes it impossible for people to see the overall direction of the Golden Globe Awards.

The same situation has also appeared in the competition for other awards. The five nominees for the best actor in the drama category are Denzel Washington from "Hurricane", Russell Crowe from "Insider", and "Genius Ray". Matt Damon of Pooley, Richard Farnsworth of "Mr. Streit's Story (the..., Hugo Lancaster of "Beautiful Mind".

Among them Denzel, Richard, Hugo, Matt are not nominated for the first time, but the overall influence of Richard and Matt is slightly inferior, Dan Zell and Hugo two former movie stars have attracted much attention, and the strong rise of Russell will bring more uncertainty. On the whole, this year's top five players can be regarded as a melee, but the outstanding Hugo has received too much recognition in a short period of time, which in turn affected the trend of this year's awards.

The competition for the best actor in a musical comedy has gathered heavyweights such as Kim Carey, Robert De Niro, Hugh Grant, Sean Penn, etc., which seem to be star-studded, but the overall strength of the work is still slightly inferior. Competitiveness cannot be improved, and it has not been able to trigger more discussions.

The list of nominations for best actress in drama and best actress in musical comedy is even more so. The only commendable thing is that Julianne Moore relied on "Love to the End" and "Husband Failed (an. Ideal. Husband. The work won double nominations from two departmental actresses and became the biggest highlight.

On the whole, after the nomination list for the Golden Globes was hotly released, "Beautiful Mind" became the biggest hit of the awards season in one fell swoop, surpassing "Breaking Inside Story" and "Genius Ripley" to become the No. 1 seed. Lead this year's awards season. With the affirmation of the nomination for the Golden Globe Awards, the release of "Beautiful Mind" has also begun to accelerate, and box office performance and word-of-mouth trends have become the focus of attention.
