190 movie network feature Did you brush Weibo every day recently, and see a movie sweeping over a dozen awards and becoming a big winner? Or is there another award that is a big surprise?Many people may have seen these faces more recently than in previous years.
That’s because at the end of the year, the film circle will also start the "year-end summary". This is what we usually call the award season. In layman’s terms, it is the annual meeting or tail tooth of the film industry.
What is hollywood awards season?
From the end of each year to the beginning of the second year, the results of major film awards in North America are announced one by one. Different awards are given every day, and this situation has been going on for more than three months.
During this period, how frequently are awards given? For example, casey affleck, who won the Oscar for Best Actor last year, once set a new record by winning seven Best Actors in one day.
These three months are a concentrated assessment of the film circle, starting with the Gotham Independent Film Award in November and ending with the Academy Awards in late February and early March, which is what we call hollywood awards season.
What awards are there in hollywood awards season?
The awards awarded by hollywood awards season can be basically divided into the following categories: the first category is awards awarded by the media or film critics; The second category is selected by film-related practitioners; There are also some, which aim at a relatively single field, but are more detailed and professional.
1、Film Critics Association Award
During the award season, the Film Critics Association covered every city in the United States, but the most important ones were Los Angeles, new york and Boston, which selected the awards with higher weight. Actually, if you think about it, it’s the same in China. There will be similar organizations in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places, and the films they selected will have their own artistic considerations and regional habits.
The location of the Los Angeles Film Critics Association is exactly where the Oscars are held, and its personnel composition accounts for a large proportion of the Oscar voting groups. The taste of the New York Film Critics Association is more advanced, encouraging the vanguard, and the selected results are bolder. The taste of the Boston Film Critics Association is even more special, and foreign language films are favored here.
In addition, some cities also have online film critics association awards. They are composed of a group of film critics who are active on the Internet. Among them, the winners selected by the New York Online Film Critics Association usually have different results from the Oscars, but the situation has changed in recent years.
In addition to these, the United States has also established the Women Film Critics Association, the African American Film Critics Association and the Black Film Critics Association.
The Black Film Critics Association was independent from the African-American Film Critics Association in 2010, because some members couldn’t stand the fact that some people ignored other films and the overall actual level in order to praise the works of African-American filmmakers. This year, the African American and Black Film Critics Association awarded the best film to and respectively.
Of course, there is also the most important association award, that is, the Radio and Film Critics Association Award, which has now been renamed the Critics’ Choice Award. At one time, its weight was higher than the Golden Globe Award, and the results of important awards coincided with the Oscar. This year’s critics’ choice award went to the best film.
2、Trade union award
Trade union awards are awards from different professions selected by Hollywood film and television industry practitioners, including producers’ trade union award, directors’ trade union award, Screen Actors Guild Awards, writers’ trade union award, editing trade union award, etc., covering a single award awarded by Oscar. Among them, producer, director and Screen Actors Guild Awards have great influence on the final result of Oscar.
3、Professional awards
There are some professional awards in the award season, such as Animated Annie Award. It is the Oscar of animation, and its awards are detailed in various fields such as role production, role design, visual effects and dubbing. This year, 11 awards swept the Annie Award, which can be said to have won the Oscar for best animated feature film ahead of schedule.
In addition, there are special awards for independent films — — Gotham Independent Film Award and independent spirit awards. The Gotham Independent Film Award was founded by the Independent Film Producers Association in 1991, and its importance is second only to Sundance Film Festival at the beginning of each year. Most of the winning films are director’s first films, and they have not been shown in theaters on a large scale.
The independent spirit awards is held every year on the day before the Oscar is announced, and it is also a very important award in independent films, aiming at encouraging independent filmmakers’s creation. In this year’s awards season, "Please Call Me by Your Name" and Lady Bird’s "Escape from Breaking Town" are all independent films, and they have also won some awards in these two important independent films.
4、Media reporter award
During the award season, there are two awards selected and awarded by journalists, namely the Golden Globe Award and the Golden Satellite Award. The Golden Globe Award was founded by hollywood foreign press association and its members are journalists from outside North America. They set up the award in 1943, and only need to publish four paid articles every year to become one of them.
There have been many inconsistencies between the results of the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars, which are considered to deviate from the role of the weather vane. However, the Golden Globe awards are often accurate in predicting the Oscar in terms of actors. In addition, more than 7,000 members voted for the Oscar, and only 90 journalists voted for the Golden Globe, so it is inevitable that the results will be inconsistent.
The Golden Satellite Award, known as the "Golden Ball Award", was founded in 1996 by a non-American journalist organization in hollywood foreign press association. The Golden Satellite Award, like the Golden Globe Award, covers the fields of film and television, and there are also some awards for new media.
5、Other awards
In addition to the above, in recent years, there are some awards from non-North America that have had an important predictive and guiding effect on the Oscar, and are also counted in the award season that we often say. The British Film Academy Award is the most famous one.
The British Film Academy Award in London belongs to the British Academy Award, and most of the results in recent years are consistent with the Oscars. The British Film Academy Award biosca pays more attention to some unpopular films, and even has a certain influence on the results of the Oscar. Previously, many Chinese also nominated for the British Film Academy Award.
In addition, the awards of british independent film awards and London Film Critics Association belong to the awards season. Although british independent film awards honors outstanding local independent films, there are often Oscar-winning films. For example, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri won many nominations this year.
