Chapter 790 Industry Secrets
There are quite a lot of people working in the film industry, but only more than 7,000 people meet the Oscar judges' standards, including more than 1,000 directors, more than 400 screenwriters, and other people from all walks of life.
From casting directors, producers, photographers, and sound effects artists, all of which are involved in the movie will appear in the judges!
To put it bluntly, the Oscar is an industry award. Whoever likes in the entire industry is highly popular, and whoever can get the highest admiration will be chosen. Therefore, public relations are more popular. It is not something that can be chosen by just looking at a few white old men and old ladies.
Because Lin Han won the Oscar this year, he can join without anyone recommending it, otherwise he would have to wait slowly like the rest of the people.
How long has Xu Jiayan become famous? He was the best actor in Cannes ten years ago. If he hadn't starred in "The Mars Rescue" and "The Matrix", which were famous in Hollywood, had been nominated for mainstream American awards, otherwise he would not have been given the qualification!
After all, there are more actors in the three major European film festivals around the world, and not everyone can become a judge of the Oscars.
The Oscars' voting rules are very clear and standardized. Although there have been parallel-level actresses like "Shapes' Love History", it does not hinder its fairness!
Simply put, the judges vote in two stages. During the nomination stage, all the college members are eligible to vote for the best film nomination. The college members, that is, the Oscar judges, will join the School of Film Arts and Sciences.
Among other awards, nominees can only be voted by members of the college working in the department!
To give a simple example, during the nomination process, Xu Jiayan joined the academy as an actor. He could cast votes in five units, namely the male lead, male lead, female lead, female lead, and best film.
When Lin Han voted, he could only vote for the director and the best film, and could not vote for the actors and actresses!
Of course, this is just the nomination stage. Because the nomination list is all selected by the actors, it depends on real money acting skills.
This is why nominations depend on strength, while winning awards depends on luck!
When the nomination list comes out, all members have the right to vote, so the winners of the award will be much more suspenseful. They are no longer just an internal choice in the industry, but a representative of practitioners in the entire film industry.
Of course, there are exceptions, such as documentaries, live-action short films, animated short films and foreign language films, voting must be watched by judges before voting. These awards cannot be born through mail-in ballots.
The judges must go to the movie designated screenings in the cinema and watch the nominated movies, and then vote on the cinema.
Judging from the situation of each vote, everyone basically voted for eight major awards, such as Best Director, Best Film, Best Actor and Female Support, and Best Screenplay. Then there are more people who voted in the art category, the most people who voted in the best editing category, and the least people who voted in the best audio and visual awards in the technology category!
Many people outside the world don’t understand Oscars and have various questions.
For example: Will the judges really watch all the films that they run before voting? Will the judges compete for favors? What is the standard for the good movies in their hearts?
There are so many movies, and the judges are not watching movies full-time. Of course, there are choices. Only a few people will finish watching movies that meet the criteria. Most people watch what they like, or have good reviews and interests.
There are also a very small number of people who don’t care about Oscars at all, they don’t watch any movies, they just fill in the votes!
Don’t think this is impossible. In fact, a judge once broke the news anonymously. He received a lot of plates, but he didn’t read any of them. He just filled out the ballots based on his feelings.
It was easier to watch all the movies in the past, but now there are more and more movies, especially in the nomination stage. There are dozens of movies waiting for a single award. It is a luxury to watch them!
Some things are actually unfair for even the judges. For example, a shocking movie like Lin Han's "The Matrix", which is more suitable for the big screen of the cinema as a science fiction film.
But most of the judges see it on small screens. They watch movies through TV and computer screens. Only in the theater will it bring a unique 3D and IMAX experience. The sound and sound effects are extremely limited on small screens.
After all, Oscar judges are older and they don’t go out specifically to watch movies, so watching shortlisted movies on TV is the best choice.
Since the Oscars are chosen, their preferences must be different. For example, Lin Han participated in the nomination work of the video or their friends participated, he definitely had a preference when voting!
It is better to vote for yourself or friends than to vote for others. This is a matter of course. No one can be absolutely fair.
Even Lin Han can't guarantee that if his next movie is really nominated for the Oscar, would he be foolishly cast to his competitors?
...
Since the Oscars have given Lin Han the qualification to judge, he is embarrassed to remain silent anymore, so he synced the same sentence on Weibo, Twitter and Facebook, "Thank you for your recognition, I hope to use your actions to show that I will not be ashamed of this title, which is very honorable for me!"
Lin Han has official accounts on social media. Most of the time he updates one, and the other reprints automatically, which is more convenient.
In addition to the more than 20 million followers of Weibo, he also has more than 18 million followers on Twitter, Facebook, and instagram. It is not easy to sit behind the scenes of a worker!
However, just as the news was released, a group of keyboard warriors became sore.
"Why can Lin Hanhede participate in the Oscar selection? Is it just that he made these bad movies?"
"I learned to climb before I left. I must have bought the qualification of this judge with money!"
"It seems that the Oscar has become a pheasant award. Lin Han has never even won the director award, so he can actually participate in the selection."
"Oh, there is nothing to watch in the future. If they are all judges of this level, what good movies can they choose?"
"It's really a hehe. Being a judge can actually be on the hot search. Is Lin Han the list? He always landed first!"
"If it weren't for the Oscar's expanded recruitment judges, Lin Han would be lucky to squeeze in? He really would like to thank Oscar for his generousness. He just hopes that this place will be permanent, otherwise he will definitely be expelled."
Maybe it’s the keyboard in hand, I have it all over the world. This group of people can squirt anything they see. There is nothing they can’t scold in the sky and the ground. It’s simply a cancer of the Internet!
