2020 Golden Globes Nomination Reaction

Golden Globes Awards是金球獎，各地傳媒都喜愛報導這獎項，原因在於這獎項是由記者協會選出，所以很多時候受歡迎的電影都會得到不少的關注。在電影界，金球獎的重要性有一定的位置，但對於Academy Awards的提名作用很有限，因為這些評審的口味與奧斯卡的評委們有些不一樣，但仍然被視為當中的一個指標，所以很多網站的奧斯卡預測在演員工會獎及金球獎後便更新其提名名單，相信經過之後的影評人協會提名公佈後，大家都會預計得到1月中的Academy Awards提名名單。提名於美國東岸時間2019年12月9日公佈，頒獎禮將於2020年1月5日隆重舉行。以下是今年的提名名單：

產地：美國 USA 英國 GBR
上映日期：16 August 2018
觀看日期：17 August 2018
片長：114 Minutes
導演：Ol Parker
演員：Lily James

觀後感：
日前參加了公司安排的課程，指導我們在輔導員工時應注意的事項，原來在過程中輔導者不應直接給對方意見，反而要在撫平情緒的情況下一起思考可行的解決方案。筆者從小到大都很喜愛聆聽其他人的經歷，因為在分享中總會有機會看到別人生命中的高低起跌，這些都有不少鼓勵作用。這齣歌舞劇界的經典作品相隔十年推出續集，在憑空創作的前提下延續角色的故事，當中更說明女主角Donna(Meryl Streep/Lily James飾）的情史。Donna過世一年後，Sophie(Amanda Seyfried飾）接手母親在希臘小島上經營的旅館，即將舉辦盛大的開幕典禮。Tanya(Christine Baranski/Jessica Keenan Wynn飾）和Rosie(Julie Walters/Alexa Davies飾）為了支持Sophie再次到訪小島，三位父親中只有Sam(Pierce Brosnan/Jeremy Irvine飾）留在島上和Sophie繼續生活，眾人不禁想起從前的往事。年輕的Donna在畢業後不甘平凡，四處遊歷享受人生，在巴黎遇上浪漫的Harry(Colin Firth/Hugh Skinner飾），一夜過後她繼續前往下一個目的地。不羈的Bill(Stellan Skarsgård/Josh Dylan飾）開船接載Donna到遠處的小島，之後Donna在風雨交加的晚上邂逅英俊的Sam，二人開心快樂的生活讓Donna曾經想過定下來，直至她發現Sam原來已經早就跟別人訂婚了，她在不想當第三者的理性下決定放手。後來她發現自己懷孕便索性留在島嶼上生活，獨自把生命中最重要的女兒Sophie撫養成人。經過一連串事件後，酒店終於準備好重新開幕，Harry、Bill、Sky(Dominic Cooper飾）和Sophie的外婆Ruby(Cher飾）成功趕及參與，同時慶祝Sophie懷有身孕的好消息。

Lily James是一名英國的女演員，出道幾年時間已經憑著迪士尼經典角色灰姑娘讓觀眾認識，她並沒有因此將事業發展的重心轉至美國，反而藉此累積不同的演出經驗。近年她有機會參與較有水準的製作，作品包括Baby Driver、Darkest Hour及Sorry to Bother You。今次她的角色是Meryl Streep的年輕版，相信對她也有一定的壓力，但是她的演出證明了她過去的心機及付出並沒有白費。筆者本來對她的期望不高，畢竟電影的商業性質較重，而她的表演令很多觀眾重新認識這位演員，在唱歌及感情方面的發揮都十分出色，應該會是新一代中的明日之星。她的下一部推介是Rebecca，她的角色是活在丈夫前妻影子裡的一名女子，看來發揮的部分是足夠的，期待她在電影中會有與別不同的表現。

電影籌備了一段頗長的時間，但由於本來的故事是沒有後續的，於是要等待劇本出世後才能討論選角的部分，對觀眾而言原班人馬的參與是加分的，筆者當然希望Meryl Streep的戲份可以重一點。今次較搶眼的是年輕一輩的演員們，看得出他們很享受整個拍攝過程，豐富了電影的娛樂性，而Amanda Seyfried的表現有很大的進步，筆者認為她有很好的發展空間。電影的音樂作品雖然沒有上集歌曲的號召力，但仍有助劇情的描述及連接，歌舞場面跟上集相比沒有驚喜，整體效果未能為電影加分。面對著身邊不同方面所帶來的壓力，我們需要定時找人傾訴，在分享自己感受的同時，也可能從中有不少得著，對我們來說有很好的參考價值。生命是非常重要的，大家千萬不要動輒便產生輕生的念頭，只有生存才能繼續走下去。

維尼與我 Christopher Robin (2018)

電影名稱：維尼與我 Christopher Robin
產地：美國 USA
上映日期：2 August 2018
觀看日期：12 August 2018
片長：104 Minutes
導演：Marc Forster
演員：Ewan McGregor

觀後感：
大家好，筆者已經有很久的時間沒有更新網誌，早幾年當筆者看到正在追蹤的電影網誌更新速度變慢，會有一種悶悶不樂的感覺，到了現在終於明白長大後繁忙的生活會令我們無奈地改變不少的習慣。今次要介紹的電影很值得看，它提醒了我們不應該忘記初心，儘管世界原來不像預期一樣。這齣內地屬禁片的溫馨小品以著名卡通系列小熊維尼與一眾好友作賣點，講述他們來到現實世界尋找迷失自我的Christopher Robin(Ewan McGregor飾）。早熟的Robin過著普通人的生活，拚命工作的他無法平衡家庭生活，維尼熊等朋友的出現帶給他一些美好的回憶，並得到這群兒時好友的支持，因而在工作及家庭中得到不錯的突破，Robin一家人和維尼好友們在彼此的陪伴下繼續生活。

Ewan McGregor是一名蘇格蘭男演員，他在大概二十年前已經和不少影視紅星合作過，只是多次角色的發揮都被比下去。在筆者的印象中，他是一個很稱職的配角，代表作有Being Human、Trainspotting及Moulin Rouge!。這次獨擔大旗的他表現達到水準，只是沒有給觀眾很大的驚喜，有點浪費掉難得主演的機會。他在各個界別累積了不少的演出經驗，但在電影界總是無法取得應有的突破，期望他日後可以加強自己和角色的聯繫，令觀眾能夠感受他應有的演技爆發力。他的下一部推介是Doctor Sleep，電影是經典作品The Shining的關聯作，他飾演保護身陷險境的男主角，感覺上角色的發揮也蠻大，恐怖片的愛好者應該會喜歡。

電影屬於迪士尼真人版電影系列的作品之一，沒有固定的公主角色，換來的是一班十分熟悉並陪伴著大家成長的卡通角色，相對的迴響較少。作品的格調較含蓄寫實，談論到人在成長後所面對的難題中帶給的無奈，不知不覺地遺忘了年輕時的純真。電影的演員並不是當中的賣點，背後的意義才是最突出的部分。筆者認為此電影的整體效果跟Paddington系列差不多，只是這部作品比較發人深省，讓觀眾在觀影後會心微笑，很容易得到了共鳴。無論我們處於甚麼位置，都需要為自己的立場而堅持；即使表達的方式未必跟大眾一樣，或會受到其他有心人的批評和影響，但最重要的是勿忘初衷，因為主動放棄就等於將機會拱手讓人，到後果出現的時候就後悔莫及了。

評分：
故事：32/50
演員：23/35

與神同行：終極審判 Along with the Gods: The Last 49 Days (2018)

電影名稱：與神同行：終極審判 Along with the Gods: The Last 49 Days
產地：南韓 KOR
上映日期：9 August 2018
觀看日期：4 August 2018
片長：142 Minutes
導演：金容華
演員：朱智勛

觀後感：
最近演藝圈發生了很多事情，韓國明星的偷拍風波比起當年陳冠希事件引起更大的關注及迴響，而香港藝人的出軌新聞也不惶多讓，很多網友聲援自己支持的偶像。先不要說筆者對事件的立場，藝人的私隱問題更值得社會的注視及探討；身為公眾人物的他們被公眾期望樹立良好的榜樣，雖說他們可以選擇繼續以自己的方式過活，但一切以形象為首的演藝圈卻限制了藝人們的自由，他們為了事業發展需要帶上觀眾喜愛的面具，漸漸便會失去了真正的自己。《與神同行》系列在一年內上映兩集，今次死後被審判的概念已經不再新穎，而三位主角的身世則變成續集的重點。今集三位陰間使者須輔助第四十九名貴人金秀鴻（金東旭飾）進行審判，閻羅王（李政宰飾）要求他們將陽壽已盡的許伯伯帶到陰間作交換條件。江林（河正宇飾）吩咐解怨脈（朱智勛飾）和李德春（金香起飾）負責陽間的任務，自己則替金秀鴻在各個審判關卡作辯護。解怨脈和李德春發現許伯伯因得到成造神（馬東石飾）的守護而避過命中註定的轉世，他們經情商後得知成造神的苦衷，於是同意等到伯伯的孫子上了小學後才履行職務。成造神向二人透露自己是當年的陰間使者，並說出江林和他們二人之間的恩怨情仇，因此他們二人死後被消除記憶。當年江林目睹自己的父親在戰場中受重傷，因嫉妒心重而見死不救，在死後獲得閻羅王給予成為陰間使者的機會，並在知道真相的情況下，帶領解怨脈和李德春同行，努力完成艱巨任務以換得轉世。知道真相的三人讓金秀鴻成功通過審判，而他們選擇冰釋前嫌並繼續留任陰間使者，結伴為已故的貴人完成轉世前的審判。

朱智勛是一名韓國男藝人，從模特兒事業轉型至演戲，電視劇的演出令他累積高人氣，可惜他因個人行為獲判緩刑及社會服務令，深切反省的他在退伍後重新出發，積極發展演藝事業，參演這個系列後重拾人氣，更在去年獲得不少獎項的肯定，他的代表作有《我是王》、《阿修羅》及《北風》。他在電影中的造型比較時尚，角色的幽默性格十分討好，這一集他還要飾演嚴肅深沉的前世大將軍，算是比起上次更有挑戰性。他的演出沒有河正宇那樣立體及發揮性，不過也做盡了配角應有的水準，成功豐富了電影系列的內容及追看性。他現在的腳步再次回到電視圈，相信他可以在事業的起步點找回對的感覺，努力地演出每一個角色報答觀眾的支持。

電影的模式跟上一集很相似，都是三位主角幫忙一位貴人進行死後的審判，結尾時又會獲派一位新的貴人，仿彿為了續集作出鋪墊。不過這一次並沒有第一集上映時熱烈的反應，包括筆者在內的觀眾們也是抱著追看結局的心態進場，相信第三集出現的機會不大。演員們跟上次的演出差不多，新加入的馬東石有驚喜但未見突出，整體來說已經符合電影的所需。電影最值得留意的是媲美外國製作的電影效果，團隊很精細地設計出一個虛擬的世界，亞洲地區的電影製作應參考這個系列高水平的科幻效果。筆者以觀眾的角度看出軌事件，當事人在行動時的不負責任實在令大眾震驚，他們的關係不被道德觀接納也是意料中事；但說到底我們只是旁觀者，事情的發展也應由局中人來解決，我們也只是看看就好。過多的意見對事情並沒有幫助，反而這件事能啟發我們思考一下，假如這些問題發生在自己身上，是否真的可以當機立斷地處理，放下多年來付出的感情？

觀後感：
清明節對很多都市人的意義可能只是多了一天假期而已，但有時候我們也會因為節日氣氛而想起一些已故的親人。筆者近日重拾閱讀小說的習慣，在剛完成的故事中有所得著，提醒了我們應怎樣將有限的時間用得其所，這種議題也沒有絕對的答案。筆者認為家人這一塊是值得我們花時間去經營的，互相的支持是力量的重要來源。這齣動畫電影在超級英雄的題材上，還探討了家庭在生活的重要性。故事延續上一集的劇情，Incredibles和Frozone未能阻止壞人作奸犯科，但卻在對戰中為社會帶來嚴重的破壞，超級英雄從此在世界上失去位置；Mr. Incredible和Elastigirl接獲商人Winston Deavor的邀請，在妹妹Evelyn的幫助下拍攝超級英雄們的英勇事蹟，讓他們在世界上重振聲威。Elastigirl成為被選中的頭號代表，因此Mr. Incredible需要負擔照顧家庭的重任，沒有經驗的他顯得手足無措，只好拜託救兵們的協助；Elastigirl成功拘捕一名以電視催眠他人的惡魔Screenslaver，於是Winston邀請世界領袖到他的遊艇參與超級英雄合法令的簽署儀式。Elastigirl發現Evelyn才是Screenslaver的幕後黑手，並受到眼鏡的電波操控，協助她完成破壞超級英雄名譽的計劃。成年的超級英雄在幾位孩童的誤打誤撞下變回清醒，共同阻止遊艇撞向岸邊的城市，最後Evelyn事敗被捕，超級英雄們也恢復應有的身份。

筆者沒有看過電影的上一集，筆者記得當年上映時很受歡迎，超級英雄並未算普及，得到的評價一面倒地正面。相隔十多年的時間，題材已變得較普通，但起碼加插一些教育意義，讓觀眾會有所思考。角色的設定並沒有太大的驚喜，Edna Mode是較有趣的新角色，帶給觀眾不少的歡樂。電影的效果需要用到閃光表示角色快速移動的異能，原來這項效果曾經在美國引起討論，因為該效果可以為眼睛帶來傷害，幸好後來電影院線配合貼出告示，化解了這場不可忽視的公關災難。趁著假期時間，大家不妨安排一些家庭活動，了解一下彼此的近況，享受現實世界所帶來的美好。

筆者有一段日子沒有在這裡發表關於電影的觀後感，去年底在個人及工作上發生了很多難忘的事情，令筆者無有太多空餘的時間兼顧網誌的經營，但卻沒有暫停欣賞有興趣的電影作品，在介紹這齣電影之前，筆者想分享一下這半年來的體驗。筆者在去年的下半年因工作崗位調整後接觸了一個原本不願意嘗試的行業，當中學會了前所未有的知識及技巧，也發掘了自己一些潛在的能力；家人的健康出現了不太好的狀況，在陪伴友持的同時，也經歷了時間管理的考驗，盡量滿足不同方面的需要，於是無奈地犧牲了寫作的興趣。新的一年終於來臨，家人在治療期間逐漸好轉，接受新工作挑戰的筆者決定要重新出發，開始撰寫長年堆積下來的觀後感，回歸之作就是著名漫畫電影系列的作品。電影繼承了前作的時空，Scott Lang/Ant-Man(Paul Rudd飾)在英雄內戰後須遵守軟禁令，曾經身處量子領域的他感應到Janet van Dyne(Michelle Pfeiffer飾)的訊息，於是他通知Janet的丈夫Hank Pym(Michael Douglas飾)和女兒Hope van Dyne/Wasp(Evangeline Lilly飾)。Pym和Hope協助Lang逃離FBI的追捕，並積極實行返回量子領域拯救Janet的計劃。他們在採購硬件時被神秘人襲擊，尋求Pym的舊拍檔Bill Foster(Laurence Fishburne飾)的庇護，神秘人捉拿三人後表明身份；她是Ava Starr/Ghost(Hannah John-Kamen飾)，希望可以使用量子能量修復她身體分子不穩的問題，Pym生怕Janet因此犧牲而拒絕幫忙。經過FBI及黑幫的一番阻撓下，Lang和Hope成功拖延時間，讓Pym進入量子領域並將Janet帶回人類世界。Janet以自身部分的量子能量暫緩Starr的不穩定性。Lang終於有驚無險地完成軟禁令的刑期，Pym一家和他打算繼續從量子領域採取能量協助Starr；當Lang進入領域後，三人Avengers: Infinity War的發展而被分解，Ant-Man也成為Avengers: Endgame的關鍵人物。

Paul Rudd是一名美國男演員，他讀書時期已經對演戲產生興趣，畢業後開始演出電視劇累積經驗，後來在電影圈殺出一條血路，擔正多部商業性質的喜劇片。打開知名度的他參與作品的創作，最終成為其中一位Marvel世界的英雄，他的代表作有Clueless、The 40-Year-Old Virgin及The Perks of Being a Wallflower。他在電影中保持搞笑的作風，配合系列電影的輕鬆氣氛，據說他當初為了此角色努力操練自己的體格，筆者很佩服他對事業的重視及前瞻性；他的角色並不需要過多的演技表演，喜感較高的他十分符合角色的定位，發揮的效果也沒有讓觀眾失望。他的下一部推介是Avengers: Endgame，外間一直瘋傳他將會在這一集佔重要的位置，筆者也很期待角色所帶來的突破。

電影雖然是Ant-Man的續集，但故事主要用作介紹Wasp出場及連接Avengers: Endgame的發展，筆者認為內容較同系列作品相對不夠豐富，坦言有點失望而回；筆者沒有看過蟻俠的第一集，不過也沒有影響對電影的理解，導演的功夫也沒有增加電影應有的緊湊性。兩位主角的互動就像一對愛鬥嘴的好朋友，精彩的脣槍舌劍加上Wasp父母的深情演繹，是電影較可取的部分。電影的視效維持一貫水準，動作特技方面仍有進步的空間，簡單來說這並不是一齣主打動作的英雄電影。筆者希望日後能抽空追趕寫網誌的進度，文章裡頭並不是甚麼真知灼見，還望各位繼續多多包容，謝謝大家！

2019 Academy Awards Full List Final Prediction and Will/Should Win Plus Deliberations (For Some Awards)

Stay tune for the Academy Awards on 5 March to see who is going to win big that day!! Here are my final predictions.

BEST PICTURE
Black Panther
BlacKkKlansman
Bohemian Rhapsody
The Favourite
Green Book
Roma
A Star Is Born
Vice
Will Win: Roma
Could Win: The Favourite
Should Win: Roma
Personal Favorite: The Favourite
Deliberation: Roma is the frontrunner after uncountable wins in precursors. The style and message is a great breakthrough in modern world. BlacKkKlansman and Green Book discuss racial and sexuality problems in the US. They are unlikely to win this time as the latest Best Picture winners are similar in themes. The Favourite is one of the best comedies of decades with palace setting. It is expected to get some votes from British brigades of voters.Black Panther is the first picture from Marvel universe getting nominated for the biggest prize. Out of the eight nominees this year, I have watched three of them (not including BlacKkKlansman, Bohemian Rhapsody, The Favourite, Roma and Vice).

BEST ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE
Christian Bale, Vice
Bradley Cooper, A Star Is Born
Willem Dafoe, At Eternity's Gate
Rami Malek, Bohemian Rhapsody
Viggo Mortensen, Green Book
Will Win: Rami Malek, Bohemian Rhapsody
Could Win: Christian Bale, Vice
Should Win: Rami Malek, Bohemian Rhapsody
Personal Favorite: Viggo Mortensen, Green Book
Deliberation: Christian Bale should have this in the bag if the voters can stand on his side. Rami Malek gains a lot of support from the audience and critics for his portrayal of legendary musician Freddie Mercury. His path is like Eddie Redmayne from The Theory of Everything in 2015. Willem Dafoe also performs very well but he seems not going to win on Sunday night. Out of the five nominees, I have watched two of their performances (not including Christian Bale, Willem Dafoe and Rami Malek).

BEST ACTRESS IN A LEADING ROLE
Yalitza Aparicio, Roma
Glenn Close, The Wife
Olivia Colman, The Favourite
Lady Gaga, A Star Is Born
Melissa McCarthy, Can You Ever Forgive Me?
Will Win: Glenn Close, The Wife
Could Win: Olivia Colman, The Favourite
Should Win: Lady Gaga, A Star Is Born
Personal Favorite: Lady Gaga, A Star Is Born
Deliberation: Glenn Close win be crowned as the overdue status is too strong to overcome. The case is a repetition of Julianne Moore's victory for Still Alice in 2015. Some may argue the role of Olivia Colman is not very appropriate to be classified as leading performance. I hope that she can surprise us on Sunday night. Lady Gaga has an excellent demonstration of musician transforming to actor in a successful way. Her devotion deserves the highest recognition of the night. Out of the five nominees, I have watched one of their performances (not including Yalitza Aparicio, Glenn Close, Olivia Colman and Melissa McCarthy).

BEST ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Mahershala Ali, Green Book
Adam Driver, BlacKkKlansman
Sam Elliott, A Star Is Born
Richard E. Grant, Can You Ever Forgive Me?
Sam Rockwell, Vice
Will Win: Mahershala Ali, Green Book
Could Win: Richard E. Grant, Can You Ever Forgive Me?
Should Win: Mahershala Ali, Green Book
Personal Favorite: Mahershala Ali, Green Book
Deliberation: Mahershala Ali should be able to make history. His show in the movie is spectacular and impressive. In my opinion, some of the nominees should be replaced by those are snubbed as the performance is generally not very outstanding. This may hint us the voters' preference on the picture race. If any upset happens, Richard E. Grant should be the spoiler. Out of the five nominees, I have watched two of their performance (not including Adam Driver, Richard E. Grant and Sam Rockwell).

BEST ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Amy Adams, Vice
Marina de Tavira, Roma
Regina King, If Beale Street Could Talk
Emma Stone, The Favourite
Rachel Weisz, The Favourite
Will Win: Rachel Weisz, The Favourite
Could Win: Regina King, If Beale Street Could Talk
Should Win: Regina King, If Beale Street Could Talk
Personal Favorite: Amy Adams, Vice
Deliberation: The race for this category is an unsure bet since the award indicators are not in the same direction. When it comes to chances, the statue will either belong to Regina King or Rachel Weisz. Even though both of them did win some major awards, the former is threatened due to lacking nominations from BAFTA and SAG. The answer will only prevail at the last moment. Amy Adams is not going to win this time probably and I really want to see her win anytime in the future. Out of the five nominees, I have watched none of their performances.

BEST ANIMATED FEATURE FILM
Incredibles 2
Isle of Dogs
Mirai
Ralph Breaks the Internet
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
Will Win: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
Could Win: Incredibles 2
Should Win: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
Personal Favorite: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
Deliberation: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is very popular in the public and the industry. The innovation from the feature is out of the box and can break the domination of Disney Animation for consecutive win in years. Isle of Dogs is also an interesting project. Japanese animated feature seems to become a sure bet for nomination. Out of the five nominees, I have watched three of them (not including Isle of Dogs and Mirai).

BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY
Łukasz Żal, Cold War
Robbie Ryan, The Favourite
Caleb Deschanel, Never Look Away
Alfonso Cuarón, Roma
Matthew Libatique, A Star Is Born
Will Win: Alfonso Cuarón, Roma
Could Win: Łukasz Żal, Cold War
Should Win: Alfonso Cuarón, Roma
Personal Favorite: Alfonso Cuarón, Roma

BEST COSTUME DESIGN
Mary Zophres, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
Ruth Carter, Black Panther
Sandy Powell, The Favourite
Sandy Powell, Mary Poppins Returns
Alexandra Byrne, Mary Queen of Scots
Will Win: Sandy Powell, The Favourite
Could Win: Ruth Carter, Black Panther
Should Win: Ruth Carter, Black Panther
Personal Favorite: Ruth Carter, Black Panther

BEST DIRECTING
Spike Lee, BlacKkKlansman
Paweł Pawlikowski, Cold War
Yorgos Lanthimos, The Favourite
Alfonso Cuarón, Roma
Adam McKay, Vice
Will Win: Alfonso Cuarón, Roma
Could Win: Yorgos Lanthimos, The Favourite
Should Win: Alfonso Cuarón, Roma
Personal Favorite: Alfonso Cuarón, Roma
Deliberation: Alfonso Cuarón brings us a new cinematic experience to tell his own story. He deserves to win his second award for directing. Yorgos Lanthimos is also renowned for his features to discuss special topics. It is a big surprise to have Paweł Pawlikowski be included with Bradley Cooper out of the game. The foreign picture may have chances to shine. Out of the five nominees, I have watched none of their performances.
