2022 Golden Globes Nomination

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2021年12月13日公佈，頒獎禮將於2022年1月9日隆重舉行。以下是今年的提名名單：

媽媽的神奇小子 Zero to Hero (2021)

電影名稱：媽媽的神奇小子 Zero to Hero
產地：香港 HKG
上映日期：12 August 2021
觀看日期：4 September 2021
片長：103 Minutes
導演：尹志文
演員：吳君如

觀後感：
大家好，筆者已有三年時間沒有發表過完整篇幅的觀後感。有別於以前的模式，日後筆者在時間許可的情況下，向大家介紹不同類型的電影。我們在不同的人生階段中都會碰到「夢想與現實」這個議題，如何在兩者中作出選擇視乎當事人的心態而定。早前一個幫助藝人轉運的綜藝節目中，歌手J. Arie講述自己為了實現做音樂的夢想而放棄其他方向的發展，即使在演藝圈的發展一直浮浮沉沉仍不肯放棄。筆者一向都有關注她的音樂作品，歌藝不俗的她欠缺時機及運氣的幫助，令她的音樂路走得更崎嶇。隨著殘奧會的舉行及社會對運動員的關注增加，這次要介紹的電影成功吸引到不少觀眾入場支持，讓我們對殘障運動員的經歷多了一點的了解。蘇媽韓小貞(吳君如飾)誕下蘇樺偉(蔡天諾飾)後，發現他因黃疸病導致腦部受損，並患有弱聽及四肢痙攣。儘管如此，蘇媽沒有埋怨兒子的存在，更含辛茹苦地訓練偉仔以應付日常的生活。偉仔(馮皓揚飾)在年青時跑步的天賦讓他入選香港殘障人士田徑隊，在得到教練方Sir(張繼聰飾)及眾隊友(胡子彤、楊偉倫及麥沛東飾)的支持下，成功奪得第一面殘奧會的金牌。偉仔在之後的殘奧會同樣奪得驕人的成績，但政府提供的支援相當有限，偉仔(梁仲恆飾)在無可奈何的情況下放棄繼續訓練的機會，投身社會以幫補家計。蘇媽不忍偉仔浪費跑步的天賦，主動替偉仔接下不少的廣告拍攝工作，以換取足夠的經費支持偉仔於2008年參加北京殘奧會。憑著蘇媽的支持，偉仔最後以一面金牌為其運動員生涯劃上圓滿的句點。

吳君如是一名香港女演員，其搞笑的演出深入民心，近年主力在電影圈發展，並身兼導演及監製的工作。她演出的電影作品膾炙人口，並曾經獲得不少獎項的肯定，當中包括《古惑仔情義篇之洪興十三妹》、《金雞》系列及《歲月神偷》。她能夠演繹出蘇媽在兒子成長歷程中所產生的各種情感，與各位對手起了很好的化學作用，從而帶動劇情的發展及強調電影的主題。筆者認為吳君如是次的演出比起《歲月神偷》來得更細膩到位，再一次突破自己過往的發揮，相信有力問鼎今後電影獎項的最佳女主角。她的下一部演出是《闔家辣》，這齣電影是明年的賀歲片，群戲演出加上喜劇的表演對她而言不算是很大的挑戰，人氣偶像的參與亦提升了觀眾對電影的期待，希望電影也因而獲得不錯的成績。

電影以香港英雄蘇樺偉的成長為主軸，同時描述蘇媽在面對抉擇時的進退兩難。這類劇情片近年成為了香港電影的另一主流，讓觀眾認識香港社會上可能被忽略的實況，從而突出了當權者的無視及高高在上。除了吳君如外，飾演少年蘇樺偉的馮皓揚有很出色的處男演出，筆者十分看好他未來的發展。此外，張繼聰和胡子彤的表現也值得各位留意。電影中滲入了不少香港情懷的元素，在表達上也沒有刻意將殘疾人士描繪成需被特別照顧的一群，提醒我們任何人都可以為自己的夢想而奮鬥，這份感動來得自然及真實。追夢是一件很值得鼓勵的事，但當中其實也牽涉不同方面的考量或取捨，但願筆者可以找到那份一直以來欠缺的勇氣，在未來的日子實踐夢想。

評分：
故事：45/50
演員：31/35
效果：14/15
總分：90/10
