Verso la notte degli Oscar dopo i Golden Globe – nominations & winners.

Cari lettori, oggi parliamo di cinema. In particolare dei premi del mondo del cinema, i più importanti e accreditati: gli Academy Award, comunemente conosciuti come “Oscar“, e i Golden Globe, assegnati rispettivamente dalla A.M.P.A.S. (Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences) e dalla HFPA (Hollywood Foreign Press Association).

Come da tradizione, i Golden Globe vengono assegnati quasi due mesi prima degli Oscar. Per questo, si è sempre guardato ad essi come a degli anticipatori dei verdetti dell’Academy.

Va segnalata però quest’anno una sottile polemica intercorsa tra i fautori e componenti della giuria dei Golden Globe e i loro corrispettivi dell’Academy;

polemica evidentemente sulle scelte fatte in materia di film e attori insigniti delle nomination, che si è percepita, con battute salaci e ironia mordace, anche durante la 68° cerimonia di assegnazione dei Golden Globe 2011, tenutasi il 16 gennaio scorso al “Beverly Hilton Hotel” di Beverly Hills, in California (le nomination erano state annunciate il 14 dicembre 2010).

Sostanzialmente, la HFPA (di cui sopra) ha fatto intendere che d’ora in poi le loro scelte e criteri di assegnazione dei Golden Globepiù libere e indipendenti rispetto a quelle dell’Academy, sciolte da ogni “vincolo”, per così dire, di affinità d’intenti con essa, perdendo quindi quella sorta di “funzione anticipatrice” degli Oscar che finora gli è stata sempre implicitamente attribuita: un deciso cambio di rotta, insomma, che ha portato a una notevole diversificazione nelle scelte fatte per i Golden Globe, visibile già dalle candidature di quest’ultima edizione.
