I'm guessing that Fox Studios probably sent a lovely fruit basket to Lionsgate to thank them for turning her into an A-lister. :v:

They had to work out a deal when making DoFP because they both wanted to film their mega franchises starring Jennifer Lawrence at the same time.

I moved to LA 12 years ago and before that I didn't give a gently caress about the Oscars. However, it drives the industry. Golden Globe noms, like Oscar noms, get you hired. They're important. I like Crispin Glover, for instance. If he was ever nominated for an Oscar, rather than a Saturn, his career would be better, he'd have better roles and better opportunities to demonstrate his abilities with better surrounding talent, despite being a pain in the rear end. They're important.

i like the time The Tourist got nominated for a bunch of golden globes

Yeah, i'm glad he wasn't commenting in a light-hearted fashion about how a famous actress is attractive that would have been creepy and gross, icky stuff.

Anyway the movie looks alright but i'm not sure i'm convinced by Sophie Turner as Jean Grey.

Huh, that looks likes Will Smith's Hancock but with just the fun stuff from the first half and none of the lovely stuff from the third act.

Of course there's no way of telling from the trailer whether they manage to maintain the mood or tail off into Hancock shittiness as well ...

God I hope it doesn't. Hancock was such a great premise for a movie, the idea of a dickhole lazy superman that the public was sick of was such a good story idea, then the movie just turned into complete poo poo so fast.

Golden Globes are important because they're a barometer for how Oscar voting is likely to go. That's the only reason people immediately jump on GG noms in advertising.

And sorry, not trying to start an argument.

FWIW, two points. First, she was nominated for Comedy Actress. Second, her film, Joy, has been getting mixed reviews, to the point there's some doubt she will be nominated.

Is there a thread about film awards?? I nearly sidetracked some other thread with a discussion about the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award the other day. (I highly suspect it's the Academy's "Holy poo poo why haven't we given this guy more Oscars quick throw some award at him so we don't look like idiots" consolation prize but I'm really no expert on that side of things)

I've seen Joy several times, it wouldn't surprise me if it got snubbed at the Oscars. The movie is uneven, it is kind of a misfire. Not bad in any way, it just doesn't have the magic.

It was actually a huge pain in the rear end for Lionsgate because Fox had her fully under contract -- she and Fassbender both signed three-movie deals for First Class, and then they both exploded in popularity while the movie was filming. I figure Lawrence keeps getting bigger roles in the X-Men movies to keep her happy.

I try to eliminate that moment in every trailer/TV spot I work on and it keeps getting worked back in. Apparently it resonates with adult females based on testing but it isn't really what the movie is about.
