Gurus Guesstimate Globes

A step sideways from the business of Oscar to what may come from the upcoming closed-bar rendition of the Golden Globes. The Gurus were gracious enough to dip, however momentarily, into the muddied waters of the HFPA’s annual shindig. Hoping to read the capricious minds of fewer than hundred semi-anonymous voters may be a perilous task (especially compared to the factors to weight from the ten thousand or so members of the industry who belong to the Academy). The choices by the Gurus suit the history of what the organization has bestowed in years past, leaving the likes of James Corden a mere “Golden Globe Nominee” for the resume. Sunday’s coming: we await the haphazard commentary of co-hosts Amy Poehler and Tina Fey and to see whether Lin-Manuel Miranda takes center stage or if Glenn Close’s Meemaw can come from behind with homely mumble-puffs of wisdom and take the Gurus to task.

The New York Times

"Netflix, the great disrupter whose algorithms and direct-to-consumer platform have forced powerful media incumbents to rethink their economic models, now seems to need a big strategy change itself. It got me thinking about the simple idea that my film and TV production company Blumhouse is built on: If you give artists a lot of creative freedom and a little money upfront but a big stake in the movie’s or TV show’s commercial success, more often than not the result will be both commercial (the filmmakers are incentivized to make films that will resonate with audiences) and artistically interesting (creative freedom!). This approach has yielded movies as varied as Get Out (made for $4.5 million, with worldwide box office receipts of more than $250 million), Whiplash (made for $3.3 million, winner of three Academy Awards), The Invisible Man (made for $7 million, earned more than $140 million) and Paranormal Activity (made for $15,000, grossed more than $190 million).From the beginning, the most important strategy I used to persuade artists to work with me was to make radically transparent deals: We usually paid the artists (“participants” in Hollywood lingo) the absolute minimum allowable by union contracts upfront, with the promise of healthy bonuses based on actual box office results—instead of the opaque 'percentage points' that artists are usually offered. Anyone can see box office results immediately, so creators don’t quarrel with the payouts. In fact, when it comes time for an artist to collect a bonus based on box office receipts, I email a video clip of myself dropping the check off at FedEx to the recipient."
