The 27th Sundance Film Festival has come to an end. In the drama department, "crazy love" has become the biggest winner, while in the documentary, the "eternal God of cars" has achieved a comprehensive harvest.
In the midst of all the noise, Lan Li once again became the focus of attention. This is the fourth time in the past decade that the Sundance Film Festival has awarded special jury awards to actors.
The first three were Monique, who was "precious" in 2009, Amy Adams, who was "beetle" in 2005, Lou Taylor Pucci, who was "thumb sucker", Tom Wilkinson and sissy Spacek, who were "incoherent" in 2001.
Among the three previous winners, four received the Academy Award nomination and one won the Berlin Silver Bear award.
At the same time, it is the first time in the past decade that the festival has awarded a special jury award to an actor alone - and there are other co winners, both in 2009 and 2005.
There is no doubt that Lan Li, who has successively performed in two independent films "buried alive" and "crazy love", has become a hot figure in the independent film industry. His popularity and recognition spread rapidly with the naked eye.
People can't wait to discuss whether the birth of lanli was a flash in the pan, just like a meteor across the night sky, just shining for a moment, and then falling quickly; Or brilliant, down-to-earth slowly polished acting skills, become another well-known veteran; Or is it that when you are young and full of talent, the rising momentum is extremely fierce, raising the expectations of the society, but then you encounter a bottleneck and quickly fall silent
This is Hollywood. Anything is possible.
What's more, Vanity Fair's colorful always makes people dazzled, unconsciously lost in it, and then can't find the way back to the right track.
Lanli is only 21 years old this year. He is energetic, energetic and impulsive. It's definitely not easy for him to continue his acting career for ten years, twenty years or even longer. He will never be confused, sleepy or tired. There are countless stories of hurting Zhong Yong in Hollywood.
How hot the line of sight focused on Lan Li is, how turbulent the mixed voices of questioning, curiosity, examination, praise and criticism are.
The future is so far away that no one can predict it. However, the 83rd Oscar is close at hand. After the end of the Sundance Film Festival, with "crazy love", Langley collected the special awards of the jury, so the suspense about whether "buried alive" can win the Oscar nomination suddenly became popular.
This year, the momentum of "generation Y" actors is too strong. In previous years, the average age of best actor in Oscar is between 40 and 45, which is also a common phenomenon in Hollywood. But this time, actors under the age of 32 ushered in a blowout, showing a prosperous scene.
James Franco, Ryan Gosling, Jesse Eisenberg, Jack Gyllenhaal and Langley hall all have the strength to be nominated; Besides them, the actors over the age of 32 are slightly declining, but they still can't be underestimated. It seems that it's not too unexpected for anyone to go up and fall behind. So who can laugh to the end?
Tom Sherak, chairman of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and last year's best supporting actress winner Monique announced the nomination list at the Samuel Godwin theater.
Among all the awards of the whole award ceremony, the best picture is always the most eye-catching item. Even though the number of nominations has increased from five to ten, the degree of attention still remains unchanged, and this year is no exception.
"The king's speech" and "social network", the two award season leaders, won the nomination without any suspense“ The kids are great "swept the Music Comedy category, and the nominations were expected.
As a commercial film, "Inception" has achieved a great success in box office and word-of-mouth. It has successfully won the nomination and made a new breakthrough in the career of director Christopher Nolan.
Also winning the nomination is the highly praised "Toy Story 3", which has become the first cartoon to compete for the best film since the establishment of the best animated feature film department alone, and the second cartoon to win such honor since "beauty and beast".
In addition to these five works, "black swan", "127 Hours" and "fighter" were mentioned repeatedly in the award season, and the works with outstanding performance also undoubtedly won the nomination, which continued the previous strong.
But in the last two seats, there was a big surprise.
"Earth thunder", which had not been nominated in the Golden Globe award before, reversed at the last moment, broke through the siege and occupied a place in the battle for best picture.
Although the film, directed by the Cohen brothers, landed in the New York Film Festival on December 14 and received a lot of praise, it still failed to win the Golden Globe Award; After that, the official screening was launched on the 22nd, and the word-of-mouth went up all the way. It was generally believed that it was far higher than the "serious man" of the two brothers last year and the "burning after reading" of the year before last. The level was almost comparable to the "no country for old" who won the best film Oscar.
Missed the selection time of the "three wind vanes of the Oscars", the "earth thunder" is still strong in the Oscar nomination list. The Cohen brothers are worthy of being the most outstanding directors in the industry in the past five years, giving full play to the meaning of "relying on strength in the nomination stage".
The last seat was taken away by "winter's bone". The winner of last year's Sundance jury award was highly praised throughout the year. The momentum extended from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and successfully ranked in the top ten Oscar nominations.
Strictly speaking, the nomination of "winter's bone" can not be regarded as a cold one, but it really came to the fore after a hard struggle. It won the nomination after winning many excellent works, such as "blue Valentine's Day", "buried alive", "Barney's life", "City robber", and became the most representative work of independent film in 2010.
In this way, all the ten nominations for best picture have been announced, and none of the popular works have been omitted.
Similarly, in terms of the number of nominations, these ten works are also the absolute protagonists.
"The king's speech" led the way with 12 nominations, including the best director, best actor, best supporting actor, best supporting actress, best original script, best film editing and so on. In the future, with a strong posture and a stable conservative pattern, he successfully conquered the hearts of the college judges and completed the counter attack in the nomination stage.
The Weinstein brothers are really good at it.
Social networks, which had been leading the way, slowed down significantly in the final stage of nominations, with only eight nominations.
Although the best director, best actor, best adapted script, best film editing and other major departments are still not missing, the failure of the best supporting actor is staggering. What's more, this film, which is good at technology, has been completely surpassed by the "King's speech" which is good at performance and story in the technology department. This is not good news.
"The king's speech" versus "social network", which is the main theme of this year's award season, "social network" surprised everyone with the sharpness and ability of the 21st century, successfully leading the first half“ "The king's speech" is closely followed by the retro elegance of the last century, bringing the college's conservatism and narcissism into full play.
This duel will continue to the Oscars ceremony. However, after the announcement of the nominations, the situation suddenly changed. "Earth thunder" won ten nominations, surpassed the "social network" in one fell swoop, followed by the "King's speech" with a huge momentum, and the situation of the award season suddenly became complicated and confusing.
The nominations of "earth thunder" include the best director, best actor, best supporting actress, best adapted screenplay and other important awards. The only disadvantage is that it has lost the nomination of best film editing, but the overall momentum is no less than that of "the king's speech".
There are not only the Cohen brothers, but also the names of Jeff Bridges, Roger Deakins, Scott Rudin and other heavyweights. The appeal of the college can not be underestimated, which is enough to compete with the Weinstein brothers.
What's more interesting is that in addition to the "earth thunder", the "Inception" which has won eight nominations and the "fighter" which has won seven nominations are also powerful. The former has an absolute advantage in the technical department, while the latter has a strong impact in the performance department.
In other words, originally thought that it was Errenzhuan, but now it seems that it is a melee of five works, just from the best director nomination can see such a pattern.
The Cohen brothers of "earth thunders", "David finch of" social network "," Tom Hooper of "King's speech", "david-o-russell of" fighter "and" Aronofsky of "black swan" have successfully won the best director nomination.
As a commercial director, after "Batman: The Dark Knight", Christopher Nolan is once again ignored by the Academy. He still has a long way to go to copy the footsteps of James Cameron and Peter Jackson. Instead of Christopher, it's Darren, who is famous for his "black swan" in the award season.
Before that, Darren, who had contributed such masterpieces as "Requiem of dreams", "king of wrestling" and "treasure source", finally stood out and won his first Oscar nomination in his career.
On the whole, the five works fell into a melee, which became the most vivid interpretation after the announcement of the nomination list of the 83rd Academy Awards. This year's Academy Awards ceremony is bound to be extremely exciting, with the "social network" losing its leading edge, the "King's speech" catching up with the overwhelming momentum, the "earth thunder" of sophistication, and the "Inception" and "fighter" with obvious advantages and disadvantages.
Of course, we should not forget the covetous "black swan".
Compared with the Golden Globes, the announcement of the Oscar nomination list has successfully triggered off the topic and filled people with expectations. However, there are still many highlights in each single event.
