Chapter 896

Best Photography Award.

Not the best supporting actor or the best supporting actress, but the best Photography Award. Tonight's Oscars, in an unexpected way opened the prelude.

Generally speaking, in order to attract the audience and create suspense, the Oscars are usually opened by supporting actors. Because the supporting role Department has strong competitiveness, and it is also one of the awards of the core and main departments, but relatively speaking, the intensity of competition and audience attention are slightly inferior.

As the opening, supporting role departments often bring surprises at the beginning. Whether it's supporting role departments that like to reward new people or supporting role departments that are keen on career summary, for the audience, one is the shining appearance of new faces, the other is the reappearance of familiar faces, which is a good thing for the ratings.

But this year, the first Oscar award was for best photography. It's really intriguing.

Different from other film awards ceremonies or festivals, the Academy Awards Division has formed a system.

The first part is the core of the main awards, best picture, best director, four actors awards and two screenplay awards; The second part is the technical department, which mainly rewards the working team behind the scenes; The third part is about the extra awards of documentary, short film, cartoon and foreign language film, which are weak in attention but fierce in competition.

Among the technical departments, there are ten awards for best makeup, best score, best song, best visual effects, best sound editing, best sound effect, best art direction, best costume design, best photography and best editing, which constitute the highest standard in North America.

According to the voting rules of Oscars, only members of their associations are allowed to vote in the nomination stage; In other words, actors can only vote for four awards in the actor department, and writers can only vote for two awards in the script. However, after the nomination list, all college judges can vote for all awards.

It is for this reason that people say, "nominations depend on strength, awards depend on luck.".

In the nomination stage, with the criticism and test from peers, absolute strength is the guarantee for customs clearance. In this stage, the main force of the college's public relations should be put on publicity, so that more people know their works, let more people watch their works, and improve their popularity.

In the award winning stage, it is a public relations battle of contacts, public relations, publicity, operation and calculation, especially the first part of the core awards. The competition is more intense than you can imagine. Everyone can vote according to their own judgment. However, the second and third parts are exceptions.

The second part is too professional, and the third part is too unpopular.

All judges will choose their own best film, best director, or their favorite performance and script, but those technical awards are confusing. For example, the best make-up and the five nominated works all look wonderful and professional. It's really hard for the writers to choose the best one.

Therefore, most of the judges tend to skip the second part and the third part, so as to avoid making a joke instead of losing their professional standard. Of course, if the judges have a good mind, it is perfectly reasonable to check the second and third parts.

Relatively speaking, the technology sector is less popular. The final winner is still the work that has been widely recognized in the industry.

Among the technology departments, the most popular are the best photography and the best editing. These two awards are also the most cinematic and imaginative elements. The former presents the film picture, while the latter presents the film style. What's more, the best editing has become the "little best film award", which shows the importance of it.

Tonight, the first to appear is the best Photography Award. Among the five nominees, there are four industry leaders.

Robert Richardson of Hugo has been nominated for seven Oscars and won two awards“ Jeff cronenwooh of "the girl with Dragon Tattoo", David finch's Royal photographer, became famous as "fight club" and has been nominated for Oscars for two consecutive years.

Janusz Kaminski, the "war horse", has been nominated for five Oscars and won two awards“ Emmanuel lubezki, the tree of life, was nominated for five Oscars.

Finally, Guillaume Schiffman, the "artist", was nominated. His native place was unknown before, and no one even knew about it in the French film industry. However, it seems that this is not unusual. Like the director, actor, heroine and screenwriter of the "artist", all of them have made a sudden appearance by virtue of this work.

Among the five nominees, except for "the girl with the Dragon Tattoo", four works were shortlisted for best picture. Tonight, the best Photography Award was put on the first prize. Obviously, the competition for best picture has opened up.

From a professional point of view, Emmanuel, the "tree of life" winner, has made a breakthrough among the other four competitors. Throughout the award season, the reputation of this Mexican photographer has been leading the way, and he is almost a God. This Mexican photographer can be called a genius. The use and collocation of natural light, long lens, hand-held photography and ultra wide angle lens are natural and self-contained, and the praise can't stop.

However, from the perspective of public relations, Robert and Gilliam stand out in the award season with their own works. Gilliam, in particular, has become a hot winner tonight, from nobody to everyone. With the promotion of Weinstein brothers.

So, is it professional or public relations? What's more, it's an extremely important technology award, but it's also a cold technology department. The college's tentative implication is really obvious - only PricewaterhouseCoopers, which is responsible for ticketing statistics, knows that all the guests on the scene, like tens of millions of viewers in front of the TV set, can only wait for the result with trepidation and excitement.

In the chaotic years, the college also felt the stones to cross the river.

As a prize winner, Tom Hanks revealed the answer in the eyes of countless people, "Robert Richardson, Hugo."

Public relations, win“ Hugo won; Robert Richardson, after "assassinating Kennedy" and "flying home", captured xiaojinren for the third time. In addition, this is his sixth cooperation with Martin Scorsese.

Robert, who was on stage to receive the award, said, "I can't believe you put the Photography Award in the first place. Are you serious?" This exclamation aroused a lot of low laughter from the guests on the scene, and then he began his own exclamation with ease.

After simply thanking his family, Robert said, "and thanks to the filmmakers of the past, the present and the future, this is for you." But in just 20 seconds, he ended his acceptance speech.

Obviously, light cars are familiar.

Then Tom Hanks continued to present his second award, the best art director award.

"Hugo" crew achieved the incredible Lian Zhuang after the opening, defeated "artist" and "midnight Paris", also defeated "war horse" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (2)", and continued to receive the second Oscar winner tonight.

Such an opening, unexpected, but reasonable.

The whole award season is coming to the end of the Oscars. Hugo, artist, midnight Paris and posterity are the first group to win the awards. However, midnight Paris has lost the best editing nomination and posterity focuses on the main core departments, The competition in the technology sector focuses on "Hugo" and "artists".

In addition to these two works, "dragon tattooed girl" and "war horse" are powerful troublemakers in the technology sector. Now, Hugo has won two trophies in the technology department, which means that it has taken the lead in the best picture competition.

However, the subsequent best costume design award was unexpected. Mark bridges, who won the Oscar nomination for the first time, defeated sandy Powell of Hugo with his retro costume design in "artist", who was nominated for the ninth Academy Award and won two gold medals.

It's still a retro duel between "the artist" and "Hugo". This time, the former laughs to the end and makes a way out of the hands of sandy Powell to capture the first little golden man of the "artist" crew tonight. At the same time, it also changes the pattern of tonight's award ceremony.

After that, the best score awards were not John Williams, who had been nominated for 42 Oscars, Howard Shore, who had established his master status by virtue of the "Lord of the rings" series, or Alberto Iglesias, who had been nominated for seven years and three years, It's the little-known Ludovic bource.

It's a name that has never been heard of before. It's a name that has disappeared in the world film world from commercial works to artistic works. It's also a name that has risen strongly this year by virtue of a work. Everything is so familiar: Ludwig bass won the best score Award for his "artist.".

Before "artist", Ludwig's career was just two small cost commercial works, all of which were completed in cooperation with Michel Hazanavicius.

After the official opening of the 84th Oscars, Hugo and the artist captured two of the four little golden men respectively. Tonight's awarding pattern really shows some features.

Although the two trophies of "artist" have been out of the limelight, it's really inconceivable to the technology department, even inconceivable. It's also rare in the past few decades; Although Hugo's two technology awards are old faces of Oscars, coincidentally, the three winners of the two awards all got their third little gold medal tonight.

But on the whole, it's still hard to be surprised. Obviously, the confrontation between "Hugo" and "artists" has taken shape, especially the rise of the latter, which once again witnessed the Weinstein brothers' superior and strategic public relations level of the college, and they are worthy of the absolute power of Hollywood.

So who can laugh to the end, Hugo or the artist? If there is an accident, who will be in charge of the black horse? What's the trend of awards in the technology sector? And will the awards of the core departments change the competition pattern of best picture?

Suspense, just solved, but far from decryption.
