Chapter 897

The award ceremony was in full swing; The annual event is in full swing.

After the prelude, the awards were announced one by one, including the best live action short film, the best documentary short film and the best documentary long film, the best animated short film and the best animated long film, the special honor award, the best foreign language film, and so on.

For the majority of the audience, after the climax of the opening ceremony, the happy party entered a period of suspension, and all the awards belonged to the third part with less attention; But for film practitioners, especially those who really focus on artistic creation, these awards are more valuable.

Although short films, documentaries and cartoons have received little attention, or even no attention; But it is these film workers who work and create silently that constitute the cornerstone of the film industry. Countless top film masters are born in short films and documentaries, such as Christopher Nolan, Steven Spielberg, Quentin Tarantino, etc.

More and more people are looking forward to success, but less and less people are willing to be down-to-earth and conscientious from the foundation. In the era of fast food culture, the case of one-step rise to the sky and overnight fame is too tempting and provocative. This is true of music, film and artistic creation.

So, lanli not only didn't feel bored, but also enjoyed browsing the nominees and winners of each award. For example, among the five nominations for the best documentary feature film, there is a familiar face, "the return of hell". This work landed in Sundance with "crazy love" at the beginning. It has experienced a long year of ups and downs, and now it is the harvest season.

Fortunately, Langley was not alone. Ryan and Jessica, sitting on both sides, also showed great interest in these works. The three people exchanged opinions and occasionally mentioned ideas. Unconsciously, they tasted another flavor of the Oscar ceremony. It's a windfall.

Among the above-mentioned awards, it is worth mentioning the best animated feature film. In the absence of Pixar, Warner Brothers, together with Gore Verbinski, director of "Pirates of the Caribbean", successfully beat "Kung Fu Panda 2" and "cat in boots" to capture the award.

The competition for the best foreign language film is not in suspense. Since the Berlin Film Festival last year, Iran has won the first best foreign language film in history with an absolute advantage. The other four nominees were hardly able to make an effective impact.

Then, the best original song award, only "puppet movie" and "Rio adventure" two nominations, the former won; "Iron Lady" won the best makeup award in the competition of "Iron Lady", "male and female", "Harry Potter".

Comparatively speaking, the competition between the two awards is not too fierce, which weakens the visibility of the award ceremony to a certain extent. However, the award that immediately appeared on the stage awakens the audience's mood again, and the best visual effect award.

This year's top five nominees are "Transformers 3", "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (2)", "iron fist", "Hugo" and "the rise of scarlet ball".

The competition for this award is one of the absolute hot spots this year, just because of one technology: motion capture technology.

Robert Zemeckis, the director of Forrest Gump, is fascinated by the technology and has spent nearly a decade studying it; Besides him, James Cameron also thinks that he is very keen on this technology. They all think that this technology will be the future of the film industry, which is enough to completely change the film shooting mode.

In order to devote himself to the research of this technology, Robert ended his career after shooting "the rest of his life on a desert island", and he forgot to eat and sleep. He successively shot "Polar Express", "Beowulf" and "Christmas Carol" three works, all of which were shot with motion capture technology, but all of them suffered a disastrous defeat, Robert's directing career is in a rut.

In fact, avatar uses exactly the same technology. However, because of the colorful 3D technology, this work has taken away countless lines of sight, but people ignore the important role of motion capture technology.

In the past decade, motion capture technology, like 3D technology, has always been the focus of technological innovation in the industry“ The success of the two characters on the big screen further promotes the research of George Lucas and Peter Jackson.

Last year, motion capture technology really achieved a breakthrough success, thanks to Robert zemikis.

Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson jointly created the "Adventures of Tintin" and the "rise of scarlet ball" of the "Avatar" special effects team. These two works really awaken people's curiosity and enthusiasm about motion capture technology, and then triggered a heated discussion in the industry

Can motion capture really change the film industry? Like the innovation of Blu ray, IMAX, 3D and other film technologies, this technology has also caused numerous controversies and arguments.

After the Oscar nomination list came out, the best visual effects award attracted the attention of countless industry leaders: "Adventures of Tintin" was not selected, and "the rise of scarlet ball" was shortlisted.

So, further, can the "rise of the scarlet ball" win a prize? To be exact, the other four works are traditional computer special effects, and they are also the mainstream technology in the current film special effects industry. The "rise of scarlet ball" must fight a way to the end.

However, if we can get the official approval of the college, then the pace of technological innovation is bound to be further accelerated, which has an important impact on the entire film industry.

A series of top directors, such as Robert zemikis, George Lucas, Peter Jackson, Steven Spielberg and James Cameron, are all cheering up. Before the award ceremony, "Hollywood Reporter" and "variety" magazines have specially written special reports and conducted industry analysis. This also gives the best visual effects award special significance.

Awards announced——

Not "the rise of the scarlet ball", but "Hugo".

This is a cold door, but not a cold door.

On the one hand, the promotion and implementation of any new technology is difficult, and the prospect of special effects capture technology is still a long way to go; But on the other hand, "Hugo" beat "the rise of scarlet ball", and also beat the other three excellent visual effects works, showing the strong style of a popular work like a rainbow!

So what does that mean? Is this an important signal that Hugo will be the best picture? A sign that Martin Scorsese will work miracles again? A sign that the Weinstein brothers' calculations have failed?

But if you think about it seriously, Hugo, the core major award department, has fallen behind. If you want to get involved in the best picture, then the technology department can't afford to lose. So far, the three little golden men are in hand, which only proves the momentum of the leader of the first group of Hugo. As for the trend of the best film, we still need to see the following awards.

After the best visual effects award was awarded, it left a regret and a shock. The first half of the award ceremony ended with lingering suspense.

After coming back in the second half, the award ceremony finally returned to the track. The first awards were the best supporting actor and the best supporting actress, which also means that the award ceremony entered the second half and began to speed up.

Last year, Melissa Leo, who won the best supporting actress for "fighter", stepped onto the stage and announced the best supporting actor award. The five nominees are Christopher Plummer, a beginner, Kenneth Brana, a week with Monroe, Jonah hill, a penalty winner, Nick nott, a warrior and Max von SIDO, who are very loud and very close.

This is the least suspense of all the awards tonight. In the whole award season, Christopher Plummer swept all the awards of all major award ceremonies, big and small. Other people were totally out of touch, leaving almost no room to explode; And the strength and public relations of the other four competitors are far from each other.

In the end, Christopher Plummer was crowned with absolute strength! At the age of 83, he became the oldest Oscar winner.

This actor, with the help of "the sound of music", has been famous in Hollywood and Broadway for half a century. Finally, he won his first little golden man and made history. The whole audience stood up and applauded, sending high respect, which became the most moving scene after the award ceremony tonight.

The subsequent Award for best supporting actress also lacked suspense.

Octavia Spencer, who won the nomination with "help", also has an obvious advantage.

Among the other nominees, Melissa McCarthy, the bridesmaid, and Jennie mctil, the androgynous, are the models of "nomination is victory"; However, Jessica chastan, who is the most threatening in terms of strength, has almost no advantage in the ability to pull the vote because she comes from the work of "help" as Octavia.

The only challenger is the artist's bezenis becho. Originally, she could compete for the heroine, and she was demoted to the supporting actress department with obvious strength and momentum; At the same time, there is also the escort of Weinstein brothers, and the public relations performance of the college is strong. If there is a dark horse, Berenice is the only one.

However, there is no cold door.

Christian bell opened the envelope, and then said the name of "Octavia Spencer", ending all speculation and suspense. This actress, who has starred in countless American dramas and movies, finally broke through the darkness and broke into the sky, and has a place in Hollywood's vanity fair.

No matter it is the best foreign language film, the best animated feature film, the best visual effects, or the best supporting actor and the best supporting actress, all the important awards are lack of surprise, suspense and surprise. The trend of the awards of the whole award ceremony is smooth and steady.

If this trend continues, the Weinstein brothers will once again dominate the Oscars.
