Chapter 900

Applause, or applause.

At the moment of Meryl Streep's coronation, the whole Kodak Theater applauded incessantly and presented high respect with great momentum. No matter whether Meryl can win the Venice film queen in the future, or whether Meryl can catch up with Katharine Hepbum's four best actress records, there is no doubt, Meryl has written her own legend.

It is precisely because Meryl's record in the Oscar is really too good, so people call her "Oscar cancer", which is a joke, but also a recognition. Meryl is the most important obstacle for every actress on her way to the top of the Oscars. From the current situation, this name should be with her for some time.

Meryl and Colin left the stage together, and the guests in the Kodak Theater finally came to their senses: what happened just now?

The number one winner, Viola Davis, suffered a sudden cold, and "help" still has only one best supporting actress in the account tonight. In the absence of the nominations for best actor and best director, "help" can be basically determined, and has no chance for best picture.

In other words, the battle for "Hugo", "artist", "descendant" and "midnight Paris" has entered the stage of the last bayonet becoming popular. For "midnight Paris" and "Hugo", the best director is the last fight; For the "artists" and "descendants", before the best director, the fight for the best actor will become an important hurdle for tonight's award ceremony.

Best actor, the best actor in the world.

People always say that perhaps the best actress will occasionally appear in the new year, and the actress may be lucky to reach the top, such as Sandra Bullock in 2010, Marion godia in 2008, Reese Witherspoon in 2006, Halle Berry in 2002, etc; But that's not the case for best actor.

In the past ten years, the duel and competition of best actor in every academy award are all real talents and real weapons. Only the real strong and the bully can stand out and laugh to the end. The winner of the final little golden man in every Academy Award is worthy and has been unanimously affirmed.

Why is Sean pan so detached in Hollywood? Why does Philip Seymour Hoffman have a solid reputation in the industry? Why does Daniel Day Lewis not have to pay for College Pr?

The answer is the same: the absolute strength above the Oscars is the absolute victory, especially after the concept of the 1998 award season came out, the college public relations gradually began to rise, these actors can still win the Oscars in the light of swords and swords!

After the glory of Hollywood's peak period in the 1960s and the turbulence of its business model in the 1980s, Hollywood's demands and expectations for actors have gradually taken shape, both for actresses and actors.

The first is age. The golden age of an actor is 35 or even after 40.

As of this year, a total of 412 actors in history have nominated for the best actor. Only less than 10% of the actors under 30 have won the nomination for the first time, and the average age is 43. This is in sharp contrast to actresses, at least half of whom were under 30 when they first won the nomination.

Among the 22 winners after the 1990s, those over the age of 40 won nine times, those over the age of 50 won four times, and those over the age of 30 won eight times. The only winner under the age of 30 was Adrian Brody, a "pianist", who was 29 years old and 343 days old when he reached the top.

The second is the appearance. The handsome appearance when young is no longer popular. The handsome guys like Marlon Brando, Clark Gable and James Stewart who won the little golden man in their early 30s have become history. Unless they get old.

The most typical representatives are Paul Newman, Peter Otto and Leonardo DiCaprio. Paul, who has been handsome all his life, won the lifetime achievement award, and the second year he won the first film king; Peter won eight nominations, but nothing; And after the new century, the competition for Xiaojin has become the resentment of Leonardo.

In recent years, Ryan Gosling, Jack Gyllenhaal, Jude Law, Ethan Hawke and so on, who have repeatedly hit the wall, are also like this.

This year's battle for best actor is no less fierce, but the hidden rules have broken the rules of previous years, and continued the chaos of the award season.

George Clooney of "posterity", "Brad Pitt of" penalty gold "," Gary Oldman of "Pot Maker, tailor, soldier, spy", "Jean Dujardin of" artist ", and" love crazy "Langley hall.

All the five nominees have strength, and at the same time, all the five nominees have popularity. Whether it is pure paper strength or variable college public relations, the gap between the five nominees is not as big as expected; This is also known as the most intense and closest competition for movie stars in five years.

Five years ago, that is, in 2007, Forrest Whitaker, with the enchanted performance of "the last dictatorship", defeated Peter Otto of "the last God of love", "Leonardo DiCaprio of blood diamond", "Will Smith of" when happiness knocks "and" half Nelson "Ryan Gosling, and successfully won the only gold medal in his career.

Tonight, the competition is more intense than ever; But it's harder to predict.

In terms of age, George and Gary in the 50 year old range, Brad in the 40 year old range, Jean in the 30-year-old range, and lenley in the 20-year-old range are all over the three generations of old, middle-aged and young people; Appearance, in addition to Gary, the other four actors are recognized as handsome.

From these two aspects, Jean Dujardin and Langley hall should be the first to go out: nomination is encouragement; George and Brad are the most popular winners, with their fame, connections, reputation and works all taking advantage.

But in fact, the whole process of the awards season has changed a little - or earth shaking.

After this year's award season officially kicked off, in the battle for movie king, two young actors, Lanley hall and Ryan Gosling, who are the first to take the lead, especially when "crazy love" and "cancer fighting me" are being shown, Lanley has become the number one hot runner.

Later, Ryan gradually left behind, but Langley's strong momentum continued.

"Crazy love" as a private, personal and private sketch, has no advantages compared with other works. Moreover, the role played by lanli is not a real person, is not terminally ill, is not physically disabled, and is just an ordinary college student, even more ordinary than last year's "blue Valentine's Day".

It doesn't seem to have any appeal to Oscar.

However, James, played by Langley, awakens people's good memory of "Anne hall": Woody Allen's Jewish youth is ordinary, ordinary, nagging, stingy, self critical and troublesome, but he embodies the color of the whole society and presents the true and beautiful appearance of love.

Only in terms of strength, Langley has gained numerous affirmation, and has become the representative of generation Y this year, with Michelle Williams, and the public unanimously gave the affirmation. Among the five actors on the Oscar nomination list, a strong leader! There is no doubt about this.

With the gradual advance of the award season, the competition situation is gradually opening up. George Clooney and Brad Pitt, the two core actors, entered the competition for the Academy with their brilliant performance, and they are fierce.

With two works of "posterity" and "the president's death", George, who once again created the pinnacle of his career, once again became the focus of attention for his delicate and solid performance. In particular, Alexander Penn's "posterity" has given George enough space to play and deep space to dig. The excellent script undoubtedly helped a lot.

The name of "Hollywood president" is not just a joke, which makes George's momentum and reputation rise rapidly.

At the same time, Brad did not show any weakness, and "penalty becomes gold" came on the stage first. Many people called him the "weakness" of this year. He grabbed all the topics and eyeballs, and once again showed his ambition and determination to polish his acting skills; Then the "tree of life" suddenly emerged, a large number of inner monologues and profound reflection, once again contributed to Brad's acting skills.

Objectively speaking, both of the two works are a bit of a fuss. The script of "penalty kick makes gold" and the photography and director of "tree of life" are not good for Brad. But overall, Brad's rise is also very fast.

In the middle of the award season, the duel between "George vs. Brad" has become the highlight of the award season. Countless media and audiences are looking forward to the duel between the two actors to see who can win the Oscar.

After that, Jean Dujardin made a late comer.

"Artist" has been shown in film exhibitions all over the world. It was not until the end of November and the beginning of December that it landed in the North American market and held spot, expansion and public shows. The public praise gathered by major film exhibitions gradually created momentum for the work publicity and seized the focus; As time goes by, all aspects of "artist" gradually catch up and become one of the most popular money in the award season.

As the leading actor, Jean Dujardin's personal charm and excellent performance are indispensable.

An "artist" has successfully made Jean Dujardin a sexy man admired by women all over the world. His handsome appearance, elegant and classic temperament and romantic French accent all make him reappear the glory of the top stars in the golden age. Even the depression and difficulties in real life coincide with the times and images in the "artist" story, It is almost impossible to distinguish reality from illusion.

Finally, Gary Oldman's Jedi reversal.

Gary was absent from almost all the nominations of important outposts, but with the focus film's concentrated public relations in the sprint stage, he won his first Oscar nomination in his career as a spy. In history, only two times have the spy role been shortlisted in the showdown circle.

As a result, the Oscar nomination of the top five, hot.
