Throughout the awards season, Langley was the first to stand out, followed by George and Brad, let's make a sudden appearance, and Gary's last-minute anti super, which constituted the nomination of the top five seats.
The five nominees have their own advantages and disadvantages. For example, lanli's strength is extremely outstanding, but his works are too small and too young; For another example, let's have a great work, but its own fame is limited, so the college's public relations can hardly open up a situation; For example, Gary was unknown until the final stage, but his hard work, high qualifications, being in the same year and so on are all good.
Comparatively speaking, the advantages and disadvantages of George and Brad are the most balanced, and all aspects have reached a relatively perfect state. All these factors make the duel between the two actors become a hot topic early. "George vs Brad" is definitely the biggest attraction of this year's award season.
After receiving the nomination, George was nominated for the fourth time and Brad for the third time. However, George has won a best supporting actor with "hinrina", and Brad has not been recognized after 18 years of hard work since "Twelve Monkeys" won the Oscar nomination for the first time in 1995.
Brad had the upper hand in the sympathy vote.
However, these are just tactical analysis on paper.
In the process of public relations of the college, George and let the two actors go in and out together, publicize and support each other, and even spread the same-sex affair between the two at one time. The harmonious and beautiful public relations strategy has won numerous favors. Many people are also wondering whether the situation of "George vs. let" is above the Oscar?
Gradually, George and Jean joined hands and began to take advantage; With the double bonus of absolute strength and excellent topics, Langley has never been left behind. His momentum and reputation have always been in the first step, keeping pace with George, Jean and others; However, Brad's rising momentum began to slow down, and even stagnated.
So Brad adjusted his PR strategy. In public or private occasions, he praised Langley many times, and said that he was willing to cooperate with Langley if the opportunity allowed. "His performance in the 'buried alive' reminds me of Edward Norton", and his praise was beyond expression.
Later, in the sprint stage of the award season, Brad and Langley met many times in public relations occasions and private parties, and they always had a good talk. Brad's contacts and Langley's specialty quietly complemented each other, but they gained more support and recognition than the combination of George and Jean.
Then the "speculation gate" incident broke out.
The pattern of the whole award season is completely shuffled. Although Jean Dujardin succeeded in winning the first prize after the "hype gate" by the American actors' Union, there were more variables in the next few film critics' Association Awards. In just two weeks, there were more and more variables, and the trend of awards began to become unpredictable.
Even the most determined award forecasters are unable to make more accurate judgments at this time.
According to the award winning situation of the outpost in the award season, Gary, who was the winner at the last moment, didn't receive any awards except for a few nominations in the sprint stage. With only 30 years of experience and reputation, under such a fierce competition this year, Gary's chance to win still exists, but it is extremely difficult.
The remaining four candidates are on a par.
George took the lead and won nine titles, including the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award. In the hinterland of Hollywood, the advantage of "Hollywood president" is still very obvious; In terms of nominations, he is the only one among the five candidates, including all the nominations of movie stars in the important towns.
The work of "posterity" really brings George's mature charm and steady performance to the extreme, even better than "in the cloud" and "Michael Clayton". Maybe, this is not the peak of his acting career; But it's the best chance to win.
Unfortunately, apart from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, the other eight awards are slightly inadequate. Because the competition is too fierce.
Jean Dujardin, on the other hand, has a steady but fierce rise, especially in the second half. With the promotion of George Clooney and Harvey Weinstein, he has won a total of seven film King trophies, including the Golden Globe Award, the American Actors Guild and the National Association of film critics.
Just a few months ago, he was an ordinary French actor, wandering between the second and third lines, not to mention outside Europe and even the world. Even in France, he was just a struggling little actor; But now, he has become the most powerful contender for the Oscar.
In quantity, George is still a little better; But in terms of quality, let's have a slight advantage.
Brad is second only to George in the number of nominations. The "tree of life" has played an auxiliary role, while the strong momentum of "penalty kicks into gold" has made his series of nominations. Unfortunately, in the end, Brad won only four film awards, and the most important one was the Austin Film Critics Association.
Overall, Brad's winning rate is too low“ The performance of "penalty becomes gold" is not as good as that of "posterity".
The last is blue. First of all, in terms of quantity, lanli has won the film King trophy in five outposts. In terms of nomination, it is divided up by "crazy love" and "anti-cancer me". In the first half of the award season, the effect of vote division of the two works is very obvious. Among many film critics' associations, lanli has double nominations. To some extent, this also limits the number of awards.
Secondly, in terms of quality, the five trophies came from the British Academy Award, the North American Radio Film Critics Association Award, the New York Film Critics Association Award, the Boston Film Critics Association Award and the old golden hill Film Critics Association Award. Each award can be called a heavyweight, even if it can't compete with Viola Davis, it's not inferior.
In different periods of the award season, the five award divisions really let people feel the strong momentum of the blue ceremony. No matter how hot and active George and Jean's college public relations are, Langley still does not completely fall behind and remains in the first group. However, if we really want to say that Langley's winning probability is not likely to surpass George and Jean.
Before the award ceremony, George Clooney was the most popular winner, and Jean Dujardin was almost equal. The two of them had some momentum to keep pace with each other. If we add the popularity of "artists", then Jean Dujardin might have the upper hand; Behind them, Lan Li, who is waiting for the opportunity, and Brad, who refuses to give up and pursues.
Interestingly, the process of tonight's award ceremony not only did not make the pattern of the battle for movie king clear, but also became more and more chaotic.
Among the five nominees, except for lanli's "crazy love" did not win the best picture, the other four works were all shortlisted for the final battle of best picture. However, now that "penalty becomes gold" and "cookers, tailors, soldiers and spies" have been declared out, it is "descendants" and "artists" who are qualified and able to compete for the final prize.
In other words, "George vs Jean", the two popular duels, seems to have become the biggest focus of the best actor battle, who can win, will be able to take the lead again in the next duel. It seems that the weight of a movie king is heavier.
But what if, like the best actress and the best clip, it's cold? For example, if Brad, the "penalty winner", wins the prize, then tonight's Oscar is really interesting.
In the spotlight, last year's best actress winner Natalie Portman stepped onto the stage with elegant steps.
The scene can clearly feel the tension to almost suffocating tension, uneasiness and depression, even the sound of swallowing saliva has become difficult and obscure; The hot light slowly dense open, like a flame, slowly, slowly burning, oxygen is consumed bit by bit, and then the lung began to scorch, hot, sharp, tingling. After the emotional repression to the extreme, the whole body becomes stiff.
Standing in the middle of the stage, Natalie seems to feel the pressure, and her movements are slightly unnatural.
A best actor trophy, however, maintains the trend of the best film and the chaotic ending of the whole award season. It sounds absurd, but after the different trends of the best editing, the best original script, the best adapted script and the best actress, it is really happening.
Can you believe it“ "Hugo" and "artist" are still in the core awards department, and the technology department has won several trophies, which are still several trophies. As a result, all the hopes are placed in the hands of Natalie - "Hugo" crew hope not "artists" and "descendants"; The "artists" and "posterity" drama groups all hope to be themselves.
It's a small envelope. It's heavy.
The tense and hot air was burning lanli's skin. Before he realized it, the sound of his heart hitting his chest began to be obvious, just like the sound of beating a drum.
Take a deep breath. Take a deep breath again. Lanli gradually calms down. His nervous and nervous mood is suppressed to the limit, and the whole person regains his calm. But then, Lan Li noticed the tension of the two little friends around him.
Jessica clenched her hands and put them on her knees. Her face was stiff and she kept swallowing saliva. The bright lipstick reflected the tension of her cheeks. She seemed to notice lanli's sight. She turned her head and pulled out an awkward and awkward smile. She couldn't say a word. She just raised her hands and clenched her fist to cheer lanli, Then he crossed his fingers again, put them on his knees and turned to look at the stage.
She was even more nervous than the best supporting actress she had nominated.
Ryan naturally put his hands on the back of the chair without any special movement, but his breathing seemed to disappear. He could not see the ups and downs of his chest and the changes of his expression. His eyes looked straight at the stage, his soul was out of his body, and his muscles were tense to the extreme, which made people doubt whether he would explode in the next second.
The tension everywhere, suffocating, involuntarily, lanli also began to get nervous.
