The nominations for best actor include Bradley Cooper of "the happiness line behind the dark cloud," "Daniel Day Lewis of Lincoln," "Jackie phoenix of the master," "Hugh Jackman of the miserable world," and... Lenley Hall of detachment.
This is the second surprise on this year's Oscar nomination list after the best director Ben Affleck was out; In other words, this is another unexpected drop in the nomination list at the end of the second stage of the award season, besides "love" and "Southern beast"!
Throughout the awards season, Denzel Washington is the third seeded player. The nominations for the Golden Globe Award, the American Actors Guild Award, the American National Review Association Award, the North American Radio Film Critics Association Award, the old golden hill Film Critics Association Award, and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award were all successfully won.
Although it has never been able to win the prize, it has not been able to break through the joint blockade of Bradley and Daniel; Even above the Golden Globes, Hugh Jackman stood out in the music and comedy department, surpassing Bradley Cooper, while Denzel was still strongly suppressed by Daniel in the plot department, and no trophy was recorded in the whole award season.
However, the nominations of the major outposts are still within reach. Denzel has also been jokingly called the "strongest running companion" of the year.
This year, in the face of Daniel Day Lewis's absolute strength, other actors are basically running with him. However, in the position of running with him, Denzel is even more stable than Bradley and Hugh. Because the latter two are in the music and comedy department, while he is in the plot department, which has a congenital advantage over the Oscar.
The reality is cruel.
Oscar nominations are out, Denzel Washington is out, and Langley hall is airborne.
So far, Langley has only received two nominations in the long award season, one from the New York Film Critics Association Award and one from the Academy of motion picture and Television Arts Award.
These are undoubtedly two important towns, which occupy a crucial position in the award season. However, people do not pay much attention to them. Instead, it is generally believed that they are taken care of by their own mothers.
On the one hand is New York, the birthplace of Langley's artistic career; On the other hand, Britain, Langley's real hometown, naturally gets more recognition. Therefore, it is difficult to play a crucial role in the real direction of the Oscar nomination.
Obviously, people are wrong.
After the "Southern beast" and after Jacqueline Phoenix, Langley hall has become another airborne nominees on this year's Oscar list.
Similar to the former, the solid reputation and excellent foundation of the independent film industry have been unanimously praised by the public. However, due to the lack of public relations resources, the independent film industry has always been lukewarm and even lost in the public during the award season.
Similar to the latter, the highly acclaimed performance "chaotuo" was the best actor in Berlin last year, while "master" was the best actor in Venice last year. It has a solid and heavy reputation among professionals, but both of them are absent from the college's public relations.
But in the end, with absolute strength, absolute prestige, absolute professional authority and strength, he entered the Oscar nomination list, which completely reversed the disadvantage of failing to expand publicity in the award season, the situation that the Oscar is gradually becoming a public relations game, and the rumor that the authority of the Oscar is declining due to more and more commercialization.
When people talk about Daniel Day Lewis, the first impression that comes to mind is: professionalism and strength.
This year's "Lincoln", Daniel attended a small number of college public relations occasions, but mainly in order to cooperate with Steven Spielberg's publicity, only achieved polite etiquette, did not devote himself to public relations publicity.
Nevertheless, in the competition for the little golden man, Daniel is still the best, surpassing Anne Hathaway's advantage in the supporting actress department and becoming the most suspense one among the major awards this year. You know, once you win the prize, it will be Daniel's third Golden man, setting a new record, but Daniel still has such a huge advantage.
This is the supremacy of absolute strength.
Now, the same is true of "master" Jack Kun and "detached" lanli. In the fierce competition, the excellent strength of the superior has become the best stone to ask the way. Even if there is no college public relations, even if there is no media publicity, even if it is hidden in a pile of gravel, it can still easily stand out.
The same is true of "Southern beast" and "love".
After the chaos of last year's awards ceremony, this year's Oscars showed great courage in the nomination stage. If it wasn't for Ben Affleck's accident, I'm afraid that this kind of courage will be carried out in the award voting. Unfortunately, now that the accident has occurred, how much role this kind of courage can play is unknown.
By the way, the best actor nominations for the Oscars fit perfectly with the nominations for the New York Film Critics Association Awards and the British Academy Awards.
After he won the best actor competition for the Oscars with "detachment", it also created his own history: he has received the Oscar nominations for three years in a row. If he can continue this momentum next year, he will also catch up with the records of Marlon Brando and Al Pacino. No wonder after the nomination list comes out, People can't wait to call Langley "Brando of the 21st century".
It's not because of the similar style and aura of lanli and Malone, but because both of them became famous when they were young, and quickly established themselves with outstanding strength, and finally created their own era.
Of course, compared with Malone, who has been in the movie world for nearly 30 years, lanli is still too young and immature, and the future is still uncertain; In spite of this, lanli smoothly extended the whole year strength of 2012 all the way to the award season.
From point to expansion, the box office performance of "chaotuo" is not bad, but it is still lower than people's expectation; In addition, the awards season is mixed, and before the Oscar nomination list came out, "chaotuo" has never been able to reach the top of the competition list, and has been gradually forgotten by people. Therefore, many media can't wait to say that the first Waterloo of lanli's career is here.
It's choking, it's lamenting, it's regretting, it's sighing. Some people are even worried about the box office prospects of gravity.
But now, facts have proved that those worries are unnecessary. Lanli's acting career not only did not fall into the mire, but also continued to rise. After successfully achieving the box office profit, "chaotuo" entered the Oscar nomination stage again, which also drew a perfect end for lanli's brilliant 2012.
Interestingly, Weinstein pictures, which has no direct competition with "detachment", has once again become the focus of attention in the industry.
After the hot nomination list, Harvey Weinstein smashed a champagne bucket into the tennis court, causing a slight injury to a caddie; Later, the locker of the tennis club was smashed, and the club issued an announcement to formally prohibit Harvey from entering the club again; Finally, Harvey smashed a Lamborghini with a golf club.
In the process of blocking the alliance, Harvey was still unable to stop Langley from reaching the top. He watched Langley win the best actor competition for the third year in a row, which was a shame for Weinstein film, especially when he went all out to launch the encirclement and suppression this year.
Harvey left the ground angry.
The whole industry can feel the fury from Harvey, even more than Affleck, and the fury has been rolling down. It's also unpredictable when this fury will end and to whom it will burn. At least to be sure, Harvey will never give up on the third stage of this year's college public relations.
It's not over; To be exact, it's just the beginning!
Unintentionally, "Langley vs Harvey", Langley goes to the next city.
As for the chance of winning the prize at the award ceremony, it's no longer important now. Whether it's running or supporting role, even if it's the final cold summit, this nomination is the best affirmation for "detached".
Just like the "Southern beast", after the independent film was nominated and affirmed, the exposure rate rose sharply, which is the greatest affirmation of the artistic creators, forming a virtuous circle and truly stimulating the long-term development of the whole film industry.
Eight days after the announcement of the Oscar nomination list, Langley received an email from Tony Kaye. In the email, he first expressed his congratulations on Langley's winning the nomination, but the focus was still on the back, describing in detail his experience in Romania
"Surprisingly, this work has been watched and inspired here. Now, thanks to the Oscar nominations, more and more countries are willing to introduce them, and more and more independent filmmakers are encouraged, which is a good thing.
If this film can still arouse people's attention to education, it would be great. Now I'm thinking of holding a tour in the United States in the name of Oscar, hoping that more and more people will pay attention to the education level and teachers in slums. This is the future of the country. "
For Tony, the nomination is just a reward. After congratulation, it's forgotten. In the final analysis, his enthusiasm and concern are still on the film itself and social welfare.
However, from a different angle, even Tony, a traitor who is not familiar with the world, has expressed concern for the Oscar, and made full use of the influence of the Oscar nomination, trying to further promote charity and art. This aspect also confirms the strong influence of the Oscar. The aftereffect of a nomination is far more lasting and far-reaching than expected.
Then, after the Academy announced the nomination list, the shock and sensation of Los Angeles is even more unimaginable.
Fortunately, the existence of "Southern beast" and "love", Ben Affleck's fury, took away most of the sight; This also makes the low-key "detachment" and lanli avoid the most hot focus, which also makes lanli keep an absolutely quiet environment and devote himself to the shooting of "drunken folk songs".
The official announcement of the nomination list also means that the awarding season has entered the third stage and started to make a full spurt!
