Chapter 2301

The Oscar nominations list has been officially released. From the number of nominations, we can roughly see the pattern of the second stage of the whole award season.

"Birdman" and "Budapest Hotel" are both leading the list with nine nominations, among which the best film, best director, best original script, best supporting actress and best photography departments are all overlapping, and a confrontation is about to start; The remaining four parts are the dislocation of technology awards.

In addition to the above five awards, "Birdman" also received nominations for best actor, best supporting actor, best sound effect and best sound editing. Although he was not shortlisted for the best editing award, he won three nominations in the performance department, which also kept the overall momentum of Birdman at the forefront.

"Budapest Hotel" was also shortlisted for the best art director, the best costume design, the best original music, the best makeup and modeling, which continued the momentum of the whole award season. From the perspective of film art effect, this is the most "interesting" work of this year's award season.

Besides them, "pop drummer" and "Youth" are closely followed by seven nominations and six nominations respectively, which together constitute the biggest winners of the nomination list. It is very likely that the best picture should be the war of these four works.

"Youth", "Budapest Hotel", "Birdman" and "pop drummer" are only the candidates who have been nominated for best picture, best director and best play (original adaptation). If "Birdman" is deducted, the nomination for best editing can also be added.

It can be seen from all aspects that the overall momentum of these four works is easily ahead of other competitors, both in terms of the quality and quantity of nominations.

In addition to the above four nominations, "Youth" also received two important nominations for best supporting actor and best supporting actress. Although it lacks competitiveness in the technical department, the weight of the six nominations is no less than that of the nine nominations of "Budapest Hotel" and "Birdman".

The same is true of "pop drummer". The three nominations for best actor, best supporting actor and best sound effect are also full of weight. Even in the face of powerful competitors, they still have competitiveness that can not be underestimated - Sony classic is preparing for a big fight.

What about the other best picture contenders?

"Imitation game" is also seven nominations, including best film, best actor, best supporting actress, best adapted script, best art direction, best original score and best editing.

If you don't lose the nomination for best director, it's still a strong contender - and that's why people are confused about Weinstein's PR strategy.

"American sniper" has six nominations: best picture, best adapted script, best actor, best editing, best sound effect and best sound effect editing.

Although Clint Eastwood is not shortlisted for the best director, his appeal in the academy is still impressive. In the case of mediocre reputation and complete disregard of the Golden Globe Awards, he still made a counter attack to win the Oscars. Moreover, he has gained some achievements in the heavy award departments, and his prestige has not been reduced.

Five nominations of "theory of everything", including best film, best actor, best actress, best adapted script and best original score.

"Selma March" two nominations, best picture, best original song.

From the number of nominations, nominating departments and other details, we can clearly see the overall pattern of the first stage of the award season, which is more concise and powerful than any analysis; On the other hand, the absence nomination of "Fox Hunter" is absolutely a mystery.

"Fox Hunter" has won five nominations, including best director, best supporting actor, best original script, best make-up and hairstyle. Among them, there are two nominations for best supporting actor. So why is there no best film? From all aspects, this work is comparable to "imitation game", "American sniper" and "theory of everything". From any angle, it has a strong competitiveness, and it's really hard to understand why it finally falls behind.

The only possible explanation is that after the strong impact of the hacker incident, Sony classic had to make a choice. They chose to give up "Fox Hunter" and specialize in "pop drummer". The college's public relations strategy has quietly changed, just like Weinstein pictures. But even if it is explained in this way, the first stage of college public relations can not be completely covered, it can only be a guess in the dilemma.

In this way, Weinstein pictures gave up the "imitation game", while Sony classic gave up the "Fox Hunter", which completely changed the pattern of the award season. The second stage, which was difficult to guess, is now full of more suspense. A little change may lead to different development.

Of course, the performance of the work itself also affects the harvest of the actors to a certain extent. In the second stage of the college public relations war, the overall strength of the work must play a supporting role in the competition of the acting department. This influence can now be clearly seen in the four awards nominations of the acting department.

The first is the lack of suspense supporting departments.

The best supporting actress, Patricia Arquette in her youth, Emma stone in Birdman, Keira Knightley in imitation game, Meryl Streep in magic black forest, and Laura Dunn in the wilderness are among the final five.

There is no doubt that Lara Dunn, who has "set foot in the wilderness", Jessica chastan, Imelda Staunton, Renee Russo, and Naomi Watts, who are "Saint Vincent", have fallen behind, However, Laura Dunn, who had never been able to show up in the previous award season, completed the turnaround at the last moment, which made her admire the public relations ability of Fox Searchlight, the distribution company of "stepping into the wilderness".

Best supporting actor, JK Simmons of pop drummer, Ethan Hawke of boyhood, Edward Norton of Birdman, Steve Carrell and mark rufaro of fox hunter, won the Oscar nominations.

The only surprise should be Steve Carrell, who signed up for best supporting actor.

Since the whole award season, the competition in the best supporting actor Department has been relatively stable. There are not too many accidents and waves. This is true in all aspects. Even the winning voices are all focused on JK Simmons, which is in sharp contrast to the fierce competition in the best actor department. As a result, Sony classic has made a shocking decision, Sign up for Steve Carrell's supporting actor department.

Steve Carrell, who was born as a comedian, showed his comedic talent by virtue of the "office" of American TV series, but he has been nominated for Emmy for six consecutive years, which shows his dilemma; In terms of movies, "crazy and stupid love", "40 year old virgin", "sunny little beauty", "fake god 2" and other works have made great achievements, but they have never been able to open up a situation for him.

Until the appearance of fox hunter.

Carrell, who has never been noticed by people, seems to be enlightened overnight. His acting skills are delicate and hierarchical, and the depth of his eyes is the finishing touch, just like Matthew McConnell last year, which makes him get numerous attention in the award season. In other years, it seems that it is not difficult to win the best actor nomination. However, this year, Sony classic has encountered a rare "crowding". In addition, Sony classic has made its own trade-off, which leads to the present situation.

Of course, "Fox Hunter" is a group play, and there is no absolute leading role. Channing Tatum's role is also very heavy, but it has not been able to win recognition. Every role can be said to be a leading role or a supporting role, so there is not much controversy about signing up.

Before the Golden Globe Award, Sony classic had been signing up for Best Supporting Actor for Steve Carrell. Later, they realized that the voice focused on Steve Carrell was growing rapidly, and they tried to push him to the best actor. However, in the process of fighting for the Golden Globe Award, there was a deviation, and the whole situation changed again. So Sony classic weighed it over and over again, I signed up for Carrell as best supporting actor.

Sure enough, there was an accident in the battle for the Golden Globe Award, and the competition was intense; Now, "Fox Hunter" has successfully snatched two seats in the best supporting actor department, which also makes Sony classic a dominant player in the best supporting actor competition, with three seats. It has to be said that Sony classic has made a good move.

The second is the leading sector with more fierce competition.

The best actress, Julian Moore of "still Alice", Felicity Jones of "theory of everything", Reese Witherspoon of "setting foot in the wilderness", rosamande peck of "lost lover" and Marion godia of "two days and one night" have joined hands to become the candidates for the post film competition.

In the first four seats, there are not many doubts, while in the fifth nomination seat, there is a surprising surprise. Three powerful candidates, Amy Adams with big eyes, Jennifer Aniston with cake and Emily Bronte with magic black forest, have been defeated one after another. However, Marion godia, who has not made any noise before, has quietly completed the counter attack, There was a cry of surprise.

Judging from the nominations list of the actors union of America, Jennifer Aniston has completed the counterattack with "cake" and is very hopeful that she will be shortlisted for the Oscar competition for the first time in her career.

This actress, who has a firm foothold with "friends", has performed perfectly in the Academy's public relations during the award season. Her active and humorous performance shows her years of wallowing in Hollywood. All kinds of signs show that she is about to achieve a breakthrough in her career. But in the end, such an accident happened, and the whole industry was shocked, I don't understand what happened.

However, this is the voting result of the college judges. Even if the judges themselves don't know what happened, they can't change the result.

A similar situation also happened in the best actor department, the nominating player of the American actors union award, and there was a laggard, which successfully triggered a cry of surprise.
