The brewing of the 79th Oscar nomination list can be described as a difficult birth. The final five were selected in the best picture and best director chaos, but it is still unknown who will die. Compared with the complexity of the two awards, although the situations of the best actor and the best actress are different, they still continue the tone of this Oscar.
Among the nominations for the best actress, Kate Winslet, who was only 31 years old and nominated for five, Meryl Streep, who was nominated for the fourteenth time this year, was nominated six times in ten years. Judi Dench, Penelope Cruz, who broke the shackles of language and won the first actress nomination in Spanish history, and Helen Mirren, the queen of the world, formed the final battle lineup.
It can be seen from that set of data that this is definitely a party of acting geniuses. Each player's strength is worthy of the nomination, and it is undoubtedly the year with the most average strength. However, Helen Mirren has led the way this year. The work "Queen" is the only one of the five candidates to be shortlisted for the best picture competition, and has won unanimous praise from the entire film critics. Throughout the awards season, he never missed, Basically, this year is Helen Mirren's solo show.
Make an assumption, if there is no "Queen" this year, and the other four candidates plus Maggie Gyllenhaal of "Shirley Baby" who unfortunately lost the election, then the chaos of the competition for the actress will be absolutely chaotic. No less tragic than the best picture and best director. From this perspective, it can also be seen that the Spring and Autumn Period of the Oscars this year has continued.
Of course, reality is reality, and there is no "if", so the competition for the actress is still very clear. However, relatively speaking, the pattern of the best actor is a mess, and this is also a gathering of acting talents.
Ryan Gosling, who was nominated for the first time at the age of 26, Leonardo DiCaprio, who was nominated three times at the age of 32, and Evan Bell, who received acting nominations for five consecutive years, at the box office. Will Smith, who is now nominated for the second time, and Forest Whitaker, who has always been conscientious in acting and won the nomination for the first time so far, became the finalists.
In the competition in this division, the situation is still unclear. In the previous awards season, Leonardo DiCaprio, Evan Bell and Forest Whitaker constituted a troika. Go hand in hand. But Ryan Gosling and Will Smith are no less competitive.
Will Smith actually sold a literary work "Knock When Happiness" to a box office of 160 million US dollars. At the time of Evan Bell's rise, he once again proved that his sword of the title of box office emperor is not old, and this A work that focuses on warmth, clearly showing Will Smith's restrained and steady acting skills can definitely touch the softness of many judges' hearts.
Ryan Gosling is known as "the most outstanding representative of the youth acting school after Evan Bell". His debut work "The Believer" has amazed countless people. He won countless voices in "The Notebook". It's a pity that in the end, because Evan Bell was still a little immature back then, and the subject matter was not thick enough, it's a pity that he didn't win the nomination, but this time, relying on the quiet and unmarked acting skills in "Half Nelson", once again let the public opinion circle marvel at this kind of wise and ignorant, The realm of inaction that is ingenious and unworkable makes people unable to help but be impressed. Therefore, the friends of Ryan Gosling and Evan Bell are both considered that the "Golden Man Nomination" will definitely represent more than double digits.
As for the troika, in terms of strength, the five are actually almost the same, but the reason why these three people are slightly ahead is that the strength of the work and the thickness of the actors have become influential factors.
Leonardo DiCaprio is known as the "Second Robert De Niro". His increasingly perfect skills are praised. The two works of "Blood Diamond" and "The Departed" have been dedicated to one after another. The performance makes people applaud. But it is a pity that in the end, Leonardo DiCaprio relied on "Blood Diamond" to be shortlisted for the best actor. On the one hand, his performance in "The Departed" is obviously better than "Blood Diamond"; "The Departed" was shortlisted for the final prize competition, which is also a great weapon. But the helpless fact that the "Blood Diamond" is now shortlisted is also embarrassing.
As for the work "Blood Diamond", it's not that it's bad, but it's more than a grade lower than the works of the top six contenders this year. As Evan Bell said, the "Blood Diamond" meant too much to please Oscar, but it was too crafty and easily self-defeating, which also became a negative result of Leonardo DiCaprio's haste.
Of course, Leonardo DiCaprio's strength is still there, and it is still unknown that he can rely on the "blood diamond" to win the title.
Forest Whitaker gave cannibalistic and tyrannical splendid acting skills in "The Last Dictatorship" this time, and was regarded as "magical" by film critics. Throughout the awards season, although the "Last Dictatorship" was a The overall competitiveness is slightly weaker, but it has always occupied the protagonist in the competition for the best actor. It's also reminiscent of Philip Seymour Hoffman, who fought Evan Bell to the end last year. This year, Forest Whitaker's voice is not to mention the height of Helen Mirren, even compared with last year's Philip Seymour Hoffman, it is slightly inferior, and has been received throughout the awards season. Although the strong sniping from a number of competitors still dominates, it is unknown how much the advantage is.
The last Evan Bell is Forest Whitaker and Leonardo DiCaprio's biggest rival. Leaving aside his previous achievements, this time Evan Bell gave his brutal, cold, persistent and delicate acting skills in "Perfume", which was so wonderful that people could scream. It can be said that Evan Bell alone took Patrick - Suskind's world of scents held up. What's more, Evan Bell has won acting nominations for five consecutive years, with two supporting actors and three leading actors. Even if this acting strength is placed in the entire film history, it is definitely at the forefront.
Now, the media regard Evan Bell as the male version of Meryl Streep. You must know that Meryl Streep is the first actress who is still active on the big screen. A four-time Oscar nominee, she's still one of the greatest actresses in American film history, despite having only two statuettes in her hands. And Evan Bell, who won such accolades at just twenty-four years old, shows how much critics love him.
Therefore, it is still unknown who will be able to break through the final battle of the talent party of the film emperor. Even the majority of film critics cannot make a rash conclusion in this chaotic situation this year.
The same confusion also continued to the best supporting actor, best supporting actress and other departments.
In the competition for the best supporting actor, Jack Nicholson, Brad Pitt, Ben Affleck and others were swept out of the door. Five people, including Eddie Murphy from "Girl", Alan Rickman from "Perfume", Jimon Hughes from "Blood Diamond" and Jackie Earle Harry from "Mother", were successfully shortlisted. , the melee situation is still even Eddie Murphy, who was temporarily ahead in the outpost battle, is still not a popular one. Mark Wahlberg and Alan Rickman all hope to rely on the super popularity of the participating works. roll over.
In the Best Supporting Actress category, Rinko Kikutoku and Andreana Balassa of "Babel", Cate Blanchett of "Scandal", Jennifer Hudson and "Dreamgirls" Anne Hathaway from "The Queen Wears Prada" was shortlisted. This department can also be called a big upset.
Anne Hathaway's nomination for a supporting actress is an accident. In fact, in "The Queen Wears Prada", Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep can be considered as the heroines even if they are robbing each other. It's just a different definition of being a female partner. Throughout the past awards seasons, there have been those who have defined Anne Hathaway as a heroine and a supporting actress, which is similar to the position of "Letter from Iwo Jima". Some of the definitions of foreign language films are not. Different results lead to different results. It's like when Anthony Hopkins appeared in "Silence of the Lambs" for only 21 minutes, was nominated for Best Actor, and successfully won the Oscar. It's mainly a matter of definition.
In the eyes of the Academy, Meryl Streep was the heroine and Anne Hathaway was the supporting actress, so she was placed in the supporting actress department and finally won the nomination. In fact, Anne Hathaway's performance in "The Queen Wears Prada" is eye-catching, breaking through the halo brought by youth idol works such as "The Princess Diaries" and achieving a huge leap, and this time she is shortlisted for the first time The competition for the Oscar acting golden man is gratifying.
In addition, in many important departments, such as the Best Editing Award, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Screenplay, etc., a hundred flowers are blooming, continuing the chaotic pattern of the entire Oscar. This is also the most difficult year to predict the winners.
In the midst of this turmoil, "Perfume" was nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor, achieving Evan Bell's feat of nominations for two consecutive years In addition It also received seven nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Score, Best Cinematography, and Best Editing.
In addition to winning nominations for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress for "The Devil Wears Prada", the nomination for Best Costume Design also earned Katherine Bell her first Oscar nomination in her life.
"High School Musical" was shortlisted for best song and competed fiercely with "Dreamgirls"; "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" was shortlisted for best audio editing, best sound effects, best visual effects, and best art direction Wait for the list of nominations from the four technical departments.
In this nomination list, the most regrettable thing for Evan Bell is that "Ice Age 2" failed to be shortlisted for the competition for the best animated feature film. "Happy Feet", "Cars" and "Monster House" started the final fight.
In the end, "Dream Girl" led the way with eight nominations, but missed the most important Best Picture and Best Director awards; the "Babel Tower", which was abnormally hot throughout the awards season but never had the appearance of a king, won the It received seven nominations, tied with the all-time record for "Perfume" - which tied the record for "Life is Beautiful" foreign-language film with the most nominations at the Oscars with seven nominations.
In addition, "The Queen" and "Pan's Labyrinth" have six nominations each, while "The Departed" and "Letters from Iwo Jima" have five nominations each. A scuffle is imminent.
