The 79th Oscars can be said to be the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, where a hundred schools of thought contend and a group of heroes competes; then the 80th Oscars can be said to be the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, which are divided into powerful and powerful enemies. This is still a chaotic awards season, perhaps not as complicated and tragic as last year, but the level of chaos is still dazzling, especially when the screenwriters quit their jobs, casting a shadow over the awards season, it seems The whole situation became unclear.

​​

Overall, this year's awards season presents a situation in which the first group competes against each other and the second group competes fiercely.

​​

There is no doubt that the three-legged confrontation is "Nowhere for the Old", "The Blood Will Come" and "Atonement".

​​

"No Country for Old Men" has been well received since the Cannes Film Festival. This film is hailed as the best work ever made by the Coen Brothers. "Atonement" gathers the most favorite themes of the academic school: World War II, epic, tragedy, which has won it a strong reputation as "the second 'British patient'", showing strong competitiveness; " "Blood is coming" is long overdue, and the phrase "21st Century's 'Citizen Kane'" is not enough to describe the love of the entire public opinion circle for this work, and many people have even promoted this work as a masterpiece the throne.

​​

As soon as these three works appeared on the stage, they showed extreme competitiveness in a state of swallowing mountains and rivers, and they easily formed the first group.

​​

In the camp of the second group, there are some battles from last year. The group of heroes rises together, and the difference in strength between them is not obvious, but they cannot shake the position of the first group. They can only play the role of a dark horse. I look forward to following the awards The progress of the season can be reversed step by step. In this group, six works including "Sweeney Todd", "Wilderness Survival", "Michael Clayton", "American Gangster", "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly", and "Tower Killing" have advantages to each other and disadvantages.

​​

"Sweeney Todd," a collaboration between Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, showed the momentum of last year's "Dreamgirls", but was at a box office disadvantage.

​​

Although the "Wild Survival" launched by Evan Bell is a sketch, it has always shown strong combat effectiveness in word of mouth and box office. The theme is the only restraint. It's a cloud over your head.

​​

"Michael Clayton" is led by "Mr. Hollywood" George Clooney. Both the subject matter and the actors are a sing-song, but unfortunately it is too entertaining but fails to win the box office; "American Gangster" is in star, It has achieved impressive results in terms of box office and other aspects, but it is a pity that it will be fatal if the word of mouth falls behind.

​​

"The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" tells the story of Jean-Dominique Bobby, the editor-in-chief of a French fashion magazine, who was suddenly paralyzed and lost all motor functions. He only had one eye to move, but he insisted on writing his own memoirs, stories, themes, The themes are undoubtedly dominant, with the only downsides being the same as last year's "Perfume" -- a French-dialogue film; and "Tower Killing," a Toronto-based film about a forty-year-old who experiences pregnancy and trauma. The death of a Russian girl who suffered from dystocia, her death triggered a series of reflections on the gangsters, but it is a pity that the entire film is too small in size and the theme is not as well explored.

​​

The three works of the first group and the six works of the second group constitute the competition camp of this year's awards season. These nine works will compete fiercely in the main awards of best picture and best director. As for the best actor and actress, script and other awards, they are basically produced in these nine works, and occasionally there are other works that are very outstanding in individual items to join the competition.

​​

In mid-January, the canceled 65th Golden Globe Awards announced the list of winners in a press conference, bringing to a close the entire awards season. And this time, the Golden Globe Awards have also been criticized, not only because of the grandstanding of the TV station, but also because of the whole list of winners.

​​

The best drama film went to "Atonement", the best musical comedy film was awarded to "Sweeney Todd", and the best director went to Evan Bell.

​​

In this list, Evan Bell is the biggest surprise, and he has also become the youngest winner of the best director in the history of the Golden Globe Awards; and "Atonement" is the biggest trick-because it only won this An award, such a polished result, is very similar to last year's Grammys for Evan Bell.

​​

Best Actor in a Drama Series for Leonardo DiCaprio, Best Actor in a Comedy Musical for Johnny Depp, Best Actress in a Drama Series for Julie Christie, Best Musical Comedy heroine goes to Marion Cotillard.

There is no big surprise in this list of winners. It can only be said to be quite satisfactory. In the competition for the best actor in the drama category, Leonardo DiCaprio defeated Evan Bell to win the award. Last year it was the other way around, and it was a funny thing.

​​

When the Golden Globes came to an end, the situation of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms throughout the awards season was basically formed. The seats of the first group and the second group are basically determined, and these nine works will also have the most violent impact on the Oscars.

​​

In the competition for best picture throughout awards season, "No Country For Old Men" won the National Critics Association Award and six Film Critics Association Awards, and "There Will Be Blood" won the North American Broadcasting Film Critics Association Award and four Film Critics Association Awards. "Atonement" only won the Ballon d'Or.

​​

From this, we can see why it is a foolish move to say that "Atonement" won the Golden Globe Award. Judging from the whole awards season, "Atonement" won the praise of film critics, but it stopped at nominations, and failed to even stop at the Film Critics Association, which made "The Second 'British Patient'" gradually become "The Second 'British Patient'". 'Cold Mountain'". Among the troikas, "Atonement" has no problem winning the nomination, but the whole pace has become a little messy, and it can no longer continue to follow the pace of "No Country for Old Men" and "Blood is Coming".

​​

In addition, among the five major unions of producers, directors, actors, screenwriters, and editors, "No Country for Old Men", "Blood Will Come" and "Atonement" all won nominations, but "No Country For Old Men" was nominated in the producers' union and editors' union. The union won, "Blood Will Come" won the director's union, the actors' union and the screenwriter's union, and "Atonement" got nothing.

​​

It is worth mentioning that the Producers Guild commended "Nowhere for the Old", while the Directors Guild, Actors Guild, and Screenwriters Guild joined forces to stand on the side of "Blood is Coming". It cannot be denied that strength is part of the reason, but the screenwriters The impact of the strike is still very clear.

​​

The second group was almost invisible in the list of winners during the competition for the best film. These six films were all shortlisted for major nominations, but they were unable to win the award, which is why this batch of works ranked No. 1 The reason for the second group: It has a clear advantage over other competitors and can win the nomination, but it is very difficult to beat the first group to break through the siege. Near the end of the awards season, "Atonement" is also slipping from the first group to the second group, and this trajectory can be seen from the probability of winning.

​​

"Sweeney Todd" ended up winning the Golden Globes, and was only nominated at the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild, which is really not a good sign; the same goes for "American Gangster" and "Tower", just The Film Critics Association has entered the nomination list at several stations, and the overall situation is not good.

​​

"Michael Clayton," "Wild Survival," and "The Diving Bell and Butterfly" in the second group had a slight edge, with "Michael Clayton" winning the National Critics Association Award, Producer Nominations by the union, "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" won the nominations at the ABC Awards and the Producers Guild, and "Survival in the Wild" won the most nominations at the ABC Awards and the Screen Actors Guild.

​​

So after sorting out the situation, we can see that "Blood Is Coming" and "No Country for Old Men" stood out and became the favorites to win. "Michael-Clayton", "Wild Survival", "Diving Bell and Butterfly" are slightly behind, but still have a little advantage, especially "Atonement" still has a small amount of domineering of the first group, the advantage will be bigger; Finally, "Sweeney Todd", "American Gangster" and "Murder Tower" wait for the opportunity.

​​

The same situation is actually the case in the director department. Evan Bell and the Coen brothers lead the way, and the rest of the works have their own advantages and disadvantages. Of course, the director's department also considers different objects than the best film. Evan Bell's age has once again become a disadvantage in the director's department, and the two excellent works of "Blood Will Come" and "Wild Survival" are added at the same time. Competition can be said to be an advantage or a disadvantage, and Evan Bell is currently half a position behind in the competition with the Coen brothers.

​​

Compared with the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms situation of the best picture and the best director, the complexity of the best actor, actress and supporting roles is not much different.

​​

In addition to the nine-seeded contestants from the first group and the second group, the male actor department will also add Ryan Gosling from "Love of Inflatable Dolls", Frank Langella from "Night Departure", and "Assassination of Gunslinger". "Casey - Affleck, "Charlie's War" Philip - Seymour - Hoffman and others, can join the best actor or best supporting actor competition.

​​

The actress department is a little more chaotic, because the seed players of the first group and the second group are all men, which leads to the best actress and the best supporting actress almost all the strange faces, "become Jane -Austin", "Magic Romance", "The Willows", "Rose Life", "I'm Not There", "The Savage Family", "Strong Heart" and other works can all contribute to the actress acting awards candidate.

​​

And when the nominations for the 80th Oscars came out, it also confirmed the continuation of the chaos throughout the awards season. The continuation of the third Oscar after Sid Ganis took office has undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention.
