Today's first update, please recommend, please subscribe!

​​

On January 22, the nominees for the 81st Academy Awards were officially announced under eager attention, and this also pushed the 2008 awards season to the hottest key point.

​​

The eight seeded contestants of the first group of best picture who were deadlocked throughout the awards season competed until the very last moment before the winner was decided in a thrilling manner, causing an uproar in the entire public opinion circle.

​​

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," "Juno," "Slumdog Millionaire," "Milk," "Batman: The Dark Knight" finally stood out, earning an Oscar nomination for Best Picture, which also brought cadets The non-mainstream road has been followed to the end, and there is quite a bit of persistence in not giving up until the goal is achieved.

​​

The 81st Oscars continued the invincible reform momentum of the past three years. Among the top five contestants for best picture, "Juno", "Slumdog Millionaire" and "The Dark Knight" were all atypical awards. Ji's works, whether it is the subject matter, shooting technique, or movie theme, are not the dishes of the academy, but in the end, these three top players have created miracles; even if "Milk" tells the biographical historical works, **** The subject matter is still not the favorite of the Academy, which also makes "Milk" the second **** work to enter the Oscar finals after "Brokeback Mountain".

​​

Among the five nominated works, only "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is a masterpiece of traditional academy taste, and this "Forrest Gump"-style epic work has also become the most atmospheric and most atmospheric among the top five contestants. Works with the appearance of a king.

​​

When the top five contestants finished standing out, it was also accompanied by the fall of a series of works. "Fox Talking to Nixon", a work that was sure to be in the final stage in previous years, tells the story of Nixon, one of the most controversial presidents in American history. The story turned out to be a lore under the situation of this year's skit counterattack: "Robot Wall-E" has an excellent reputation against the sky, but in the end it was not able to break the shackles of cartoons, but compared to the breakthrough of "Dark Knight", "Robot Wall" The loss of "Power" allowed people to accept the result calmly; "The Hurt Locker" fell short in the final stage, and even the outstanding results in the awards season have not been able to complete the big reversal.

​​

It is worth mentioning that the "Life and Death Reading" produced by The Weinstein Company made a strong effort in the final stage, catching up all the way from the second group. The best actress, the best adapted screenplay and other major departments have completely fought back, which makes the scandal that "Oscar is the Weinstein family business" continues to circulate, and people simply say that this is "Weinstein's little golden man". It is called a major scandal in the history of the college's public relations - it is worth mentioning that the "life and death reading" in the last life has been reversed. But in the end, such a situation did not appear, which also allowed the college to retain its final face.

​​

When the best picture list came out, some people were angry about the loss of "Robot Wall-E", some people were angry about the burial of "The Hurt Locker", some people were celebrating the victory of "The Dark Knight", and some people were cheering for "Zhu Zhu". "No"-style miracle burst into tears... It was indeed a tragic victory.

​​

Evan Bell couldn't help but be a little astonished when he saw the nomination for the best picture. After all, Eleven Studio was not able to create a new shield history - it is not so easy for three works to enter the final stage at the same time. After the 82nd Oscar Best Picture "The Hurt Locker" was released one year ahead of schedule, even the final ticket was not available. But compared to the failure of "The Hurt Locker", and even compared to the finalists of "Juno" and "Slumdog Millionaire", Evan Bell is most excited that the "Dark Knight" won the nomination, This is bound to be another feat for Sid-Ganes in the academy chair!

​​

As a comic hero commercial blockbuster, "The Dark Knight" has actually become an award from the academy. The nomination is an unprecedented admiration. This immediately became the focus of overwhelming attention from the major media, even the ten who won two seats again. None of the studios have been able to steal the "Dark Knight" style.

​​

The best picture pattern of the 81st Oscars has finally settled, with two seats in Eleven Studios and one seat in Focus Pictures, which is the camp of independent film companies; Paramount and Warner Bros. each occupy one seat, which is It's the camp of the big movie companies. Works come first, as long as the work has enough strength, it is worthy of praise, which also makes the Oscar selection aesthetic officially enter the track!

​​

The fierce battle for best picture has moved to the best director position, but there have been some changes, with "Juno"'s Evan Bell, "Slumdog Millionaire"'s Danny Ball, "Milk"'s Jia. S-Van Sant and David Fincher of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" tied for best picture and made the final five; Gros completed the last-minute overtake, replacing Christopher Nolan of "The Dark Knight", and formed the best director nomination lineup with four other directors.

​​

In this nomination list for best director, there are two key points. The first is the loss of Christopher Nolan. It can be seen that the Academy's awards for the "Dark Knight" are still conservative and have not been able to follow through. It also caused professional film critics to fight against Christopher Nolan. At the same time, it also means that the "Dark Knight" is one position behind in the competition for the best film, and there is no work in history that has won the best director nomination and won the best film. There are only three films: "Wings" in the first session, "Grand Hotel" in the fifth session, and "Driving for Miss Daisy" in the 62nd session. Aside from the first two works in the early days of the Oscars, there are only Once exceptional, is The Dark Knight good enough to be exceptional again? Obviously the future is not good.

​​

The second point is not Catherine Bigelow's counterattack, but the fall of Lang Howard. Compared to the shock of "Fox Talks Nixon" not being nominated for Best Picture, Ron Howard was not able to beat any of David Fincher or Danny Ball or Garth Van Sant in Best Picture. The director's nomination list quietly disappeared. What does this mean? It means that the five directors who finally made it to the director finals are all non-mainstream. Even David Fincher, who filmed the mainstream "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", is also a non-mainstream director. This situation is definitely Oscar history. The rarest scene ever.

​​

The best original screenplay presents a pattern of strong players such as "Juno", "Robot Wall-E", "The Hurt Locker", "Milk" and "Careless"; the best adapted screenplay is "Slumdog Hundreds". Millionaire", "The Dark Knight", "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", "Life and Death", "Fox Talks Nixon". It can be said that both the original department and the adaptation department have shown unprecedented fierce competition this year, and the overall quality of the nominated works ranks first in history!

​​

After the appearance of the nominations for the best actor, it also made people realize that this is a fierce competition. Evan Bell of "The Dark Knight", Sean Penn of "Milk", and Mickey Rourke of "The Wrestler" These three top players made it to the nomination list without any suspense, and Jeremy Renner of "The Hurt Locker" lived up to expectations. He fought a **** road in front of many seniors and won his first nomination.

​​

The last seat is for everyone to break their glasses, Clint Eastwood, who gave another great performance in "Classic Car", and Frank who vividly recreates Nixon in "Foster Talks Nixon" A Langella both lost, but Brad Pitt in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" completed the reversal at the last minute and won the last place in the nomination list, which also became the best picture and best director. A hot topic.

​​

People compare the failure of Clint Eastwood and Frank Langella to the "Robot Wall-E" and "The Hurt Locker" who failed in the most rumored film. The voice of disappointment can be said to be endless. But in the final analysis, the fierce competition for the best actor is not trivial, and it is estimated that any other seeded player will face such a situation.

​​

It is no surprise that the competition for best actress has fallen into the same pattern, Anne Hathaway of "Rachel's Wedding", Angelina Jolie of "Breakthrough", Ellen of "Juno" - Paige, Meryl Streep from Child Abuse and Melissa Leo from Frozen River won.

​​

Kristin Scott Thomas of "Love You Forever", who was always in the first group during awards season, and Kate Winslet of "Revolutionary Road" both lost Achieved "Frozen" The reversal at the last moment of the "River of the River" also made the denounced comments incessant.

​​

Although the top five players in the Best Supporting Actor category stood out in the awards season, they still broke out on the Oscar nomination list. Robert Downey Jr. of "Tropic Thunder" and Josh Blow of "Milk" Lin and James Franco, Philip, Seymour, and Hoffman of "Child Abuse Suspicion" successfully took the place, but Dave Patel of "Slumdog Millionaire" failed to win. Michael-Nong of "Revolutionary Road" replaced the last position, and the final nomination of the top five was still a melee.

​​

Relatively speaking, the seven sisters in the Best Supporting Actress department are the most calm, Penelope Cruz in "Midnight Barcelona", Kate Winslet in "Life and Death", Jennifer Garner in "Juno", Marisa-Tomei of "Wrestler" and Amy-Adams of "Wrestler" were shortlisted. And Viola Davis, who is "suspected of child abuse", although it still makes countless people feel embarrassed, but compared to the shock of other major departments, the impact of the supporting actress is not so strong.
