Chapter 1442 1442 The Joy of Nomination

The 68th Oscar no doubt attracted a lot of attention, but the reason is different from last year's "Pulp Fiction", "Forrest Gump" and "The Shawshank Redemption". This year's Oscars are bound to be because of Hugo's Strong momentum has become the focus. Hugo has provided delicate and real, wonderful and terrifying performances in the three works of "Before the Sunrise", "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Death Row", which has become the winningest in acting skills in the past year. Most watched actor.

People often say that excellent word of mouth, strong momentum, and high popularity often become a stumbling block, especially in a situation like Hugo that gathers thousands of praises, maybe it will stimulate people's rebellious psychology, but they are unwilling to give rain. or vote with the idea of ​​"Hugo is so powerful, others will definitely vote for him, I will support the second place, such as Nicholas"; or the competition between Hugo and Nicholas is too fierce , appeared too often to be offensive, and voted for the third competitor... This often created an upset.

This sentence is especially obvious this year. The momentum of Hugo's three works in a year is rising, almost giving people the illusion that "it's not just Hugo", which makes Hugo's call for winning the award. Unprecedented apex. As a result, the Golden Globes gave Hugo a slap in the face, causing a sudden change in Oscar's wind direction.

Therefore, the trend of the Oscar for Best Actor has also become the biggest suspense of this awards ceremony.

However, at least as can be seen from the Oscar nomination list, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is obviously very satisfied with Hugo's performance in the past year, and has also given great affirmation in the nomination stage, with the top five nominations for Best Supporting Actor. In the middle, I saw Hugo's name again!

Outstanding performance in "Seven Deadly Sins" earned Hugo a spot in the Best Supporting Actor competition, and the Golden Globe suspense will continue to the Oscars as Brad Pitt in "Twelve Monkeys" , which earned him the first Oscar nomination of his career.

The battle between Hugo and Brad is bound to become another point of view at the Oscars. What’s even more interesting is that Hugo won the nominations for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor at the same time, and the vote-sharing crisis has reached an unprecedented level. The height of Matthew of "Death Ramble" and Anonymous of "Seven Deadly Sins" are better or worse, such an unsolvable problem finally appeared at the Oscars, and the academy judges will face the dilemma of war between heaven and man.

If people want Hugo to beat Brad, the votes are concentrated in the supporting actor department, which means that Hugo will miss the best actor; if people focus on choosing "Death Ramble", does that mean that Brad will also hold himself up The first golden statue of ; if the votes are divided too seriously, is it possible that "Hugo returns empty-handed and Brad wins the competition"?

Of course, in addition to Hugo and Brad, the other three contenders for Best Supporting Actor are also not to be underestimated, Kevin Spacey of "The Usual Suspects" and Ed Harry of "Apollo 13" James, "Pig Baby" James Cromwell (James. Cromwell) were nominated.

Compared with the other three acting departments, the list of nominations for the best supporting actress has changed a lot, Mira Sorvino of "Non-powerful Spring. Medicine", Catherine Quinan of "Apollo 13" and "Sense and Sensibility"'s Kate Winslet joined hands, while the final two seats went to "Nixon Biography"'s Joan Allen and "Georgia"'s Mea Winningham. Mare. Winningham) took away, which really surprised many people - there is a huge difference with the Golden Globe.

It is worth mentioning that Kate, who is only 20 years old, was shortlisted for the competition in this department by relying on the outstanding performance of "Sense and Sensibility", which complements Charlize who was shortlisted for the best actress competition, and the strong rise of young actresses also Become a beautiful landscape in the nomination list.

However, after the Oscar nomination list came out, the biggest subversion for the previous Golden Globes was in the screenwriting department. Although the Golden Globes used six nomination seats to reward the efforts of the screenwriters, but in the Oscar for best adapted screenplay and best original Among the ten seats in the two departments of the script, only three seats fit, which is really a big surprise.

Among the best adapted screenplays, "Sense and Sensibility", "Baby Pig", "Far From Casino", "The Postman" and "Apollo 13" won the nominations respectively; and among the best original screenplays, "The Very Suspects" ", "Braveheart", "Before Sunrise", "Nixon Biography" and "Toy Story" rounded out the final five.

The biggest surprise in the list is undoubtedly the figures of Emma Thompson and Hugo, two talented actresses who were born in prestigious schools and whose literary qualities have been unanimously recognized. , which is also Hugo's second consecutive year of recognition in screenwriting after "The Shawshank Redemption".

Looking at the entire list, people suddenly found that Hugo actually won three nominations. Like the Golden Globes, he swept two nominations in the actor department, and was affirmed in the original script department, winning an unprecedented three nominations. Created the era of Hugo.

Hugo's strong momentum reminds people of Emma Thompson, who has been very active in recent years. Emma won double nominations at the Oscars twice the year before and this year - but for reference, Emma was in the previous year. The double nominations were all lost. Although there are many reasons, the vote-distribution crisis is definitely one of them.

Hugo has won three nominations this year. Although the nomination data is extremely successful, perhaps behind the success is the crisis of returning empty-handed. But no matter what the final result is, Hugo's Oscar nomination stage can be described as infinite glory. The double nomination for acting skills and the nomination for the best original screenplay continued the momentum of sweeping the Golden Globe Awards and pushed Hugo's career forward in one fell swoop. The absolute peak, which is also an important reason why it is generally believed that Hugo's 1995 is not inferior to 1994.

From the perspective of works, "Braveheart" leads with ten nominations, three major nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Sound Editing, Best Makeup, Seven technical nominations, including Best Costume Design, Best Sound, Best Film Editing, and Best Dramatic Score, followed closely behind. Although it was absent from the competition for the four major acting awards, it made this work one of the year's best. Oscar's biggest hit.

"Apollo 13" followed closely, not to be outdone with nine nominations, best picture, best supporting actor, best supporting actress, and best adapted screenplay. The failure of the best director will undoubtedly become a flaw. In addition, the technical departments such as the best art direction, the best visual effects, the best drama soundtrack, the best movie editing, and the best sound will also face off with "Braveheart".

"Baby Pig" and "Sense and Sensibility" both received seven nominations for the Golden Globes. The former was a comedy and the latter was not nominated for best director, which also made the two works competitive in the Oscars. Straight down, although the performance is still good, but it is obviously starting to cool down.

Oscar presents a completely different scene from the Golden Globes. Instead of "Baby Pig" against "Sense and Sensibility", "Braveheart" against "Apollo 13" has become the main theme. In the end, who will die is a huge question mark.

Among them, "The Postman" and "Death Ramble", which have won five nominations respectively, are undoubtedly the biggest highlights.

As an Italian work, "The Postman" has never been given enough attention before, and it didn't even get a nomination at the Golden Globe Awards, but it won Best Foreign Language Film, Best Actor, Best Actor at the Oscars. Nominations for five major awards, including Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Drama Score, were included in the bag. It was definitely a dark horse in the nomination stage, and it became a hot topic of discussion in an instant.

The "Death Row", which has received a lot of attention before this, is one step closer, with the five most important nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Original Song, allowing it to compete The power directly broke the table. Although the overall momentum is not comparable to "Braveheart" and "Apollo 13", especially missing the nomination for the best adapted screenplay is very embarrassing, but it is still one of the strong contenders.

In addition, "Away from Casino", known as the "death row" rival, performed absolutely strongly, with four nominations for Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay, and especially the Best Actor, Best Actor and Best Actor nominations. In the rear department, the sparkling confrontation between these two works has attracted everyone's attention. Compared with "Braveheart" and "Apollo 13", the competition between these two works is the most intense in the acting department. of.

In addition, "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Before Sunrise" have also received corresponding recognition.

In addition to the best supporting actor, "Seven Deadly Sins" also won three nominations, including best cinematography, best sound, and best film editing. With a total of four nominations, the data is on par with "Away from the Casino", and its performance is also insignificant. Not inferior; "Before Sunrise" won the most important Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay, and was nominated for Best Musical Comedy Score, and three nominations are still a good result - especially It is really not easy for the works that were released early last January and have not been forgotten by film critics so far.

Hugo's three works this year handed in twelve nominations, from box office to word of mouth to awards, ushered in a full explosion, no matter what kind of results Hugo will get at the Oscars, this There is no doubt that a year has been the pinnacle of the Hugos.

Oscar gave a very different answer from the Golden Globe Award during the nomination stage, which made the Hollywood Foreign Press Association face no face, but this is only a nomination, and the attribution of the award is still unknown, and the performance of each work in the Oscar is also highly anticipated. Can Hugo's strong momentum blossom and bear fruit?

This question mark, let people wait and see.
