Chapter 2171 Chapter 2171

Similar to the competition for best actor, there is not much suspense in the list of nominations for best actress, Hilary Swank for "Boys Don't Cry" and Janet for "Tumbleweeds". McTeer), Julianne Moore of "Until It Ends," Meryl Streep of "Music. Of. The. Heart" and Julia Roberts of "Notting Hill," They were shortlisted for the final five.

This year's competitiveness is even weaker than last year's. Hillary can basically be said to be thriving. She has many similarities with Charlize in last year's "Female Devil". "Boys Don't Cry" is also about Gay works, and she also gave an applauding performance, but Hillary's character thickness and performance quality are still slightly inferior to Charlize, but this is enough to make her lead this year's competition, except for Jenny. Apart from some shocks, the overall performance and quality of the works of the other three candidates are inferior in comparison. This also continued the overall situation of the awards year.

From the Best Actor and Best Actress divisions, it can be seen that the impact of the five candidates for the best picture in these two awards is relatively weak—at least they did not form a strong confrontation last year. This also affects the selection of the best picture. In the case of extremely close overall strengths, the final direction of the Oscars is full of countless possibilities.

The same situation also appeared in the supporting role department, but relatively speaking, the chaotic pattern of the supporting role department has formed a more intense competition, and the highlights even surpass the leading role department.

In the Best Supporting Actor category, Michael Caine for "The Cider House Rules," Tom Cruise for "Magnolia," Leonardo DiCaprio for "A Beautiful Mind," Haley Joe Osment of "Six Senses" and Jude Law of "The Talented Ripley" were shortlisted for the awards.

Among these five seats, Michael had already won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor 13 years ago. Leonardo and Tom had both won nominations before. The show has returned to the ranks of competition; Haley and Jude are both nominated for the first time, but the two contestants have shown strong competitiveness in various aspects such as performance quality and work appeal.

In fact, before the Oscars, Haley was the loudest in calling for the award. In 1993, Anna Paquin, who was only eight years old, won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for "Farewell to the Piano", and Hailey, who is only eleven years old now, is naturally capable of winning the award. But given the peculiarities of the Best Supporting Actor division, and other strong competitors, Haley's voice is not so loud.

Tom's performance in "Magnolia" this time can be said to go all out. Many people think that this performance is better than his previous performances in "Born on the Fourth of July" and "Mr. Sweetheart". Qualifications for the award: Leonardo made everyone's eyes shine. The William Parcher he portrayed was authentic, delicate and rich. More importantly, he showed ordinary acting skills without crutches, and his performance was excellent. Many people have compared him to Robert De Niro.

Therefore, the competition for Best Supporting Actor can be said to be on thin ice. Except for Jude, who is relatively weak, it is not a surprise that the other four candidates will win the award.

The same is true for the Best Supporting Actress department. Charlize Theron of "A Beautiful Mind" and Chloe Sevigny of "Boys Don't Cry" were shortlisted for the final nominations.

Except for Colo's relatively weak performance, who was shortlisted more based on the influence of his work, the other four competitors are definitely strong contenders. On the whole, Charlize has just won two trophies in the past two years, and she is only 24 years old this year, so she is out early. Angelina, Toni and Catherine will compete fiercely. At present, Angelina appears to have taken the lead.

Angelina doesn’t like Hugo, it can even be said that she hates him. She has publicly expressed her dislike of Hugo in the media more than once, “He is like a cold and viscous poisonous snake, which makes people not like it at all. .” This also caused a lot of controversy, but Angelina still went her own way.

After winning the Oscar nomination this time, she restrained herself a little bit, but when the situation was good, she still jokingly said, "I would like to have a taste of beating Charlize Theron." Show She is full of self-confidence.

Relatively speaking, this year's script department has both surprises and disappointments.

In the best original screenplay department, Charlie Kaufman of "Puppet Life", Paul Thomas Anderson of "Magnolia", and M-Nate Shyamalan of "The Sixth Sense" are strong leaders. The fierce rivalry between the two is exciting, and relatively speaking, Mike Lee of "Topsy. Turvy" and Woody Allen of "Sweet and Lowly" are slightly less surprising-but almost every time Mr. Woody, who can win nominations for original screenplays, will always be an existence that cannot be underestimated.

Competition for best adapted screenplay was fierce, with John Irwin for "The Cider House Rules," Hugo Lancaster for "A Beautiful Mind," Frank Darabont for "Green Miracle," and "The Insider." Michael Mann of "The Talented Ripley" and Anthony Minghella of "The Talented Ripley" entered the final battle.

Except for "The Talented Ripley", the other top four are just the contestants for the best picture. It can be seen that this year is a great year for adaptation, and the "Genius Ripley" is not weak, although In the midst of super high voices, it failed to take a step closer, but the nomination for the best adapted screenplay still affirmed its strength.

From the overall height of the movie, looking at the entire Oscar nomination list, "A Beautiful Mind" led the way with nine nominations. The awards season of today is becoming more and more unclear-even if it leads the nomination list, the prospect of "A Beautiful Mind" in the Oscars is still unclear, and no one knows when the reverse effect of "Hollywood cancer" will break out. What's more, last year's "Shakespeare in Love" strongly led the entire awards season but was overthrown at the last moment, which is still vivid in my mind.

Despite this, "A Beautiful Mind" still showed its top seed in the nomination stage, with six awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Adapted Screenplay. All major awards were successfully shortlisted. Except for the absence of Best Actress due to the plot setting, the nomination rate was 100%. In addition, the three nominations for Best Film Editing, Best Soundtrack, and Best Cinematography were the icing on the cake.

As Hugo's producer, "A Beautiful Mind" once again demonstrated the perfect combination of business and art after "LA Confidential" and "As Good as It Gets", which is admirable. And Hugo's other work as the producer, "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality" has also been affirmed!

"The Sixth Sense of Spirituality" has won nominations in five categories including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Original Screenplay, except for Best Actor being snatched away by "A Beautiful Mind" In addition to the demeanor, the performance of other major awards is not inferior to "A Beautiful Mind", and the nomination of the Best Film Editing Award also affirms the overall quality of this work. With six nominations, it became the biggest dark horse in the Oscar nomination stage.

In terms of nominations, "Beautiful Inside" and "The Cider House Rules" are no doubt behind "A Beautiful Mind" with seven nominations.

"Shocking Insider" continued the strength of "LA Confidential" two years ago. It was nominated in four major departments including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay, plus Best Film Editing, The three nominations for best photography and best sound have become the second most popular work in the awards season after "A Beautiful Mind".

The overall momentum of "The Law of the Cider House" was slightly weaker, but the four nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay still performed well. The three nominations including best art direction are the icing on the cake.

"The Green Mile," the final entry in the Best Picture fray, received four nominations for Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Sound and Best Sound Editing. After missing the best director competition, he missed the best film editing award-it is also the only work among the five nominated works for the best picture that missed these two departments in a row, plus the four major acting awards. It can be said that the overall momentum of the "Miracle in the Green Mile" has been weakened by more than one step.

Replacing "The Green Mile" as the finalist for the Best Film Editing Award is "The Matrix". category awards, shine nominees list.

In addition, "Magnolia" received three nominations, and Paul Thomas Anderson surprised everyone again after "Boogie Nights"; "Puppet Life" also received three nominations, including Best Director and Best Supporting Actress and the best original screenplay, each of which is heavyweight; although "The Talented Prairie" is absent from the competition for the main awards, in addition to the best supporting actor and best adapted screenplay, the best soundtrack and best art direction , Best Costume Design and other three nominations, still let it get five nominations, surpassing the "Miracle in the Green Mile", and the winning voice is slightly ahead.

However, it can be seen from the entire nomination list that the three-legged pattern of "A Beautiful Mind", "The Inside Story" and "The Cider House Law" is more than one level weaker than last year, clearly showing the pattern of the award-giving year. . But no one cares, because even though it is a young year, there are still countless suspense-can "A Beautiful Mind" continue the strength of the top seed? Can the Hugos make history again? Can Charlize win three years in a row? What about the results of the supporting cast and screenwriting departments?

With all the attention, the 72nd Oscars has just begun!
