Chapter 674 674 First Nomination

Hollywood has been quiet lately, and there doesn't seem to be any big news after the Golden Globes, and the news of Hugo and Joseph's big fight at the "Schindler's List" gala dinner didn't even show a bubble.

The most lively news is the identity of the black hand behind the ticket gate and the industry's cancerous female producer. The speculation about this female producer has never stopped, but the insiders are secretive, and the parties have not revealed any clues, so the news media If you want to dig out the truth, you can't find an entry point for a while.

In addition, people's speculation about the 66th Oscar nomination list is the hottest focus, whether Hugo can achieve a breakthrough and win the first acting nomination in his career; Steven Spielberg Whether it can continue to be strong and continue to shine at the Oscars; how much attention will "Schindler's List" get, and how will "Farewell to Love", which will re-enter the public eye at the end of January, will perform... …These discussions have undoubtedly become the latest discussions after dinner.

This situation was not broken until February 9, when Arthur Hiller, the director of "Love. Story" and "The. Hospital", teamed up to rely on " "Little confused tears (Swing. Shift)" Christine Lahti, who was nominated for the 57th Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, attended the announcement of the 66th Academy Award nomination list together. Ceremony, announcing the high-profile nominees.

The most eye-catching works in this Oscar nomination stage are undoubtedly the two films "Schindler's List" and "Farewell to Lovers", as well as "In the Name of Father" and "Farewell to the Piano", which were well-received After the nomination list was announced, it also showed this situation.

"Schindler's List", "Farewell to Love", "In the Name of My Father", and "Farewell to the Piano" all made it into the nominations list for the best film, plus the "Desperate World" who completed the counterattack as a commercial film ”, which constitutes the final top five nominated.

The upset of "Desperados" also became the most surprising presence in the nomination list. This film, which was a huge success at the box office, reversed Martin Scorsese's performance when no one was optimistic. "The Age of Innocence" and the critically acclaimed "Skinny Daddy" were among the best picture Oscar nominees. You know, "Desperados" didn't even get a nomination at the Golden Globe Awards for the best film in the drama category and musical comedy category. This is definitely a shocking upset.

The same situation has also been verified in the nominations for best director. Robert Altman won the nomination by relying on "Short. Cuts" and won the qualification to compete for the best director golden man. Robert replaced It is the position of "Desperados" director Andrew Davis (Andrew. Davis), and the directors of the other four best films have also been nominated, "Schindler's List" Steven Spielberg Grid, "Farewell to the Piano" Jane - Epien, "Farewell to Love" James - Ivory, "In the Name of the Father" Jim - Sheridan (Jim. Sheridan).

It is worth mentioning that Jane Epien became the first woman in Oscar history to be nominated for best director, which is also a historic breakthrough.

In addition to Best Picture and Best Director, the nominations for the four acting departments are undoubtedly the ones that people are most concerned about. "In the Name of the Father" won three of the four nominations, Best Actor, Best Actor The supporting role and the best supporting actress have become the most shining existence.

Emma Thompson, after winning the Oscar-winning actress with "Howard Manor" last year, once again demonstrated her strong strength today, relying on "Farewell to the Love of God" to be among the best actress competition, and at the same time relying on "Because of my father's love". "Name" snatched a nomination for Best Supporting Actress and is now the most popular actress.

In addition, Hawley-Hunter also relied on "Piano Farewell" and "Sugar-Coated Trap" to win the competition for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. This is one of the few double nominations in Oscar history. As soon as they appeared, two people came, which can be said to be born out of nowhere.

Among the four acting departments, the most talked-about is undoubtedly the prospect of Hugo, the extremely talented actor's Oscar experience has always been full of controversy. First, "Dead Poets Society" in 1989 missed the most Nominated for Best Supporting Actor, and then last year's "Scent and Knowing a Woman" and "Righteous Sea Heroes" were both ignored by the Oscars. Hugo has made many amazing performances in his career, but he has never been able to get the favor of the Oscars. , not even a single nomination, which is really baffling.

This year Hugo seems to be facing such a situation again. "Sleepless in Seattle" and "Schindler's List" once again proved Hugo's amazing talent and outstanding performance in acting, but the former is limited by the subject matter, it is difficult to Standing out in a fiercely competitive Best Actor competition; the latter was undoubtedly the highest performance of Hugo's career to date, but was tragically ignored at the Golden Globes, which also left people scratching their heads.

But this time, Hugo finally managed to keep the clouds open and see the moon. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences did not once again ignore the great potential of this rising star, although there was still no place for Hugo in the competition for the best actor. , the comedy theme of "Sleepless in Seattle" still limited the further development of the awards season, but the Oscar still left Hugo a place in the top five seats for the best supporting actor.

In fact, the Academy is also very clear that if they continue to ignore Hugo's excellent performance, it will be a serious injury to the authority and prestige of the Academy. It is conceivable that if there is still no Hugo in the nomination list this time, The crusade of the entire public opinion circle will be very terrible.

Fortunately, the Academy didn't let that happen.

The nominations for Best Supporting Actor went to Tommy Lee Jones of "Desperados", Leonardo DiCaprio of "A Different Sky", and John Malkovich of "Sniper" , "In the Name of the Father" Pete - Postlethwaite (Pete. Postlethwaite), and "Schindler's List" Hugo - Lancaster.

Comparing this nomination list with the Golden Globe Awards, Pitt of "In the Name of the Father" replaced Sean Penn of "Dawn of the Love Owl", which is undoubtedly the biggest bright spot, and also let people see the Academy Award "In the Name of the Father" Name" the determination of this work. But even so, Hugo stole everyone's attention.

Since his appearance on the big screen in 1982, Hugo has relied on solid performances and dazzling talent to reach the audience step by step. Knowing a Woman" and many other outstanding works, until today, he has finally gained his recognition by virtue of the role of the cold-blooded, terrifying and evil Amon Goss in "Schindler's List".

Although it is only an Oscar nomination at present, this is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of Hugo's efforts and persistence.

Hugo's performance in "Schindler's List" received unanimous praise and is widely regarded as the best performance of his actor career, even in the long history. , the nomination is a deserved reward for Hugo, and at the same time, Hugo is also the most powerful candidate in the competition for the best supporting actor.

Before that, Tommy of "Desperados" was undoubtedly Hugo's biggest competitor. His upset win at the Golden Globes made many people feel embarrassed, so Hugo and Tommy's competition for the Oscar also became The biggest point of view. In addition, Leonardo's astonishing performance in "a different sky" also made people lament that the nineteen-year-old boy was born, and whether he could complete the final reversal is also considered a Looking forward to one.

Not only the best supporting actor, but also in the competition for the best actor, Tom Hanks in "Philadelphia Story", Liam Neeson in "Schindler's List", and Anthony Huo in "Farewell to Love". The competition between Pukins, "In the Name of the Father" Daniel Day-Lewis, and "What to Do with Love" Laurence Fishburne (Laurence. Fishburne) is undoubtedly the focus of everyone's expectations.

Emma Thompson in the Best Actress competition for the second year in a row, and Anna Paquin, who was only eleven years old in the Best Supporting Actress department, won the nomination by relying on "Farewell to the Piano". to watch.

It is foreseeable that this year's competition in the Oscar acting department will be particularly eye-catching.

The great success of the two works at the Oscars assisted the recognition of the North American film market and pushed Steven's career to the peak.
