Chapter 675 675 Infinite Possibilities

After the 66th Oscar nominations were announced, Hugo was nominated for the first time in his acting career. This was undoubtedly one of the biggest topics. All the previous controversies and discussions were settled, and Hugo won the best actor award. Nominations for supporting roles, then, the focus of everyone's discussion is, can Hugo complete the counterattack and finally win the golden man for the best supporting actor?

Purely in terms of the thickness and splendor of the performance, Hugo's performance in "Schindler's List" is undoubtedly the top of all competitors, even in all the performances in 1993, it is one of the best. show. However, the pincer attack formed by Leonardo DiCaprio of "Different Sky" and Tommy Lee Jones of "Desperados" made the final winner covered with a layer of fog. , confusing, especially the performances of these two competitors in the works are not inferior to Hugo, which makes the final result of the awards ceremony more and more uncertain.

Of course, as an actor, Hugo only won a nomination, and in terms of topicality, it is naturally not as strong as the overall strength of the work.

"Schindler's List" has received twelve nominations, which is the focus of people's attention; at the same time, "Farewell to the Sentient Days" will also continue the confrontation situation that started in November to the Oscars. It can be seen that It can be concluded that Columbia Pictures has played a decisive role in the recent publicity strategy.

After the release of "Farewell to the Love of Love", it has experienced a continuous ups and downs process. From the very beginning, the word of mouth is booming, and almost everyone is praising this year's "Howard Manor". Director James Ivory contributed for the second consecutive year. The wonderful work has also continued the director's consistent excellent reputation; but after this, "Farewell to Youqingtian" fell into continuous negative news, and even directly led to the film having to be withdrawn from the theater, which once led to the film The prospect of a year-end awards ceremony was heavily clouded.

However, the subsequent adjustment policy of Columbia Pictures also showed an excellent background. While controlling the further spread of negative news, it once again arranged a small-scale screening of "Farewell to You Qingtian", relying on the strong strength of the work to gradually win the audience and the academy judges. 's heart. This is also a constant truth in society, hard power can always be recognized, all it needs is correct packaging and accurate marketing.

In the end, "Farewell to You Qingtian" achieved a reversal on the Oscar nomination list despite the dissatisfaction of the entire public opinion and word of mouth. After winning eight nominations, it became "Schindler's List". The most powerful opponent in the Oscar journey.

"Farewell to Love" won eight nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, and Best Score.

These eight nominations overlap with "Schindler's List" by seven. Except for Best Actress, all other nominations will go head-to-head with "Schindler's List". A life-and-death competition, as expected by the media, the confrontation between the two works has been fully formed, continuing the previous severe confrontation.

Whether in terms of subject matter or depth of thought, including completion, splendid performance, topicality, focus, etc., "Schindler's List" and "Farewell to You Qingtian" are undoubtedly the most in line with the tastes of the academy judges The standard and quality of the two are also in line with such a high level, and the formation of the entire confrontation situation is completely the will of the people.

From here, we can also see the viciousness of Tracy's eyes. Last year, after missing "Schindler's List", Tracy chose "farewell to the sentient days" after a short period of adjustment, whether it was Mike Nichols , or James Ivory, both showed a deep heritage, and Tracy was able to seize this opportunity to confront "Schindler's List", which also shows her great strength.

Last year's "Howard Manor" won nine nominations, and finally won three golden statuettes for Best Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Art Direction. This year, facing a more powerful "Schindler's List", James - What kind of performance Ivory's "Farewell to Sentient Heaven" will contribute is undoubtedly the biggest highlight.

Judging from the current situation, it is very difficult to complete the final reversal of "farewell to the sentient beings", but it is not impossible. The first is that as long as it is nominated, there are infinite possibilities; the second is that the overall strength of "Farewell to You Qingtian" also has enough background to compete with opponents.

So, with "Farewell to the Sentient Days" winning eight nominations, the 66th Academy Awards started to get interesting.

In addition to "Farewell to the Lovers", "Farewell to the Piano" has also become the biggest dark horse at this Oscar. This third work directed by female director Jane Campion won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. The recognition of the award was also unanimously praised by film critics at the major award ceremonies at the end of the year, and finally made a huge breakthrough at the Oscars and completed the transformation.

"Farewell to the Piano" also won eight nominations, and tied for second place with "Farewell to Love", becoming the most dazzling existence in the nomination stage after "Schindler's List", best film, best director, best Eight nominations, including Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, and Best Editing, make "Farewell to the Piano" almost a collection of favorites.

However, compared to "Farewell to You Qingtian", the impact of "Farewell to the Piano" on "Schindler's List" is obviously much weaker. On the one hand, it is because the competition of "Farewell to the Piano" is more focused on the best Actress, Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Screenplay are completely out of place with "Schindler's List"; on the other hand, because of Jane Campion's identity as a female director, winning the Best Director nomination is already a breakthrough , it is more difficult to form a confrontation further; in the end, there is still a gap due to the thickness of the subject matter itself.

But even so, the miracle "Piano Farewell" is still enough to impress everyone.

In addition to the three works of "Schindler's List", "Farewell to the Piano", and "Farewell to the Lovers", "In the Name of the Father" and "The End of the World" followed with seven nominations, the former in acting The competition for awards is strong, and the latter's dominance in Best Supporting Actor and Technology can't be ignored.

"Age of Innocence" and "Philadelphia Story" have five nominations each, but for "Age of Innocence", losing the best picture and best director nominations is undoubtedly a lonely journey; on the contrary, "The Philadelphia Story" "Without anyone noticing, it recreates the pomp of director Jonathan Demme's "Silence of the Lambs" two years ago.

In addition, commercial films such as "Jurassic Park", "Sniper in the Line of Fire", "Heroes of the Mountain", and "Sugar-Coated Trap" have also been nominated for recognition. "Daddy" returned empty-handed, and the weakness of comedy movies is still powerless to change.

However, whether it is the nomination of the technology department or the nomination of other departments, it can be seen that Oscar really wants to find a more suitable balance between business and art, which is undoubtedly the highlight of this year's Oscar nomination list. one.

This situation is actually similar to the struggle and hesitation of the Grammys, and it will also become a problem that all awards ceremonies must face. However, from the current point of view, Oscar is obviously much older than the Grammys. After the announcement of the nomination list, not only did it not cause controversy, but on the contrary, it also attracted people's enthusiasm.

It is worth mentioning that the chick movie "Sleepless in Seattle", which made a bloody road in the North American film market last year, was also recognized by the academy, with two nominations for the best original screenplay and the best original song. The news media who questioned it kept their mouths shut.

In particular, the nomination for Best Original Screenplay made people see Nora Ephron's ability as a talented woman again. This is her third nomination after "Silkwood Incident" and "When Harry Met Sally". In the Oscar competition for this award, there are also two chick movies, which undoubtedly completely changed people's fixed impression of chick movies. Although chick movies are romantic comedies targeting women, love is inherent in life. part of love, and many truths in life can also be read from love.

Nora used her own actions to prove to people that chick movies can be shot as classics, but the focus is never on the subject matter itself.

The only pity is that Hugo's excellent performance in "Sleepless in Seattle" was not able to break through the siege and lost the competition for the best actor, which can definitely be called a pity.

But even so, after the nomination list came out, Hugo's ability to select works still made people's eyes shine. "Schindler's List" won twelve nominations, and "Sleepless in Seattle" also received two nominations. On top of last year's Oscars, "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" won four nominations, and finally fulfilled Al Pacino's long-cherished dream of the best actor, and "Righteous Sea Heroes" also won four nominations, including the best Nominations for the film.

Since the "Hudson Eagle" won the Golden Raspberry Award, Hugo has achieved a full recovery. The four works have been successful, not only the box office has been a huge success, but also won the academy's overall recognition at the awards ceremony. Not to mention his reputation for acting that has risen step by step. In the past two years, everyone has witnessed Hugo's strong comeback, which is absolutely wonderful.

Although only the Oscar nomination list has been released, the heated discussion among the media has gradually started. This year's Oscar competition is full of infinite possibilities. Whether "Schindler's List" will continue to the end, or "Farewell to You Qingtian" "Completing the counterattack, or the emergence of other dark horses, this is indeed full of countless suspense, and at the same time, it also allows people to see that the American film market, which has been silent for several years, is gradually showing signs of resurgence.

In 1993, not only the strong return of rock music, but also the frequent release of excellent works in the film market also gave people hope. People have reason to believe that the music market and film market in 1994 will contribute more wonderful works, and the 66th Oscars. The fierce competition is not only a summary of 1993, but also can be seen as a wonderful beginning of 1994.
