Chapter 750: The Beginning of the Showdown

Gene Hackman won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar last year for "Unforgiven", so this year he's the Best Supporting Actress presenter.

The competition for Best Supporting Actress this year is particularly fierce. Holly Hunter of "Sugar-Coated Trap" not only won the nomination for supporting actress this year, but also won the nomination for the leading actress by relying on "Piano Love". Actress winner Emma Thompson also received double nominations this year for "Farewell to Sentient Heaven" and "In the Name of the Father."

Rosie. Perez for "Fearless" earned her first nomination; "Age of Innocence" earned her first Oscar nomination for Winona Ryder Make up for the regret that the Academy ignored her wonderful performance in "Edward Scissorhands".

In the end, Anna Paquin, who was only twelve years old, won a seat with a stunning performance of "Farewell to the Piano".

Among them, Emma is a little weaker because she just won the Best Actress award last year. Coupled with the power of double nominations, the possibility of winning the award in the end is very small; Hawley's advantage in the supporting actress department is far Not as good as the heroine, and it is generally believed that both she and Rosie were shortlisted because of the lack of better supporting actresses this year, otherwise two double nominations in a single Oscar would not have appeared.

After such a calculation, in fact, the final battle is basically between Winona and Anna.

In the supporting actress department of the Oscars, after entering the 1990s, they always like to reward newcomers, encourage the rise of new actresses, and hope to see more talented actresses appear, which is completely different from the situation of male actors. Winona and Anna both meet such standards. On the one hand, they are age. Winona is twenty-two years old this year, while Anna is only twelve years old. , but this is only her first nomination, even more so for Anna.

At previous awards ceremonies such as the Golden Globe Awards and the Screen Actors Guild Awards, Winona, who was known as a talented girl, had the upper hand, and her stunning performance in Martin Scorsese's "Age of Innocence" was unanimously praised. , she is also the biggest hit for Best Supporting Actress this year.

Relatively speaking, Anna is too young at only twelve years old, and her performance relies more on instinct than acting. Although it was brilliant, even stunning, it still fell behind at the awards ceremony.

Of course, it is worth mentioning that if Emma Thompson wins in the supporting actress department, it means that she will basically miss the best actress department for "Farewell to Love", which is very important for the whole awards ceremony. The competitive landscape of "Farewell to Lovely Heaven" and "Schindler's List" in China also has a huge impact. This is also one of the highlights.

In the end, Gene Hackman witnessed history when he announced that the winner of the best supporting actress was Anna Paquin, which also meant that the youngest acting category winner in Oscar history was born, ten The age of two years is not only unprecedented, but I am afraid that it is also unprecedented. At least no one can break it before 2014, as Hugo recognized.

The still young and ignorant Anna timidly stepped onto the stage and accepted her little golden man with a smile on her face. For others, this is the goal that the poor have been pursuing all their lives, but Anna completed it by relying on her debut novel. This feat, although this is the only Oscar nomination for Anna's acting career.

Winning an award requires luck. Hugo has the most profound experience at this moment. Winona, an actress with wonderful acting skills and outstanding looks, who is loved by thousands of people, has always lacked a little luck at the Oscars. Before 2014, she didn't get the favor of Oscar, which made people embarrassed.

The trajectory of history has not changed. Even if Hugo appeared in this time and space, even if Hugo's butterfly wings had a lot of consequences, the general direction of the entire history remained the same, which also made Hugo clearly understand. What a small reality in the long history of being an independent human being.

So what about the Best Supporting Actor award? It is still developing at the pace of historical progress.

After the Best Supporting Actress was awarded, the announcement of the Best Art Direction Award officially opened the prelude to the struggle between "Schindler's List" and "Farewell to Eternal Love". "The List" got off to a good start, beating "Farewell to Sentient Days", "The Age of Innocence", "Adams Family Values" and "Orlando the Beautiful".

However, this good start did not continue the strength of "Schindler's List", and the competition for the following awards failed one after another.

The Best Makeup Award is contested by "Skinny Daddy", "Philadelphia Story" and "Schindler's List". In the competition for the Best Costume Design Award, she defeated "Schindler's List", "Farewell to Love", "Farewell to the Piano" and "Beautiful Orlando", and finally won the award.

At present, four awards have been awarded, and they belong to four different works. Therefore, it is still unknown whether "Schindler's List" can maintain the flamboyant momentum of the previous three months. Whether Tian" can regain the initiative still needs to wait and see.

Immediately after the awards ceremony, the first small climax of the night was ushered in, and it was even widely considered by many media to be the only climax of the evening: the awarding of the best supporting actor.

This year's Oscars stand out because of "Schindler's List". In fact, the suspense of the awards ceremony is not great. Of course, this is only theoretically. How much impact these three works can have on "Schindler's List", and how powerful it is, is still unknown, and this can also be regarded as the highlight of the night.

However, relatively speaking, the huge suspense in the best supporting actor department can definitely be called the biggest bright spot.

The five nominees for the Best Supporting Actor award are Tommy Lee-Jones for "Desperados", John Malkovich for "Sniper" and Pete Postlethwaite for "In the Name of the Father" , Leonardo DiCaprio of "Different Sky" and Hugo Lancaster of "Schindler's List".

The performances of these five actors have received a lot of praise, and the entire nominations are basically the same as the nominations for other awards ceremonies such as the Golden Globes, the Screen Actors Guild, and the Film Critics Association. The only difference is Pete Postlethwaite. Alternating with Sean Penn from "Dawn of the Owl" in different nominations. It can also be seen from here that Pitt was the first to fall behind, and his ability to be nominated for the Oscar is already a huge victory, but the real showdown will still unfold among the other four actors.

If you put aside all the influencing factors, simply discuss the performance quality of the actors, analyze it from an objective point of view, and evaluate it in terms of character difficulty, quality of completion, and degree of brilliance, the order should be Hugo, Tommy, Leonardo, John and pete. Among them, the roles of Hugo and Leonardo are the most difficult, Hugo and Tommy have the highest degree of completion, and the level of brilliance is that Hugo and Tommy are neck and neck.

But it is impossible for any award selected by people to remain absolutely objective. After a variety of factors are involved, Hugo and Leonardo are both nominated for the first time, and subject to age restrictions, their chances of winning the award are basically the same as John's. Tied, just ahead of bottom-placed Pete, Tommy thriving.

Tommy once won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for "Assassination of Kennedy" in 1991. Before that, he also contributed wonderful works such as "The Miner's Daughter" and "Lonesome. Dove", whether it is Qualifications or contributions to the industry have reached the height of winning awards.

The most important thing is that Tommy's splendid performance in a commercial film such as "The End of the World" this year has almost won unanimous praise from the entire public opinion circle.

So this year has also been regarded as the best time for Tommy to win the award, and the Golden Globes before it also proved this.

However, Hugo's contribution to "Schindler's List" is also considered to be one of the brightest moments on the big screen throughout 1993, and his performance completely elevates the depth and thickness of the film, that stunning The eyes have transcended the constraints of black and white, which is amazing.

Under such circumstances, it is widely believed that Hugo and Tommy will be the strongest contenders for the best supporting actor this year, with John second, and Leonardo and Pitt at the bottom. In particular, Hugo once missed news such as "Desperate World", which made this showdown even more exciting.

Before the award ceremony, the reason why people made the best supporting actor department the biggest attraction is because the strength is close, whether it is Hugo or Tommy, whoever wins is well deserved, but at the same time it is another The regret of one side; the second is because of the topicality, not only the topicality of the competition between Hugo and Tommy, but also the tangled topic between Hugo and Tracy.

Although it is said that the competition between Hugo and Tracy is mainly maintained on "Schindler's List" and "Farewell to the Love of God", the best supporting actor is the department where Hugo plays personally. The division wins, which also means a lot personally, is bound to change the balance of power between Hugo and Tracy.

If "Farewell to Eternal Sky" loses, then there is no doubt that Tracy also loses; but if "Farewell to Eternal Sky" wins, and Hugo wins, then the balance of power between the two sides will remain at Hugo. dominant position.

These kinds of topics make the Best Supporting Actor Award full of suspense before the ceremony begins.

But after the awards ceremony kicked off, Anna completed a counterattack in the Best Supporting Actress award, and people couldn't help but wonder: Could Leonardo also accomplish this feat in the Best Supporting Actor department, surpassing the two popular candidates Win in the end? In an instant, the suspense of the award rose to a whole new level.

Marisa - Tomei (Marisa. Tomei) took to the stage, all the attention!
