The 87th Academy Award for Best Picture nominees:

"The Grand Budapest Hotel", "Birdman", "Boyhood", "Selma Parade", "The Theory of Everything", "The Popping Drummer", "American Sniper", "The Imitation Game".

A total of eight works were successfully shortlisted, and all the popular works were successfully launched without falling behind. The "American Sniper" who had previously been ignored at the Golden Globe Awards had a strong position at the last moment.

On the one hand, it proves that Clint Eastwood is still old and strong, and on the other hand, it proves that the rise of American conservatives has become irresistible. "Crossing" has become the most commercial work in this year's awards season. As producer and star, Bradley Cooper seems to be creating his own golden age of Hollywood.

But the accident still occurred.

"Foxcatcher" and "Saint Vincent" both fell behind and fell below a pair of glasses.

If the latter is too light and lacks impact after all, then the former has won countless praises throughout the awards season. The level was unexpected. The whole industry was full of question marks, and a lot of "what's going on" popped up, but no one could know the answer. Obviously, the approval rate was just a bubble.

Perhaps, the hacking incident is the best explanation.

"Fox Hunter" missed the best picture nomination, which also directly proves that the trend of the Golden Globe Awards is only "wind direction" after all, and it is impossible to accurately grasp the pulse of the academy judges. Guessing and estimation are, after all, just a probability.

In addition, the finalist of "The Theory of Everything" is also considered a big upset. Although this work also won a nomination seat at the Golden Globe Awards, the 72-point media review proves that this is not an excellent film. Compared with the "Fox Hunter", which scored 81 points in the comprehensive evaluation of the media, there is a clear gap in the overall quality of the works. .

That's what Harvey Weinstein did.

But no matter what, the popular works still won the nominations steadily, "The Grand Budapest Hotel" and "Boyhood" temporarily ranked in the first group, and "Birdman" and "Booming Drummer" ranked in the second group. The two works of "Selma Parade" and "The Imitation Game" showed a downward trend, occupying the third group together with "American Sniper" and "The Theory of Everything".

The division of the overall pattern is naturally not empty, and the nomination list for the best director is the most direct proof.

Richard Linklater of "Boyhood", Wes Anderson of "The Grand Budapest Hotel", Alejandro Gonzalez Inaritu of "Birdman", Damien Chazelle, Bennett Miller of "Foxcatcher", five directors successfully made the final list.

At a glance!

Richard Linklater and Wes Anderson are still the frontrunners throughout the awards season; Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu has The power of control shows the ability of the director's position, which is somewhat similar to the situation of Alfonso Cuaron last year. Although the overall momentum of "Birdman" has not surpassed that of its competitors, the director's nomination is stable and there is basically no suspense. .

The three directors mentioned above have basically not missed the nomination list so far in the awards season. They joined forces to form the first group and were also successfully shortlisted in the Oscar nomination list. However, there are many variables in the other two seats. After about eight directors competing for two seats.

The other two seats at the Golden Globes belong to David Fincher of "Gone Girl" and Ava DuVernay of "Selma Parade".

The British Academy Award, with the remaining two seats going to Damien Chazelle of "The Popping Drummer" and James Marsh of "The Theory of Everything".

The Directors Guild of America Awards, Morten Tydum of "The Imitation Game" and Clint Eastwood of "American Sniper" rounded out the final five.

See micro-knowledge.

The nomination seats for the above three major awards ceremonies are all different and belong to six different directors. No one can be nominated steadily, and similar situations can be seen in other major awards ceremonies and association awards. , continued the melee in the director's department.

Just like the battle for the best actor, the competition for the best director also presents a full-scale melee where a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend, which is really lively.

In previous years, the DAG nominees and eventual winners would have been the best guide for the Oscars, but this year it doesn't.

Damien Chazelle of "Boom Drummer" emerged from the chaos. With sharp editing and smooth scheduling, he won the votes of countless judges. At the age of 28, he won the first prize of his career. One Oscar nomination; and "Foxcatcher"'s Bennett Miller broke into a shocking upset. After missing the two major cities of the British Academy Awards and the Directors Guild Awards in a row, he ranked among the top five Oscars as a dark horse.

Even the Golden Globes failed to predict Bennett Miller's ascendance, which once again proved that the awards season is full of academy's public relations.

Director David Fincher, Ava DuVernay, Morten Tydum, Clint Eastwood, Mike Lee and Paul Thomas Anderson have all fallen, the most regrettable

David Fincher is the one, and the most surprising one is Morten Tydum's "Imitation Game" hand. I don't know how Weinstein Pictures has fallen to such a point. The most controversial is Ava. - DuVernay's "Selma Parade" received numerous accolades but still failed to make the female director shortlisted, and the female director's weakness is still a chronic illness.

From the final list of nominations for best director, you can feel the smoke of gunpowder this year's awards season. The strong finalists of "Boom Drummer" and "Fox Hunter" undoubtedly set off the topic.

It is precisely because of this that "Fox Hunter" was absent from the best picture nomination, which caused a lot of controversy. Even the best director has been nominated for a counter-attack, but it was abandoned by the best picture. This is really unbelievable. The solution; and "Booming Drummer" also revived with two important nominations, and once again joined hands with "Birdman" to enter the chaos of the best picture competition, which has added a lot to the second stage of the academy's public relations. variable.

And both works are from Sony Classics.

In fact, a similar pattern has continued to the script department, which can still be seen as a microcosm of the next development trend of the best picture battle.

Best Original Screenplay, "Birdman," "The Grand Budapest Hotel," "Nightcrawler," "Fox Hunter," "Boyhood."

With the exception of "Nightcrawler," the other four are strong contenders, not to mention the three best picture hits all coming together, and the absence of "Fox Hunter" from the best picture nominations is all the more confusing.

Best Adapted Screenplay, "Breaking Drummer," "The Imitation Game," "The Theory of Everything," "American Sniper," "Inherently Evil."

"Inherently Evil" is the only film that didn't get nominated for Best Picture. It's more of a tribute to Paul Thomas Anderson's screenplay. The talented director should have been a favorite for Best Director, but The whole awards season has not been able to really push the momentum; as for the other four works, all of them are the seed players of this year's awards season, so there is no need to go into details.

It should be noted that, of the eight works nominated for the best picture, only "Selma Parade" did not have a nominated script, and Ava DuVernay lost the director nomination, which directly proves that the first stage is booming. The "Selma Parade" was left behind at the last moment, and it was not an accidental upset that Paramount Pictures, the distribution company, once again ruined a good hand.

On the whole, the competition for original scripts is more intense, and "Boom Drummer" should also be an original script. This is the script created by Damien Chazelle himself, but he shot a short film in order to find investment. The film was developed and perfected on the basis of the short film, which also made the final product recognized by the academy as an "adapted script", otherwise, the fight in the original script department would be even more tragic.

Another important award nomination can be used as an indicator, and that is the Best Editing Award.

In this award, known as the "Little Best Picture", you can also glimpse the overall trend of the judges' voting. "Boyhood" and "The Grand Budapest Hotel" were nominated for nominations without any suspense, and the remaining three seats were reserved by "Boom Drummer" joins "American Sniper" and "The Imitation Game" for nominations.

First of all, "The Imitation Game" squeezed out the "Fox Hunter" shortlist. The two works have one shortlisted editor and one shortlisted director. The balance of one up and one down can also be seen as the similar attributes of biographical films are consuming each other's profits. Prize Hope.

Secondly, "Birdman" broke out a little unpopular, and the nominated film took a fake one shot to shoot the whole film. It is indeed not competitive in the editing department, but whether this may have an impact on the competition for the best picture, then No way to know.

Once again, "Booming Drummer" played steadily and was the biggest hit in the editing department, which has also become an important factor in reversing the competition for the best film.

To sum up, the overall pattern of the first stage of the competition for the best picture has been initially drawn. "Boyhood" and "The Grand Budapest Hotel" are leading the pack, followed by "Birdman" and "Boom Drummer" , and then enter the second stage, then watch Fox Searchlight and Sony Classic join forces to encircle and suppress the independent film company ifc Pictures.

Of course, another direct piece of evidence that peeks into the overall picture of the first phase of awards season is the number of nominations.

The Oscars include a large number of nominations for technical awards. In terms of the number of nominations, "Boyhood" will inevitably be unable to seize the advantage, which is also directly reflected in the final number of nominations.

In the end, the two hits "The Grand Budapest Hotel" and "Birdman" both led the nomination list with nine nominations, followed by "Boom Drummer" and "The Imitation Game" with seven nominations, followed by " The six nominations for "Boyhood" and "American Sniper" have surprises and surprises, but overall, they continue the predictions of the first stage.
