Before the Oscar nomination list was announced, "Tongtian Tower" was not selected for the American Producer Union nomination list, casting a shadow; "Walkward Walker" swept the nomination list of the five major unions, with a strong and strong presence, and it was the most popular awards season; "Dream Chasing Girl" came from behind, and its courageous momentum in the sprint stage even faintly overwhelmed "Walkward Walker". Many experts believe that the horns of "Tongtian Tower", "Walkward Walker" and "Rampant Road" may achieve the benefits of the "Dream Chasing Girl".

However, after the nomination list was announced, the prospects of the three works had undergone earth-shaking changes, which was shocking.

In addition to winning the best film nomination, "Tongtian Tower" also received six other nominations, including Best Director, Best Original Script, Best Movie Editing, Best Original Soundtrack, and two Best Supporting Actress seats. Although the number of nominations is far behind "Rampage Road", all major departments have been shortlisted, and the nomination of original scripts undoubtedly increases the prospects of the film, making people feel the academy's love for this work.

However, there are also regrets that "Tower Tower" is not selected in the Best Supporting Actor Department. It seems that Brad Pitt's failure to choose from in the Best Supporting Actor Department has become a hidden danger. Putting this aside, the film's comprehensive performance is second only to the "Raging Road". It can be foreseen that these two works will have a battle against each other on the night of the awards ceremony.

The eight nominations for "Dream Chasing Girl" are a bit ridiculous, because three of them are from the Best Original Songs. Judging from the numbers alone, "Dream Chasing Girl" is still the biggest hit in this year's awards season; but in terms of quality, "Dream Chasing Girl" missed the best film and the best director. The main department only received two nominations for Best Supporting Actress and Best Supporting Actor, as well as three technical nominations for Best Art Director, Best Audio Effect, and Best Clothing Design.

Such eight nominations are really too heavy, just like the work has become a powerful momentum in the past month, and everything is just the media's hustle and bustle. In fact, this work has never been called a masterpiece in the minds of professional film critics and industry veterans, but now it has finally revealed its true form.

In contrast, the "Dream Chasing Girl"'s big victory above the Golden Globe Awards is more like a joke. Thinking back to the accurate prediction of the Golden Globe Awards list at this time, it becomes more meaningful.

The fall of "Walkward Walker" is indeed an accident. As of the time of the announcement of the nomination list, there was no sign. Warner Brothers' huge academy public relations have not slacked off at all. Although Warner Brothers has been running around for the "Iwo Jima Letter", they are not so stupid that they give up the powerful advantages established by "Walkward Walker". The nomination list of the five major unions is the best proof. But now it seems that "Walkward Walker" seems to have fallen into a situation similar to "Rampant Road" before, but the actual effect is really limited.

Of course, as a commercial film, "The Walker of the Infernal Affairs" has no results in the technical award department, which is also an important reason why the film has only won five nominations. Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor, Best Movie Editing, All five nominations come from the core major departments. In terms of quality alone, it is comparable to "Tower of the Sky". The only regret is that Jack Nicholson failed to be selected for the Best Supporting Actor, and only Mark Wahlberg was successfully shortlisted.

From this perspective, although the "Walking Walker" was defeated in the technical department, Warner Bros. was not able to push "Iwo Jima Letter" to the top, which means that all public relations forces concentrated their firepower to attack the two highlights of Best Director and Best Film. Perhaps, at the Oscars, the three troikas of "Walking Walker", "Tower of the Sky", and "Rampant Road" will be the main theme of the night.

Looking at the entire nomination list, in addition to the fourteen nominations of "Rampant Road", the eight nominations of "Dream Chasing Girl" followed closely, and the "Tower of Heaven" was seven nominations. In addition, the number of nominations for "Queen" and "Sunshine Beautiful" who were shortlisted for the best film are six and four, and "Walkward Walker" just happened to become a sandwich cookie.

As the highlight of this year's work, the performance of "Queen" and "Sunny Little Beauty" on the nomination list is exactly the same as the momentum of the previous awards season. As time progresses, the "Queen" whose performance has gradually weakened, successfully completed a counterattack at the Oscars; while the "Sunny Little Beauty" who gradually rises with the progress of time has unfortunately not been able to step closer to the nomination stage.

As the most in line with the academy's taste during this year's awards season, "Queen" won six nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Costume Design, Best Original Soundtrack, and missed the Best Movie Editing, which also means that the hope of hitting the Best Picture has been weakened a lot, but the nomination for Best Director has made up for the American Directors' Union's regret of losing.

The four nominations for "Sunny Little Beauty" come from Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Screenplay. Each nomination is a core department with great importance, especially the two supporting actors departments brought unexpected surprises. It is not the heroine Toni Colette who had a high voice before, but instead they were nominated for two supporting roles. Abigail Breslin, who was only ten years old, can be called a real sweetheart, but after losing the nomination for Best Director, the upward momentum of the film was a wake-up call.

In addition, "Pan Shen's Maze" also won six nominations. Although it failed to occupy a place in the best film nomination, the two heavyweight nominations of Best Foreign Language Film and Best Original Screenplay still prove the hard power of this work, the best original soundtrack, the best photography, the best art directing, and the best makeup department are icing on the cake.

"Letter from Iwo Jima" and "Chronicle of Scandal" received four and three nominations respectively.

Clint Eastwood is worthy of being the darling of the Oscars. This year's two works "The Flag of the Fathers" and "Letters from Iwo Jima" have not been satisfactory overall. However, the "Letters from Iwo Jima" with an overall quality above the level of the overall quality is still a sudden rise and is almost about to complete the reversal. In the end, he still won the best director, best original script, best sound editing, and best sound effects nominations.

In the absence of the unfavorable situation of the American Directors' Union nomination, Clint relied on his personal reputation to occupy a place in this year's best director battle, and once again confronted Martin Scorses; and Paul Haggis won the screenwriter's nomination for the third consecutive year after "million dollar baby" and "collision", replicating the miracle that Lance created in the past three years, and was in the limelight.

"Chronicle of Scandal" relies on solid performance to attract attention on the nomination list, including Best Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Original Soundtrack. If you hadn't met a better "Queen", this work would probably have made a difference this year.

Even so, this work cannot be underestimated. Both the Best Actress and the Best Original Soundtrack are powerful, especially the respected Judy Denchi. Don’t forget that she has only won the Best Supporting Actress Little Golden Man so far, and has not made any breakthrough in Best Actress.

From the perspective of the work, this is probably the case. In the battle for the best film, the showdown between "Tower of the Sky", "Raging Road" and "The Walker of the Insular" is undoubtedly the biggest focus. Relatively speaking, "Queen" and "Sunshine Beauty" both missed the Best Movie Editing Award and fell behind in advance, but the strange situation of "crashing" last year has already appeared. Who can tell this year that it will not repeat the same mistake?

There is still a whole month before the Academy Awards ceremony, and this is the sprint stage of the college's public relations. No one can predict or control what will happen at this stage. Six thousand college judges will work hard to find their own camp in this game of throne, and then quietly wait for the results to be announced to see who the final winner is.

Unlike last year's "Brokeback Mountain" and the showdown of "Fruit Hard Candy", the advantages and disadvantages of this year's three works are more obvious and more distinct. It seems that no matter who you choose, you will create history. The question is, what direction is this history and what kind of aftertaste will it produce?

There is no doubt that this is the embodiment of the wave of the times. More importantly, this will bring earth-shaking revolutionary changes to the film industry, which is definitely no less than any alternation of eras in history. Choosing the "Tower of Heaven" will not only be the first time in Mexico's history that there are practitioners standing on the Oscar podium, but also showing the anxiety of contemporary society and the vision of the global market; choosing "Walking in the Stroke", there is no doubt that Martin Scorses will fulfill his long-cherished wish, finally top the Oscar, and witness the perfection of a generation of masters.

Going closer, choosing "Queen" or "Sunny Beauty" is a milestone in the movie. It may be breakthrough/not as good as the "Raging Road", but it is still worthy of recognition.

What is certain is that thanks to the existence of the "Raging Road" and the expectation of fourteen nominations, the attention of this year's Oscars will definitely not be disappointing. Putting aside the overall strength of the film, this year's Oscars are also full of highlights, including Martin of the director department, Leonardo of the actor department, Paul of the screenwriter department, and Hayden Hunter of the photography department... The competition is no less intense than the best film.

Among them, the first thing to be affected is naturally the best director department that has caused countless discussions and attention every year. This year, Martin seems to have finally ushered in the best opportunity to reach the top, but there is never a shortage of neglected film masters in the history of the Oscars. Will Martin continue this tragedy?
