1021 Focus is constant

After the Oscar nomination list was released, the discussion could not stop. The awards season finally regained the excitement it should have. The competition for the best film focused on countless eyes, but the focus was not inferior. Among them, the most popular discussion was not the competition for the best actor and actress, but the ownership of the best director.

The list of nominations for the best director this year is really interesting. Martin Scorses of "The Walker of the Stroke", Clint Eastwood of "Iwo Jima", Alessandro Gonzalez Inaritu of "Tower of the Sky", Stephen Fres of "Queen" and Lancelot Strello of "Rampant Road", five directors entered the finals and started a showdown.

When the nomination list came out, the most noticeable thing was not that the two directors of "Sunny Little Beauty" were lost. "Old Cowboy" Clint made a reversal at the last moment, breaking the nomination blockade of the American Directors Union and winning the nomination; it was a second showdown between Martin and Clint.

Before this, the momentum of "The Instant Walker" has always been rising steadily in an orderly manner. The main praises were all concentrated on Martin's directorial ability. Unlike the heavy Oscar burden that the "Aviator" had two years ago, this time Martin let go of his hands and feet and relieved the pressure, but instead achieved unexpected results.

The heavy sword has no edge, the use of great ingenuity and the composition of the picture silently reveals strong scheduling ability, rhythm control, emotional brewing and connotation exploration are closely entangled in the plot. This skill is indeed amazing. Perhaps, this is not Martin's best work, but it does reflect Martin's talent and ability. After a long thirty-year directorial career and many masterpieces recorded in history, "The Walker of the Stop" became the best opportunity for Martin to top the Oscars.

Votes of credit, guilt, compensation, dedication, respect for the elderly, and even sympathy will all become Martin's biggest bargaining chip for the Little Golden Man. Whether Martin can top the Oscar will also become the biggest suspense beyond the Best Picture.

However, this time, Martin once again faced his old opponent Clint. Clint is called the Oscar darling, and there is no reason. The three works of "Mysterious River", "Million Dollar Baby" and this time, all completed the counterattack at the last moment when the call for awards season fell at a disadvantage and entered the Oscar final stage.

Two years ago, the "Million Dollar Baby" completely defeated the popular "Aviator" in a dark horse manner and is still vivid in my mind. At that time, the "Million Dollar Baby" received seven nominations, far behind the eleven nominations of "Aviator" in the nomination stage, but who would have thought that the ending would look different?

The counterattack miracle of "Letter from Iwo Jima" this year is even more shocking and makes people wonder, is the situation that happened two years ago going to happen again? If Martin is really under Clint's command again, this would be a tragedy of fate in ancient Greece.

But this year, in addition to Clint, Martin has to face another powerful opponent: Lance. After winning the best director nomination for four consecutive years, Lance has surpassed Clint and became the most successful director since the new century. But the interesting thing is here. Lance is far from being the "Oscar darling". Even though he won two screenwriter Xiao Jinren, even if he won a Best Foreign Language Film and a Best Supporting Actor trophy, he is still a long way from the Academy darling - but he has been nominated for four consecutive years. Such a contradictory attitude is indeed quite absurd and unruly.

Now, the question is, when will Lance win his first Best Director Little Golden Man? This is Lance's fourth nomination, Martin's sixth nomination, and Clint's fourth nomination. So, will "Rampant Road" be the moment for Lance to break through for the first time? Judging from the current momentum of the awards season, Lance seems to have replaced Clint and become Martin's strongest competitor. This good show has just begun.

Of course, Alessandro and Stephen were not completely with each other. The former is the most popular Mexican director at the moment, with a series of excellent works; the latter won the Oscar nomination for Best Director with a "scammer" sixteen years ago, and all three major European film festivals have won award recognition. In terms of qualifications, he is the director after Martin and Clint. And more importantly, among the five nominees, the "Queen" is the work that best suits the academy's preferences, and the "Tower of the Sky" is the work that has always been leading in reputation this year's awards season.

Putting aside the trend of the entire awards season, the bayonet fighting between the five directors is really exciting. What is certain is that no matter who wins the award, everyone will witness the birth of a brand new legend.

Compared with the competition from the director department, this year's acting awards are also quite competitive, and there are still many gimmicks.

In the Best Actor Department, Forest Whitaker of the "Last Dictator", Peter Otto of the "Encounter Love", Leonardo DiCaprio of the "Blood Diamond", Ryan Gosling of the "Half Nelson" and Lancelot Strello of the "Rampant Road" were shortlisted for the nomination list.

Among them, the biggest surprise is Will Smith, who won the Golden Ball Best Actor Award by "When Happiness Comes Knocks the Door", and was eliminated in surprise, and Lance and Ryan were replaced by two shortlisted. Lance, who won the acting nomination for the third consecutive year with "Rampant Road", unknowingly, his influence among the actors has reached an incredible height - the American Actors Union nominated Lance, which is really a strange phenomenon.

But after thinking deeply, as a director, Lance's promotion, guidance and polishing of actors can be said to be the only one in Hollywood. Whether it is Clint, Martin, or Steven Spielberg, these directors are not good at digging out actors' performance skills. There are fewer and fewer directors like William Wheeler who are good at training actors. The actors he directed have won thirty-five Oscar nominations for performance awards, including thirteen of which, no one can break this record. But now Lance has shown this ability and touch, especially his understanding of the development from the perspective of actors, which is almost impossible to copy. The reason why Clint won the nomination for performance awards is more due to his own understanding and interpretation of the temperament of tough guys, and has no direct connection with acting skills, performance aura, etc.

It is no surprise that Lance can win such prestige at the American actor union.

Leonardo was nominated for the competition with "Blood Diamond", which is undoubtedly disappointing. On the eve of the Golden Globes, the calls for "Walkers" to attack Leonardo's supporting role awards began to emerge. It seemed that Warner Bros. made a splash in order to avoid Leonardo's vote-scoring crisis, which was directly reflected in the nomination list of the American Actors' Union Awards. Leonardo was nominated for the Best Actor with "Blood Diamond" and "Walkers" for the Best Supporting Actor with "Blood Diamond". This is really a wrong public relations method, because Jack Nicholson and Mark Wahlberg are both strong contenders in the supporting role department. This not only hits the right hand with the left hand, but also weakens Leonardo's ability to concentrate on the male lead.

It can be predicted that Forest and Peter will have a battle for the film industry. As for Leonardo, it depends on whether he can successfully disrupt the situation.

The Best Actress Department was also surprised and pleasantly surprised, Helen Mirren of "Queen", Judy Dench of "Scandal Chronicles", Kate Winslet of "Mother", Penelope Cruz of "Return" and Charlize Theron of "Rampage Road" successfully won the nomination.

The biggest surprise is that Meryl Streep, who is "the Queen of Prada", was eliminated in an upset, while Penelope and Charlize completed a counterattack breakthrough. The former was shortlisted for performances in foreign language films, while the latter was shortlisted for performances in commercial works. In addition to the two veteran actors, Helen and Judy, Kate had unknowingly won her fifth Oscar nomination. Like Martin in the director department and Peter in the male lead department, Kate's strength is unquestionable. The question is, when will she realize her dream?

The highlights of the supporting role department are really amazing. The biggest surprise of the supporting actor is that Alan Akin of the "Little Sunshine Beauty" and Germain Hansu of "Blood Diamonds" squeezed out Jack Nicholson of the "Walking Walker" and Brad Pitt of the "Tower Tower" to win the nomination, and Michael Fassbender of the "Rampant Road" won the first acting nomination in his career; the supporting actresses are Abigil Bryslin of the "Little Sunshine Beauty" and Gisele Bunchen of the "Rampant Road" won the nomination for the first time, squeezing out Emily Blunt of the "Queen of Prada" and Cate Blanchett of the "Scandal Chronicle".

Especially in the supporting actress department, Abigil, who is only twelve years old, Jennifer Hudson, who is a real-life talent show, Gisele, a professional model, and two foreign actors from "Tongtian Tower", it can be said that the five candidates are not the type that the academy likes, and their respective shortcomings are very obvious. In previous years, any person's shortlist can be regarded as a dark horse, but this year, five dark horses will compete, truly interpreting "everything is possible" to the end.

It is worth mentioning that Giselle entered the Oscar judges' sight as a model for the first time. This is not only the third "model" actor after Kim Basinger and Charlize Theron to be nominated for the Oscar, but also the first full-time professional model.

Although Gisele's performance has received numerous praises throughout the awards season, and even the calls have remained high, and the nomination cannot be said to be an accident; but as we all know, the Academy's most rejection of idol-style vases, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matthew McConaughey and other male actors have all been ignored by the Academy for many years, let alone actresses. At the same time, it must be considered that this is Gisele's first official big-screen performance, which is even more deductible in the eyes of the judges!

Therefore, even though Giselle is highly recognized, all the adverse factors affect her awards season prospects, and almost no one thinks she can be shortlisted for the competition - although the supporting actress department every year likes to commend new generations of actors. What's more, the commercial film attributes of "Rampant Road" are even more fatal. It can be said that it cuts off more potential possibilities for development from the source. Just look at the previous nomination list of the Golden Globes. Giselle has almost never gotten many opportunities in supporting actors, and of course, even Lance is difficult to stand out in the leading role, and only Charlize has gained the most affirmation.

After this year's nomination list for the American Actors' Union Awards came out, the "Raging Road" that swept through all nominations in the four major departments is naturally the top priority, but no one dares to assert that Giselle will win the Oscar nomination. Until now, this is undoubtedly the biggest turning point in Giselle's career and the boldest attempt on this year's Oscar nomination list.

It can be imagined that the chaos occupied by the five dark horses who have all their might to launch an impact on the best supporting actress Little Golden Man. Anyone wins are unpopular, and at the same time, it is natural for anyone to win. Every alternate is refuting the inertia and routine of the academy. Such a situation is even more exciting than the best director, which is simply ridiculous and exciting.

The script department brought a small surprise in a stable manner, with the best original script department, "Sunshine Beauty", "Tower of the Sky", "Pan God's Maze", "Letter from Iwo Jima", and "Queen" successfully shortlisted; the best adapted script department, "Walking in the Stop", "Borat", "Son of Humanity", "Being a Mother", and "Scandal Chronicle" won the nomination.

Comparing the entire nomination, the biggest difference from the American Screenwriters Union is that the two foreign language works "Letter from Iwo Jima" and "The Maze of Pan" have ranked among the top five in the original department; "Son of Humanity" in the adaptation department upset the "Queen of Prada" down.

It can be clearly seen that the work "Letter from Iwo Jima" is rising with affirmation, while the "Queen of Prada" is completely in decline.

In addition, in the best film editing department, the three works of "Walking in the Side", "Tower of the Sky" and "Rampant Road" were successfully nominated, and two seats were ranked as "Son of Humanity" and "Blood Diamond". Not only did the "Queen" and "Little Sunshine Beauty" not be shortlisted, but also the "Dream Chasing Girl" was also lost, which is far from the nomination list of the American Editors Union, once again allowing people to see the chaotic pattern of this year's awards season.

It is precisely because of this chaos that the trend of all awards is full of uncertainty. Even if the "Rampage Road" leads with an absolute advantage of 14 nominations, the suspense cannot be easily speculated in each individual event, especially after experiencing a weird Oscar like last year, all normal laws are not applicable. This also means that this year's Oscar ceremony will be extremely tense and also extremely exciting. Qiqijia D Cat said that today's second update, please recommend, please vote for monthly tickets!
