493 Missed

Objectively speaking, excellent movies usually have an excellent script, but an excellent script may not necessarily make an excellent movie. After all, as a whole, there are too many factors influencing the movie. In the past ten years of the Oscars, four best films have missed script awards, which shows that this is not a big fuss.

However, in the past decade, only the best film "Titanic" has not been shortlisted for the competition for script awards. From this perspective, the script department is crucial to the best film. In addition to the best director, the direct link between the best film and the script is undoubtedly the closest, and even surpasses the four major acting awards and the best editing awards. The college has always believed that an excellent script is the cornerstone of an excellent film.

The same is true this year. In addition to the "Soul Song King", all five nominated works in the script department for the best director have won the script nomination without exception, making the competition in the script department a fierce trend, and also allowing the "Soul Song King" to fall behind in the queue for the best film.

The first to be awarded are the best adapted scripts, "Glass of Wine Life", "Before Sunset", "Motorcycle Diary", "Looking for Neverland", and "Million Dollar Baby" became the last competitor. Among them, "Glass of Wine Life" can be said to be a leader. The script written by Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor R demonstrates the skills of lines and is full of life wisdom, which is worth savoring. Since the movie landed on the big screen, the script has received countless praises, which has promoted the reputation of film works to rise step by step, and eventually became a hot awards season.

It can be said that "Glass of Wine Life" is an absolute favorite to win awards. Perhaps this work is trapped by the limitations of the sketch style and cannot win the Best Picture Award, but the best adapted script is generally considered to be its own.

But it cannot be ignored that "Million Dollar Baby" was shortlisted for the department. This work emerged in the second half of the awards season, allowing "Old Cowboy" Clint Eastwood to receive countless praises, and has become the strongest opponent of the "Flyer" to be king. If "Glass of Drink Life" may fail, the "Million Dollar Baby" is light, and the script from shallow to deep is undoubtedly the biggest favorite to win the award.

Relatively speaking, the height of the other three works is limited.

"Before Sunset" inherited the qualities of "Before Sunrise" nine years ago. One step closer to discussing love, life, marriage, and even life. This love sketch has received praise and won a place for the best adapted script. However, compared with "Glass of Drink Life", the depth of thought and the plot are still too little, and the overall height is not as good as the latter's two biographical films, "Motorcycle Diary" and "Looking for Dream Island", have similar problems. The pattern is neat and the quality is outstanding, but the afterglow is relatively simple, and the exploration of the core of thought is limited, especially in comparison with the magnificent biographical film "Flyer", which is slightly insufficient.

Therefore, the final award should be born between "Glass of Wine Life" and "Million Dollar Baby". If "Million Dollar Baby" can win the Little Golden Man, then this will completely change the entire situation. "Flyer" will face the most powerful challenge, and the winning and losing balance will return to a starting line with two powerful trophysical best supporting actor plus the best adapted script. This is enough to smooth out the disadvantages of the "Flyer" four Little Golden Man.

All of this made the atmosphere tense again.

However, there was no surprise. "Glass of Wine Life" won strongly, ending the suspense. This work, which received numerous praises during the awards season, finally won the first Little Golden Man tonight after missing the Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress, and it was also the most popular award.

Lance stood up and gave Alexander a hug and expressed his congratulations. Alexander seemed very calm. Although a person like him who focused on movies wholeheartedly cannot be said to be indifferent to fame and fortune, at least he cannot be completely out of the matter like Woody Allen, he will not be worried about gains and losses, and his mentality is maintained very well.

After Alexander and Jim left the stage, the awarding of the best original scripts immediately became seamless.

Similar to the Best Adapted Screenplay, the Best Original Screenplay also shows the division of two groups. The difference is that in the First Group, "Eternal Sunshine of the Beautiful Heart", "Viladrake" and "Killing with a Knife", while "Flyer" and "Superman Mobilization" are slightly inferior.

Although the "Flyer" is so powerful that it is not so powerful during the awards ceremony, this work does not have any advantage when entering the script department. The script with a grand structure, distinctive characters and compact rhythm is indeed good, and it can be regarded as an excellent biographical script. However, facing the original department that has many strong players this year, the "Flyer" can only be considered stable and has no merits and no mistakes. In particular, the characterization of the characters relies entirely on the performance of the actors, and the contribution of the script itself is really limited.

As an animation, "Superman Mobilization" has a congenital lack of nature and its excellent story is eye-catching, but it is difficult to gain an advantage in the competition for original scripts. The judges of the college always have a fixed pattern: for cartoons, the best animated feature film award is the best award, and other departments will leave it to the movies. The same is true for foreign language films, so it is even more difficult for cartoons and foreign language films to achieve breakthroughs in major awards.

Looking at the entire awards season, "Eternal Sunshine of the Beautiful Heart" is undoubtedly the most praised work. The script with wonderful ideas and open minds is also full of humanistic care. It discusses love, sacrifice, memory, and human nature. Even if you watch and read it repeatedly, you will not lose the charm of the script. On the contrary, it will make people gain more benefits. This work is not only in the original department, but also in the entire script department, but also in the seed contestant who is the first to be a seed contestant!

"Viladrake" and "Killing with a Knife" are both works that have received countless praises during the awards ceremony. The former calmly and profoundly explores the conflicts and entanglements between religious beliefs and abortion. The entanglement between morality and law is presented from an almost indifferent perspective. After a sigh, the latter is cold and sharply presented social indifference to the audience, and then created a city of crime that is free from reality and illusion. In addition to following the spiritual thought of "City of God", it goes further.

Someone once joked that "the eternal sunshine of a beautiful soul" is a script where innovation is greater than anything else, while "Viladrake" and "killing with a knife" are scripts where skills are better than everything. Perhaps such an evaluation is not comprehensive, but it does accurately grasp the essence of the three works.

"The Eternal Sunshine of a Beautiful Heart" is undoubtedly the biggest favorite to win the award, but "Viladrake" and "Killing with a Knife" have the ability to become disruptors. Especially "Killing with a Knife" is worthy of attention, not because of its outstanding strength, but because this script was written by Reims.

Last year, Lance won the best adapted script with "City of God" and the Little Golden Man came again this year, showing the overwhelming talent of fresh forces, which is eye-catching. If Lance can achieve two consecutive victories in the script department, this will undoubtedly be another feat. After Woody Allen, another new screenwriter star was born.

However, this time, Lance faced the screenwriter genius Charlie Kaufman, who created the "puppet life", "adapted script", "confession of dangerous ideas", and the genius who has released all the works so far. Previously, Charlie had won the Oscar nomination twice, but he did not get any recognition. This time, he was bound to win.

Interestingly, "Flyer" is not a seed player in the best original script department, which is similar to the situation of "Million Dollar Baby". On the road to fighting for the best film, if "Flyer" can win this little golden man, it will basically kill the suspense and announce in advance that the ultimate suspense was broken tonight, especially when "Million Dollar Baby" missed the best adapted script, but if "Flyer" also missed the drama, it will continue.

So, when the best original script was announced, the audience held their breath.

As the party involved, Lance relaxed because he knew clearly that the possibility of winning the Little Golden Man in the screenwriter department for two consecutive years was too low. On the one hand, the judges of the college will inevitably consider the difficulty of "winning consecutive awards". "Killing people with a knife" has not reached such a height, so the judges are willing to make up their minds to give Lance such high praise, on the other hand, the competitors are strong. Even Lance himself will choose "eternal sunshine of a beautiful heart" in the voting stage rather than "killing people with a knife".

The final result once again met everyone's expectations. Without any surprise, Charlie Kaufman's name was spoken from Samuel. Oscar finally gave the genius screenwriter the recognition that the genius screenwriter deserved, and also announced that the melee of the best film will continue. The two works with the most promising victory will continue to fight. The one who laughs to the end is the real winner.

Lance stood up, Martin stood up, and all the audience stood up. Unlike the glory of Morgan winning the award just now, people were giving Charlie the highest honor. In the past five years, this screenwriter has made no mistakes, and he has made every effort in five works, and he has become the most recognized screenwriter in the industry. This little golden man can be said to be late.

Lance's eyes touched Martin in the air, and both of them showed helpless smiles, as if only he knew the bitterness of the loser. The similar curve of the corners of the mouth made a tacit laughter flash in both of them, and then they looked away and looked back at the stage, everything was silent.

After missing the Best Supporting Actor and Best Original Screenplay, the third nomination project of "Killing with a Knife" followed closely, with the Best Editing Award, but obviously, the protagonist tonight was not "Killing with a Knife", but the first strong collision between "Million Dollar Baby" and "Flyer" is not! To be continued.
