494 The Fisherman's Profit
Before the Oscars tonight began, everyone was focusing on the "Flyer" and "Million Dollar Baby". If nothing unexpected happens, the Best Picture will be born in these two works. Overall, the "Flyer" is huge and leads the "Million Dollar Baby" all the way and has a lot of momentum and is rising steadily. Martin Scorses vs. Clint Eastwood, which is obviously a full-scale showdown.
After entering the ceremony, the "Flyer" showed a powerful aura of devouring mountains and rivers, winning four small gold men, pushing the momentum to the peak. The "Million Dollar Baby" was relatively low-key. Although the best supporting actor was very important, Morgan was ahead of the entire awards season and had limited momentum. The two works then missed the Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay, which further pushed the suspense. This also made the Best Editing Award pay attention to the attention of everyone. It seems that the trend of each award may lead to different endings, let alone the Best Editing Award of "Little Best Movie"!
Under such momentum, the three works nominated for the Best Editing Awards of "Soul Song King", "Looking for Dream Island" and "Borrowing a Knife to Kill" have all become supporting roles, which has also made many people feel sorry for, especially "Borrowing a Knife to Kill".
Although this award is known as one of the most important weather vanes of the best film, due to the particularity of editing work, the editing skills of commercial films are often more exciting than artistic films. Works such as "Black Hawk Down" and "The Matrix" have snatched the award from the best films of that year. This year, the editing of "Borrowing a Knife" is obviously better than "Flyer" and "Million Dollar Baby".
In "Borrowing a Knife to Kill", the editing technique of combining fast and slow is smooth, and the precise control of the rhythm and the accurate grasp of the atmosphere is impressive. In particular, the control of the performance shots has made the film unique and unique style, and it also made the best performance in Tom Cruise's career.
Therefore, "killing someone with a knife" is undoubtedly the number one hottest in the Best Editing Award. Unfortunately, this year is not the year of "killing someone with a knife".
"Flyer" won again with an absolutely strong attitude, winning the Best Editing Award.
In an instant, the audience stood up for the third time, and warm applause swept over. This was not for the award-winning editor Selmas Quinmek, but for Martin Scorses, who had already taken the lead in the battle for the best film. After harvesting the fifth Little Golden Man tonight, "Flyer" undoubtedly became the number one seed player in the best film, and this momentum coincided with the development of the awards season.
Maybe Martin really wants to realize his dream.
"Flyer" won not only the Best Editing Award, but also the head-on confrontation with "Million Dollar Baby". This is the second direct collision of the two works tonight after the Best Supporting Actor Department. After lacking the appeal of Morgan Freeman, "Flyer" won with a strong suspense, continuing his strength to the big stage of the Kodak Theater.
All signs show that Mr. Martin is about to realize his dream. So, what about Leonardo? What about Leonardo who is naked, crazy and collapsed in the "Flying"?
People didn't have time to feel sorry for "borrowing a knife to kill people", and their attention immediately shifted to the highlight of tonight: the battle for the actors!
Martin turned to look at Lance, and said in a low voice, "So who do you support?"
Lance could hear a smile in Martin's voice, and his eyebrows raised slightly, and he did not answer immediately, but instead cast his eyes to the left, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was vaguely outlined. Martin also turned his head along Lance's gaze, and then saw Tom, whose smile was almost stiff on his face, and couldn't help but laughed softly.
Tom was whispering to Vanessa Paradis NSSRS beside him, next to him was Vanessa's partner Johnny Depp. Johnny's face also had a slight smile. He didn't seem to feel disappointed because he missed the battle for the best actor tonight. On the contrary, Tom, who had a smile on his face, seemed a little overreacting. His bright smile was like a mask for the Venetian Carnival, loosely wrapped around his face.
Little up your gaze, and then you can see Leonardo not far away.
Leonardo seemed very quiet, even a little too quiet, staring at the stage with his eyes openly performing the best original song on the stage. The "Believe" from "Polar Express", as if this was the most exciting performance in the world.
Giselle, who was sitting next to Leonardo, seemed to notice the abnormality of his lover. He raised his head slightly and looked at Leonardo with concentration in his eyes. He whispered something in his ear. Leonardo lowered his head slightly and listened with his ears, but his movements seemed very stiff. Even if he was six or seven steps apart, he could feel the muscles like stones, which prevented Leonardo from reacting more. He looked like a robot without oil, with rusty joints creaking.
That nervousness firmly controlled Tom and Leonardo, including Don Chandel and Jamie Fox, who were sitting not far away. Although Jamie still had a smile on her face, her expression seemed almost to cry, and she felt an inexplicable sense of joy in the dim light.
"Tom." Lance's voice came again, causing Martin to retract his gaze, and then he saw Lance's slightly nervous smile, "I chose Tom, this is Tom's best chance."
Martin's eyes, hidden behind the thick lenses, sparkled slightly, "I choose Leo." Through Lance's shoulder, Martin could see Clint Eastwood at the end of this row, he was the last candidate for the battle for the best actors, but Clint's pleated face looked calm, as if it was not affected at all, "Believe me, this is Leo's best chance."
Lance also turned his head and saw the quiet Clint. Lance suddenly remembered that twelve years ago, "Unforgivable" won three nominations for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor for Clint. In the end, he won the two Little Golden Man of Best Picture and Best Director twelve years later, "Million Dollar Baby" seemed to face a similar situation again, a clever cycle.
"Then let's pray for each other's supporters." Lance retracted his gaze and smiled at Martin.
Tom or Leonardo, Leonardo or Tom! This is almost the biggest hot topic throughout the awards season, and even surpassed the Best Picture for a time, becoming the most keen topic for people to discuss.
The two actors are twelve years apart, just one round. They can be said to be the representatives of two generations of idol actors in Hollywood. They have even become representatives of American actors. They are popular all over the world and become the most direct proof of the dominant position of American films in the past twenty years. Moreover, both of them have excellent acting skills and are tirelessly pursuing recognition of acting. Unfortunately, they have never been recognized by the college's idol identity, which has shackled the recognition of the college's judges.
This year, both actors have performed wonderful performances and made a major breakthrough in their careers. Howard Hughes, played by Leonardo, has been called "soul-entering acting" by countless film critics. The selfless crazy performance is completely inclined to the eye. Tom presents a completely different look from usual. His indifferent and evil performance seems calm, but the delicate changes between his eyebrows and eyes convey infinite meaning, which is simply jaw-dropping.
No matter who wins the Oscar, it seems to be the right choice and a natural choice.
Therefore, whether to choose Tom or Leonardo has become the topic that the people are most passionate about, which has divided Americans into two factions and launched a fierce battle of words, pushing the popularity of awards season to a new peak. This has also made the battle for actors the most concerned project tonight. Compared with the aesthetic standards required for the best film, the actors' closeness and directness are more intuitive and more involved to the people.
However, the topics spread among industry insiders are slightly different.
Both Leonardo and Tom have indeed devoted their best performances in their careers. Whether it is topical or performance skills, they are the most outstanding set of duels this year, but even facing these two "King Idols", there is still an actor who can no one ignores: Jamie Fox.
Jamie's performance in "The King of Souls" was not only amazing, but also impressive. Jamie has always been known as a comedian and has outstanding talent. She was popular all over the United States on TV screens in the 1990s. At the same time, Jamie's image of singing and dancing was even more popular. He not only released an album, but also won the Grammy nomination. He is a rare all-rounder.
But this time, in the "Soul Singing King", Jamie made the legendary and great life of an imperfect genius to the fullest. On the one hand, he was an addict and a wandering bastard, and on the other hand, he was a soul singer who conquered the world with music. His dazzling acting skills brought all the audience into that crazy and charming period and walked back through Ray Charles's mental journey.
The wonderful performance made everyone applaud. Although Jamie's appeal naturally could not be comparable to Tom and Leonardo, his three-point performance allowed him to firmly occupy a place in the awards season, and even the call once overshadowed two powerful competitors.
Many industry insiders believe that the match between Leonardo and Tom is likely to lead to a loss-making result, while Jamie, who is absolutely incredible, will reap the benefits and fight for a bloody road to win this battle for the best actors.
So, is it the idol Tom of twenty years or the "Jack of Forever" Leonardo? The palms and backs of hands are flesh, and no choice is that easy. Or is it to be chosen? To be continued.
