Cranes and clams fight each other, and fishermen gain benefits.

This has almost become the main theme of the entire awards season, but is it really that simple? Obviously not.

On June 10, 2004, a legendary musician, Ray Charles, died at home at the age of 73. The day after Ray died, the day when former US President Ronald Reagan NN was buried, he just died five days ago. On the day of the funeral, many radio stations played Ray's unforgettable performance at the 1985 Reagan inauguration ceremony. "Beautiful America" ​​he sang, which made countless fans cry.

On October 29, 2004, "The King of Souls" was released. Originally, this was just a film that paid tribute to Ray Charles, but unexpectedly became a work that commemorates a generation of singers. After the release, the film received fanatical attention from fans and movie fans, and Jamie's vivid performance was even more enthusiastic.

This is what it means to create heroes in the times. It was originally just an ordinary biographical movie, but because of the special timing, it unexpectedly became a carrier for people to express their remembrance and commemoration. In fact, it was not expected that Universal Pictures, its production and distribution company, did not expect such a situation. What's more, Jamie's outstanding performance was unanimously recognized, so Universal Pictures followed the flow and launched a powerful and targeted academy public relations.

In the past two years, the prosperity and prosperity of the black race movement has contributed to the success of the game. Jamie's excellent acting skills have been highly praised, and now he has the right time, place and people and has burst out the right energy at the right time, which makes Jamie the biggest favorite among the winners of the awards season!

Even if all subjective factors are aside, Jamie and Leonardo and Tom are not at a disadvantage in the contest between them, let alone the genius biographies, which have always been the favorite of the old scholars of the college.

Leonardo's performance in "Flying" is indeed full of tension, especially the scene where he was trapped in the screening room and was almost schizophrenia. Martin's shot gave Leonardo all the trust. The pain and struggle that penetrated his bones were shocking under Leonardo's interpretation, but overall, it lacked layering, and was not delicate enough and also burst out excessively. Instead, the performance seemed a bit too much. Compared to Jamie's performance in "The King of Soul Singing", which was free to retract, flowing, and soul-stirring, the difference could still be felt.

In the same biographical film, Jamie gave Ray Charles the soul, but Leonardo gave Howard Hughes more of his mark.

This is the gap.

"Killing with a knife" is known as Tom's best performance in his career, not only because he challenged the villain's acting skills, but also because his performance is indeed outstanding, with clear layers, clear characters, delicate portrayals, and moderate tension. In Lance's shot, he showed the role of Vincent to the fullest. Even after the movie ended, the audience felt a little confused about self-identity, and the shock swept across layer by layer like a tide.

However, the shortcomings of Tom's performance are regrettable. The moment when he lacks the final explosive power, the chemical reaction has already occurred, but it is impossible to completely detonate. Especially in the confrontation of the last few scenes, the lack of explosive power in the moment prevents Tom from getting to the next level. The afterglow of the last scene is far-reaching, lacking the finishing touch.

Of course, Jamie is not perfect, and the completion of the script and works of "Soul Song King" is still a bit short of the completion of the script and works, especially the script story cannot further promote the shadow bond of childhood nightmare, making the fullness and completion of the characters a bit short of both. Especially the root cause of Ray becoming a "bastard", which leads to Jamie's performance lacking a foothold, and the entire work does not produce a "beautiful soul"-like chemical reaction. This is really regrettable.

Looking at the entire awards season, the showdown between Tom and Leonardo was the same for a while. This is also due to the consideration of ratings. The TV station has been promoting and creating momentum, which has made people more expectation for the Oscars. The inseparability between the two has indeed made the battle for the actors full of highlights.

However, it is reflected in the award division, but there is another situation.

Leonardo won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in Drama, and the Los Angeles Critics Association Award, the San Francisco Critics Association Award, and the San Francisco Critics Association Award. Tom won the North American Radio and Film Critics Association Award, the Boston Film Critics Association Award, the New York Film Critics Association Award and the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Award for his best performance in his career.

In addition to winning the Golden Globes Best Actor in Music Comedy, Jamie also won the American Actors Association Award, which is also the most important award in the entire awards season, because the number of actors among the six thousand judges in the academy is close to half, which seems to indicate that Jamie will most likely laugh to the end and truly reap the benefits of the fisherman at the Oscar.

It can be called a three-legged rival, and due to the importance of the American Actors Union Award, Jamie came from behind and has become the biggest favorite of the actors!

Of course, Oscars are never that simple competition for strength.

Just like Jamie's black vote, Ray Charles' mourning vote Leonardo's connection vote, Martin's sympathy vote Tom's accumulation and precipitation in Hollywood will undoubtedly become the biggest weapon.

Tom has been in Hollywood for more than 20 years and has made great contributions. He has been ignored for three Oscar nominations, including the shocking passing of "Magnolia". Compared to Leonardo, Tom's mental journey is obviously more difficult and his career is more twists and turns. Perhaps if he missed this time, the fate between Tom and the Oscar will be truly over. Therefore, many people have an idea that this year is now, and this year is Tom's year. This is also the situation Paramount has worked hard to create in the public relations process of the academy.

Due to the existence of these three candidates, the other two nominees of Best Actor, Don and Clint, were almost ignored.

The real highlight of "Million Dollar Baby" is that in terms of the overall completion of the movie, from shallow to deep, and from the small to the big, it tells the choice and respect of life. As the male protagonist, Clint's style is completely covered up by Morgan, and winning the nomination is victory. Even if "Million Dollar Baby" and "Flyer" are direct competitors, it is undeniable that Clint cannot compete with Leonardo in this award.

"Rwanda Hotel" is a regrettable tragedy. Even Diorama Film itself has clearly realized this. The black card has completely lost its effect because of the existence of "Soul Song King". Moreover, the topic of Rwanda that has been silent for ten years is not as good as Ray Charles's just passing away. From the perspective of performance skills, although Tang's performance is good, the weak script and the thinness of the characters limit his further exploration. It cannot be compared with Jamie in all aspects. Leonardo and Tom are also superior in skills.

So, although there are five seats nominated, after the awards season begins and before the Oscar nomination list is announced, it is a three-legged battle. Clint understands this, Tang understands this, and Diorama, who is standing behind it, also understands this.

Will Tom and Leonardo's crane clam fight decide a victory? Can Jamie reap the benefits? Who will laugh at the end of the three-legged pattern? Can Don and Clint, who seem to be running with each other, make a bloody road? All of this makes the competition for the best actor the biggest highlight tonight.

There is no doubt that Lance hopes that Tom can win, not only because Tom's performance this year is really exciting, he almost pushed Tom to the extreme, and pulled back from fragmented confusion and collapse several times, but he had no room to breathe, and had to devote himself to the performance again. Tom's potential has been fully realized, and it is also because this is very likely to be Tom's last chance. Compared with Leonardo, who is only 30 years old, Tom is 42 years old this year. After more than 20 years of carrying idol burden, if he misses this opportunity, it is very likely that the idol burden will never be able to be taken down, and he does not have the strength to launch a new round of attacks again.

So, for Tom and to "kill with a knife", Lance crossed his fingers and prayed silently.

At the 77th Oscar in history, Lance clearly remembers the final ending: Jamie Fox successfully became emperor, which was the only one nomination in his acting career, and it was also the only Little Golden Man in his acting career. No one questioned Jamie's strength. His performance in "The King of Souls" was indeed wonderful. Leonardo lost convincingly, but people joked more that Jamie chose a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to complete the incredible outbreak in his acting career. From then on, he could never be replicated, but he achieved his own glory. Unfortunately, Leonardo embarked on a long journey of chasing Little Golden Man.

Will the wheel of history change again? Can "killing with a knife" reappear miracles again? Unknown, everything is full of uncertainty.

In a trance, Lance felt that his breathing began to gradually relax, even more nervous than when he competed for the best supporting actor and the best original script. The suffocation feeling of the clockwork that kept tightening in his heart rose little by little until he drowned himself, and he couldn't even feel the gap.

Standing on the stage, Charlize Theron opened the envelope in his hand with a smile, "The winner of the 77th Academy Awards is" The atmosphere became tense, and the envelope seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. Charlize accidentally tore the envelope, which made the scene chuckle. Charlize also pursed his lips in embarrassment, but after this brief relaxation, he became more and more nervous in the blink of an eye, as if even the air had reached a boiling point.

Charlize looked down at the card in the envelope, his pupils flashed slightly. Is it Leonardo, Tom, or Jamie? It seemed that the weight of tens of millions of eyes, the weight of decades of years poured down in an instant, and everyone held their breath, "Tom Cruise, kill someone with a knife."

Boom! The biggest suspense tonight was revealed, and it was also the biggest unpopular birth! History has changed the trajectory! To be continued.
Chapter completed!
