The 78th Academy Awards announced its nomination list. "Brokeback Mountain" continued the leading momentum of the entire awards season, earning eight nominations, defending the honor of its top seed, including the best film, best director, best adapted script, best actor, best supporting actor, best supporting actress, and best supporting actress, clearly proves the strength and excellence of this work in its comprehensive strength and has been praised unanimously. Although the lack of the best movie editing nomination, this casts a shadow on the film's Oscar prospects, the nominations for the best photography and best original soundtrack have truly created history.

Regardless of the final awards of the Oscars, Brokeback Mountain has made history. This is the first work in film history to win such praise for homosexual films. Although the Philadelphia Story in 1993 also tells a homosexual story, it focuses more on human rights and law than the homosexual theme. Tom Hanks won the Oscar winner Little Golden Man with this work, but overall, not to mention the nomination for Best Picture, even the nomination for Best Director was not shortlisted.

The emergence of "Brokeback Mountain" is an important node in history. When people look back at this moment ten years later, they will understand the artistic and social value of this film.

Like "Brokeback Mountain", "Fruit Hard Candy" is also creating its own history. In the history of the Oscars, there are many people who won Oscar nominations and even the Little Golden Man. However, even the pioneering work of the film "Sunset Avenue", its artistic value has been recognized by time. At the Oscars, it has only won awards from the main department of Best Adapted Screenplay, as well as the Best Art Director and Best Soundtrack. From this, it can be seen that film noir has always adhered to the Oscars of the optimistic and positive American Dream.

But now, "Fruit Hard Candy" has the ability to hit awards in many major departments, and even compete with "Brokeback Mountain", which is incredible. The most important thing is that "Fruit Hard Candy" is not just a movie noir, but also a sketch independent film with limited layout. Coupled with a mere $900,000 investment, even "Sunset Avenue" consumed 1.8 million US dollars when filmed in 1960. It is such a work, a work that the academy simply disdained, and a work that Hollywood would not notice, has become one of the biggest hits in this year's Oscars, which is like a miracle in a fairy tale.

If "Fruit Hard Candy" wins eventually, the historical significance of noir and independent films should not be underestimated. Judging from the nomination list, this possibility not only exists, but also is not small.

Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Movie Editing, Best Photography, Best Sound Effects, a total of seven nominations!

Compared with "Brokeback Mountain", "Fruit Hard Candy" is not at all inferior. Although it lacks the other three nominations for the acting department, this is because "Fruit Hard Candy" only has two main actors participating in the performance, and there is no competition at all. Instead, it is recognized for the best film editing and best photography. These two departments are the focus of the technical department, which also makes "Fruit Hard Candy" the only work that has been shortlisted for all core departments this year.

"Brokeback Mountain" and "Capote" missed the Best Film Editing Award, "Munich Tragedy" missed the acting department, and "Crash" missed the Best Photography Award.

Who would have thought that after the nomination list was announced, "Fruit Hard Candy" actually became the leader in this year's Oscars?

Strictly speaking, "Crash" has a strong attitude of coming from behind and competing with "Fruit Hard Candy". This work, which has "participated" in awards season for two consecutive years, fought a vigorous turnaround battle and successfully won six nominations at the Oscars, chasing "Brokeback Mountain" and "Fruit Hard Candy". Moreover, all of these six nominations are concentrated on the blade, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Movie Editing, and Best Original Song.

Although "Crash" failed to occupy the nomination seat in the Best Photography Award, it is actually harmless. The Best Photography Award is not the winner and loser to the final situation. On the contrary, "Crash" is like "Fruit Hard Candy". The director, actor, script and editing departments all won the nominations, and the producer department is the Best Picture, without any omissions. In terms of nomination efficiency and quality, "Crash" is even slightly better than "Fruit Hard Candy".

Judging from the current situation, the competition between "Fruit Hard Candy" and "Brokeback Mountain" will be the main theme, but unexpectedly, "Crash" has quietly achieved the ability to disrupt the situation, which makes the direction of the best film even more confusing. Don't forget, there is still a "Munich tragedy" that anyone can forget.

Under the leadership of Steven Spielberg, the "Munich Tragedy" is an opponent that cannot be ignored at any time. It has won five seats on the nomination list, which is proof. Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Movie Editing, Best Original Soundtrack, Like "Crash", it was successfully shortlisted in the main departments, which means that Steven's appeal will become an irregular time bomb, just like the nomination stage. Even if the overall strength of the work is slightly inferior, people are still willing to vote for Steven.

In addition, those who ignore "Capote" also sounded the alarm. Five nominations proved the degree of recognition of this work within the academy. The super high quality of the five nominations is even more eye-catching. Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Adapted Screenplay, which reminds people of the "Mysterious River" two years ago. Maybe they don't have the strength to hit the best film, but every department has the strength to be upset, especially the acting department and screenwriter department.

In other words, this year's nominations are very concentrated. Five best film nominations have almost won all the major awards from major departments, ending the entire awards season in advance, truly guiding attention to these five works, and also means that all five works have the possibility of winning, each works have shortcomings, each works have advantages, each works have clusters, and each works have defects. Even the number one seed contestant, everything is possible before the list of awards is announced.

In addition, "Walking with Songs" who led the awards season for most of the awards season was not able to replicate the miracle of "Soul King" last year, but he still received five nominations, but the quality of the nomination needs to be discounted. Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Movie Editing, Best Costume Design, Best Sound Effect, and the most interesting part is that after missing the nominations for Best Film and Best Director, this work was actually absurdly step on the shoulders of "Brokeback Mountain" and was nominated for the best movie editing battle, which made people laugh and cry.

The same is true for the "Immortal Gardener" who has received a lot of praise. The four nominations include three core departments, including Best Supporting Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Movie Editing, and one nomination for Best Original Soundtrack, but it has been completely declared that it has no chance to be with the ultimate suspense.

After the nomination list was announced, the awards ceremony season officially entered the sprint stage, which can definitely be called the Eight Immortals showing their magical powers across the sea. Especially considering this year's melee situation, the top five players have the possibility of winning, and neither side is willing to give up easily. Even the current leading focus film industry does not dare to take it lightly.

Focus Pictures is undoubtedly the biggest winner of this year's awards season. The two works "Brokeback Mountain" and "Immortal Gardener" have joined hands to win twelve nominations for Focus Pictures, so that "pride and prejudice" cannot allocate public relations resources. The troubles of choosing too many things really make other major companies jealous. Now that the nomination list is out, all the resources of Focus Pictures will inevitably tilt towards "Brokeback Mountain" and make a last-minute attempt.

Creating history has never been so easy, and you have to do your best.

However, Chaos Pictures, which was second only to Focus Pictures in the nomination stage, is really confusing. The two works "Fruit Hard Candy" and "Squid and Whale" have received nine nominations for Chaos Pictures. Although they held a good card in their hands due to a mistake in public relations strategy, they unfortunately missed the competition for the best actress, highlighting the first time this company has made the immature and immature impact on the awards season with its own strength, no one will express regret or sympathy for Chaos Pictures, because the praises that the two works have won in the past few months have not been underestimated. Chaos Pictures has almost no time to complete the full takeover of all resources of the New Market Pictures, and has rapidly grown into an independent film company. It can now even challenge Focus Pictures directly.

But the problem is here. Chaos Pictures has won the opportunity to fight directly with Focus Pictures. The momentum of "Fruit Hard Candy" is like a wild horse that is unstoppable. It even has the opportunity to create a history of winning the Best Picture Championship, not to mention that Lance has strong competitiveness in the three departments of Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Original Script. No company will easily miss such an opportunity.

But at the same time, everyone also clearly knows that the strong competitiveness of "Fruit Hard Candy" is based on Lance. If Lance misses the college's public relations, it will be difficult to break through the siege under the attack of the other four works. If Lance misses the Oscars, it will almost be declared that he has completely lost his chance to the Little Golden Man. Simply put, if "Fruit Hard Candy" wants to create history, Lance must appear!

But...but! But the official Chaos Film industry still didn't make any noise! ​​But the crew of "Rampant Road" is still investing in filming in Africa! But Lance still shows no sign of returning to Los Angeles, and even Charlize Theron, who was shortlisted for the film queen, was silent! However, the Academy announced the fourth batch of guests attending the Oscars, but Lance still did not have Lance!

Things have begun to become more and more strange, and the possibility of Lance's absence from the Oscar is gradually becoming true. To be continued.
Chapter completed!
