1139 airborne list
The nomination list for the 85th Academy Awards is out.
The Best Director list has successfully exceeded everyone's expectations. Although Ben Affleck is not so talented that he leads the way and sweeps the entire army; but objectively speaking, "Escape from Tehran" is indeed worthy of a Best Director nomination, and now it is Being eliminated during the nomination stage immediately completely disrupted the entire awards season..
If we follow the normal trajectory, "Lincoln" should be the top seed for this year's best film. Defeating its opponents to reach the top spot is a high probability event. "Life of Pi," "Escape from Tehran," "Love" and "The Hunt" "This ***" will form the second legion, waiting for the opportunity to launch an attack.
The Best Director category should be a tripartite competition between Steven Spielberg, Ben Affleck, and Lee/Ang. It is normal for anyone to stand out. Spielberg and Affleck have a slight advantage, but The rest depends on the college's public relations in the third stage. Spielberg's third summit is also a probability event with a slight advantage..
But now, Affleck was surprisingly eliminated during the nomination stage, which completely disrupted the entire situation..
Every voter feels guilty, because even they themselves have failed, and they know that they owe Affleck a nomination; then, Warner Bros., who is responsible for production and distribution, and George who serves as producer - Clooney took advantage of this feeling of guilt to make a big fuss, completely giving up on public relations for the Best Director department, and focusing on attacking the Best Picture. What will happen to the outcome?？
This will not only affect "Lincoln"'s best picture prospects, but also Spielberg's best director prospects..
Now, the trend of the entire awards season outpost has been completely disrupted. The original theories and rules are no longer used, completely overturning the shuffle. The next trend of the academy's public relations is also in chaos, and no one can accurately predict it..
This is the biggest upset this year! Even surpassing Renly last year to win the Best Actor Award, all the voters in the entire Academy were in deep astonishment..
Rumor has it that within two weeks before the Golden Globe Awards, Affleck stated on multiple occasions that he was the best candidate for Best Director this year, and showed disrespect for other competitors..
No one should forget that Affleck is the representative of the "Boston Gang". It is not just the cultural war between the East Coast and the West Coast. Even on the East Coast, the opposition between Boston and New York has been around for a long time. Young people are complacent and arrogant. Affleck just showed the self-righteous and superior attitude of the Boston gang. This also changed the voting trend in the nomination stage.——
Because during the nomination stage, only department members can vote. In other words, the best director can only be selected by the director's vote. Obviously, there is quite a bit of criticism about Affleck within the director..
But in the winning stage, other department members can also vote. Sympathy votes and guilt votes will play an unimaginable role..
Therefore, even after the nomination list came out, Affleck publicly vented his dissatisfaction on multiple occasions; even after the nomination list came out, Affleck still openly challenged the authority of the academy. However, no one was willing to stand up for this farce. Prevent.
The list of nominees for Best Director has created the biggest upset in this year's Oscar nomination stage. In addition, Best Original Screenplay, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress are all nominated in the four categories. are relatively stable.
Best Original Screenplay, "Django Unchained," "Moonrise Kingdom," "Flights," "Love," "The Hunt"**”.
Best Adapted Screenplay, "Escape from Tehran," "Beasts of the Southern Wild," "Silver Linings Playbook," "Lincoln," "Life of Pi"”.
There is a lack of huge surprises in both departments. "The Master" is absent from the best original screenplay, and the mediocre "Flight" entered the list at the last moment, which is a small surprise; and among the best adapted screenplays, "Southland" The final selection of "Beast" is a surprise, but the competitiveness of other works is already mediocre, so it cannot be regarded as a surprise..
Best Supporting Actor: Christoph Waltz for "Django Unchained", Philip Seymour Hoffman for "The Master", Tommy Lee Jones for "Lincoln", Allen Jones for "Escape from Tehran" Akin, "Silver Linings Playbook's" Robert De Niro, takes five spots.
Best Supporting Actress: Anne Hathaway for "Les Misérables", Sally Field for "Lincoln", Amy Adams for "The Master", Helen Hunt for "Intimate Treatment" -Hunt, "Silver Linings Playbook's" Jacki-Weaver, finalist.
The unexpected part is that the two supporting actors of "Silver Linings Playbook", Robert and Jackie, successfully counterattacked. This also proves that this work is still very promising in terms of Oscars. They respectively replaced " Leonardo DiCaprio in "Django Unchained" and Nicole Kidman in "The Paperboy".
However, compared to the shocking upset in the Best Director category, these small surprises are actually nothing special, and there is nothing worth mentioning at all..
The same is true for the best actress. Jennifer Lawrence from "Silver Linings Playbook", Jessica Chastain from "Survivor", and Naomi Watts from "Twilight Zone" are basically the same. They are all common candidates for nomination among the major outposts, and the final success in receiving the nomination is completely expected..
A small surprise appeared in the other two seats, Marion Cotillard from "Rust and Bone", Meryl Streep from "Great Hope Springs", and Judi Dench from "Hotel" , "Hitchcock's" Helen Mirren and other veteran actors were not nominated, but two other unfamiliar faces were nominated..
In particular, Marion Cotillard and Helen Mirren, who were nominated for the Screen Actors Guild Award, were eliminated at the last moment, which was quite unexpected. The two actors who were finally nominated were：
One is the oldest nominee in film history, Emmanuelle Riva of "Love"; the other is the youngest nominee in film history, Quvenzhané Wallis of "Beasts of the Southern Wild". Standing out at the last moment, both received their first Oscar nominations and updated the list with a history-making gesture..
Looking through the entire nomination list, we can simply summarize it like this. The two works "Beasts of the Southern Wild" and "Love" have completely landed on the Oscar nomination list and become the biggest spoilers this year; and after "Escape from Tehran" lost the Best Director nomination, then Completely disrupting the competitive landscape among major award contenders.
Among the major awards is the last Best Actor Award.
The pattern throughout this year’s awards season is relatively clear, with Bradley Cooper in “Silver Linings Playbook”, Daniel Day-Lewis in “Lincoln” and Denzel Washington in “Flight” all firmly in the spotlight. Occupying the top three seats.
“Hugh Jackman of "Les Misérables", John Hawkes of "Intimacy", Joaquin Phoenix of "The Master", and Jamie Foxx of "Django Unchained" are competing fiercely. , there are two seats left in the competition. Judging from the Golden Globe nominations, Jamie Foxx has fallen behind. In other words, three actors are competing for the last two spots..
Overall, after the second phase of the awards season comes to an end, the entire pattern has become relatively stable, without the chaos and surprises of previous years. The clear context also allows all eyes to focus on a few works and a few actors. , the suspense is relatively more concentrated.
final list of nominees：
Bradley Cooper received his first Oscar nomination for "Silver Linings Playbook". This 18th-tier handsome actor who turned around with "The Hangover" has finally ushered in the golden period of his career..
Daniel Day-Lewis also firmly occupies a place. This four-time Oscar nominee and two-time Best Actor winner is an absolute drama. This year, with his superb acting skills in "Lincoln", he undoubtedly became the number one player and was crowned Emperor three times. The voice is overwhelming.
Joaquin Phoenix, who is highly recognized among "Masters", won the Best Actor Award for this film at the Venice Film Festival, but was hampered by the Academy's lack of public relations during the awards season and was never able to make a breakthrough..
Joaquin himself participated in most of the academy's public relations in Los Angeles, but he was at a loss in the flattering parties one after another. He finally left the party angrily and went to Australia alone, saying, "I would rather use this time to shoot one more film. It’s not like betraying oneself in the midst of a banquet..”
After that, Joaquin's awards season momentum declined steadily. Although he won a Golden Globe nomination, he lost a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination. Just when everyone thought that Joaquin would lose his nomination seat, John Hawkins would When he came to power, he achieved a reversal at the last moment and received his third Oscar nomination..
“Hugh Jackman of "Les Misérables" has also been controversial this year, especially in the direct comparison between the movie version and the drama version. Jackman's performance and momentum fell into a rut early on, and he has never been able to open up the situation. But Jackman However, he maintained a gentlemanly demeanor. Not only did he not avoid the problem, but he also faced his own shortcomings and shortcomings calmly and opened his arms to accept opinions..
In the academy's public relations, Jackman's humor and warmth made people feel at ease. This also allowed "Les Misérables" to regain its disadvantage bit by bit and successfully return to the Oscar competition. In the end, Jackman also gained personal rewards. first Oscar nomination.
Jackman, who became famous early with "The Wolverine", has become another Australian superstar to land in Hollywood in the new century. Many people think that he seems to have received an Oscar nomination long ago; but the fact is that "The Wolverine" won him gained fame, but also hampered his prospects for an Oscar..
It was not until this year that "Les Miserables" received his first nomination. It is still Broadway, it is still a stage play, it is still the field that Jackman is most familiar with and is best at..
Bradley, Daniel, Joaquin, and Hugh, four actors occupy the four nomination seats. So, according to the award season outpost, the last nomination seat should naturally belong to Denzel Washington of "Flight" Got it！
Denzel, who has always been nominated for major outposts, can be said to be the most stable third-seeded player in this year's awards season after Daniel and Bradley. Nominations should be easy to come by, but the reality is……
“"Detachment" Renly Hall.
