1140 Absolute strength
Best Actor nominees: Bradley Cooper for "Silver Linings Playbook", Daniel Day-Lewis for "Lincoln", Joaquin Phoenix for "The Master", Hugh Jack for "Les Misérables" Man, and...the "transcendent" Renly Hall.
Unpopular, this is the second upset on this year's Oscar nomination list after Best Director Ben Affleck was eliminated; or in other words, this is the second upset in the awards season after "Love" and "Beasts of the Southern Wild". In the final stage of the second stage, another unpopular one appears on the nomination list.！
Looking at the entire awards season, Denzel Washington deserves to be the third seed, winning Golden Globe Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards, National Board of Review Awards, North American Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards, San Francisco Film Critics Association Awards, and Los Angeles Film Critics Awards. Association Awards... All major outpost nominations were successfully won.
Although he has never been able to win an award, he has not been able to break through the joint blockade of Bradley and Daniel; even above the Golden Globe Award, Hugh Jackman stood out in the musical comedy department, surpassing Bradley Cooper, and Danzig Er was still strongly suppressed by Daniel in the plot department, and was not able to win a single trophy throughout the awards season..
However, nominations from major outposts are still easy to come by. Denzel is also jokingly called this year's "strongest running companion"”.
This year, facing the absolute strength of Daniel Day-Lewis, other actors basically accompany him throughout the whole process. However, in the position of accompanying him, Denzel is even more secure than Bradley and Hugh. Because the latter two are both It's from the musical comedy department, and he's from the drama department, which gives him an inherent advantage over the Oscars..
Reality is cruel.
Oscar nominations announced, Denzel Washington eliminated, Renly Hall airborne.
So far, Renly has only received two nominations in the long awards season, one from the New York Film Critics Circle Award and one from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards..
These are undoubtedly two important cities and occupy a vital position in the awards season, but people do not pay much attention to them. Instead, they generally believe that they are taken care of by their "real mother".
On one side is New York, the birthplace of Renly's artistic career; on the other side is England, Renly's true hometown, which will naturally receive more recognition. Therefore, it cannot play a crucial role in the true direction of the Oscar nominations..
Apparently people were wrong.
After "Beasts of the Southern Wild" and after Joaquin Phoenix, Renly Hall became another nominee for this year's Oscars..
Similar to the former, the independent film community has received unanimous praise for its solid reputation and outstanding skills. However, due to the lack of public relations resources of the academy, it has always been tepid during the awards season, and even lost sight of everyone..
Similar to the latter, the highly recognized performances - "Transcendence" was the Best Actor in Berlin last year, and "The Master" was the Best Actor in Venice last year. They have solid and deep reputations among professionals, but they are both absent from the academy's public relations.
But in the end, relying on its absolute strength, absolute prestige, absolute professional authority and strength, it entered the Oscar nomination list, completely reversing the disadvantage of not being able to expand publicity during the awards season, and completely reversing the fact that the Oscars were gradually becoming a public relations event. The situation of the game has completely reversed the rumors that the Oscars have become increasingly commercialized, leading to a decline in authority..
When people talk about Daniel Day-Lewis, the first impression that comes to mind is: professionalism and strength.
This year's "Lincoln", Daniel attended a small number of college public relations occasions, but mainly to cooperate with Steven Spielberg's publicity. He only practiced polite etiquette and did not devote himself wholeheartedly to public relations..
Despite this, in the battle for the Oscar, Daniel still came out on top, surpassing Anne Hathaway's advantage in the supporting actress department, and became the least suspenseful one among the major awards this year. You know, once Winning the award will be Daniel's third Best Actor Oscar, setting a new record in history, but Daniel still has such a huge advantage..
This is the domineering power of absolute strength.
Now, the same is true for the "Master" Joaquin and the "transcendent" Renly. In the fierce battle, superior strength has become the best guide, even if there is no college public relations, even if there is no media publicity, Even if it is hidden in a pile of gravel, it can still easily stand out.
So are "Beasts of the Southern Wild" and "Love".
After the chaotic pattern of last year's awards ceremony, this year's Oscars showed great courage during the nomination stage. If it hadn't been for Ben Affleck's accident, I'm afraid this courage would have been carried through to the award voting. Unfortunately, Now that an accident has occurred, it is unclear how much this courage can still be used..
By the way, the Oscar nominees for Best Actor ended up exactly matching the nominees for the New York Film Critics Circle Awards and the British Academy Awards..
After being nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor with "Transcendence", this also created Renly's own history: he has received Oscar nominations for three consecutive years. If he can continue this momentum next year, he will also tie Marlon Brando. and Al Pacino’s record. No wonder after the nomination list came out, people couldn’t wait to call Renly the “Brando of the 21st century.””.
It's not because Renly and Malone have similar styles and aura, but because both actors became famous at a young age and quickly established themselves with their outstanding abilities, and finally created their own era..
Of course, compared to Malone, who has been in the film industry for nearly 30 years, Renly is still too young and immature, and his future prospects are still uncertain; nevertheless, Renly has successfully continued his strong performance in 2012 all the way to the awards. Mid-season.
From the screening to the expanded screening, the box office performance of "Transcendence" is pretty good, but it is still lower than people's expectations; coupled with the mixed reviews during the awards season, "Transcendence" has never been able to break into the Oscar nomination list before the list came out. Being at the top of the competition list is gradually being forgotten by people, so many media can’t wait to say that Renly’s first Waterloo in his career has arrived..
Feeling sad, lamenting, regretting, sighing, some people have even begun to worry about the box office prospects of "Gravity".
But now, facts have proven that those worries were unnecessary. Renly's acting career not only did not fall into the quagmire, but also continued to rise. After "Transcendence" successfully achieved box office profits, it once again entered the Oscar nomination stage. This also brings a perfect end to Renly’s glorious and dazzling 2012..
Interestingly, The Weinstein Films, which has no direct competition with "Transcendence", has once again become the focus of attention in the industry.
After the nomination list was announced, Harvey Weinstein gaffefully smashed a champagne bucket onto the tennis court, causing minor injuries to a ball boy; and then smashed a locker at the tennis club. The club subsequently released Announcement, Harvey was officially banned from entering the club again; in the end, Harvey smashed a Lamborghini with a golf club.
Amid the blockade from powerful forces, Harvey still failed to prevent Renly from reaching the top. He watched helplessly as Renly was nominated for the final stage of the Best Actor competition for the third consecutive year. It's a shame, especially when we go all out to carry out the encirclement and suppression campaign this year..
Harvey was furious.
The entire industry can feel the anger from Harvey, even more than Affleck, and it continues in a mighty way. It is unpredictable when this anger will end and who it will burn. At least it can be What is certain is that in this year’s third phase of college public relations, Harvey will never give up..
This matter is not over; to be precise, it has just begun.！
Unintentionally, "Renly VS Harvey", Renly wins again.
As for the chance of winning at the award ceremony, it is no longer important now. Whether it is a supporting role or a supporting role, even if it is an upset in the end, this nomination is already the best affirmation for "Detachment" Got it.
Just like "Beasts of the Southern Wild", after an independent film is nominated and affirmed, its exposure rate rises sharply. This is the greatest affirmation for artistic creators, forming a virtuous circle and truly stimulating the long-term development of the entire film industry..
Eight days after the Oscar nominations were announced, Renly received an email from Tony Kaye. In the email, he first expressed his congratulations to Renly for receiving the nomination, but the focus was still on the latter, describing in detail His experience in Romania：
“Surprisingly, people here actually watch this work and are inspired by it. Now, thanks to the Oscar nominations, more and more countries are willing to introduce it, and more and more independent film workers are encouraged, which is a good thing..
It would be great if this movie can also arouse people's attention to education. I am now considering using the name of Oscar to organize a tour in the United States, hoping that more and more people will pay attention to the education level of slums. And teaching staff. This is the future of the country.”
For Tony, the nomination is just an award. After congratulations, he forgets about it. In the final analysis, his enthusiasm and concern are still in the film itself and social welfare..
However, changing another angle, even a rebel who is ignorant of the world has expressed concern about the Oscars and made full use of the influence of Oscar nominations to try to further promote charity and artistic causes. This aspect also confirms the powerful influence of the Oscars power, the aftermath of a nomination is far longer and far-reaching than imagined.
Then, after the Academy announced the nomination list, the shock and sensation in Los Angeles was even more unimaginable..
Fortunately, the existence of "Beasts of the Southern Wild" and "Love" and Ben Affleck's outburst stole most of the attention; this also allowed "Detachment" and Renly, who have always maintained a low profile, to avoid the hottest attention This also allowed Renly to maintain an absolutely quiet environment and devote himself wholeheartedly to the filming of "The Ballad of Drunken Country".
The official announcement of the nomination list also means that the awards season has entered the third stage and begun to sprint forward.！
