1677 overall pattern
After the Oscar nominations for Best Actor are released, the most regrettable and most embarrassing one is undoubtedly Tom Hanks..
This year, with the two works of "Captain Phillips" and "Big Dreamer", Tom Hanks's hope of winning an Oscar nomination again since 2000 has been rekindled, especially in the former. Tom has dedicated his superb and outstanding acting skills. The delicate performance of the protagonist's last moment of salvation is enough to be included in the top ten of 2013..
To this end, Tom is also actively running, and you can see his active presence throughout the awards season. After winning many outpost nominations, he successfully entered the list of Best Actor nominees for the Screen Actors Guild Awards. All of this indicates that With this, Tom is about to win another Oscar nomination after 13 years..
But... we still passed by each other at the last moment..
Many laymen generally believe that Renly squeezed out Tom and Leonardo to win the nomination, but the specific facts are far more complicated..
Here I need to mention the Screen Actors Guild Award nominations, Matthew McConaughey of "Dallas Buyers Club", Bruce Dern of "Nebraska", Renly of "Gravity" -Hall, Tom Hanks of "Captain Phillips" and Forest Whitaker of "The Butler" rounded out the final five.
It can be seen simply and straightforwardly that Tom Hanks and Forest Whitaker are both veteran actors who are well-known and praised among their fellow actors. With the effective promotion of the Academy's public relations, nominations were easily obtained..
However, after entering the Oscar nomination stage and expanding the voting base, their advantage was gradually eroded and weakened, and was finally replaced by "12 Years a Slave" and "American Hustle" whose overall strength was stronger and the Academy's public relations were better. The position and side also once again confirmed the true meaning of the Oscar game - this is a comprehensive awards ceremony, and the overall advantage of the work is overriding the individual's own strength..
In other words, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Christian Bale teamed up to squeeze out Tom Hanks and Forest Whitaker. As for Leonardo DiCaprio, because "Wall Street" "Wolf" attribute, he is always in the position of the pursuer.
In addition, we can also see from the side Renly's strong appeal among fellow actors. Although the trend of public opinion throughout the awards season seemed to be unfavorable to Renly, during the voting process, fellow actors still gave priority to Renly. This young actor has conquered countless colleagues through his solid performance and established his own reputation and reputation..
After the Oscar nominations were announced, fellow actors in the entire industry complained about Tom. On the contrary, Tom, who was involved, quickly calmed down and turned around to reassure his colleagues, "If I missed it, it means I still lost a little luck. I look forward to it." I hope there will be better opportunities next year.”
In fact, Tom is not the only one who is helpless.？
Even though Renly won the nomination, industry insiders still expressed regret for Renly..
“"Drunk Country Folk" lags behind, "Gravity" takes the lead.
This also directly proves the previous speculations and thoughts of people in the industry. "Drunken Country Folk" is too self-contained and too unique. Academic veterans who represent the West Coast art system still cannot like it after all, even if the movie has created miracles in the box office market. , but the Oscars and Golden Globes are still stingy about awarding this annual masterpiece.
In fact, in the selection of the top ten in 2013, authoritative media such as "Variety", "Cinema Cahiers", "Hollywood Reporter", "Village Voice", "New York Times", "Empire" and "Los Angeles Times" The top ten spots of the year were all awarded to the Coen brothers' "The Ballad of Drunken Country". The overall momentum has far surpassed that of "No Country for Old Men".”.
More importantly, Renly's performance in "The Ballad of Drunkenness" was delicate and profound, with a lasting aftertaste. Countless media considered it the best performance of 2013, even surpassing Matthew in "Dallas Buyers Club". The performances of McConaughey, Tom Hanks of "Captain Phillips" and Renly Hall himself in "Gravity" conquered the picky and harsh film critics with their absolute strength.
But...the Oscar nomination was ultimately given to "Gravity"”.
Although it wouldn’t be said to be regretful or sighing, after all, there is still some helplessness and powerlessness. Even for an actor of Renly’s level, even if he teamed up with the Coen brothers, even if it created a miracle at the box office, "The Ballad of Drunken Country" still cannot get the corresponding response. Treatment, still can't get rid of the shackles and clamps of the statuette's tights.
It was against this background that Renly's hope of becoming the second Best Actor was instantly ignited, and began to spread at an unprecedented speed..
No matter what, Renly won the nomination after all, for the fourth time in a row, and managed to continue the momentum in a record-breaking year of 2013..
In addition to Renly, there is obviously a lot worth studying in detail in the Oscar nomination list..
First up, Best Picture.
“"12 Years a Slave", "American Hustle" and "Gravity", the three popular works of the first group, took the lead and entered the final stage without any suspense. They will also be the strongest competition for the best picture at this year's Oscars. who.
The main force of the second group, "Captain Phillips", "Philomena", "Her" and "Nebraska" also passed a small test and successfully won nominations, continuing the overall trend of the awards ceremony and continuing to win awards. Taking a place in the spotlight.
The three works "Dallas Buyers Club", "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "Drunken Country Folk" made strong efforts in the sprint stage, completed the counterattack in an incredible manner, and entered the nomination list. They are definitely the surprises of the year. But the way and content of the surprise are slightly different..
“The surprise of "Dallas Buyers Club" comes from the regret of the completion of the work. The shortcoming of the performance being stronger than the work restricted the prospects of this work in the awards season. I did not expect that it could actually counterattack..
“The surprise of "The Wolf of Wall Street" comes from the controversy. From all aspects, this is a sensitive work that was rejected by the Academy judges. However, Paramount Pictures finally completed this period through the Academy's public relations. An incredible journey and a strong finish to the finals.
“The surprise of "The Ballad of Drunken Country" comes from the radiance after silence. Everyone knows that the academy is not interested in this work, but the artists who are really immersed in artistic creation cannot put it down. They are all looking forward to the work. Corresponding affirmation and praise.
Ten films have been nominated for best picture, with works such as "Up", "The Butler", "August: Osage County", "Blue Jasmine" and "Big Dreamer" falling behind. Among them, "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "The Ballad of Drunkenness" are undoubtedly the biggest surprises. Based on this alone, the 6,000 judges of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences can proudly stand up and feel proud of their correct choices..
Second is Best Director.
“Steve McQueen of "12 Years a Slave", David O. Russell of "American Hustle", Alfonso Cuaron of "Gravity", Alexander Payne and Martin Scorsese of "The Wolf of Wall Street" are among the final five nominees.
Among them, the biggest surprise was not that Martin Scorsese was nominated, but that Alexander Payne beat Paul Greengrass of "Captain Phillips" to the nomination list-the latter won the Directors Guild of America Award nomination. But lost to Alexander and lost the Oscar nomination.
The works of the five best director nominees have all been shortlisted for the best picture competition. If nothing else, the best picture winner will be born from these five works. This is in line with the prediction of the Golden Globe Award winner list. The trends coincide, once again highlighting the overall advantages of the First Group.

Best Supporting Actor: Jared Leto for "Dallas Buyers Club", Michael Fassbender for "12 Years a Slave", Jonah Hill for "The Wolf of Wall Street", "American Hustle" Bradley Cooper of "Captain Phillips" and Barhad Abdi of "Captain Phillips", these are the final five players.
Among them, Jonah Hill's nomination was considered by countless experts to be a "death". He defeated the well-received Daniel Brühl in "Speed", but in fact, his performance did not have much distinction. At best, it can only be regarded as mediocre. In the end, relying on the counterattack momentum of "The Wolf of Wall Street" in the sprint stage, it borrowed the light of Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese and succeeded. win nomination.
Overall, Jared Leto, Michael Fassbender, and Bradley Cooper will start a battle that will see red at the end..

In terms of pure strength, Julia Roberts leads the way and is unmatched.
