1805 Troika
Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Effects, Best Sound Editing, Best Cinematography.
After officially entering the technical department, "Gravity" gradually showed its strong strength as the number one favorite in the nomination stage, winning four statuettes in a row, which vaguely made people feel the extraordinary advantages of "Titanic" and "Avatar", but in the end Can "Gravity" become "Titanic" or "Avatar"? Unconsciously, the battle for Oscar Best Picture has quietly entered the second half！
Unexpectedly, "The Great Gatsby" became the biggest winner of the first half of tonight's awards ceremony with two statuettes - because both trophies came from "American Hustle" and "12 Years a Slave" Such a feat achieved by pulling one's teeth out of the tiger's mouth is even more powerful and exciting than "Gravity", which won four consecutive trophies.！
After the nomination list was released, the awards season entered the second stage. "12 Years a Slave", which focuses on race, and "American Hustle", which focuses on the American dream, gradually gained the upper hand in this academy public relations game. Later, Cheng made an effort and overtook them in one fell swoop. "Gravity", which focuses on technical cards and strength cards, has completely changed the pattern of the first group's main force..
But overall, the main battlefields of the three works are slightly different..
“The advantage of "Gravity" lies in the technical department. It can be said that it is almost unrivaled in this year's awards season. Whether it can seize a favorable position in the battle for best film, the technical department award is undoubtedly crucial. Importantly, once the technical department is eroded by competitors, then the best film will be a luxury..
Therefore, in the public relations process of the college, Warner Bros. has always been unswervingly focusing on the technical card, speaking with absolute strength, and fighting its way out head-on; while the other two competitors have focused on the emotional card and carried out public relations like lobbyists. Work may skyrocket, or it may fail..
“The advantages of "12 Years a Slave" and "American Hustle" lie in the acting department and screenplay department. The number of nominations for the two works is nine and ten respectively. "American Hustle" only has one more nomination than "12 Years a Slave" Of the other nine nominations, the nominations of the two works overlapped in eight categories. The only exception was the screenplay. "12 Years a Slave" was an adapted screenplay, and "American Hustle" was an original script.
All this means that the two works will engage in a head-to-head confrontation. The victory or defeat of each project may determine the direction of the best film, and the victory or defeat of each award may determine the pattern of the entire awards season, but there are still There are subtle differences——
"12 Years a Slave", which focuses on race, may have more impact in the acting department, because the actor's personal charm can often win more votes; while "American Hustle", which focuses on the American dream, is slightly weaker, although their The acting department is the strongest point, and all four departments are fully rated, but it lacks a foothold on "race" and the public relations situation is still a bit weak..
Relatively speaking, "American Hustle" has a slight advantage in the technical department. The sense of the times presented by the entire work is undoubtedly one of the biggest highlights of the film. The appearance of each character has its own characteristics, making the screen image stand out from the paper. On the other hand, a lot of topics have been created during the filming stage.
Therefore, the Best Costume Design Award and the Best Art Direction Award are definitely not just two technical department awards for "American Hustle", but more of an outpost for the Best Film, preempting the subsequent acting department and script department. Opening up the situation is also a small summary of the second phase of college public relations..
But now, "American Hustle" has lost two awards in a row; and, not to "Gravity" and "12 Years a Slave," but to "The Great Gates" Than", this is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the crew of "American Hustle", and the academy's public relations in the second phase seems to have failed to work..
Although the two competitors failed to win these two awards, which is barely good news, it is undeniable that the flourishing momentum of "American Hustle" is gradually weakening, and then, " The crew of "American Hustle" ushered in the most important award.
Best Supporting Actress！
In between the continuous presentation of technical awards, many other awards including honorary awards were also presented.——
The best animated short film belongs to "Mr. Hublot", and the best animated feature film undoubtedly belongs to "Frozen"”.
There was a slight upset in the Best Documentary category. The popular work "Killing/Deduction" unfortunately failed to win, and "Twenty Feet from Stardom" won the statuette..
The fierce competition for the best foreign language film has become the winner of "The Beautiful City". This work, which has received rave reviews since the Cannes Film Festival last year, won the Oscar without any suspense..
A number of awards have been announced one after another. Although there are still three major events that have not been awarded by the technical department: Best Film Editing Award, Best Original Score Award, and Best Original Song Award, it is now time to return the audience's attention to the award ceremony. is on the right track, and the awarding of Best Supporting Actress has officially sounded the whistle for the sprint stage of the Best Picture competition. This also means that this year's awards ceremony has entered the final stage..
In fact, the best supporting actress award can be said to be a battleground for military strategists! Especially for "American Hustle".
In the best actor department, "Dallas Buyers Club" and "Gravity" are the protagonists, "12 Years a Slave" is waiting in the wings, and "American Hustle" has limited advantages.
In the Best Actress category, "Blue Jasmine" leads the pack, followed closely by "Philomena" and "American Hustle".
There is also the best supporting actor department that has already revealed its answer. There is a head-to-head competition between "Dallas Buyers Club" and "American Hustle". In the end, Jared Leto continued the momentum of the awards season and won the Oscar in one go..
In other words, although "American Hustle" and "12 Years a Slave" have strong capabilities in the acting department and seem to have the ability to compete for each award; on the one hand, they are limited by the limitations of the academy's public relations power. , on the other hand, the competitors are strong, which also makes the two works truly able to compete strongly in the Best Supporting Actress department.！
“Lupita Nyong'o of "12 Years a Slave", Jennifer Lawrence of "American Hustle", Julia Roberts of "August: Osage County", Rooney Marriott of "Gravity" Oh, Carey Mulligan in "The Balladeer".
These are the top five contestants for Best Supporting Actress.
In terms of pure strength, Julia Roberts leads the pack, and it has been a full fourteen years since her last Oscar win. She is now fully capable of winning awards, but unfortunately, "August: The overall reputation and level of "Osage County" have not been recognized. Although the Weinstein brothers have worked hard, they still have not been able to open up the situation. Coupled with the strength of competitors, Julia's prospects for winning the award are not optimistic..
Carey Mulligan, who is less popular, also fell behind early. Although "Drunken Country Ballad" became the favorite of countless art practitioners in 2013, this work has never been able to truly rise during the awards season. After winning six nominations, the popularity of the film has slowly declined, especially the loss of the Best Actor nomination, which proves that this work is not adapted to the local environment - this was also selected by the American Film Critics Association as the biggest regret of this year's Oscars. One, all of which put an end to Carrey's Oscar prospects early..
As a result, the competitive landscape once again came to the Troika..
This is not the first head-to-head confrontation between the three works tonight. Previously, all three works won nominations but lost to "The Great Gatsby" for the Best Art Direction Award; and this time the best For the Supporting Actress Award, the three works are the closest in terms of quality, and the competition is also the most intense..
Judging from the reputation in the industry, Rooney Mara is undoubtedly the leader in strength. Although her performance time in "Gravity" is limited, her performance is gentle yet powerful. The spark between her and Renly This role injected a wonderful and unique traction, laying the foundation for the sublimation of the core idea of the entire film. Among the five nominees, Rooney's overall performance was second only to Julia, and won a round of applause in the industry.
Judging from the popularity of the academy, Jennifer Lawrence is still the well-deserved darling. Compared with Natalie Portman, who is arrogant, cold, picky and demanding, the approachable, cheerful and cheerful Jennifer is obviously more down-to-earth. Not only does she have no airs, but she also It is easier to contact and interact with her. Now among the Academy judges, she seems to be the first actress of the new generation. The three nominations in four years are proof of this..
From the perspective of the academy's public relations, Lupita Nyong'o has seized the commanding heights. Although this is her acting debut, although it is full of stage-drama-style retro acting methods, she has also competed with Michael Fassbender and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Even though the black actor Octavia Spencer just won the Best Supporting Actress award two years ago, none of these shortcomings can stop her momentum in the awards season. All "racial/ethnic/ The advantages of "brand" are all reflected in her body, and she fully exploded in the second stage of the awards season and became a leading figure..
The three actresses formed a tripartite force, each with its own advantages, and the winning momentum also showed wonderful changes as the awards season progressed..
Rooney Mara won the British Academy Award, as well as the New York Film Critics Circle Award, the Boston Film Critics Circle Award, the San Francisco Film Critics Circle Award and the Chicago Film Critics Circle Award..
Jennifer Lawrence won the three major Oscars including the Golden Globe Award, the North American Broadcast Film Critics Association Award, and the National Board of Review Award, as well as the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award and the Seattle Film Critics Association Award..
Lupita Nyong'o wins Screen Actors Guild Awards.
According to common sense, the first stage is a duet between Jennifer and Rooney. Obviously Jennifer is slightly better. With the strong public relations of the Weinstein brothers, although Jennifer just won the Best Actress last year, she won the Best Actress again this year. The momentum of supporting actors has been unstoppable, and Rooney's momentum has gradually weakened; but after the second stage of the Academy's public relations operation, the Screen Actors Guild Awards became an upset, and Lupita won strongly..
Now, things are impossible to predict..
