2302 full of suspense
Renly Hall has made history by winning Best Actor nominations for five consecutive years, and deserves to be the first person in history. Although the number of times he has won the award is still once, like Meryl Streep, this also proves that Renly is able to continuously and excellently deliver top-level performances in wonderful works, and the label of "acting skills" has become a part of Renly's image. This is enough to illustrate the success of Renly's career..
Not even Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep, not even Marlon Brando and Al Pacino, not even Katharine Hepburn and Daniel Day-Lewis, have reached such heights. , had not been able to create such a feat, and Renly still wrote such a record before he was thirty years old, adding a legendary color to this miraculous journey, and the future has unlimited possibilities..
This year, Meryl once again refreshed her own record with "Into the Woods" and won the Oscar nomination for the nineteenth time. Now people can't help but start to speculate, can Renly become the next Meryl? Of course, Renly's first step is to surpass Jack Nicholson's record of twelve Oscar nominations for an actor. Even if he is nominated consecutively, he will still need seven years to make history..
seven years.
What awaits Renly is still a long and legendary road. At such a young age, he still has countless unknown things waiting for challenges..
Although the controversy caused by Bradley Cooper's three consecutive nominations overshadowed Renly's enthusiasm for making history, the Quixotes still silently sent their blessings and prayed for Renly's Oscar journey and looked forward to it. Renly can continue to make history at the Oscars.
Not long ago, the authoritative professional magazine "Variety" in the film industry launched a New Year's special issue. It reviewed statistics and selected the top ten most outstanding performances in 2014. It did not distinguish between male and female actors, but purely based on their performances to conduct objective reviews and rankings—— Represents the exclusive position of the magazine only.
First place, Renly Hall, "Explosive Drummer"”.
“"Variety" magazine said in a review, "From his eyes to his smile to his movements, Renly Hall truly gives a rich sense of layering in the process of artistic pursuit: from the madness of obsession to the sudden enlightenment of patricide, he not only shapes the created an unsurpassed screen presence and truly gave the art a living soul. Without a doubt, this is one of the best shows of the millennium..”
Second place, Timothy Spall, "Mr. Turner”.
British actor Timothy Spall's most well-known role is undoubtedly Peter Pettigrew in the "Harry Potter" series, and he is a very senior and excellent actor in the UK. This year, he starred in the film directed by Mike Leigh. "Mr. Turner" is a strong contender for Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival. His performance has received numerous praises, and people in the industry have even exclaimed, giving him the highest praise..
But in the end, during the awards season, they were unfortunately ignored. In the final analysis, Mike Lee and Timothy Spall are not good at social promotion. In addition, the North American distribution company Sony Classics did not spend too much energy. This made the two Big names in the industry sadly missed out on Oscar nominations.
After the nomination list came out, Timothy Spall even surpassed Jennifer Aniston and was considered the biggest missing piece in this year's Oscar nomination stage..
Third place, Jake Gyllenhaal, "Nightcrawler"”.
Fourth place, Julianne Moore, "Still Alice"”.
Fifth place, JK Simmons, "Explosive Drummer"”.
It can be seen from this list that "Variety" magazine is still based in Hollywood after all, and many outstanding performances in European movies are not included in it. However, we have to admit that this list can still give a glimpse of the performances throughout the year. A microcosm; even in other lists, the names of these actors often appear.
“"Empire" magazine also made a similar statistics, but the male actors and actresses were counted separately. Renly once again topped the list, and Timothy was once again not far behind..
In addition, there are authoritative media such as "The New York Times" and "Hollywood Reporter". Renly and Timothy can be seen in relevant lists. Even in "Cinema Manual", Timothy His ranking also surpassed that of Renly, ranking at the bottom among English performances, while Renly could only be ranked second..
It is precisely because of this that Timothy Spall failed to win a nomination, which triggered countless voices of regret. Even if Ralph Fiennes failed to win an Oscar nomination for the third time for "The Grand Budapest Hotel", this is still a It's a pity, but it still lacks a little weight compared to Timothy Spoelstra..
But no matter what, this is the final result. This is the award season. Some people are happy and some are worried. Although it is said that nominations depend on strength and winning awards depend on luck, even in the nomination stage, the era of "the aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley" is gone. It’s back. It’s an unexpected reward to see Marion Cotillard’s counterattack nominated this year. In the end, the eyes must still fall on the nominees, because the award will be born among them..
Judging from the overall situation of the works, "The Grand Budapest Hotel" and "Boyhood" are strongly leading the way, while "Explosion Drummer" and "Birdman" are showing an upward trend..
Judging from the personal situation of directors and actors, the directing department should be a duel between Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu and Richard Linklater. The supporting role department lacks surprise changes, while the leading role department The situation is initially clear——
The heroine should be the duel between Julianne Moore and Rosamund Pike, but Marion Cotillard and Reese Witherspoon still cannot be underestimated.
2007Marion in 2005 and Reese in 2005, both actors were not favored and defeated the most popular candidates to win the Best Actress title. Among them, Marion defeated Julie Christie in "The Dark Side". -Christie), Reese defeated Felicity-Huffman of "Across America", which is still an Oscar mystery. Who can be sure that it won't happen again this year?？
The competition for the leading actor should be between Eddie Medlane, Michael Keaton and Renly Hall, but no one can ignore Bradley Cooper, but Jake Gyllenhaal It should be considered as "name is victory"”.
Bradley was able to rely on the overall strength of his works to enter the acting competition for three consecutive years despite a relatively weak performance. This in itself is enough to show that he has rich experience in the academy's public relations; moreover, he is a charming and proactive director. Ledley, he must also be looking forward to making a breakthrough. He is not only satisfied with the nomination, but also hopes to win the award for the first time. This also makes him an uncertain factor in the second stage..
But overall, the competition should still revolve around Eddie, Keaton and Renly, especially since the works of the three actors have all entered the battle for best picture, including the slightly less competitive "Everything" "Theory", it can defeat "Foxcatcher" and win the best picture nomination, which means that the Academy judges' attitude towards this work is positive, then the second stage will contain more possibilities.
Each of the three competitors has its own advantages and disadvantages. It is difficult to draw a clear picture just from paper analysis. The intensity of competition can truly be said to be the highest in ten years..
In terms of strength, Renly ranks first, Keaton second, and Eddie last. Obviously, all professional praise is focused on Renly. Even Eddie's extremely difficult role as Stephen Hawking has received countless praises and is lifelike. It truly simulated the appearance of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, but it still failed to surpass Renly..
“The Hollywood Reporter" commented objectively：
“Eddie Redmayne's delicate and realistic interpretation of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis allows the audience to empathize with it, truly showing the actor's demandingness and meticulousness in the details of the performance, but the more similar the physical level is, the more the spiritual level is highlighted. On the one hand, it is due to the limitation of the play's focus on love, and "The Theory of Everything" failed to truly present the flesh and blood of Hawking; on the other hand, it is due to the fact that Redmayne's focus is entirely on love. On top of the disease, the possibility of spiritual exploration is missing. This is an excellent imitation but not a live performance..”
Although the "Hollywood Reporter" review is almost callous, it basically represents the mainstream view of film critics: Eddie's performance is very hard and very hard, but in the end the performance only stays at the performance level - that is, imitation, physical The perfect simulation of language more and more highlights the frailty of the character, which is far from truly creating a character. From this point of view, Renly and Keaton easily destroyed Eddie..
Also in terms of biographical performances, Timothy Spall in "Mr. Turner" is at the highest level this year..
Of course, the real focus of college public relations has never been the "professional level" that film critics focus on, but more of an impact. Eddie's performance can create a more powerful impact from the "visual level", which is actually more It's good for winning awards because you can see with the naked eye that the actors are "acting hard". On the contrary, it's introverted and deep performances like Renly and Keaton. It's not easy for public relations to open up the situation..
Therefore, from the perspective of effective publicity, Eddie is first, Renly is second, and Keaton is last. After all, "Exploding Drummer" still uses physical pain to create a direct impact, rising from the physical level of pain to the mental level. Shocking on many levels, this is also the part that film critics praise most..
Judging from the subject matter of the works, "The Theory of Everything" is a biography, and it is a typical inspirational type of people who are physically disabled and mentally strong; while "Birdman" and "Exploding Drummer" are both pseudo-biographies, and are full of self-entertainment and self-deprecating effects. "Birdman" "Man" has a sharper ending, while "Crackling Drummer" is a bit darker. In the end, "The Theory of Everything" came first, "Birdman" came second, and "Crackling Drummer" came last..
In terms of merit and qualifications, Keaton is first, followed by Renly, and Eddie last. All merit votes and guilt votes should be concentrated on Keaton, which also makes him the biggest uncertainty among the troika. factors, we still need to look at the second phase of Fox Searchlight’s public relations operations..
From the perspective of college public relations, Eddie is at the top, Keaton is second, and Renly is at the bottom..
There are still one and a half months until the Oscars, and anything is possible. Then it’s time for the Eight Immortals to cross the sea and show off their magical powers..
