900 suffocating moment
Throughout the entire awards season, Renly stood out first, followed closely by George and Brad, Jean's sudden emergence, and Gary's last-minute comeback, forming the top five nominees..
The five nominees have their own advantages and disadvantages. For example, Renly is extremely talented, but his works are too niche and too young; for another example, Jean's works are very popular, but his own reputation is limited, and the Academy Public relations can hardly open up the situation; for example, Gary is unknown and does not emerge until the last stage, but hard work, high qualifications, and being in the same year are all positives.
In comparison, the strengths and weaknesses of George and Brad are the most balanced, and all aspects have reached a relatively perfect state. All these factors have made the showdown between the two actors a hot topic early on. "George VS Brad" is definitely the biggest highlight of this year's awards season.
After receiving the nomination, this is George's fourth acting nomination, and Brad's third. However, George has already won a Best Supporting Actor statuette for "Cynthia", while Brad has won the "Tenth Award" since 1995. After winning the Oscar nomination for the first time, "Two Monkeys", after eighteen years of hard work, it still has not been recognized..
In terms of sympathy votes, Brad has a slight advantage..
However, these are just tactical analyzes on paper..
During the college's public relations process, two actors, George and Jean, worked together to promote and support each other. There were even rumors of a homosexual affair between the two. Their harmonious and charming public relations strategy won the has attracted countless good impressions, and many people are also speculating whether it will be a "George VS Jean" situation above the Oscars.？
Gradually, George and Jean joined forces and began to seize the advantage; with the dual bonus of absolute strength and outstanding topics, Renly never fell behind, and his reputation and reputation remained at the first level, keeping pace with George, Jean and others; however, Renly However, Brad's upward momentum began to slow down and even stagnated..
As a result, Brad also adjusted his public relations strategy. He praised Renly many times in public or private situations, and expressed that he would be very happy to cooperate with Renly if the opportunity allowed. "His performance in 'Buried Alive' reminded me of "Edward Norton", the words of praise are overwhelming..
Later, during the sprint stage of the awards season, Brad and Renly met many times in public relations events and private parties, and the two always had good conversations. Brad's connections and Renly's expertise quietly complemented each other. On the contrary, they gained more support and recognition than the combination of George and Jean..
Then, the "Hypegate" incident broke out.
The entire awards season has been completely reshuffled. Although after "Hypegate", Jean Dujardin successfully won the first prize above the Screen Actors Guild, but there have been more variables in the next few Film Critics Association Awards. , in just two weeks, there have been more and more variables, and the trend of awards has begun to become unpredictable..
Even the most confident award prediction professionals are unable to make more accurate judgments at this time..
Judging from the award winning situation at the outpost of the awards season, Gary, who was an upset nominee at the last moment, has not received any awards. Except for a few nominations in the sprint stage, he has not received any awards at all. He only relies on his thirty years of experience and experience in the industry. Word of mouth, in this year's fierce competition, Gary's chance of winning still exists, but it is extremely difficult..
The remaining four candidates are equally matched.
George took the lead and won nine Best Actor titles, including the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award. In the hinterland of Hollywood, the advantages of the "Hollywood President" are still extremely obvious; in terms of nominations, there is no one to win. He is Among the five candidates, he is the only one who has received all the best actor nominations from all the major cities..
“"The Descendants" truly brings George's mature charm and steady performance to the extreme, even better than "In the Cloud" and "Michael Clayton". Perhaps, this is not the pinnacle of his career acting skills. ; But it is indeed the best chance to win a prize.
It is a pity that, except for the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award, the other eight awards are slightly lacking in weight because the competition is too fierce..
Jean- Dujardin is stable and aggressive, especially in the second half of his career, his rise is very fast. With the addition of George Clooney and the promotion of Harvey Weinstein, he has been unfavorable in the college's public relations. He has gained a total of won seven Best Actor trophies, including the Golden Globe Awards, the Screen Actors Guild and the National Society of Film Critics..
Just a few months ago, this was an ordinary French actor, wandering between the second and third tiers, not to mention Europe and even outside the world. Even in France, he was just a struggling little actor; but now, He has become the most powerful contender for Oscar winner.
In terms of quantity, George is still slightly better; but in terms of quality, Jean has a slight advantage..
Brad was second only to George in terms of the number of nominations. "Tree of Life" played a supporting role, and the strong momentum of "Moneyball" contributed to his series of nominations. Unfortunately, in the end, Brad He only won four Best Actor trophies, and the most important one was from the Austin Film Critics Association..
Overall, Brad's winning rate is too low. His performance in "Moneyball" is not as good as that of "Descendants".”.
Finally, there is Renly. First of all, in terms of quantity, Renly has won a total of five Outpost Best Actor trophies. In terms of nominations, the nominations were divided between "Crazy Love" and "I Fight Cancer". In the first half of the awards season, two movies The effect of splitting votes for works is very obvious. In many film critics associations, Renly is a double nominee. To some extent, this also limits the number of awards..
Secondly, in terms of quality, the five trophies come from the British Academy Awards, the North American Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards, the New York Film Critics Association Awards, the Boston Film Critics Association Awards and the San Francisco Film Critics Association Awards. Each award can be called a heavyweight, even if Not comparable to Viola Davis, but not inferior either.
The five award divisions at different times during the awards season really made people feel Renly's strong momentum. No matter how hot and active the public relations of George and Jean's college were, Renly still did not completely fall behind and always stayed in the first place. Among the group, however, when it comes to Renly’s chances of winning the prize, he may not be able to surpass George and Jean..
Before the awards ceremony, the favorites to win the award were George Clooney and Jean Dujardin. They were almost neck and neck. If the popularity of "The Artist" is added, Jean might have a slight upper hand. ; Behind them are Renly, who is waiting for an opportunity to upset him, and Brad, who refuses to give up and pursues them relentlessly..
What’s interesting is that the proceedings of tonight’s awards ceremony not only failed to make the battle for best actor clearer, but instead became increasingly confusing..
Among the five nominees, except for Renly's "Crazy Love" which did not win the best picture, the other four works were shortlisted for the final battle of the best picture. However, now "Moneyball" and "Tinker," Tailors, soldiers, spies" have all been declared out, and those who are qualified and able to compete for the final prize are "descendants" and "artists"”.
In other words, "George VS Jean", the two most popular duel, has become the biggest highlight of the battle for best actor. Whoever can win will be able to gain the lead again in the next decisive battle. A statuette of the best actor seems to be heavier..
But what if, like Best Actress and Best Editing, it's a surprise? For example, if Brad from "Moneyball" wins, then tonight's Oscars will be really interesting..
Under the spotlight, last year’s Best Actress winner Natalie Portman walked onto the stage with elegant steps.
You can clearly feel the tension, anxiety and depression that is so tight that it is almost suffocating. Even the sound of swallowing saliva becomes difficult and obscure; the hot lights slowly turn on, like a flame, slowly The ground burned slowly, the oxygen was consumed bit by bit, and then the lungs began to burn, hot, sharp, and stinging. After the emotions were suppressed to the extreme, the whole body became stiff..
Natalie, who was standing in the center of the stage, seemed to feel such pressure, and her movements seemed a little unnatural..
A Best Actor trophy has maintained the trend of Best Picture, and has also maintained the chaotic end of the entire awards season. This sounds a bit ridiculous, but it has gone through Best Editing, Best Original Screenplay, Best Adapted Screenplay, and the most... After the different directions of the best heroine, it is really happening now.
Can you believe it? The two works "Hugo" and "The Artist" are still uncollected in the core award department. The technical department has won a few trophies, and now there are still a few trophies. Therefore, all hopes are pinned on Natalie. In hand - the crew of "Hugo" hopes not to be "artists" and "descendants"; while the crews of "artists" and "descendants" both hope to be themselves.
A small envelope is as heavy as a thousand pieces.
The tight and hot air was burning Renly's skin, and before he realized it, the sound of his heart beating against his chest began to sound louder, like the sound of a drum..
Taking a deep breath, and another deep breath, Renly gradually calmed himself down. His tension and anxiety were suppressed to the limit, and his whole body regained his composure. But then, Renly noticed the tension of the two friends around him..
Jessica clasped her hands tightly and placed them on her knees. She looked stiff and kept swallowing. The bright lipstick reflected the tension on her cheeks. She seemed to notice Renly's gaze. She turned her head and pulled out With an awkward and jerky smile, he couldn't say a word. He just raised his hands, clenched his fists, and encouraged Renly. Then he crossed his fingers again, put them on his knees, and turned to look at the stage..
She was even more nervous than her own nominee for Best Supporting Actress.
Ryan placed his hands on the back of the chair naturally, without seeming to make any special movements, but his breathing seemed to have disappeared. There was no rise and fall in his chest, and no change in his expression. He looked straight towards the stage, his soul out. It's like an orifice, and the muscles all over the body are tense to the extreme, making people wonder if they will explode in the next second..
The ubiquitous tension was suffocating. Involuntarily, Renly began to become nervous..
