1677 Overall pattern
After the list of Oscar nominees for Best Actor was released, the most regrettable and most embarrassing was undoubtedly Tom Hanks.
This year, with "Captain Phillips" and "Big Dreamer", Tom Hanks' hopes of winning an Oscar nomination since 2000 have been rekindled, especially with Tom's superb and outstanding acting skills, and the delicate performance of the actor in the final saving moment is enough to be included in the top ten of the year of 2013.
To this end, Tom is also actively campaigning, and he can be seen active throughout the awards season, winning numerous outpost nominations and successfully making it to the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actor nominations, all of which indicate that Tom is about to win another Oscar nomination for the first time in 13 years.
But...... The last moment passed by.
Many laymen generally believe that it was Lan Li who squeezed out Tom and Leonardo to win the nomination, but the facts are far more complicated.
The nominations for the Screen Actors Guild Awards need to be mentioned here, with Matthew McConaughey of "Dallas Buyers Club", Bruce Dern of "Nebraska", Ranley Hall of "Gravity", Tom Hanks of "Captain Phillips", and Forest Whitaker of "White House Butler" rounding out the final five.
It can be seen simply and straightforwardly that Tom Hanks and Forest Whitaker are both well-known and acclaimed veteran actors among their fellow actors, and with the effective promotion of the college's public relations, the nominations are also handy.
But after entering the Oscar nomination stage, after expanding the base of voters, their advantages were gradually eroded and weakened, and finally replaced by "Twelve Years a Slave" and "American Scam", which were stronger in the overall strength of the work and better in the college's public relations.
In other words, Chiwett Ejiofor and Christian Bale teamed up to squeeze out Tom Hanks, Forest Whitaker, and as for Leonardo DiCaprio, he was always in the chaser position because of the attributes of the "Wolf of Wall Street".
In addition, it can also be seen from the side that Lan Li's strong appeal among fellow actors, although the trend of public opinion throughout the awards season seems to be unfavorable to Lan Li, but in the voting process, fellow actors still give priority to Lan Li, this young actor has conquered countless of his 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, but Tom, who was the person concerned, quickly cleaned up his mood and turned around to reassure his colleagues, "If I miss it, it means that I still have a little less luck, and I look forward to having better opportunities next year." ”
In fact, Tom is not the only helpless person?
Even if Lanli won the nomination, industry insiders still expressed their suffocation for Lanli.
"Drunken Country Ballad" fell behind, and "gravity" came to power.
This also directly proves the previous speculation and thinking of industry insiders, "Drunken Country Ballad" is too self-contained and too unique, and the academic old pedants who represent the West Coast art system still can't like it after all, even if the movie has created a miracle in the box office market, the Oscar and Golden Globe Awards are still stingy to reward this masterpiece of the year.
In fact, in the 2013 Top 10 Awards, authoritative media such as "Variety", "Movie Handbook", "The Hollywood Reporter", "Village Voice", "The New York Times", "Empire" and "Los Angeles Times" all awarded the top 10 of the year to the Coen Brothers' "Drunken Country Ballad", and the overall momentum has far exceeded that of the year's "Old Man and No One".
What's more, Lan Li's performance in "Drunken Country Folk" is delicate and profound, and the aftertaste is far-reaching, and countless media have considered it the best performance of 2013, even surpassing Matthew McConaughey of the "Dallas Buyers Club", Tom Hanks of "Captain Phillips" and Lan Li Hall's own performance in "Gravity", conquering the discerning and demanding film critics with absolute strength.
But...... After all, the Oscar nomination still gave "gravity".
Although it is not to be said to be a choke or sigh, but after all, there is still some helplessness and powerlessness, even if an actor of Lan Li's level, even if he joins forces with the Coen brothers, even if the box office creates a miracle, "Drunken Country Ballads" still can't get the corresponding treatment, and still can't get rid of the shackles and clamps of the little golden man tights.
It was against this background that the hope of the second actor of Lanli was suddenly ignited, and it began to spread at an unprecedented speed.
Regardless, Blue Lane won the nomination for the fourth time in a row, and in 2013, a record-breaking year, it managed to continue the momentum.
In addition to Lan Li, there is clearly a lot more to the Oscar nominees than to study in detail.
First up is Best Picture.
"12 Years a Slave", "American Hustle" and "Gravity", three of the first group favorites, are in the final showdown without suspense, and they will also be the strongest contenders for this year's Oscar for best picture.
The main players of the second group, "Captain Phillips", "Philomena", "She" and "Nebraska", also passed a small test and successfully won the nomination, continuing the overall momentum of the award ceremony and continuing to occupy a place in the eye-catching lineup.
The three works of "Dallas Buyers Club", "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "Drunken Country Folk" made a strong effort in the sprint stage, completed the counterattack with an incredible attitude, and entered the nomination list, which is definitely the surprise of the year, but the way and content of the surprise are slightly different.
The surprise of the "Dallas Buyers Club" came from the regret of the completion of the work, and the shortcomings of the performance being stronger than the work limited the prospects of the work during the awards season.
The surprise of "The Wolf of Wall Street" came from the controversy, and in every sense of the word, it was a sensitive/emotional work that was abandoned by the academy judges, but Paramount Pictures finally completed this incredible journey through the academy PR and made it to the finals with a strong attitude.
Everyone knows that the academy is not interested in this work, but the artists who are really immersed in artistic creation love this work, and they are all looking forward to the corresponding recognition and praise of the work.
Ten films were nominated for Best Picture, with "The Wind/Flow," "The White House," "August: Osage County," "Blue Jasmine," and "Big Dreamer" all falling behind, with "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "The Drunken Country Ballet" undoubtedly the biggest surprises, and the 6,000 judges at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences were able to proudly puff out their chests and raise their eyebrows for the right choice.
This is followed by Best Director.
Steve McQueen of "12 Years a Slave", David O. Russell of "American Hustle", Alfonso Cuarón of "Gravity", Alexander Payne of "Nebraska", and Martin Scorsese of "The Wolf of Wall Street" made it to the final five nominations.
Among them, the biggest surprise was not Martin Scorsese's finalist, but Alexander Payne's beating out of Paul Greengrass, the "Captain Phillips", who won the Directors Guild of America Award nomination but lost to Alexander and lost the Oscar nomination.
All five Best Director nominees have been shortlisted for Best Picture, and if nothing else, the Best Picture winner will be born from these five titles, which coincides with the predicted trend of the Golden Globe winners and once again highlights the overall strength of Group One.
Actor awards again.
The Best Actor is already clear, and the competition in the other three categories is no less impressive.
Best Actress, Cate Blanchett for "Blue Jasmine", Amy Adams for "American Hustle", Sandra Bullock for "Big Dreamer", Meryl Streep for "August: Osage County", and Judi Dench for "Philomena" became the seeding contestants for this year's actress battle.
What is clear is that Cate Blanchett and Amy Adams will have a final fight.
Best Supporting Actor, Jared Leto for "Dallas Buyers Club", Michael Fassbender for "Twelve Years a Slave", Jonah Hill for "The Wolf of Wall Street", Bradley Cooper for "American Hustle", Bahad Abdi for "Captain Phillips", these are the final five contestants.
Among them, Jonah Hill's nomination is considered by countless experts to be "lying up", he defeated the acclaimed Daniel Bruch in "Extreme Wind/Stream", but in fact, his performance is not too brilliant, at best it can only be regarded as mediocre, and finally with the counterattack momentum of "The Wolf of Wall Street" in the sprint stage, he borrowed the light of Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese and successfully won the nomination.
Overall, Jared Leto, Michael Fassbender, and Bradley Cooper will have the final bayonet battle.
For Best Supporting Actress, Lupita Nyong'o for "12 Years a Slave", Jennifer Lawrence for "American Hustle", Julia Roberts for "August: Osage County", Rooney Mara for "Gravity", and Carey Mulligan for "Drunken Country Folk" were nominated finally.
This list is enough to make all the industry insiders excited, except for Julia Roberts, the other four nominees are all new generation actors, which is also a rare occasion in recent years, and the rise of Generation Y has undoubtedly become the mainstream trend of the entire film market, which is gratifying.
In terms of pure strength, Julia Roberts has led the way, but so far the entire awards season has been focused on Jennifer Lawrence and Lupita Nyong'o, and Rooney Mara and Carey Mulligan were a surprise when they won the nomination in the final stages.
The award will also be the most suspenseful of the four acting departments.
In addition to the major awards, browsing the entire list of nominees by work unit can also find many highlights worthy of detailed discussion.
