Alan DeJanis broke down the dimensional wall with unparalleled affinity, breathing more life into tonight's awards ceremony, somewhat relieving the tension of the awards process......; At the end of the day, this is an annual awards ceremony, and the announcement of the results of each award is bound to involve the minds of some guests, even the technical awards.

In the past 90 minutes, various technical awards have been awarded one after another, and they have found their owners.

Gravity, which was undoubtedly the leader of the technology department, became the fifth film in history to win nominations in all seven technical departments related to film production and production, and it was also the winning chip for the head-to-head showdown between "Gravity", "12 Years a Slave" and "American Hustle".

Of the other nine nominees for Best Picture, only "Captain Phillips" can compete in the relevant technical department, but the momentum is far from comparable, which also means that if "Gravity" can't win more awards in the technical department, then it may officially withdraw from the race for Best Picture tonight.

In other words, while the audience is immersed in the brief relaxation of Allen-style interaction, and when social networks are boiling over live interaction, the battle for Best Picture has actually quietly ignited the flames.

In the opening stage, the awards for Best Supporting Actor were awarded for Best Costume Design and Best Makeup and Hairstyle, and in both categories, "Gravity" failed to win nominations, and the minimalist style of the film obviously has little to do with these two awards.

The academy's careful thinking can be seen from the arrangement of the award order, and they are also aware of the direct or indirect impact of the technical awards on the trend of the best picture, so the award department of "Gravity" that did not win the nomination took the lead, quietly building up the suspense.

Among the Best Costume Design Awards, "The Great Gatsby" is undoubtedly the biggest favorite of the awards season, and finally at the Oscars, it also successfully defeated competitors such as "The Grandmaster", "Twelve Years a Slave", and "American Hustle", and won the "American Hustle" that was previously considered to be expected to challenge the "Great Gatsby".

Among the Best Makeup and Styling Awards, this year's competition was significantly weaker, with only three entries nominated for "The Lone Ranger", "Stupid/Funny Show 4: Bad Grandfather" and "Dallas Buyers Club".

The two technical awards were the first to find their owners, and after the warm-up, the technical department finally got down to business, and the Best Visual Effects Award, with Joseph Gordon Levitt and Emma Watson as the guest presenters, announced the winners

The Gravity team took home the first Golden Man trophy of the night, and after the team led by Chris Lawrence completed their acceptance speech, they also met the blue salute at the end of the show backstage and had a brief but friendly meeting.

For the layman, "gravity" to win the technical department award seems to be a matter of course, logical, as this year's awards season in the dust-riding "visual effects blockbuster", "gravity" advantage is indeed very obvious, but the competition for the best visual effects award is far more fierce than imagined, just ask the insider's opinion.

"The Hobbit 2", "Iron Man 3", "Star Trek: Diablo Unbounded" and "The Lone Ranger", four commercial blockbusters made it to the Oscar for Best Visual Effects shortlist.

In fact, for commercial popcorn works, computer special effects are exactly their housekeeping skills, "Inception", "Pirates of the Caribbean: Soul Coffin", "King Kong", "Spider-Man 2", "Avatar" and other works have won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects.

Last year, "Life of Pi", which made a further breakthrough in 3D technology, brought a feast of visual effects to the audience, which won it the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, and this year, "Gravity", which brought a revolutionary/life/sexual breakthrough at the level of 3D immersive viewing experience, successfully defeated the strong rival "The Hobbit 2", which presented the screen image of the dragon Smaug with motion capture technology, which is also one of the major breakthroughs of the year.

The side once again proves the fact that the breakthrough of "gravity" at the technical level has truly won the recognition of industry insiders, and the filming technique developed by Alfonso Cuarón in five years has injected a new impetus into the film industry.

At this point, the winner of the Best Visual Effects Award officially sounded the clarion call for "gravity" to sweep the technical department tonight.

Best Sound Editing Award, "Gravity" and "Captain Phillips" went head-to-head, the two works used different editing effects for sound effects are perfect, and sound has become an important part of the narrative, which is also the most threatening award for "Captain Phillips" in the technical department, but in the end, "Gravity" is still better and successfully won!

Best Sound Awards, "Gravity" faces the encirclement of works such as "Captain Phillips", "Lone Survivor", "Drunken Country Folk" and "The Hobbit 2", among which the most threatening is not "Captain Phillips", but "Drunken Country Folk" with live sound but excellent presentation of a unique era texture, which is also one of the two technical award nominations it has been shortlisted for.

However, the two works starring Lan Li went head-to-head, and in the end, "gravity" stood out and won the third Little Golden Man trophy tonight, and this is still not the end, and the best cinematography award was awarded later, and the two works once again started a strong showdown.

"Gravity", "Nebraska", "The Prisoner", "The Grandmaster", "Drunken Country Ballad".

The five works have different photographic styles and characteristics:

Among them, the majestic and heart-wrenching cinematography of "Gravity" has won a lot of praise and is undoubtedly one of the most important components of the whole work, this is the sixth Oscar nomination of Emmanuel Lubezki, who has lost all five times before, and has become the uncrowned king of photography.

The retro texture and delicate cinematography of "Drunken Country Ballads" is also a major discovery of the year, the use of light and the movement of the camera allow the audience to enter that era smoothly, Bruno Delbonnell is also nominated for the fourth Oscar, and the previous three were all empty-handed, the European photographer is also the favorite of countless industry peers.

That's all?

And Roger Deakins.

Since 1994's "The Shawshank Redemption", Roger Deakins has been nominated for ten Oscars in the past 20 years, and this year's "Prisoner" is his eleventh, but he has never been unlucky, and he has met stronger opponents every year, and he has still not been able to harvest a little golden man.

When it comes to the tragic character of the Oscar, he will always be the object that cannot be missed.

In this year's technology department, the competition for the Best Photography award is definitely in the top three, and even the top one, and it can be said to be one of the most difficult moments to decide in the last five years, and choosing any one of them means missing out on other great photographers.

But...... This is the award ceremony, the nomination is the strength, the award is luck, and in the end there needs to be a winner, this is the rule of the game.

"Emmanuel Lubezki, 'Gravity'. When presenters Amy Adams and Bill Murray announced the winners, the audience spontaneously stood up for Emmanuel Lubezki, who won the sixth nomination, and Roger Deakins and Bruno Delbonnell, who were once again named Sun Shan.

Unconsciously, "Gravity" has won strongly in four technical departments in a row, leading tonight's Oscars with an absolutely strong attitude, which also officially announced that the seats in tonight's Best Picture battle are determined "Gravity", which was completely ignored in the opening stage, still shows the super dominance of the technical department, officially joining the ranks of the ferocious "American Scam" and "Twelve Years of Slavery" in the second phase of the college's public relations, constituting the troika of the first group.

The Best Art Direction Award was subsequently announced, and an unpopular one broke out

"The Great Gatsby" beat out four Best Picture nominees including "Her", "12 Years a Slave", "American Hustle", and "Gravity" to win the second statuette of the night.

This result can be said to be unexpected, but reasonable.

While the reputation of "The Great Gatsby" has been polarized, the work has earned praise in the industry for its excellent performance in terms of art direction and costume styling.

Compared with the college public relations of major awards such as the acting department, the director department, and the screenwriting department, the influence of the technical department is significantly weaker, and it is more of a head-on competition of strength. So, after the Best Costume Design Award, the Best Art Direction Award was also awarded to the "The Great Gatsby" team, which is the best affirmation of the work of the crew.

But the reason why it is titled "unpopular" is, firstly, because the sweeping momentum of "gravity" was suddenly curbed, which is somewhat unexpected; secondly, because the other four competing works are all nominees for Best Picture, and the competition is too fierce, among them, the "American Hoax" with strong momentum in the second stage is a powerful sniper.

With the successive victories of "Gravity" and the unexpected loss of "American Hustle" to "The Great Gatsby" in the technical department for two consecutive times, the trend of Best Picture has changed subtly. Although the main competitiveness of "American Hustle" is still in the acting and script departments, and the technical department is just a flower arrangement, after the second phase of the awards season is in full swing, the trend of tonight's awards ceremony is significantly lower than expected, which is very interesting.
