773 Nominations
In 2002, the Oscar race was fierce enough to be described as a bayonet, and it became the closest event in the decade after the millennium.
All the way up to this year.
In the midst of the overall chaos and overall chaos, the battle for the actor has become even more intense, and the nominees who finally won the Oscar for Best Actor are, Jean Dujardin of "Artist", George Clooney of "Posterity", Brad Pitt of "Moneyball", Gary Oldman of "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy", and Lan Li Hall, who ...... "Love Crazy"!
This is the top five for Best Actor this year.
Accidents, the biggest surprise is not Leonardo DiCaprio's defeat, but Ryan Gosling's disregard, after the entire awards season, after all, he still fell before the finish line, especially under the addition of the three works, he still passed by his second Oscar nomination, which provoked a suffocation.
Accidents, the same accidents came from Gary Oldman. What many people can't believe is that this is actually the first Oscar nomination of Gary's career, "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" throughout the awards season, and it was not until the British Film and Television Arts Awards vigorously praised the homegrown film, which came out on top, and after squeezing out "Help" to receive a nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay, it was nominated for Best Actor.
There is no doubt that Gary is one of the best, most down-to-earth and most low-key actors in the industry, with countless wonderful performances in his nearly 20-year career, and his sword-like style has received positive reviews for "versatile", giving different types of roles great potential and energy.
By mistake, he only received the nomination for the first time this year, and his voice is bound to continue to rise, which also makes him the most respected and hard-working candidate among the five nominees.
Of the five nominees, Jean-Dujardin is undoubtedly the most obscure, having been almost unknown in the industry before this year's "artist", having never won any awards even at the César Awards in France, and even more lackluster at the box office.
However, an "artist" succeeded in making him famous overnight, with rave reviews and unlimited scenery, first winning the best actor in Cannes, and then breaking into the top five Oscar nominations all the way smoothly. Aside from the Screen Actors Guild's disregard, the nominations for important outposts are almost a non-falling. This year's experience can be called a fantastic dark horse journey.
Now that the "artist" has become one of the strong contenders for Best Picture, the Weinstein brothers will not miss the strong lead in Best Actor - not to mention, even George Clooney took the initiative to stand for Jean Dujardin, these two actors with similar styles and temperaments hit it off at first sight, and there was a bit of sympathy. So, can Jean go black to the end?
Objectively speaking, the "descendant" George and the "penalty" Brad, the two Mesozoic actors, should be the biggest opponents in this year's battle for the best actor. Although it was said that among the previous calls, Lan Li and Michael Fassbender were the strongest competitors, but after entering the Oscars, the wind began to change.
"Descendants" and "Hugo" are neck and neck, and now they are the biggest winners in the Oscar nomination stage, George has also been strong in the previous major film critics associations and major union awards, not to mention, George is undoubtedly one of the most popular actors in Hollywood, and his momentum is comparable to Tom Hanks. This "Hollywood President", after winning the Best Supporting Actor in 2005, this is the third time to hit the actor Xiaojinren, George, who is loved by everyone and blooms, will undoubtedly be in full swing this year!
Neck to neck is Brad, after the box office fiasco of "Troy" in 2004, the Hollywood golden boy began to sprint for the Oscars, "Babel", "Death of a Sharpshooter", "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", "Inglourious Basterds" and so on, but never succeeded, this year's "Moneyball" is highly recognized, and there is also a potential Best Picture winner "Tree of Life", the blessing of the two works is enough to become Brad's biggest opportunity in the past fifteen years.
In terms of popularity, prestige, and word of mouth, Brad is the only actor who can compete with George. It is conceivable that the showdown between these two actors will undoubtedly become the biggest attraction of the Oscars, and even the third phase of the academy public relations will be exciting.
Gary's impressive resume makes the work strong, George and Brad are on a par, and the competition between these four candidates is already a bayonet, but, who is the most likely to be the spoiler?
It's Lanli-Hall again, it's Lanli-Hall again, it's Lanli-Hall.
At just 22 years old, this shortcoming alone is enough to knock him out, just like Ryan Gosling in 2006. However, this year is special, but the Blue Rite is special.
The first is the work, the two works "Love Crazy" and "I Fight Cancer" have been unanimously affirmed, and people even began to worry about the split crisis that the double nomination of the two works may lead to - just like above the Golden Globe Awards, but the reality is that "Love Crazy" was shortlisted, and "Cancer-Fighting Me" was out, which reminded people of Leonardo DiCaprio in 2006 again.
The excellence of the two works of "Blood Diamond" and "The Departed" made Leonardo have a strong momentum back then, but the two works were prone to cause a vote sharing crisis, and "The Departed" also had to face the vote sharing crisis of fellow actors Mark Wackerberg (Mark-ahlberg) and Jack Nicholson (Jack-Nicholson), Warner Bros. was not even sure whether Leonardo was positioned as a leading actor or a supporting actor, which further triggered a public relations crisis.
In the end, "Blood Diamond" was nominated for the Oscar, and "The Departed" was defeated, which made countless people express their chokehold, because Leonardo's performance in the "Departed" is undoubtedly stronger, more delicate and better, coupled with the strong call for the "Departed" to reach the Oscar that year, if it were not for the "Blood Diamond" but the "Departed" to receive the nomination, then Leonardo may not have lost that year.
Now it's Lan Li's turn. The wonderful thing is that the overall strength of the work "I Fight Cancer" is more outstanding, and the performance of "Love is Crazy" is highly recognized, but the disadvantages of the two low-cost independent works are very obvious. In the end, Focus Pictures successfully made efforts to promote "Love Crazy" to the top, and industry public opinion generally believed that Lan Li's performance in "Love Crazy" was wonderful, and it was even more deserved!
There was no repeat of Leonardo's mistakes. Fortunately, if it is "me who fights cancer", then the college public relations will be carried out by Lionsgate, which is full of countless variables.
Not only that, "Love Crazy" and "Fighting Cancer", two works that have been hotly discussed in the awards season, finally only received one nomination for Best Actor at the Oscars, which also means that all the support, all the affirmation, all the chokes, and all the regrets will be fed back on the vote: every member of the academy who likes one of the works can vote for Lan Li to express their support.
The crisis of vote distribution was avoided, but the concentration of regrettable votes was achieved.
The second is the actor, last year Lan Li received the first nomination in his career with "buried alive", and also won the affirmation of the Emmy Award; last year, Lan Li had to be absent from the Oscars because of his physical condition in order to shoot "I Fight Cancer", and later the movie also proved that Lan Li was excellent and excellent. Now, for the second year in a row, Lan Li has been nominated for an Oscar, and it really reminds people of the young and proud Marlon Brando!
is only twenty-two years old, this is not only a shortcoming, but it allows people to see his talent and hard work, which is a minus, but it can also be a plus-
No one will forget the enthusiastic cheers that sparked after the rise of Generation Y last year, but what about this year? Among the four major departments of actors, Lan Li Hall, Michelle Williams, Rooney Mara, and Jonah Hill, these four Generation Y actors have carried the banner of the rise of the younger generation, but the overall momentum is far less than last year.
It is a real disappointment that the expected new generation of people has not risen in full force, but has gone backwards. Times are progressing, but the academy is still resting on its laurels, can't there be a second Natalie Portman this year? Or will Ranley Hall become a second Natalie Portman?
Now the focus is, how will Focus Pictures' academy PR unfold?
After all the factors came together, the current situation was created: Lan Li not only received his second consecutive Oscar nomination at the age of 22, but also had the qualifications to become the biggest spoiler!
George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Jean Dujardin, Gary Oldman, Lance Hall, these five contenders are almost comparable, each has shortcomings, each has strengths, maybe George and Brad will be slightly ahead, but the advantages are limited, above the awards ceremony, in the third stage of the academy PR, any actor stands out, it is reasonable!
After the 84th Oscar nominations were officially announced, the college's public relations situation has risen again, and the chaos has not ended, but has entered a new stage, and the gunsmoke is becoming more and more turbulent!
However, for Lan Li, the Oscar matter can wait a little longer, and the filming of "Edge of Tomorrow" is still a top priority. After filming in London, the crew returned to the filming base in Levisden to complete the final part of the shooting.
It's the busiest time of awards season for the cast and crew, and for the crew, every second counts, as Warner Bros. hopes Edge of Tomorrow will be able to catch up with this year's summer schedule — and they've already announced that it's going to be scheduled, but the schedule could be postponed at any time, and the burden is on the crew's shoulders.
Therefore, after the finale, there was no celebration banquet, and the entire crew returned to the North American continent in large numbers, disbanded on the spot, and devoted themselves to follow-up work. However, Lan Li did not go with him, and he and the rest of his friends chose a completely different direction and went to Berlin.
