Throughout the awards season, the Blue Gifts were the first to come out on top, followed by George and Brad, Jean's sudden rise, and Gary's last-minute comeback to form the top five nominees.

The five nominees have their own strengths and weaknesses, for example, Lan Li's strength is incomparably outstanding, but his work is too niche and too young, another example, Rang's work is huge, but his own fame is limited, and the college's public relations can hardly open the situation, and for example, Gary's obscurity, which did not rise until the final stage, but the hard work, the seniority, the time and so on are all good.

In comparison, the advantages and disadvantages of George and Brad are the most balanced, and all aspects have reached a relatively perfect state, all of which make the duel between the two actors a hot topic early, "George VS Brad", which is definitely the biggest highlight of this year's awards season.

After receiving the nomination, George is nominated for acting for the fourth time, and Brad is for the third. However, George has already won a Best Supporting Actor award for "Cinrena", and Brad has not been recognized for 18 years of hard work since "Twelve Monkeys" won his first Oscar nomination in 1995.

In terms of sympathy votes, Brad has a slight upper hand.

However, this is only a tactical analysis on paper.

In the process of public relations of the college, George and the two actors went in and out together, promoted and supported each other, and even once rumored that the two people had the same sex/scandal/news, and the public relations strategy of harmony and scenery won countless favors, and many people are also speculating, above the Oscars, is it a "George VS Jean" situation?

Gradually, George and Jean joined forces and began to seize the advantage; with the double bonus of absolute strength and excellent topics, Lan Li has never fallen behind, and his momentum and reputation have been maintained in the first echelon, going hand in hand with George, Jean and others, but Brad's upward momentum has begun to slow down, and even stagnated.

As a result, Brad also adjusted his public relations strategy. In public and private, he praised Lan Li many times, and said that if the opportunity allows, he is very happy to cooperate with Lan Li, "His performance in 'Buried Alive' reminds me of Edward Norton", the words of approval are overflowing.

Later, in the sprint stage of the awards season, Brad and Lan Li met many times in public relations occasions and private parties, and the two always talked happily with each other, Brad's connections and Lan Li's professionalism quietly complemented each other, but they gained more support and recognition than the combination of George and Jean.

Then, the "hypegate" affair broke out.

The landscape of the awards season has been completely reshuffled. Although after the "hypegate", Jean-Dujardin successfully won the championship above the Screen Actors Guild, but the next few Film Critics Association Awards have more variables, and in just two weeks, there are more and more variables, and the trend of the awards has begun to become unpredictable.

Even the most confined award forecasting professionals can't make a more accurate judgment at this point.

According to the awards at the outpost of the awards season, Gary, who was shortlisted for the upset at the last moment, did not receive any awards, except for a few nominations in the sprint stage, there was no award at all, just with 30 years of experience and reputation, under such a fierce competition pattern this year, Gary's chance of winning still exists, but it is extremely difficult.

The remaining four candidates are on par.

George took the lead, winning nine actor titles, including the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award, in the hinterland of Hollywood, the advantage of "Hollywood President" is still extremely obvious;

The work "Descendants" truly brings George's mature charm and steady performance to the extreme, even better than "In the Clouds" and "Michael Clayton". It may not be the pinnacle of his career, but it is the best chance to win the award.

Unfortunately, in addition to the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, the other eight awards are slightly underweighted. Because, the competition is too fierce.

Jean Dujardin is steady and fierce, especially in the second half of the rise is very fast, George Clooney's addition and Harvey Weinstein's promotion, in the academy's public relations, he has won a total of seven actor trophies, including the Golden Globe, the Screen Actors Guild and the National Society of Film Critics of the United States.

Just a few months ago, he was an ordinary French actor, hovering between the second and third lines, not to mention Europe and the rest of the world, even in France, he was just a struggling young actor, but now he has become the most serious contender for the Oscar.

In terms of quantity, George is still slightly superior, but in terms of quality, Jean has a slight advantage.

Brad is second only to George in terms of the number of nominations, with the "Tree of Life" playing a supporting role, and the strong momentum of "Penalty Money" has led to a series of nominations. Unfortunately, in the end, Brad only won four Best Actor trophies, and the most important one was only the Austin Film Critics Association.

Overall, Brad's winning rate is really too low. The performance of "Penalty Kick into Gold" is not as good as that of "posterity".

Finally, there is the Blue Gift. First of all, in terms of quantity, Lan Li won a total of five outpost actor trophies, and the nominations were divided by "Love Crazy" and "I Fight Cancer", in the first half of the awards season, the split votes of the two works are very obvious, and many film critics associations, Lan Li are double nominated, to a certain extent, this also limits the number of awards.

Secondly, in terms of quality, the five trophies came from the British Academy Awards, the North American Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards, the New York Film Critics Circle Awards, the Boston Film Critics Association Awards, and the San Francisco Film Critics Circle Awards. Each award is a heavyweight, if not comparable to Viola Davis.

The five award divisions at different times of the awards season really gave people a sense of the power of the Blue Ceremony. No matter how hot and positive George and Jean's college public relations were, Lan Li still did not completely fall behind and always stayed in the first group, but if you really want to talk about Lan Li's chances of winning the award, it may not be able to surpass George and Jean.

Before the awards ceremony, the biggest favorites for the award were Georges Clooney, Jean Dujardin was almost indistinguishable, and the two had some momentum to go hand in head, and if you add the popularity of "artist", then Jean might have the upper hand slightly, and behind them, Lan Li, who was waiting for an upset, and Brad, who refused to give up and chased after him.

Interestingly, the process of tonight's awards ceremony not only did not make the pattern of the battle for the actor clear, but became more and more chaotic and blurred.

Among the five nominees, except for Lan Li's "Love Crazy", which did not win Best Picture, the other four works were shortlisted for the final battle of Best Picture. However, now that "Moneyball" and "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" have been declared out, it is the "descendants" and "artists" who are qualified and capable of competing for the final prize.

In other words, "George VS Jean", the duel between the two favorites, has become the biggest highlight of the battle for Best Actor, and whoever can win will be able to take the lead again in the next decisive battle. An actor and a little golden man, it seems to be a little heavier.

But what if, like Best Actress and Best Editing, it's an upset? For example, if Brad won the "penalty", then tonight's Oscars are really interesting.

Under the watchful eye, Natalie Portman, last year's winner of Best Actress, stepped onto the stage with elegant steps.

The tension, apprehension, and depression that was almost suffocating could be clearly felt, and even the sound of swallowing saliva became difficult and obscure, and the scorching light slowly spread out, like a flame, slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly, the oxygen was depleted, and then the lungs began to burn, hot, sharp, and tingle. After the emotional suppression was extreme, the whole body became stiff.

Standing in the center of the stage, Natalie also seemed to feel such pressure, and her movements seemed a little unnatural.

It sounds ridiculous that a Best Actor trophy has maintained the direction of Best Picture and the chaotic end of the entire awards season, but after experiencing the different directions of Best Editing, Best Original Screenplay, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Actress, it is happening in real time.

Can you believe it? "Hugo" and "The Artist" are still in the core awards department, and the technical department has won a few trophies, and still a few trophies. As a result, all hopes are pinned on Natalie's hands - the "Hugo" crew hopes that it is not "artists" and "descendants", while the "artists" and "posterity" crews hope that it is themselves.

A small envelope, as heavy as a thousand pounds.

The tight, scorching air was burning Lan Li's skin, and before he knew it, the sound of his heart pounding against his chest began to be distinct, like the sound of a drum.

Taking a deep breath and taking a deep breath again, Lan Li gradually calmed himself down, his nervousness and apprehension were suppressed to the limit, and the whole person regained his composure. But then, Lan Li noticed the tension of the two little friends around him.

Jessica clasped her hands crossed, put them on her knees, her expression stiffened, she kept swallowing saliva, the bright lipstick reflected the tension in her cheeks, as if she noticed Lan Li's gaze, she turned her head and pulled out an embarrassed and jerky smile, she couldn't say a word, just raised her hands, clenched her fists, cheered for Lan Li, and then crossed her fingers again, put them on her knees, and turned her head to look at the stage.

She was even more nervous than she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress.

Ryan's hands were naturally placed on the back of the chair, and he didn't seem to make any special movements, but his breathing seemed to be gone, his chest couldn't see the ups and downs at all, his expression couldn't change at all, his eyes looked straight at the stage, his soul was out of his body, and his muscles were tense to the extreme, making people wonder if he was about to explode in the next second.

The ubiquitous tension was suffocating, and involuntarily, Lan Li also began to tense.
