In any field, it is difficult to create a peak, but it is even more difficult to continue the peak, and it is the most difficult to defend the world than to fight the world. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The same is true in the film industry, where there are countless meteors that have become blockbusters, but very few have become stars.

In the history of the Oscars, there are six directors who have won the Best Director Award for their debut film, Kevin Costner was born with "Dances with Wolves", but since then he has been a lot of money, and he has never been able to dedicate enough works; Sam Mendes' "American Beauty" is still influential ten years later, but none of the subsequent works have been able to surpass this peak, or even win another Oscar nomination.

Among the 78th Academy Awards so far, only William Wheeler was nominated for Best Director for seven consecutive years between 1936 and 1942, ranking first in film history, and won three Golden Man trophies.

Lance was born with "City of God", and his directorial debut was among the final five Oscars list, becoming a generation of geniuses, but almost no one could have imagined that three years later, Lance has relied on "Killing with a Knife" and "Fruit Hard Candy" two works with very different styles to enter the Oscar for best director, and since then he has completed the feat of winning nominations for three consecutive years, which is really shocking!

If it's just the Oscars, then it can also be explained that the college's public relations is playful; But the fact is that on top of the most authoritative Directors Guild of America Award, Lance has also been nominated for three consecutive years, which proves that Lance's excellent strength has been unanimously recognized.

Interestingly, people now can't help but start comparing Lance to William Wheeler. Because William was nominated for the Oscar for Best Director in the first four times, he was not able to win the statuette until the fifth time - and the fourth consecutive Best Director nomination - that he reached the top for the first time with the World War II theme work "The House of the Brave"; Now Lance seems to be facing such a situation, the previous two nominations were both accompanied, this time "Fruit Hard Candy" is also difficult to occupy an advantage in front of "Brokeback Mountain", is Lance going to go home empty-handed? If this is the case, does that mean that Lance will follow William's path and open up his own era......

In any case, winning the Best Director nomination for three years in a row is a feat that has truly taken Lance to a new pinnacle, and after the ups and downs of 2005, Lance is still able to continue his advantage in the battle for Hollywood with sheer strength, which is simply incredible.

In addition to the best picture and best director, the battle for the actor and actress, which is the focus of the topic, once again continues the pattern of strong men and weak women this year.

Among the nominees for Best Actor, "Capote" Philip Seymour Hoffman and "Walking with the Song" Jackie Phoenix, who were the leaders in the awards season, made it to the top five without any suspense; Terrence-Howard (Terrence-Howard), who has always been in the leading position in terms of word-of-mouth, and Heath Ledger, who is "Brokeback Mountain", joined hands to break through the encirclement and win the nomination, of which Heath won the Best Actor nomination at the age of 25, which once again caused an exclamation; The last seat was won by Jeff Daniels of "Squid and Whale", a stalwart actor who has been in Hollywood for more than two decades and finally won the first Oscar nomination in his career.

It can be said that although Philip is currently in full swing among the top five, and the awards in major towns are huge, the other four actors all have their own advantages, such as Jeff's credit ticket, such as Terrence's black vote, such as Jackie's resume ticket, and even the youngest and lightest Heath also occupies the advantage of "Brokeback Mountain" - the top five contestant, he is the only actor nominated for Best Picture. Therefore, the battle for the actor is still full of sparks, which is worth looking forward to.

The list of nominees for Best Actress is much more flat, Felicity-Huffman (Felicity-Huffman) of "Crossing America" and Reese Witherspoon of "Walking with Song" are the main theme of the current showdown, the former is absolutely powerful/glamorous/overwhelming, and the latter has an advantage in public relations strength and quality of works; In addition, "North Storm" earned Charlize Theron a second Oscar nomination, and "Mrs. Henderson Tribute" put Judi Dench in the fray; Among them, Keira Knightley can be called the biggest surprise, continuing the rapid upward momentum of the past two years, letting go of the idol baggage of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "I Love Beckham", successfully impressing the academy judges with "Pride and Prejudice", and winning her first Oscar nomination before the age of 21.

In the list of actress nominees, it is almost a two-person turn with Felicity and Reese, and the other three contenders are more just running together, which can almost be said to be no surprise, and the five Best Picture nominees are collectively absent from the competition in the department. The most surprising thing is undoubtedly Judy's finalism, the overall quality of "Mrs. Henderson's Tribute" is very ordinary, and although the heroine who flashes the brilliance of humanity is good under Judy's interpretation, it is far inferior to other competitors, such as Laura Linney of "Squid and Whale", and Alan Paige of "Fruit Hard Candy".

Especially Allen, many people think that this little girl is very promising to occupy a place in the awards season with her amazing first cry, but in the end she still lost to Kayla, who has been amazing in the past two years.

The same goes for the supporting character department, which once again continues a similar pattern in the protagonist department.

There were small surprises in the supporting actress department, but they were not called surprises, Rachel Weisz of "The Immortal Gardener", Michelle Williams of "Brokeback Mountain", Frances McDormand of "North Vice", Amy Adams of "Beetle", and Katherine Kee of "Capote" in the final battle.

This competitive lineup is basically to see the duel between Rachel and Michelle, Amy has the potential to be a dark horse, but overall it is still stable, if nothing else, Rachel will be the biggest favorite.

The supporting actor department has undergone earth-shaking changes at the last moment, Focus Pictures has carefully considered Jack Gyllenhaal of "Brokeback Mountain" to sign up for the supporting actor department, which has also become the biggest variable in the supporting actor award, Jack's performance has the strength to impact the actor but came to the supporting actor department to compete, coupled with the recent British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards awarded Best Supporting Actor to Jack, this dark horse that is not a dark horse is bound to become the biggest spoiler.

Not only that, Matt Dillon of "Crash" and Paul Giamati of "Iron Fist Man" will also be favorable contenders, the former has been in Hollywood for more than 20 years like Jeff Daniels, and has a solid reputation. The latter is a highly respected licorice-type supporting role, especially the nomination for the actor in last year's "Cup of Wine Life" fell at the last moment, and this year's compensation votes and respect for the elderly will flock in.

However, the core battle for supporting actor is still focused on the last two spots, George Clooney of "Cinrena" and Lancelot Strello of "Hard Candy".

Purely in terms of strength, Lance's performance skills are astonishing and go down in history, even in the leading actor department, many people compare Lance to Philip Seymour Hoffman, and think that the two of them gave the best performance of the year in 2005, so Lance should be a dominant player in the supporting actor department. But George's last laugh at the Golden Globes not only broke everyone's glasses, but also made the awards season full of suspense, and no one can say who will win until the Golden Man winners are announced.

Needless to say, the Best Supporting Actor category is the most topical, dramatic, and suspenseful in this year's Oscars, even surpassing the question of Best Picture as the most popular topic of discussion - after all, compared to making history with homosexuals, the duel between the two major topics always makes gossip boiling.

Comparatively speaking, the script department lacked some surprises, continuing the tone of the entire awards season without surprises. Best Original Screenplay, "Crash", "Fruit Hard Candy", "Squid and Whale", "End of the Race", and "Xinrena" were shortlisted for the competition, among which the quality of the script of "Squid and Whale" was the most affirmed, and it is very promising to continue the trajectory of "A Cup of Life".

Best Adapted Screenplay, "Brokeback Mountain", "Capote", "The Immortal Gardener", "A History of Violence", and "Munich Tragedy" are among the top five.

On the whole, the nominations for Best Picture and Best Director all coincided, and all five films were shortlisted for the screenplay award department, so it can be said that the overall momentum of the five works is comparable, which also adds to the suspense on the night of the awards ceremony.

However, in the Best Film Editing department, there were some surprises.

"Crash", "Hard Candy" and "Munich Massacre" won the nomination seats, but the remaining two seats were occupied by "Walking with the Song" and "The Immortal Gardener". In other words, "Capote" and "Brokeback Mountain" are out, and if "Capote" is still excusable, then "Brokeback Mountain" is absent in the department with a shadow, as if the fatal shackles of the gay theme are dragging down the hind legs, putting a layer of elusive mystery on the ultimate suspense.

But even so, in terms of the comprehensive strength of the work, "Brokeback Mountain" still leads strongly, dominating the nomination stage with eight nominations, which also proves that this work is still the biggest favorite in this year's awards season; Unexpectedly, but unexpectedly, "Hard Candy" followed with seven nominations, setting a new personal high for Lance, surpassing a series of competitors and becoming "Brokeback Mountain's" biggest rival on the night of the ceremony.

Could it be that "Hard Fruit Candy" really wants to create a miracle, overturn "Brokeback Mountain" and "Munich Massacre", and reach the top of the Oscar podium? If that's the case, this year's Oscars are definitely a good show! Just imagining this possibility makes people's blood boil and they can't wait. (To be continued.) )
