823 Calm Waves

The blockbuster suspense of the 78th Oscars was revealed, and the Best Supporting Actor award went to "Fruit Hard Candy", Lance successfully won his first acting statuette, which also means that in the competition for Best Picture, "Fruit Hard Candy" actually seized the bridgehead and took the lead. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Even in the nomination stage, "Fruit Hard Candy" and "Brokeback Mountain" go hand in hand, but this pattern still catches people off guard.

Subsequently, the award ceremony quickly entered the technical department, and the trend of each award was not too unpopular, especially in the stark contrast of the opening suspense, the calm ceremony really made people a little drowsy.

The "Memoirs of a Geisha", which won numerous critical acclaim in the early part of the awards season, became the protagonist, and at the beginning, this work was even once optimistic about hitting the best picture, and Zhang/Zi/Yihe Gong/Li was also considered to be a candidate for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, but in the second half of the awards season, it was unsustainable, and the overall unsatisfactory quality still restricted further development.

After the Oscar nominations were announced, "Memoirs of a Geisha" won six nominations, the number of nominations remained the same as "Crash", but the quality of the nominations was not at all in the same class, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Sound Effects, Best Sound Editing, Best Original Score, all six nominations came from technical awards, none of the main departments were successful, so that the nominees were not able to bring more attraction to the work after the announcement of the list.

However, at the awards ceremony, the five nominees for Best Picture all lacked the pull of the technical department, which also made "Memoirs of a Geisha" the biggest ruler of the technical department.

The most competitive category for best cinematography, "Memoirs of a Geisha" beat out the award-winning "Hard Candy" and the critically acclaimed "Brokeback Mountain", and even "Batman Prequel: The Mystery of the Shadows" and "New World" were reduced to companionship.

This award can be regarded as a small underdog, as the royal photographer of Reims, after winning the little golden man with the "City of God", Hayden Hunter can be said to be the most sought-after photographer in Hollywood. However, last year's "Murder with a Knife" was unexpectedly nominated, which was amazing, and this year Hayden brought "Fruit Hard Candy" and "Sin City" two masterpieces, objectively speaking, the photography level of both works is very outstanding, and it is not unusual for both to be nominated for it, but as a result, the nominated "Fruit Hard Candy" lost to "Memoirs of a Geisha" in a head-to-head confrontation, which is indeed a bit surprising.

Subsequently, "Memoirs of a Geisha" won the best art direction and the best costume design, and became the biggest winner in the first half of the awards ceremony. But even so, what impressed people the most was the grip of Best Supporting Actor.

Neither the Best Sound Effects, "Hard Fruit Candy" nor "Memoirs of a Geisha" stood out, but "King Kong" still showed a strong position in the technical department and won smoothly. Sure enough, then "King Kong" won the Best Sound Editing Award and the Best Visual Effects Award one after another, and in a blink of an eye, it equaled the three golden figures of "Memoirs of a Geisha".

In the technical department, the only award for best makeup left on the sidelines, was won by "The Chronicles of Narnia". In addition, the Best Original Song award, "The Stream" had the last laugh without any surprises, and the Best Original Score was won by "Brokeback Mountain", John Williams, who is known as the living fossil of the film soundtrack industry, won two nominations for "Memoirs of a Geisha" and "Munich Massacre", but still lost to McTown, however, the little golden man no longer has much meaning to John, so the miss of this award is not too surprising.

The last award in the first half is the Best Supporting Actress Award, which is opened by the supporting actor, ended with the supporting actress, and then starts the second half of the performance after the advertisement.

Morgan Freeman took the stage and presented Best Supporting Actress to ...... Rachel Weisz. No accidents, no accidents, Michelle Williams was not able to complete the counterattack, and Amy Adams was not able to create an upset, Rachel unshakably continued the advantage of the entire awards season, winning the first nomination and achieving the pinnacle of her career as an actor.

This year's supporting actor department was full of strange things, with 33-year-old Lance winning Best Supporting Actor and 35-year-old Rachel winning Best Supporting Actress. Originally, the supporting actor department was always called the old people's home, and the supporting actress department was called the new star shine, but this time it was reversed, and Rachel was even two years older than Lance. It seems that all traces are proving that this is an Oscar that does not play according to common sense.

The uneventful first half of the awards ceremony finally came to an end, with "King Kong" and "Memoirs of a Geisha" each winning three statuettes and leading the trophy list, but neither work was able to nominate the core department, which also meant that the battle for Best Picture was dead; "Fruit Hard Candy" and "Brokeback Mountain" each won a trophy, occupying a slight advantage that is not an advantage in the ultimate suspense.

It is not a conventionally defined unpopularity, but a ceremony where no work can win and achieve a sweep, just like a ceremony in the cold winter.

The first half was so boring, with a stunning opening and then a slump and a lack of interest at halftime, so much so that the second half was tepid after the curtain was opened again. Meryl Streep and Lily-Tomlin joined hands on stage to present the Lifetime Achievement Award to Robert Altman, one of the greatest directors in American film history, but never won the Oscar for Best Director, which has to be said to be a huge regret, and now, a golden man with a Lifetime Achievement Award makes up for this shortcoming.

After the awards for Best Documentary Long Short Film, Best Animated Long Short Film, and Best Foreign Language Film were awarded, the Best Film Editing Award finally kicked off the ultimate suspense, and among the five nominees, "The Immortal Gardener" and "Walking with the Song" were the obvious companions, and the three Best Picture nominees for "Munich Tragedy", "Crash" and "Hard Candy" were the strongest contenders for the award.

The fact that the editors union of America is one of the five major unions in the United States is enough to prove the importance of the award for best picture, and is even known as the "little best picture award". At this year's Editors Guild of America Awards, "Crash" won an upset, which also opened the way for "Crash" to rise in the awards season.

Therefore, tonight's focus is on whether the "crash" continues the upward curve of the miracle, or the "Munich tragedy" relies on its profound heritage to emerge at the Oscars, or the "fruit hard candy" is a dark horse that is shiny and black.

Objectively speaking, the editing of "Hard Candy" has been widely acclaimed, and the long-shot camera movement, the combination of close-up and close-up, and the sense of space in the medium and long shots burst out with a wonderful rhythmic effect under the sharp editing of editor Aaron Menke's temperament - not to mention, Aaron has dedicated "City of God", "City of Sin", "Murder with a Knife" and other masterpieces in the past three years, but none of them have been able to win a little golden man, which is really suffocating. This is also the biggest chip of the "fruit hard candy". Once "Hard Candy" won the Oscars, it was immediately clear where the Best Picture would belong.

However, apparently this year's Oscars disappointed again, with no surprises, no surprises, no suspense, and the little-known editor Hughes-Winborne continued the momentum of the American Editors' Guild and took home the Oscar statuette - "Crash" is just Hughes's second film.

With only two acting trophies, two script trophies, and one director trophy left at the Oscars, the ownership of the best picture is not only not clear, but more and more confusing, "Fruit Hard Candy", "Brokeback Mountain" and "Crash" each won a trophy, plus the five Best Picture nominees do not have any advantage in the competition for Best Actor and Best Actress, so the ownership of the script trophy will play a decisive role. It was obviously a calm and unexciting awards ceremony, but the tension was inexplicably permeated.

The high-profile "Brokeback Mountain" was really closed in front of the old pedants of the academy, and the mighty momentum of the entire awards season only won one Best Soundtrack Award tonight, which was expected but unreasonable, which made people a little angry; The "crash" that came to the top can almost be said to be a TV movie, and the immature shooting techniques cannot match the movie at all, but it won the best editing award in his arms, as if he had become the most powerful contender so far, and he was stunned and a little funny; The comprehensive level of "fruit hard candy" that is constantly talked about is worthy of recognition, but the small pattern, dark theme, and ****** ending do not match the Oscar statuette, and after winning the best supporting actor, the momentum has actually caught up.

If...... If "Capote" or "Munich Massacre" had won in the Best Director category, then tonight would have been a real mess. Considering Steven Spielberg's strong appeal and the unjust case of "Saving Private Ryan" six years ago, it seems that the possibility is expanding. Oscar has entered the sprint stage, but there is an irrepressible sense of absurdity, which makes people cry and laugh.

Sure enough, it was followed by Hilary Swank, who naturally presented Best Actor. So, the script department stayed behind, hoping to add some suspense - the possibility of the Oscars turning into a farce, a joke, seems to be starting to go off the rails. (To be continued.) )
