From the successive misses of "Babel" and "The Departed", to the last laugh in the Best Film Editing Award for "Fury Road", to the appearance of Philip Seymour Hoffman, the situation has changed so frequently in a short period of time that people really can't react, until the picture of the five Best Actress candidates appeared on the big screen, and the thoughts came back one after another, and the tense atmosphere spread in a blink of an eye. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Of the five Best Picture nominees, "Fury Road" is the only one to be nominated for Best Actor and Best Actress, and at this moment, the tragic consequences of Warner Bros.'s strategic mistake that led to Leonardo's finalist as a finalist with "Blood Diamond" instead of "The Departed" are on full display. However, "Fury Road" is not a hit in these two divisions, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an accompaniment.
"The Queen's" Helen Mirren swept the awards season with ease, and the consensus was sure that there would be no rivals at all, and even Judi Dench and Meryl Streep struggled to shake her lead this year. It's no exaggeration to say that Best Actress is the least suspenseful award of this year's awards season, and it's almost certain that everyone will be witnessing Helen's coronation tonight.
And so it turned out.
"Helen Mirren, 'Queen.'" Philip's voice came from the speaker, and for the first time, all the audience members gave a standing ovation in unison, expressing their recognition and affirmation of the award. Although Charlize missed her second chance to reach the top of the actress, she still stood up and gave a sincere applause.
In the long history of film, there have been two actresses who have appeared on the cover of "Playboy" magazine and successfully won the Oscar, one is Kim Basinger of "Los Angeles Confidential", and the other is Charlize Theron, who has proved with their own personal experience that actresses are not just vases.
The same goes for Helen. She mostly played the role of a vase in her youth, and because she didn't care about showing off her body at all, she starred in a number of restricted films, dedicating herself completely to acting. However, some gossip tabloids described her as a "glamorous/star", which made her lose herself for a while in order to distance herself from "sexy/sensuality". However, her solid acting skills and rich stage experience have finally paid off, and now she has won many international awards such as Cannes Actress and Emmy Awards, and after being nominated for three Oscars, she has fulfilled her long-cherished wish of a little golden man.
Of course, tonight seems to have foreshadowed the outcome of Giselle's victory in the Best Supporting Actress category.
For the first time tonight, the entire Kodak Theater audience stood up and received a tsunami of applause to pay tribute to the queen of acting.
Immediately after, Reese Witherspoon took the stage to present the Best Actor Award.
The suspense of the male protagonist seems to have increased a bit compared to the female lead, but Ryan Gosling and Lance are almost certainly the escorts. Ryan, who is only twenty-six years old, is nominated for the first time, not only is he too young for the Oscar winner, but he is also inexperienced, and he won the nomination with the outstanding performance of "half Nielsen", which is already the best award; This is the third year in a row that Lance has won an acting nomination, but this year's "Fury Road" is really not competitive enough, not to mention, he just won the Best Supporting Actor award last year, and it is too difficult to win it for two consecutive years.
In addition, Leonardo, with the blessing of the two works "Blood Diamond" and "Departed", lost most of his advantages due to a strategic mistake in his public relations strategy, and it can be said that he basically missed the showdown. Before the Oscars, many media were hyping the showdown between Lance and Leonardo, but this was purely for sales and ratings, just like "Leonardo vs. Tom Cruise", such a peak showdown with the world's highest popularity and popularity can always attract more eyeballs, but in fact, the chances of both of them winning the award are too slim.
It's fair to say that Forest Whitaker and Peter Otto are the ultimate competitors.
Peter naturally needless to say, the eighth Oscar nomination is enough to see his status in Hollywood, in the case of receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award, this year's "Doom Eros" is the last chance in the true sense, and the old man vote and merit vote are undoubtedly the biggest bargaining chips; Forrest has been rolling in Hollywood for 20 years, starring in classics such as "Field Platoon", "Crying Game", "Thriller Space", etc., is a licorice-like supporting character, although "The Last Dictator/Dictator" is the first Oscar nomination in his career, but his near-perfect performance has won applause, and the entire awards season is also a strong lead, obviously, absolute strength and dedication votes will be important weights.
Lance could clearly feel that Leonardo's muscles were slightly stiffened next to him, and the subtle changes were hidden under the suit, which could not be seen on the surface, but the heat that was slightly emitted after the tension was extreme could still be glimpsed.
Lance was surprised to find that he was not nervous at all, even Emma, who was sitting next to him, was even more nervous than him, looking intently at Reese on the stage, which made Lance wonder. Mainly because he doesn't have any expectations for this award, it's not that he is not confident in his own strength, but he is realistic - he is not a popular candidate this year; However, feeling Leonardo's expectations, Lance couldn't help but start thinking, will he also stand on this podium again as an actor in the future and win the second gold statuette? Just by imagining such a scene in his mind, his heart beat faster, and the sudden burst of adrenaline made the corners of Lance's mouth sketch a smile.
Leonardo seemed to notice Lance's mood change, and couldn't help but turn his head, pulled out an elegant smile, and gently closed his chin. In those eyes, Lance saw Leonardo's eagerness, the impulse and urgency to prove himself, the desire to win recognition, and the desire to break through his vision, which reminded Lance of Leonardo's long acting career in the next ten years, his eyes flashed slightly, and he whispered, "Good luck." This sentence made the corners of Leonardo's mouth rise involuntarily, the arc was not large, but a trace of tacit understanding flashed.
Leonardo remembered another thing in his mind: he missed the "berserk road" in the first place, was this a lifelong regret decision? Especially just after experiencing Giselle's unbelievable counterattack.
The on-set director's camera lens was focused on Lance for the first time tonight, and then it captured the exchange between Lance and Leonardo, which was broadcast live and immediately aroused the amazement of countless viewers in front of the television, especially the female audience.
Quietly, the number of viewers of tonight's awards ceremony has exceeded 50 million, and it has exceeded 52 million in one go, and it continues to rise with a terrible momentum, and it seems that it may break the viewership record set by the 70th Oscars at any time, not only because the party is getting more and more exciting, and the suspense is revealed one by one; Because of the strong performance of "Fury Road", the "Fury Road" that has received a box office of 600 million in North America "Fury Road", when people realized that "Fury Road" is likely to replicate the miracle of "Midnight Cow/Lang", the TV suddenly became lively.
Reese opened the envelope and pulled out the card without pause, so neat and neat that the audience at the scene gasped, but before this breath could be spit out, Reese seemed to hold a hot potato, and couldn't wait to announce the results, "The winner of the 79th Academy Award for Best Actor is...... Forest Whitaker, 'The Last Dictatorship'. ”
Once again, there is no doubt about the results of the awards, Forrest continued his strong performance throughout the awards season, successfully won his first Oscar, and ended the competition for the acting department of this year's awards season as the fourth black man in history to reach the top of the actor.
This also means that Leonardo brushed shoulders with the Oscar statuette for the third time; and Lance, who regrettably missed his first race for Best Actor, and there is still a long future to be opened up as an actor; What's even more regrettable is that "Fury Road" missed out on the actor and actress throne, which announced that the possibility of "Fury Road" trying to tie the history of eleven Oscars is decreasing - because the current number of trophies in "Fury Road" is nine, and the remaining awards are two that have not yet been announced.
Missed, missed after all. Leonardo's first reaction was not to be disappointed, but to turn his head to look at Lance sitting beside him, his eyes were mixed, and it was almost difficult to hide.
When the last two awards in the acting department were announced, the awards season officially entered the final stage.
"Fury Road" swept eight trophies and one Best Supporting Actress trophy in the technical department, far ahead, as if it had become a monopoly, whether it became "Titanic" or "Brokeback Mountain", there are only two awards left to be revealed, and the closer it is to history, the more unsettling it is.
"Little Miss Sunshine" is next with two heavyweight trophies, but since this work did not win a nomination for Best Director, its best hope for victory is that "The Queen" or "Letter from Iwo Jima" will win the Best Director award, otherwise, no matter who wins the other three films, it will be last competitive.
For the "Tower of Babel" and the "Departed", there is no choice. Both films have only won one golden man so far, and only by winning Best Director can there be a glimmer of hope of hitting the best picture - of course, this hope is extremely slim, but if the best director is missed, then tonight's suspense will be completely killed. The "crash" miracle may not be able to be staged for the second time in the face of the strength of the nine little golden figures of the "Furious Road".
More importantly, can Martin Scorsese, the sixth Oscar nominee for Best Director, the master who has been in Hollywood for 30 years, the master who won Cannes and won the Venice to conquer the British Academy and the French Caesar, the master who has dedicated countless classics, can fulfill his long-cherished wish?
Peter Otto missed, Eddie Murphy missed, Emmanuel Lubezki missed, will the same tragedy play out with Martin Scorsese?
