1047 was the first to fall behind
This year's Best Adapted Screenplay department is really a bit weak, from the beginning of the awards season, "The Departed" can hardly find an opponent, and the other candidates on the nomination list have changed one after another, but "The Departed" is still the one who has the last laugh. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoSo, tonight's victory of "The Departed" is also logical, laying a solid foundation for this work to compete for best picture in the second half.
In contrast, the best original screenplay has shown a rare vitality this year, and Lance, who has won the screenwriter nomination for three consecutive years, has dedicated such a wonderful work as "Fury Road", although the script is a little weak, but the handling of details and the portrayal of the characters have still received countless praises, and many people think that even if Lance occupies a place in the nomination seat, this is also a matter of course. But as a result, "Berserk Road" has never been able to show competitiveness in the script department, and was eventually kicked out of the top five nominations of the Writers Guild of America and the Oscars. This shows how fierce the competition in the original department has been this year.
In the final list of nominees, "Babel", "Queen" and "Little Sunshine Beauty" are all best contenders, and their overall strength and momentum are far ahead of other competitors; The other two contenders are "Letter from Iwo Jima" and "Pan's Labyrinth", both of which were dark horses in the second half of the awards season, and "Babel" was nominated for Best Picture by stepping on the corpses of these two competitors at the last minute.
Among them, "Babel" is one of the troika, one of the biggest favorites tonight, almost leading the first half of the awards season, and it was not until the second half of the award season that it was overtaken by "The Departed", but even so, at the Oscars, the number of nominations for "Babel" was also ahead of the "Departed"; "Queen" won the Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay, "Little Sunshine Beauty" had the last laugh in the American Writers Guild, and as for "Letter from Iwo Jima" and "Pan's Labyrinth", being able to overwhelm "Fury Road" is the best portrayal of strength and voice.
Compared to the "Departed", the battle of "Babel" is extremely dangerous, and almost every nominee has a chance to win.
After opening the envelope, Tobey Maguire handed over the opportunity to announce the results to his partner Christen. Christen glanced at the card, then at Toby, and a light smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "The winner of the 79th Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay is ...... 'Little Sunshine Beauty'." ”
The audience was stunned, unexpected? Surprise? Dark horse? There is no way to find a suitable word to describe the shock of this moment! No wonder Toby's expression just now was so meaningful, he was Leonardo's best friend, and the two awards presented were first for the "Departed" and then for the "Tower of Babel", which can be said to have laid an important foundation for the "Departed" to reach the top.
After Best Supporting Actor, "Little Sunshine Beauty" once again won Best Original Screenplay - such a heavyweight award, and it was won after defeating the two heavyweights "Babel" and "The Queen", which is simply the biggest "upset" so far tonight, although the Writers Guild of America award list has foreshadowed such an outcome, but when the answer is actually revealed on the Oscar stage, the shock still can't help but set off a huge wave.
"Tower of Babel", the first to fall behind! After missing out on Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Screenplay, "Babel" still has a nominee in the three categories of director, editor and film, but its competitiveness has plummeted. So far in tonight's awards ceremony, this Oscar-second favorite has only won one award for Best Original Score, and has lost to "Little Sunshine Beauty" twice in head-to-head competition, such a bad situation reminds people of "Dream Girl". Obviously, after this work led the first half of the awards season strongly, but the follow-up was weak, especially after the nominees were released, the main awards were in a predicament of encirclement, and the momentum was also declining, which led to a bad situation tonight.
Of course, if "Babel" can still make a difference in best director and best film editing, it is not impossible to replicate the miracle of last year's "crash", but "Babel" needs to meet competitors who are several times stronger than "crash", Martin Scorsese for the Best Director award, and "Fury Road" for the Best Film Editing award, which are insurmountable mountains. It is almost certain that "Babel" has officially withdrawn from tonight's ultimate showdown.
Halfway through the award ceremony, one of the troikas, the "Tower of Babel", was the first to fall behind, and this situation was definitely unexpected-according to expectations, the three works were bound to have a struggle, and the "Fury Road" in the technical department will feel the powerful impact of "Pan's Labyrinth" and "Letter from Iwo Jima", and fall into a bitter battle; Among the main divisions is the head-to-head duel between the "Departed" and the "Tower of Babel...... However, it is clear that these expectations have been nullified, and the sweep of the "Fury Road" is in stark contrast to the successive defeats of the "Tower of Babel". As a result, the "Tower of Babel" was out.
But what is really surprising is the rise of "Sunshine Little Beauty". This work has missed the nominations for Best Director and Best Film Editing, and it is basically considered uncompetitive, not to mention, as an independent work, it has to face the incomparably powerful "queen". However, the trend of the awards ceremony was unexpected, "Little Sunshine Beauty" pulled teeth in a row, won the best supporting actor and the best original screenplay, not only defeated the "Tower of Babel", not only with the two statuettes and the "inconvenient truth" side by side, but also surpassed the "Departed" with two weight awards and became a direct competitor of "Fury Road".
In other words, the troika still exists, but the "Little Sunshine Beauty" takes the place of the "Tower of Babel" and faces off against the "Departed" and "Fury Road". This reminds people of a shocking upset before the Oscars - the Producers Guild of America awarded the Best Picture Award to ...... "Little Sunshine Beauty"! It's not "The Departed", it's not "Babel", it's not "The Road of Fury", but "Little Sunshine Beauty", which really caused a stunned voice, and it can be seen that the producers affirmed "Little Sunshine Beauty".
However, after the American Producers Guild announced the results, it was widely believed that the victory of "Little Sunshine Beauty" was the benefit of the crane and clam competition, and the serious division of votes between the troika led to the "Little Sunshine Beauty" finally standing out, which is really a bit of luck.
However, on top of the Oscars, "Little Sunshine Beauty" still had the last laugh in two important departments, and her momentum was even more powerful than "Departed", and it was completely on par with "Fury Road", which ...... So, are there more surprises tonight? Could it be that "Little Sunshine Beauty" is going to fight back all the way and become the first work in history to win Best Picture without winning a Best Director nomination? Then tonight's awards ceremony will be interesting.
The two trophies of the script department found their respective winners, but caused a storm, and the whole award ceremony suddenly changed dramatically, but before the palpitations could be calmed, Kate Winslet took the stage to present the last and most important award in the technical department: Best Film Editing.
Last year, "Crash" finally achieved an upset, that is, it took the lead in winning the Best Film Editing Award, and then won the Best Picture Award in one go. This shows the importance of the award.
The competition for this year's Best Film Editing Award is even fiercer, with five films, "The Departed", "Babel", "Blood Diamond", "Children of Men" and "Fury Road", nominated for the final stage of the showdown.
Needless to say, the competitiveness of "Blood Diamond" and "Son of Man" is not a concern, and the troika of best picture is the most important thing. In fact, in the first half of the awards season, "Babel" was able to take the lead, and the dazzling editing contributed to it, and received a lot of praise, but in the second half it was overtaken by two competitors, especially "The Departed", which is also an important reason for the substitution of the leader position.
Tonight, the weight of the award for Best Film Editing gradually increased as the award ceremony progressed, and even more so after the "Tower of Babel" fell behind, an award that the "Departed" could not afford to lose, because this was the "Departed's" last chance.
The "Little Sunshine Beauty", which sprung up at the party, was both absent from the Best Film Editing and Best Director awards, and the film did not win nominations in terms of actor and actress, which means that the biggest bargaining chip of "Little Sunshine Beauty" has been revealed, that is, the best supporting actor and the best original screenplay, and the initiative has been handed over to the competitors.
If "Fury Road" loses the Best Director and Best Film Editing awards in a row, then there is still hope for the counterattack of "Little Sunshine Beauty", and if "The Departed" succeeds in winning these two statuettes, the best picture is likely to be born among these three works, and the competition is unimaginable, and "The Departed" may still have a slight upper hand - because the three trophies for Best Director, Best Film Editing and Best Adapted Screenplay all far exceed the other awards.
On the other hand, if "The Departed" can't win these two trophies, then regardless of whether "Fury Road" wins the prize or not, the "Little Sunshine Beauty" with the two core trophies will become the biggest favorite, but the "Departed" will withdraw from the competition. Not only because "The Departed" currently only has one Best Adapted Screenplay trophy in his hands, but also because "The Departed" still can't win in the absence of the nomination of "Little Sunshine Beauty", and the hope of the final competition will disappear like a bubble.
Best Film Editing Award, this is a start, "The Departed" must win this award, and then do everything possible to win the Best Director Award, then he can firmly control the advantage of the situation in his own hands, otherwise...... Otherwise there would be no "then".
"Babel" has just fallen behind, who would have predicted that "Departed" will also be on the verge of falling behind, exciting, all this is really too exciting!
