Compared to Best Supporting Actor, this year's Best Actor contender is really lackluster, not that the strength is too weak, but the strength is too clear. Philip Seymour Hoffman of "Capote" www.biquge.info won a lot of praise from the start of the awards season, which is similar to Lance of "Hard Candy", except that Philip rarely faced too many challenges and led the long awards season.

"Brokeback Mountain" Heath is not only constrained by the homosexual theme of his work, and has been on the cusp of controversy throughout the awards season, but also at the immature age of only 25 years old and his first nomination, and the bonus points for gay roles have collided head-on with "Capote", which means that it is difficult for him to achieve a turnaround; Jeff Daniels of "Squid and Whale" is first of all a comedy performance, and the academy has already given a nomination, and secondly, the work has not been able to get the treatment of last year's "glass of wine life", and has been given a cold reception by the academy, and the chances of winning the award are to accompany the last seat.

"Walking with the Song" Jaequin-Phoenix is undoubtedly Philip's strongest challenger, but Jaequin's personality is arrogant, although he does not explicitly confront the academy, but the academy's public relations rarely participates, and the comprehensive strength of the work itself is not as good as last year's "soul singer", even Jamie Fox failed to dominate last year, and this year's Jackie is naturally less likely.

The "bustling" Terrence Howard unexpectedly has the capital to become a dark horse, although the overall quality of the work is not comparable to "Soul Singer" and "Walking with Song", but Terrence's performance has indeed received a lot of praise, plus he is the only black person nominated in the four major departments of acting this year, black votes have undoubtedly become the biggest bargaining chip, and don't forget, he also starred in "Crash", and the word-of-mouth of the two works has been superimposed, adding a lot of chips.

But tonight's Oscars still lacked surprises, Terrence was unable to achieve a comeback, and Philip won the Oscar with a blockbuster after ten years of polishing in the supporting role.

Compared to Philip's absolute lead in Best Actor, this year's Best Actress is more interesting, with all the focus on Felicity Hoffman in "Crossing America" and Reese Witherspoon in "Singing Together".

Objectively speaking, although Reese's performance in "Walking with Song" is worthy of recognition, delicately and truly interpreting the taste of country singer Joan Carter (June-Carter), her style is almost completely suppressed by Jackie Queen, who is playing on the same stage, Jackie's performance is not only full of tension, but also profound and complex, relatively speaking, Reese lacks inner excavation, not to mention the delicate speculation of psychological transformation.

And Felicity's performance in "Crossing America" is undoubtedly shocking, she really figured out the image of a "transgender man who turns male into female", this is a character who bursts out enough strength from soul to appearance, from body movements to language habits and other details to hand over a perfect answer, more importantly, Felicity's psychological speculation on transgender people is commendable, and truly interprets a convincing character that supports the whole story.

Felicity is undoubtedly the biggest hit of the year, with Empire magazine selecting the top 10 most outstanding performances of 2005, with Lance of "Hard Candy", Philippe of "Capote" and Felicity of "Crossing America" rounding out the top three. This is enough to see people's recognition of Felicityti's acting skills.

However, Felicity's disadvantages are undoubtedly very obvious. First, the topic of homosexuality has become a hot potato this year, and "Crossing the United States" has taken a step closer to discussing the psychology of transgender people, which is undoubtedly challenging the limit of the college's patience, even if the college is willing to reward "Brokeback Mountain", but the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be taken step by step, they are definitely not willing to award the actor and actress to the LGBT group; second, the completion and core depth of the work of "Crossing the United States" are unsatisfactory, the overall quality of the work is mediocre, and the lack of details in the script restricts the sublimation of the theme of the film, which is also a notch worse than "Walking with Songs"; Third, Reese can be said to be the sweetheart of the United States, loved by everyone, Felicity seems to be much more honest, rolled in Hollywood for more than 30 years before she came out, and became famous with the TV series "Desperate Housewives", but she is very low-key and her social life is not active.

So people always say that in the competition for the Oscars, nominations depend on strength, and winning awards depends on luck. In addition to strength, the right time and place are indispensable.

In a round of applause, Tom Cruise, who was the guest of honor, revealed the final answer, Reese still defeated Felicity and successfully won the most important trophy of his career as an actor, ushering in a turning point in his career.

Although there are no surprises in the ownership of the actor and the actress, it is basically the result expected before the awards ceremony, but the situation at this time still makes people cry and laugh. Winning the Best Picture nomination, "Hard Candy", "Brokeback Mountain", "Crash" and "Capote" each won a trophy, "Munich Massacre" is now uncollected, but no one in the Best Director department can ignore the existence of Steven Spielberg, is it possible that there will be a dilemma that there are only two Best Picture winners this year?

At the grand event of the film awards ceremony, the best picture is undoubtedly the crown jewel, and winning the best picture undoubtedly means that this work is the most completed work of the year. The so-called degree of completion often means the cooperation of different departments, so generally speaking, the winner of the best picture will win multiple trophies, such as "Ben Hur", "Titanic", "The Lord of the Rings 3" and other works that sweep the little golden man are not uncommon. Even in a highly competitive vintage, the winner was able to win three or more trophies, including Best Picture.

In the long 78-year history of the Oscars, except for the first decade, when the ceremonial awards were not perfect, resulting in a limited number of awards for Best Picture that year, since then, each Best Picture winner has won more than three trophies, strictly speaking, there are only eight Best Pictures in the long history.

The last time the Oscar for Best Picture won only two statuettes was in 1941 at the 13th Oscars, Alfred Hitchcock's "Butterfly Dream" won two awards for Best Picture and Best Black and White Cinematography.

Three or more trophies, this is an affirmation of the best picture - this work also shows commendable brilliance in other aspects, and when combined it becomes the most complete masterpiece. But if you can't win even three trophies, it seems a bit too much, is it true that there is only one title for Best Picture, and the other links are not worthy of the name? Why do other productions win more trophies, but Best Picture cannot? Best Picture is not as good as other works in other aspects, so how does it win the "best"?

Of course, it is also possible that the technical department chose one work, the performance department chose one work, and the overall performance chose another work, and this explanation makes sense. But is the best picture really still the best? Or is this just a work that lacks highlights but is better than the theme? Such a best, even if you get it, it doesn't seem to be justified.

Now, after 65 years, is it going to be such a dilemma again?

Tonight's awards ceremony is not only lacking in surprises and boring, but now it is like a cold winter, on the edge of a cliff of great disappointment. Especially when I think back to the bloody drama in the past awards season, it is ridiculous, lamentable, hateful, and ridiculous, and it is even more chilling for the Oscars - the paranoid and conservative judges refuse to admit that a work is excellent only because of the rejection and fear of homosexuality, and even refuse to watch "Brokeback Mountain"; In the process of public relations, the college did not compromise on its means, and even turned a blind eye to the behavior of "crashing" and privately distributing videotapes, blatantly excluding "Brokeback Mountain"; The plagiarism door has also been completely forgotten, and compared with the copyright protection of artistic creation, connections and interests have begun to prevail, allowing people to truly see the cruelty and coldness of society; The persistence of face and the sinking of interests made the judges like grass on the wall, constantly changing their votes, and the art award ceremony was truly reduced to a game on Wall Street, laughing and generous...... It's like a circus antic.

If this year's Best Picture really only won two trophies – or even more tragically, just one Best Picture – then this year's awards season will be a real farce.

The frightening problem is that the voting results have ended, the results of the awards have been sealed, and even if the academy executives are aware of the possibility of this embarrassment, they are now helpless and too late to make amends.

This is not a lie, in the case that only the Best Original Screenplay, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Picture have not yet been awarded at the entire awards ceremony, the possibilities are expanding step by step - or, just like last year, "Million Dollar Baby" made a series of efforts at the last moment, winning two heavyweight trophies for Best Actress and Best Director in a row, and overtook "The Aviator" with a sweeping attitude, and finally won the Best Picture, which is also a possibility, but who has such ability, Stand out at the last minute?

Best Adapted Screenplay, First to Play!

Dustin Hoffman walked on the stage as the guest of honor, the tension in the air began to slowly diffuse, the invisible and untouchable atmosphere slowly spread along the skin, and the heart contracted suddenly, as if there was an invisible hand behind him, constantly pushing the situation forward, that irresistible force is pushing the 78th Oscars into an unknown situation.
