Before the Oscar nominations were announced, "Babel" was not selected for the Producers Guild of America nominees, and the future was clouded; "The Departed" swept the list of nominees from the five major trade unions, with a strong presence in stability, and seemed to be the first favorite in the awards season; Many experts believe that the rivalry of Babel, Departed Walker, and Fury Road may be a source of interest for Dream Girl. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, after the announcement of the nominees, the prospects of the three works have changed dramatically, which is dismaying.

In addition to the Best Picture nomination, Babel also received six other nominations, including Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Film Editing, Best Original Score, and two Best Supporting Actress seats. Although the number of nominations is far behind that of "Fury Road", all the major departments have been shortlisted, and the nomination of the original script undoubtedly adds to the prospects of the film, which makes people feel the college's love for this work.

However, "Babel" also has regrets, and Brad Pitt's failure in the Best Supporting Actor category seems to have become a hidden danger. Putting this aside, the film's overall performance is second only to "Fury Road", and it is foreseeable that there will be a battle between the two works on the night of the awards ceremony.

The eight nominations for "Dream Girl" are a bit laughable, as three of them are for Best Original Song. Judging purely from the numbers, "Dream Girl" is still the biggest favorite in this year's awards season; But in terms of quality, "Dream Girl" missed the best picture and the best director, and the main department only received two nominations for Best Supporting Actress and Best Supporting Actor, as well as three technical nominations for Best Art Direction, Best Sound Effects, and Best Costume Design.

The eight nominations are too much, as if the work has been strong in the past month, all of which are just the media babbling, in fact, this work has never been a masterpiece in the minds of professional film critics and industry veterans, and now it has finally been revealed.

In contrast, above the Golden Globe Awards, the big victory of "Dream Girl" is more like a joke. At this point, when you think back to the rumored accurate prediction of the Golden Globe winners, it becomes all the more meaningful.

The fall of the "Departed" is indeed a surprise, and there is no sign until the nominees are announced, and Warner Bros. has not slackened in the slack of college public relations, although Warner Bros. has been running around for the "Letter from Iwo Jima" nomination for Best Picture, but they are not stupid enough to give up the strong advantage that "The Departed" has built, as evidenced by the list of nominees from the five major unions. But now it seems that "Departed" seems to be in a similar situation to the "Fury Road" - word of mouth is overwhelming, but the actual effect is really limited.

Of course, "The Departed", as a commercial film, did not win in the technical awards department, which is an important reason why the film only received five nominations. Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor, Best Film Editing, the five nominations are all from the core main departments, purely in terms of quality, on par with "Babel", the only regret is that Jack Nicholson failed to be selected for Best Supporting Actor, and only Mark Wahlberg was successfully shortlisted.

In this sense, although "The Departed" was defeated in the technical department, Warner Bros. was not able to push "Letter from Iwo Jima" to the top, which means that all the PR forces are focused on attacking the two main titles of Best Director and Best Picture. Perhaps, at the Oscars, the pattern of the troika of "Departed", "Babel" and "Fury Road" will be the main theme of the night.

Looking through the entire list of nominations, in addition to the fourteen nominations for "Fury Road", "Dream Girl" is followed by eight nominations, and "Babel" with seven nominations. In addition, the number of nominations for "Queen" and "Little Sunshine Beauty", which were shortlisted for Best Picture, was six and four respectively, and "The Departed" just became a sandwich cookie.

As the highlight of this year's independent works, the performance of "Queen" and "Little Sunshine Beauty" in the nomination list is just reversed from the momentum of the previous awards season. And the "Sunshine Little Beauty", which gradually gained momentum with the course of time, unfortunately failed to get one step closer in the nomination stage.

"Queen", as the most academia work in this year's awards season, won six nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Costume Design, and Best Original Score, and missed Best Film Editing, which also means that the hope of hitting Best Film has been weakened a lot, but winning the Best Director nomination has made up for the regret of the loss of the Directors Guild of America.

The four nominations for "Little Miss Sunshine" came from Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Screenplay. Each nomination is a very heavy core department, especially the two supporting parts of the department brought unexpected surprises, not the previously popular heroine Toni Colette, but two supporting role nominations, only ten years old Abigail-Breslin (Abigail-Breslin) can be called a veritable little sweetheart, but after losing the best director nomination, the rise of this independent film ushered in a slap in the face,

In addition, "Pan's Labyrinth" also won six nominations, although it did not occupy a place in the Best Picture nomination, but the two heavyweight nominations for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Original Screenplay still proved the hard power of this work, and the best original score, best cinematography, best art direction, and best makeup department were the icing on the cake.

"Letter from Iwo Jima" and "Chronicle of the Scandal" received four and three nominations, respectively.

Clint Eastwood deserves to be the darling of the Oscars, and the overall reputation of the two works "Flags of the Fathers" and "Letter from Iwo Jima" this year is not satisfactory, but the overall quality of "Letter from Iwo Jima" above the level is still sprung up, and it is almost about to complete the reversal, and in the end, it still loses, but still has four nominations for Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Sound Editing, and Best Sound Effects.

In the unfavorable situation of missing the Directors Guild of America nomination, Clint relied on his personal prestige to occupy a place in this year's best director competition, and once again faced Martin Scorsese; And Paul Haggis won the nomination in the screenwriting department for the third consecutive year after "Million Dollar Baby" and "Crash", replicating the miracle that Lance has created in the past three years, and the limelight is not the same.

"Scandal Chronicle" relied on solid performances to attract attention in the list of nominees, Best Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Original Score. If it weren't for the encounter with a more outstanding "queen", this work is estimated to make a difference this year.

Even so, this work is still not to be underestimated. Best Actress and Best Original Score all have a hard time, especially the highly respected Judi Dench, don't forget, she has only won one Best Supporting Actress Golden Man so far, and has not made a breakthrough in Best Actress for the time being.

Looking at the list of Oscar nominees from the perspective of works, this is probably the pattern. In the race for Best Picture, the showdown between "Babel", "Fury Road" and "The Departed" is undoubtedly the biggest focus, relatively speaking, "The Queen" and "Little Sunshine Beauty" both missed the Best Film Editing award and have fallen behind early - but the strange situation of last year's "crash" has already appeared, and who can say that this year will not repeat the mistakes of the past?

With a full month to go until the Oscars, this is the sprint stage of the college's PR, and what exactly will happen at this stage is something that no one can predict and no one can control. Six thousand college judges will try to find their way through this power game, and then wait quietly for the results to be revealed and see who the final winner is.

Different from last year's "Brokeback Mountain" and "Fruit Hard Candy" showdown, the advantages and disadvantages of the three works this year are more obvious and more distinct, it seems that no matter who you choose, it will create history, but the question is, what is the direction of this history, and what afterglow will it produce?

Choosing the "Road of Rage", there is no doubt that this is the embodiment of the tide of the times, and more importantly, it will bring earth-shaking changes to the film industry, which is definitely not inferior to any era change in history; The choice of "Babel" will not only be the first time in the history of Mexico that a practitioner will stand on the Oscar podium, but also show the anxiety of contemporary society and the vision of the global market; Choosing "The Departed", there is no doubt that Martin Scorsese will fulfill his long-cherished wish and finally reach the top of the Oscars and witness the consummation of a generation of masters.

One step further, the choice of "Queen" or "Little Sunshine Beauty" is a milestone for independent films, which may not be as breakthrough as "Fury Road", but it is still worthy of recognition.

What is certain is that, thanks to the presence of "Fury Road" and the anti-expectation of fourteen nominations, this year's Oscars will definitely not disappoint. Aside from the overall strength of the film, in terms of individual awards, this year's Oscars are also a lot of highlights, Martin in the director department, Leonardo in the actor department, Paul in the screenwriting department, and Hayden Hunter in the photography department...... The competition is no less intense than Best Picture.

Among them, the first to bear the brunt is naturally the best directing department, which sparks countless discussions and attention every year. This year, Martin seems to have finally ushered in the best chance to reach the top, but there has never been a shortage of overlooked film masters in the history of the Oscars, will Martin continue this tragedy?
