The 68th Oscars have undoubtedly received a lot of attention, but the reasons are different from last year's "Pulp Fiction", "Forrest Gump", and "The Shawshank Redemption", this year's Oscars are bound to be the focus of Hugo's strong voice, Hugo has given delicate, real, wonderful and terrifying performances in the three works of "Before Sunrise", "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Death Row Walk", becoming the actor who has won the most attention in terms of acting skills in the past year.

It is often said that excellent word-of-mouth, strong momentum, and high popularity often become a stumbling block, especially in a situation like Hugo, which combines thousands of praises, which may inspire people's rebellious psychology, but they are unwilling to vote for Hugo; Or vote with the idea that "Hugo is so powerful that others will definitely vote for him, so I will support the second place, such as Nicholas"; Or maybe the competition between Hugo and Nicholas was too fierce and too frequent to be disgusting, and they voted for the third contender...... This often creates an upset.

The saying that the big hit must die, this sentence is especially obvious this year, Hugo's three works a year are rising, almost giving people an illusion that "if it is not Hugo, it is not just", which makes Hugo's call for the award reach an unprecedented peak. As a result, the Golden Globe Award gave Hugo a disadvantage, which made the Oscars suddenly change dramatically.

Therefore, the award trend of the Oscar for Best Actor has also become the biggest suspense of this year's awards ceremony.

However, at least from the list of Oscar nominees, it can be seen that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is obviously very satisfied with Hugo's performance in the past year, and has also given great recognition in the nomination stage, and Hugo's name has been seen again among the top five nominees for Best Supporting Actor!

Hugo's outstanding performance in "The Seven Deadly Sins" earned Hugo a place in the Best Supporting Actor race, and the Golden Globe suspense will continue to the Oscars, as Brad Pitt's performance in "The Twelve Monkeys" earned him his first career Oscar nomination.

The battle between Hugo and Brad, which is bound to become another highlight of the Oscars, is even more interesting is that Hugo won both Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor nominations, and the vote-sharing crisis has reached an unprecedented height.

If people hope that Hugo will defeat Brad, and the votes are concentrated in the supporting actor department, it means that Hugo will miss out on the best actor; If people concentrate on choosing "Death Row Walk", does that mean that Brad will also pick up his first statuette? If the votes are too strict, is it possible that "Hugo will go home empty-handed and Brad will win the competition"?

Of course, in addition to Hugo and Brad, the other three contenders for Best Supporting Actor are also not to be underestimated, Kevin Spacey for "The Very Suspects", Ed Harris for "Apollo 13", and James Cromwell for "Pig Baby." well) were nominated.

Compared with the other three acting departments, the list of nominees for Best Supporting Actress has changed greatly, "Non-Qiangchun." Mira Sovino of Medicine, Catherine Quinan of Apollo 13 and Kate Winslet of Sense and Sensibility were shortlisted, while the last two spots went to Joan Allen of Nixon. Allen) and Maya Wenningham (Mare) of "Georgia (Geia). Winningham) really surprised many people - there is a huge difference with the Golden Globes.

It is worth mentioning that Kate, who is only twenty years old, relied on her outstanding performance of "Sense and Sensibility" to be shortlisted for this category, which complements Charlize, who was shortlisted for Best Actress, and the strong rise of young actresses has also become a bright landscape in the list of nominees.

However, after the Oscar nominations came out, the biggest subversion of the previous Golden Globe Awards appeared in the screenwriting department, although the previous Golden Globe Awards rewarded the efforts of screenwriters with six nominated seats, but among the ten seats in the two departments of the Oscar Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Original Screenplay, only three seats matched, which is really a big surprise.

Among the best adapted screenplays, "Sense and Sensibility", "Baby Pig", "Far from the Casino", "The Postman" and "Apollo 13" were nominated respectively; Among the best original screenplays, "The Usual Suspects", "Braveheart", "Before Sunrise", "Nixon Biography" and "Toy Story" made it to the top five.

The biggest surprise in the list is undoubtedly the figure of Emma Thompson and Hugo, two talented women, two actors who were born in prestigious schools and whose literary literacy has been unanimously recognized, this time they shine in the position of screenwriter, which is also the second consecutive year that Hugo has been affirmed in screenwriting after "The Shawshank Redemption".

Looking through the entire list, people suddenly found that Hugo actually won three nominations, like the Golden Globes, two nominations in the actor department, and was recognized in the original screenplay department, winning three nominations for the first time in history, creating an era that belongs to Hugo.

Hugo's strong momentum reminds people of Emma Thompson, who has been very active in recent years, and twice the year before last and twice this year, Emma won double nominations at the Oscars - but for reference, Emma's double nominations in the year before were both missed, although there are many reasons, but the split crisis is definitely one of them.

Hugo won three nominations this year, and although it was a great success in terms of the number of nominations, perhaps behind the success was a crisis of returning empty-handed. But no matter what the final result is, Hugo's Oscar nomination stage can be described as infinitely beautiful, acting double nominations plus nominations for Best Original Screenplay, continuing the momentum of the Golden Globe Awards, pushing Hugo's career to the absolute peak in one fell swoop, which is also an important reason why it is widely believed that Hugo's 1995 is not inferior to 1994.

From the perspective of the work, "Braveheart" leads with ten nominations, three important nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay, and seven technical nominations for Best Cinematography, Best Sound Editing, Best Makeup, Best Costume Design, Best Sound, Best Film Editing, and Best Drama Soundtrack followed.

"Apollo 13" followed, not to be outdone with nine nominations, Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay The four major departments have occupied a place, but unfortunately, the defeat of Best Director will undoubtedly become a hard injury, and the best art direction, best visual effects, best drama soundtrack, best film editing, best sound and other technical departments will also have a head-to-head showdown with "Braveheart".

"Pig Baby" and "Sense and Sensibility", the two Golden Globe favorites have both received seven nominations, because the former is a comedy and the latter has not been nominated for best director, which has also made the competitiveness of the two works in the Oscars plummet.

The Oscars presented a completely different scene from the Golden Globes, replacing "Pig Baby" against "Sense and Emotion", and "Braveheart" vs. "Apollo 13" became the main theme, and in the end, who would die is really a huge question mark.

Among them, "Postman" and "Death Row Walk", which won five nominations respectively, are undoubtedly the biggest highlights.

As an Italian work, "Postman" has not received enough attention before this, and even did not get a nomination at the Golden Globe Awards, but it was nominated for five important awards at the Oscars, including Best Foreign Language Film, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Drama Score.

Before that, it has received a lot of attention "Death Row Walk" is one step closer, Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Original Song and other five most important nominations, so that its competitiveness is directly off the table, although the overall momentum is not as good as "Braveheart" and "Apollo 13", especially missing the nomination for the best adapted screenplay is very embarrassing, but it is still one of the strong contenders.

In addition, the "Far from the Casino" table, which is known as the rival of "Death Row Prisoner Walking", is absolutely strong, and the four nominations for Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay are full of weight, and especially in the actor and actress departments, the sparkling duel of these two works has attracted everyone's attention, compared to "Braveheart" and "Apollo 13", the competition between these two works in the acting department is the most fierce.

In addition to this, the "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Before Sunrise" have also received corresponding recognition.

In addition to Best Supporting Actor, "Seven Deadly Sins" also won three nominations, including Best Cinematography, Best Sound, and Best Film Editing, with a total of four nominations, which is on par with "Far from the Casino", and the table is not inferior; "Before Sunrise" won the all-important Best Actress and Best Original Screenplay, as well as nominations for Best Musical Comedy Score, and three nominations are still a good result - especially for a work that was released early in January last year and has not yet been forgotten by critics.

Hugo's three works starred in this year handed over twelve nominations, from the box office to word-of-mouth to awards, ushered in a full-scale explosion, no matter what Hugo will achieve at the Oscars, there is no doubt that this year will be Hugo's peak year.

The Oscars gave a very different answer from the Golden Globes in the nomination stage, which made the Hollywood Foreign Press Association lose face, but this is just a nomination, and the attribution of the award is still an unknown.

This question mark makes people wait and see.
