Chapter 71: Oscar nomination for egg pain

The Oscar-winning statuette, officially known as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards. Founded in 1928. Founded by Louis Meyer, the managing director of MGM, known as the "King of Hollywood", the world-famous film festival was initially aimed at "improving the quality of film art and science, developing culture, education and the arts, strengthening the writing of various departments, recognizing the improvement of technical methods and equipment that have significantly contributed to technological research, listening to the promotion of people in the film industry, and promoting the educational activities of the public and film companies."

Meyer's idea is a bit suspicious of the memorial arch, but later, the Oscars have indeed become a powerful impetus to promote the development of Hollywood films and even affect the development of world films.

Since the first Oscars were officially launched in 1929, once a year in Los Angeles without any interruption, all films that were staged from January 1 to December 31 of the previous year can participate in the selection, and the selection has this set of strict processes, which is basically fair.

After more than ten years of development, by 1940, the Oscar was no longer the Oscar of the year. Not to mention that the setting of the major awards has obvious improvements and differences from the original, just in terms of influence, it has become a collective party for the entire American film, and it is the supreme honor of a filmmaker to be able to win a little golden man trophy.

Therefore, for this award, filmmakers are gearing up every year, and the audience is also looking forward to it.

Looking at this list, Victor's heart was surging.

"Uncle John, where did this list come from?" Victor asked.

"Stolen from Grant." John Ford was a shameless old man.

Come to think of it, such a list is top secret, how could it fall into the hands of John Ford.

"No, it's only November, why is the list out?" Victor Road.

John Ford looked at Victor with disdain: "You stupid! This is the Oscars, not a small bazaar, why do you think movies can be on it? Although there is still a month to go, at present, all the major Hollywood film companies have released all the movies that are a little level, so the jury also acted early. This list, there will be no problems. ”

Victor couldn't hear John Ford anymore, his eyes fixed on the paper.

Because, in this piece of paper, there is "This Killer is Not Too Cold".

The list of nominees for the 13th Academy Awards includes Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Original Story, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography (Color), Best Cinematography (Black & White), Best Art Direction/Prop Set (Color), Best Art Direction/Prop Set (Black & White), Best Sound Recording, Best Film Editing, Best Stunt, Best Original Song, Best Original Score, Best Soundtrack, Best Short Film (2 books) , Best Short Film (1 book), Best Animated Short Film.

Compared to later generations, these awards are simply cumbersome.

Since the invention of color film in 1940 had not been rolled out for many years, there was a parallel state of black and white and color films, so the best photography was divided into color, black and white, and the set was also divided into color black and white. Best Screenplay, Best Original Story, Best Original Screenplay, these three awards look like a pain in the ass.

As for what is the best short film, one or two, it refers to the length of the shooting, whether it is a roll of film or two rolls of film.

With so many awards, and several movie nominations under each award, it's just fucking a mess of flowers that are getting more and more charming.

Victor looked down with his eyes wide open.

First up is Best Picture.

This award is the most important of all the Oscar awards. Being able to win this award basically shows that this movie was the best movie in Hollywood that year.

This year's nominations are really a big crowd.

Best Picture Nomination -

"The Grapes of Wrath," 20th Century Fox

"The Great Dictator" United States Company

"The Philadelphia Story" by MGM Pictures

"Overseas Correspondent" Warner Bros. Pictures

"Long Live the Woman" Paramount Pictures

"The End of the World" Universal Pictures

"Butterfly Dreams" by Selznick Company

Victor was disappointed to see that there was no name of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" on it, and apparently, the jury was still on the side of the crowd, believing that the film did not reach the level of being nominated.

Of these films, "The Philadelphia Story" caught Victor's special attention. Because this movie is extremely bullish in film history, the story is a love story, but the people involved are all superstars, Katharine Hepburn, Gary Grant, James Stewart, and the three major Hollywood superstars are all together. Only MGM has such a good hand!

Next, the Best Actor nomination -

James Stewart, The Philadelphia Story

Charles Chaplin, The Great Dictator

Henry Fonda "Grapes of Wrath / Flowers of Fury"

Raymond Macy, Lincoln, Illinois

Lawrence Oliver "Butterfly Dream / Rebecca"

Gregory Peck "This Killer Is Not Too Cold"

Victor laughed.

Best Actor is also a bull fork award, the first movie can be shortlisted, even if it is not awarded, it is an honor. However, look at these people above, in addition to Messi is a second-rate star, Stewart, Chaplin, Henry Fonda , Oliver, are all fucking the most popular male stars in Hollywood today, Pike is under a lot of pressure and has little hope.

Best Actress Nomination -

Genji Rogers, Long Live the Woman

Betty Davis "Tears on a Sticky Note"

Joan Fontaine "Butterfly Dream / Rebecca"

Katharine Hepburn, The Philadelphia Story

Martha Scott, "Our Town"

are all Hollywood superstars.

"My little Monroe is gone." Victor shook his head and comforted himself: Monroe is still young, and there are opportunities.

Best Supporting Actor Nomination -

Walter Brennan, "The Westerners"

Albert Batherman, "The Overseas Correspondent"

William Gargaon, "Knowing the Other"

Jack Okai "The Great Dictator"

James Stephenson's "Tears of Incense"

John Ford, "This Killer Is Not Too Cold"

"It's true that the east is not bright and the west is bright, Uncle John, you have picked up my light this time!" Victor was upset. If possible, he would rather swap out this nomination and let Monroe get a nomination for Best Actress.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm cool this time! First fucking show nomination! John Ford triumphant.

Best Supporting Actress Nomination -

Jane Darvel, The Grapes of Wrath

Judith Anderson "Butterfly Dream/Rebecca"

Ruth Josse, The Philadelphia Story

Barbara O'Neill, "Obey Your Orders"

And then, Victor's eyes widened.

Damn, this is my most coveted nomination! Victor cried out from the bottom of his heart: "Virgin Mary, bless my name to be here!" ”
