After the Oscar nominations for Best Actor are released, the most regrettable and most embarrassing is undoubtedly Tom Hanks.
This year, with the two works of "Captain Phillips" and "The Big Dreamer", Tom Hanks' hopes of winning another Oscar nomination since 2000 have been rekindled, especially the former, Tom's superb and outstanding acting skills, male The delicate performance of the protagonist's final salvation moment is enough to be included in the top ten in 2013.
To this end, Tom is also actively running. He can be seen active throughout the awards season. After winning many outpost nominations, he successfully entered the list of Best Actor nominations for the Screen Actors Guild Awards, all of which foreshadowed With that, Tom is about to win another Oscar nomination after thirteen years.
"The Age of Rebirth"
But... the last moment passed by.
Many outsiders generally believe that Renly squeezed out Tom and Leonardo to win the nomination, but the specific facts are far more complicated.
Here's a side-note to SAG nominees, Matthew McConaughey of "Dallas Buyers Club," Bruce Dern of "Nebraska," Renly of "Gravity"— Hall, Tom Hanks of Captain Phillips and Forest Whitaker of The White House Butler rounded out the final five.
It can be seen simply and straightforwardly that Tom Hanks and Forest Whitaker are both well-known and acclaimed veteran actors among their peers. With the effective promotion of the academy's public relations, the nominations are also within reach.
However, after entering the Oscar nomination stage and expanding the base of voter numbers, their advantages were gradually eroded and weakened, and finally replaced by "12 Years a Slave" and "American Hoax" with stronger overall works and better academy public relations. The location and the side also confirmed once again the true meaning of the Oscar game. This is a comprehensive awards ceremony, and the overall advantages of the work are above the individual's own strength.
In other words, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Christian Bale teamed up to squeeze out Tom Hanks, Forest Whitaker and, as for Leonardo DiCaprio, because "Wall Street" "Wolf" attribute, he is always in the position of the chaser.
In addition, we can also see the strong appeal of Renly among the actors. Although the trend of public opinion throughout the awards season seems to be unfavorable for Renly, in the voting process, the actors still give priority to Renly. The young actor has conquered countless colleagues and established his own prestige and reputation through his solid performance.
After the Oscar nominations were released, the actors and colleagues in the entire industry all complained about Tom, but Tom, who was the party, quickly cleaned up his mood and turned around to appease his colleagues. There will be better opportunities next year.”
In fact, the helpless person is more than Tom
Even if Renly won the nomination, industry insiders still mourned Renly.
"Drunken Township Folk Song" was left behind, and "Gravity" took the lead.
This also directly proves the previous guesses and thoughts of people in the industry. "Drunken Country Ballads" are too self-indulgent and too unique. After all, the academic old school who represents the West Coast art system still can't like it, even if the movie has created a miracle in the box office market. , but the Oscars and Golden Globes are still stingy with honoring this year's masterpiece.
In fact, in the 2013 annual top ten selection, "Variety", "Cinema Manual", "The Hollywood Reporter", "Village Voice", "New York Times", "Empire" and "Los Angeles Times" and other authoritative media All the top ten titles of the year were awarded to the Coen Brothers' "Drunken Town Folk Song", and the overall momentum has far exceeded that of "Nowhere for the Old".
More importantly, Renly's performance in "Drunken Country Ballads" is delicate and profound, with a profound aftertaste. Countless media consider it the best performance of 2013, even surpassing that of "Dallas Buyers Club"'s Matthew McNair. Connor, Tom Hanks of "Captain Phillips" and Renly Hall himself in "Gravity" conquered the most critical and demanding critics with absolute prowess.
But...the Oscar nomination went to "Gravity" after all.
Although it is not to say that it is a sigh or a sigh, it is still somewhat helpless and powerless. Even if it is an actor of Renly's level, even if it joins forces with the Coen Brothers, even if it creates a miracle at the box office, "Drunk Town Ballad" still can't get the corresponding Treatment, still can not get rid of the restraint and restraint of the golden man tights.
It was against such a background that the hope of Renly's second best actor was instantly ignited, and it began to spread at an unprecedented speed.
Regardless, Renly won the nomination for the fourth time in a row, and managed to continue the momentum in a record-setting 2013.
Beyond Renly, the Oscar nominees clearly have a lot more to scrutinize.
First up is Best Picture.
"12 Years a Slave", "American Hustle" and "Gravity", the three hits of the first group, led the way, without any suspense, entering the final battle stage, and they will also be the most powerful for this year's best picture Oscar competitor.
The main force of the second group "Captain Phillips", "Philomena", "She" and "Nebraska" also passed the small test and successfully won the nomination, continuing the overall situation of the awards ceremony A spot in the eye-catching lineup.
The three works of "Dallas Buyers Club", "Wolf of Wall Street" and "Drunken Country Ballad" made strong efforts in the sprint stage, completed the counterattack with an incredible attitude, and entered the nomination list, which is definitely a surprise of the year, but The way and content of the surprise is slightly different.
The surprise of "Dallas Buyers Club" came from the regret of the completion of the work. The shortcomings of the performance being stronger than the work restricted the prospects of this work in the awards season. I didn't expect it to be able to counterattack.
The surprise of "The Wolf of Wall Street" came from the controversy. In all respects, this is a sensitive/sensitive work that was abandoned by the academy judges, but Paramount Pictures finally completed this work through the academy public relations. An incredible journey and a strong finish to the finals.
The surprise of "Drunk Town Folk Ballad" comes from the radiance after the silence. Everyone knows that the academy is not interested in this work, but those artists who are really immersed in artistic creation are in love with this work, and they are all looking forward to the work. Obtain corresponding affirmation and praise.
Ten works before and after won the best picture nomination, "Fast Wind/Flow", "The White House Butler", "August: Osage County", "Blue Jasmine" and "The Big Dreamer" and other works have fallen behind ; Among them, "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "Drunk Town Ballad" are undoubtedly the biggest surprises. With this alone, the six thousand judges of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences can proudly hold their chests and raise their eyebrows for their correct choice.
Next is best director.
Steve McQueen from 12 Years a Slave, David O Russell from American Hustle, Alfonso Cuaron from Gravity, Nebraska Alexander Payne and The Wolf of Wall Street's Martin Scorsese were among the final five nominees.
Among them, the biggest surprise was not Martin Scorsese's nomination, but Alexander Payne beating "Captain Phillips" Paul Greengrass to the nomination list, who won the Directors Guild of America Award nomination, but lost Give Alexander and lose the Oscar nomination.
The works of the five best director nominees have all been shortlisted for the best picture competition. If nothing else, the best picture winner will be born from these five works. This is in line with the prediction of the Golden Globe Award winners list. The trend coincides, once again highlighting the overall advantages of the first group.
Actor awards again.
Best actor is clear, and the competition in the other three divisions is no less.
Best Actress, Cate Blanchett for "Blue Jasmine," Amy Adams for "American Hustle," Sandra Bullock for "Big Dreamers," "August: Osage County" Meryl Streep and Philomena's Judi Dench have become this year's seeded contestants.
Clearly, Cate Blanchett and Amy Adams are going to have a final fight.
Best Supporting Actor, Jared Leto for "Dallas Buyers Club", Michael Fassbender for "12 Years a Slave", Jonah Hill for "The Wolf of Wall Street", "American Hustle" Bradley Cooper, "Captain Phillips" Bahad Abdi, this is the final five players.
Among them, Jonah Hill's nomination is considered by numerous experts to be "laying up", he defeated the well-received Daniel Bruch in "Extreme Wind/Flow", but in fact, his performance is not much brilliant At best, it can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. In the end, relying on the counterattack momentum of the "Wolf of Wall Street" in the sprint stage, he borrowed the light of Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese and succeeded. Win a nomination.
On the whole, Jared Leto, Michael Fassbender, and Bradley Cooper will start the final bayonet fight.
Best Supporting Actress, Lupita Nyong'o for "12 Years a Slave," Jennifer Lawrence for "American Hustle," Julia Roberts for "August: Osage County," "Gravity" "Rooney Mara" and Carey Mulligan of "Drunken Country Ballads" earned the final nominations.
This list is enough to make everyone in the industry excited. Except for Julia Roberts, the other four nominees are all new-generation actors. This is a rare event in recent years. The rise of generation Y It has undoubtedly become the mainstream trend of the entire film market, which is gratifying.
Purely in terms of strength, Julia Roberts is unbeatable, but so far the trend of the awards season has been focused on Jennifer Lawrence and Lupita Nyong'o, and Rooney Mara. And Carey Mulligan counterattack in the final stage to win the nomination is a surprise.
The award will also be the most suspenseful among the four major acting departments.
In addition to the major awards, browsing the entire nomination list by works can also find many highlights worthy of detailed discussion.
