Ellen DeGeneres broke the dimensional wall with unparalleled affinity, injected more energy into tonight's awards ceremony, and relieved the tension of the award presentation process to some extent; but... It can only be relieved, In the final analysis, this is still an annual awards ceremony, and the announcement of the results of each award will inevitably involve the minds of some guests, even the technical awards are no exception.
In the past 90 minutes, various technical awards have been awarded one after another, and they have found their own owners.
"Gravity", which showed a strong dominance in the nomination stage, is undoubtedly the leader in the technical department. It has become the fifth work in history to win nominations in all seven film production-related technical departments. This is also the winning chip for the head-to-head confrontation between "Gravity", "12 Years a Slave" and "American Hustle".
Of the other nine nominees for best picture, only "Captain Phillips" can compete in the relevant technical department, but the momentum is far from comparable, which also means that if "Gravity" cannot win in the technical department The recognition of more awards, then tonight may officially withdraw from the competition for the best picture.
In other words, when the entire audience was immersed in the brief relaxation of Allen-style interaction, when social networks were boiling because of live broadcast interactions, the battle for the best picture had actually quietly ignited the war.
In the opening stage, the awards awarded immediately after the Best Supporting Actor are the Best Costume Design Award and the Best Makeup and Hairstyling Award. In the competition in these two categories, "Gravity" was not able to win the nomination, the film's Minimalism obviously doesn't have much to do with either award.
It can be seen from the academy's arrangement of the awarding order that they are careful. They are also aware of the direct or indirect effect of technical awards on the trend of the best film, so the award department that "Gravity" did not win the nominations took the lead. Now, quietly save up the suspense.
Among the best costume design awards, "The Great Gatsby" is undoubtedly the biggest hit of the awards season, and finally at the Oscars, it also successfully defeated "The Grandmaster", "12 Years a Slave", "American Hustle" Waiting for competitors to win the "American Hustle", which was previously thought to be expected to challenge "The Great Gatsby", regrettably lost.
Among the Best Makeup and Styling Awards, this year's competition was noticeably weaker, with only three entries shortlisted for nominations, namely "The Lone Ranger", "Stupid/Egg 4: Bad Grandfather" and "Dallas Buyers Club". The results of the awards did not appear unpopular, and the "Dallas Buyers Club" successfully won the second Golden Man trophy tonight.
The two technical awards took the lead in finding their own owners. After the warm-up, the technical department finally entered the topic. The best visual effects award, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Emma Watson as the presenters, was announced. Prize Results
The "Gravity" team won the first Golden Man trophy tonight. After the team led by Chris Lawrence completed their acceptance speech, they also met Renly backstage who finished the performance. Friendly meeting.
For the uninitiated, it seems natural and logical for "Gravity" to win awards in the technical department. As a "visual effects blockbuster" in this year's awards season, the advantages of "Gravity" are indeed very obvious. But the competition for the best visual effects award is far more intense than imagined, and just ask the insider's opinion.
"The Hobbit 2", "Iron Man 3", "Star Trek: Darkness" and "The Lone Ranger", four commercial blockbusters made it to the final list of Oscar nominees for best visual effects.
In fact, for commercial popcorn works, computer special effects are precisely their housekeeping skills, such as "Inception", "Pirates of the Caribbean: Gathering Souls", "King Kong", "Spider-Man 2", "Avatar", etc. The works have successively won the Oscar for best visual effects statues; not only that, but also in other related production technology departments, they are often able to break out super combat effectiveness.

Last year, "The Fantastic Drifting of Pi", which made further breakthroughs in 3D technology, brought a feast of visual effects to the audience, which won it the Oscar for Best Visual Effects; this year, 3D immersive viewing "Gravity", which brought a revolutionary/life/sex breakthrough at the experience level, successfully defeated the strong opponent "The Hobbit 2", which presented the screen image of the giant dragon Smaug with motion capture technology, which was also a major breakthrough of the year. one.
The side once again proved a fact: the technical breakthrough of "Gravity" has really won the recognition of the industry.
So far, the winning of the Best Visual Effects Award officially sounded the horn of "Gravity" sweeping the technical department tonight.
The Best Sound Editing Award, "Gravity" and "Captain Phillips" have a head-to-head confrontation. The two works are very skilled in the use of different editing of sound effects, and sound has become an important part of the narrative, which is also " "Captain Phillips" is one of the most threatening awards in the technical department, but in the end, "Gravity" is even better and won!
Best sound effects, "Gravity" faces siege from "Captain Phillips", "Lone Survivor", "Drunken Country Ballad" and "The Hobbit 2", the most threatening of which is not "Philips" "Captain Si", but the "Drunken Country Folk Song", which perfectly presented the unique texture of the era with live radio, which is also one of the two nominations for its technical awards.
However, the two works starring Renly went into a head-to-head confrontation. In the end, "Gravity" stood out and took off the third Golden Man trophy tonight. The best photography award, the two works once again launched a strong duel.
"Gravity," "Nebraska," "Prisoner," "The Grandmaster," "Drunken Country Ballad."
The photography styles of the five works are different and have their own characteristics:
Among them, the majestic and soul-stirring photography of "Gravity" has won praise and is undoubtedly one of the most important components of the whole work. This is already Emmanuel Lubezki's sixth Oscar nomination. , he has lost all five times before, and he has also become the uncrowned king of the photography industry.
The retro texture and delicate and moving photography of "Drunken Country Ballad" is also a major discovery this year. The use of light and the movement of the lens allow the audience to enter that era smoothly. Bruno Del Bonnell is also nominated for the fourth Oscar. Now, the previous three times have all returned empty-handed. This European photographer is also the favorite of countless industry peers.
Is that all there is to it
Of course not only! And Roger Deakins.
This is the real uncrowned king of world cinema! Beginning with "The Shawshank Redemption" in 1994, Roger Deakins has won a total of ten Oscar nominations in the past two decades, and this year's "Prisoner" is his eleventh, but he has always been Bad luck, encounter stronger opponents every year, and still have not been able to harvest a golden man.
When it comes to Oscar's tragic characters, he will never be missed.
In this year's technology sector, the competition for the Best Photography Award can definitely be among the top three, or even the top one. It is even one of the most difficult moments to choose in the past five years. Choosing any one means You will miss out on other great photographers and you will regret it.
But... this is the award ceremony, nomination is strength, winning is luck, in the end there needs to be a winner, this is the rules of the game.
"Emmanuel Lubezki, 'Gravity'." When presenters Amy Adams and Bill Murray announced the final winners, the audience spontaneously stood up for the first Emmanuel Lubezki, who won six nominations, was also named Roger Deakins and Bruno Del Bonnell again.
Unconsciously, "Gravity" has won four consecutive technical divisions, leading tonight's Oscars with absolute strength, which also officially announced that tonight's best picture competition has been confirmed. "Gravity", which was completely ignored in the opening stage, still showed the super dominance of the technical department, and officially joined the ranks of "American Scam" and "Twelve Years a Slave" in the second stage of the college's public relations. The troika that formed the first group.
The Best Art Direction Award, which was subsequently announced, revealed an unpopular one that was not unpopular.
"The Great Gatsby" beat four best-picture nominees including "Her," "12 Years a Slave," "American Hustle," and "Gravity" to win tonight's second statuette.
This result can be said to be unexpected but reasonable.
Although "The Great Gatsby" has a polarizing reputation, the work has won praise in the industry for its excellent performance in art direction and costume styling.
Compared with the academy public relations for major awards such as the acting department, the director department, and the screenwriting department, the influence of the technical department is significantly weaker, and it is more of a head-to-head competition of strength. Therefore, after the Best Costume Design Award, the Best Art Direction Award was also awarded to the "Great Gatsby" team, which is the best affirmation of the work of the crew.
But the reason for the title of "Unpopular" is that the first is because the sweeping momentum of "Gravity" was suddenly curbed, which was somewhat unexpected; the second is because the other four competing works are all Best Picture nominees, and the competition is too much Intense, among them, the "American scam" in the second stage is a powerful sniper.
With the winning streak of "Gravity" and "American Hustle" unexpectedly losing to "The Great Gatsby" twice in a row in the technical department, the trend of best picture has undergone a subtle change. Although it is said that the main competitiveness of "American Hustle" is still in the acting and script departments, and the technical department is only a flower arrangement, but after the full force of the second stage of the awards season, the trend of tonight's awards ceremony is significantly lower than expected, which is very interesting. .
