In the best actress department, Jennifer Aniston of "Cake" fell behind at the last moment, and Marion Cotillard of "Two Days and One Night" counterattacked.
Needless to say, this is one of the biggest upsets on the Oscar nomination list, and Jennifer Aniston, who has been perfect in Academy PR throughout the awards season, has won consecutive Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild nominations, and almost everyone thinks her Oscar Nominations will be a foregone conclusion; but ultimately it falls.
What is even more worthy of discussion is that "Two Days and One Night" is a French-language film. It is relatively difficult to compete for the best and the best by virtue of foreign language performances. This was the case with Max Mickelson's "hunting" back then; at the same time, Marion - Cotillard actually didn't participate much in the academy's public relations this year. After the film was screened in Cannes, there was not much follow-up. The major direction indicators of the awards season ignored this work, but it was completed at the last minute.
In fact, dark horses appear on the Oscar nomination list every three or five years. That is, works that almost no one noticed during the awards season came out. 2012's "Southern Beast", 2008's "Uninvited Guest", 2004's "Happy Maria", 2000 "Before Night Falls" in 2009, "The Postman" in 1995... and so on, especially in the performance department of the male and female protagonists, it seems that there is no college public relations and no publicity channels, just relying on excellent strength. , without warning, counterattacked the upper position, making the second monk puzzled.
Including the "detachment" in 2012, it also belongs to a similar situation.
The frequent occurrence of such a situation also raises an illusion: outside of the academy's public relations, works with outstanding strength can still be recognized.
In the final analysis, the academy judges also understand that the so-called "academy public relations" is a competition of soft power, which is not directly related to strength. Become a "PR game," or even an exchange of interests. Obviously, this is not the original intention of the awards ceremony, and the Oscars do not want to be the Golden Globes; deep down, they still hope to recognize those truly powerful actors, so that the entire film industry can continue to operate, and the authority of the Oscars can continue to be maintained. go down.
Of course, it's not that Jennifer Aniston of "Cake" is not good enough, but it's like Matthew McConaughey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, etc." "Idol" actors, the academy is always more demanding, often refusing to recognize their efforts at critical moments. The same is true of Aniston now. Quietly, many judges cast their votes for Marion who is "two days and one night".
There may even be more people voting for Marion than expected. Then, the accident happened.
Although Marion did not appear frequently in the academy's public relations, the French distribution company of "Two Days and One Night" has always been proactive in promoting the work, which also created the surprise of the final nomination list.
So, does the same thing apply to Renly
At least, a similar situation happened in the best actor department - a dark horse appeared, but instead of a dark horse like Marion, another SAG nominee was left behind.
Best Actor: Eddie Redmayne for The Theory of Everything, Michael Keaton for Birdman, Renly Hall for Burst, Jake Gyllenhaal for Nightcrawler , forming a solid first group; another seat belongs to Bradley Cooper of "American Sniper", who constitute the final lineup of the best actor competition.
Take a breath!
A real breath of fresh air!
Among the nominations for the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the last seat is Benedict Cumberbatch, who belongs to the "imitation game", and the choice is replaced by Bradley Cooper counterattack, which is undoubtedly an Oscar list. The biggest upset among them completely changed the entire competition pattern for the best actor.
Not Joaquin Phoenix from 'Inherently Evil', David Oyelow from 'Selma Parade', Bill Murray from 'Saint Vincent', not Ralph from 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' - Fiennes, but Bradley Cooper, who had never won any Outpost nominations before!
Judging from the situation of the outpost, the nomination seats for the British Academy Awards, the Golden Globe Awards, the Screen Actors Guild Awards and other film critics' associations are relatively clear. Lenhal's performance of "Nightcrawler" has firmly occupied a place, which has also become the biggest surprise of this year's Oscars; but there are always doubts about the remaining seat.
People can expect that someone will be left behind in the end, but they did not expect Bradley to be in the position at the last moment!
Everyone was talking about Renly being nominated for the Best Actor Oscar four years in a row at such a young age, and then complaining that Renly was the "favorite of the academy", but now people realize that Bradley is the A true "Academy darling" - "The Line of Happiness Behind the Dark Cloud", "American Hustle", "American Sniper", he also unknowingly won an Oscar nomination three years in a row.
The point is that Bradley's acting skills never seem to have been really proven. Among the three works, his performance is not the most outstanding and the most outstanding, but he is constantly climbing due to the popularity of the awards season of the work itself. , The nomination that others can't win in their entire life, but Bradley easily completed the "three consecutive"
This... what the hell is going on here
If Renly needs to be "questioned", should Bradley be scolded or even cursed
The social network gave their response, all the doubts swarmed towards Bradley, there were condemnations, complaints and dissatisfaction, and a few voices were Jake Gyllenhaal and Renly Hall. It's a shame—they've been so terribly well-received for so many times that Bradley has been nominated three years in a row; not to mention, isn't Benedict Cumberbatch worthy of a nomination
The controversy surrounding Bradley's nomination was so buzzing and bustling that the other nominees were temporarily ignored.
Renly made history by being nominated for Best Actor for five consecutive years, surpassing Marlon Brando and Al Pacino, becoming a unique existence in film history, and the young Renly was only twenty-five years old. , even people who have long been numb, have to marvel at the brilliance of Renly.
In fact, Bradley Cooper is innocent. He is just conscientiously completing his performance, and then conscientiously participating in the academy's public relations, looking forward to opening up a situation for his career. His affinity, humor, forthrightness, Loyalty and other qualities have indeed made him have more powerful contacts; for the work of "American Sniper", as a producer, he paid more hard work, and now he is rewarded with hard work, which has also become his role in Hollywood. A turning point that completely changed the situation at the top of the pyramid, and only later came the success of "A Star Is Born".
Purely in terms of actor power, Bradley can now be compared to Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, George Clooney, etc., compared to Renly, who is not social and public relations. That said, it may be slightly better. After all, business still needs to be negotiated through cooperation.
The reason why the social network treats Bradley so harshly, even inhumane, is more of a grievance for other nominees and other losers.
Perhaps, there is also a hint of jealousy deep inside.
In this nomination list, Jake Gyllenhaal of "Nightcrawler" can be said to have finally made it out. Since he won the Best Supporting Actor nomination for "Brokeback Mountain" in 2005, he has been "into the cold palace" by the academy On the one hand, because of the controversial subject of "Brokeback Mountain", on the other hand, because the young and handsome Jack is also considered to be an "idol niche", no matter how hard he works and how he performs, the academy judges always ignore his breakthrough in performance.
This year's "Nightcrawler" allowed people to really see a completely different Jake Gyllenhaal. His reborn and obsessive performance received unanimous praise; but when it came to the Oscar stage, this sincere actor still did not Being able to get too much support, the academy judges are still punishing him for the choice of the year, which also casts a shadow over Jack's Oscar prospects.
Just like Jennifer Aniston.
Although Jack has been nominated for the British Academy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards and other important towns, the Oscar nomination must still be marked with a question mark.
In the end, Jack was able to be nominated for the top five, which can be said to have caused a lot of admiration and applause, and many people were even more excited than Jack himself.
In fact, according to industry rumors in the academy, Jake Gyllenhaal almost lost to Benedict Cumberbatch, and the final vote gap was very, very narrow. In a word, it is not Bradley who replaces Benedict, but Jack.
In other words, Bradley was still easily shortlisted in the academy voting when many important towns were completely ignored and no nominations were seen; while Jack swept the nominations of other important awards ceremony, with a strong momentum, but those The pedantic academy judges continue to pick and choose not to approve.
"Fairy Wood"
This makes people laugh and cry, but also makes people out of anger.
It's a little surprising that in the end, it wasn't Sony Classics that really turned things around, it was Sisyphus Pictures, and Andre Hamilton played a pivotal role, and he knew how to deal with the stubborn old guy. It has also become the key to dealing with them.
In any case, Jake Gyllenhaal has finally won his second Oscar nomination of his career, which is a welcome feat.
On the one hand, people cheered for Jack's breakthrough and applauded for Renly's creative history; but on the other hand, behind Bradley, there are many outstanding actors who have been ignored and ignored, which is undoubtedly a big deal. Pity.
