When the rising tide of the new generation meets the complacent, conservative and stubborn academies, what will happen
Since the Toronto Film Festival, the media has been hyping the topic of "Generation Y" actors ushering in their heyday, and a large number of new generation actors have indeed emerged this year, which makes people full of expectations for the nomination list. But it turns out: it's going to be tough.
The massive heat wave was like encountering the Siberian cold wind. All the restlessness, excitement and excitement calmed down silently. Although it was not completely discouraged, disappointment was inevitable.
The first is the supporting roles that have changed relatively little.
Best Supporting Actress, Melissa-Leo and Amy Adams for "The Fighter," Helena Bonham-Carter for "The King's Speech," Jackie Way for "Animal Kingdom" Fever, has undoubtedly continued the momentum of the awards season and received nominations.
The only exception is that "Black Swan" Mila Kunis, even if she won a special award at the Venice Film Festival, still failed to win the favor of the Academy. In its place was "Ground Thunder" Hailee-Steinfeld, who, at just fourteen years old, was a stunning blockbuster.
Best Supporting Actor nominees include Christian Bale for The Fighter, Geoffrey-Rush for The King's Speech, and Jeremy-Rush for The Town Thief. Renner won the nomination, while Mark Ruffalo of "The Kids Are All Well" and John-Hawkes of "Winter's Bones" managed to break out of the siege on their own merits.
Andrew Garfield, the only "Generation Y" actor who had the strength to nominate before, even with the blessing of "social network", was still not nominated for the nomination, which caused a lot of regret.

The second is the protagonist department that gathers thousands of pets.
Relatively speaking, there are disappointments and surprises in the Best Actress department.
Disappointing that actresses such as Anne Hathaway, Emma Stone, Julianne Moore are all left behind, the difficulty of winning nominations for comedy works is prohibitive; and the rise of the new generation has suffered a severe blow—
Facts have proved that even though the average age of the winners is relatively young, and the average value over the years has been stable at around 37 years old, it is still an insurmountable mountain for young people.
Surprisingly, 20-year-old Jennifer Lawrence earned her first Oscar nomination in her career for her wonderful performance in "Winter's Bone", and Michelle Williams also followed "Brokeback Mountain". "After that, he received his second Oscar nomination.
In addition to the two young people, Nicole Kidman won the nomination again after eight years with "Rabbit Hole", and Annette Bening relied on "The Children Are All Well" to hit the Oscars for the fourth time. . These are all things to look forward to.
The last nomination seat went to Natalie Portman.
Although the reputation and word-of-mouth have suffered a severe blow through the storm of the double door, the outstanding performance in "Black Swan" still won Natalie the ticket to the golden statue.
If she can successfully win the award, then Natalie will become the first actor in the "Generation Y" to receive a golden statuette. This feat has also become one of the important highlights of this year's Oscars. However, Natalie, who was fierce before this, was trapped in the quagmire because of the entanglement of the substitute door, and now the overall momentum is not clear.
Annette is undoubtedly the strongest challenger—she's one of the Academy's favorite actresses, her husband Warren Beatty is one of the Academy's most powerful members, and she's the most embarrassing widow in Oscar history. One of the pearls, she is also one of the most hard-working actors in Hollywood, and she is also one of the expressionist representatives with solid basic skills.
I missed it three times before, and every time it made people sigh, should I let Annette miss it for the fourth time
An upward momentum, a downward momentum, staggered, the outcome is unpredictable. Above the Oscars this year, the battle for the best actress is bound to have a lot of competition, which is really exciting.
If the Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Actress are all calm with some minor surprises, but the overall pattern continues the usual trend of the awards season, then the Best Actor can definitely be It can be called the earth is shaking, and it can even be called unpopular.
Of the five nominees, Colin Firth of The King's Speech and Jesse Eisenberg of The Social Network continued the awards season's dominance and made a near miss. nominated seat.
This is the first Oscar nomination for Jesse, who is only 27 years old. This actor who has always been active in the field of independent films and has distinctive characteristics has finally entered the public eye with the work "Social Network". is the best sure.
As for Colin, this is the second year in a row to be nominated for Best Actor. Last year's "Single Man" was well-received, and he had a good momentum in the outpost, but lost to Jeff Bridges in the final stage. , which makes many people feel sorry. It's making a comeback this year, and once again, he'll be pitted against Jeff.
With his old-fashioned performance of "Thunderbolt", Jeff also entered the finals of the best actor for the second consecutive year.
However, just like the birth of "Thunderbolt", Jeff was almost completely wiped out in the previous outpost. He was able to defeat a group of competitors and win the nomination in the final sprint stage. Glasses.
It's not that Jeff is not good enough, it's just that he just reached the top with "Crazy Heart" last year, and the 30-year credit vote has begun to fall. The performance in the show did not break the routine. It was really good, but it was hard to say that it was a surprise, let alone a breakthrough.
Compared with this year's bayonet competition, Jeff's shortlist can only make everyone feel a pity for the other unsuccessful actors.
The competitive landscape suddenly became tense as Jeff swooped in and an upset took a nomination seat, but what was even more staggering was that Javier-Bardem broke out the No. Two unpopular.
The Spanish actor has been very successful in Hollywood. In 2000, when he was still a nobody, he relied on "Before Night Falls" to get his first Oscar nomination. In 2007, he relied on "No Country for Old Men". He won the Best Supporting Actor Award. This year, his wonderful performance in "A Beautiful Mistake" was once again recognized by the Academy and nominated for an Oscar for the third time.
The reason why it is said to be unpopular is because, on the one hand, in the competition of "Beautiful Mistakes" in the previous awards season, it was mainly concentrated in the best foreign language film department; There are only a handful of actors who have made it to the nomination stage with their foreign language acting skills - "Beautiful Mistakes" is a Spanish-language performance.
But I didn't expect that Javier was nominated, and this year's competition among the new generation of actors is so fierce. This is really... shocking, even speechless.
As a result, there is only one nominated seat.
The already fierce competition is now even more intense. Even Leonardo DiCaprio, who contributed two masterpieces of "Inception" and "Shutter Island", has not been able to receive preferential treatment, which is really impressive. Can't laugh or cry.
In the end, after Colin Firth, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeff Bridges, and Javier Bardem, Renly Hall became the last of the five nominations for Best Actor. !
Renly-Hall! Renly-Hall! Renly-Hall!
Relying on the superb performance of "Buried Alive", Renly defeated his direct opponent, James Franco of "127 Hours", and was nominated for the 83rd Academy Award for Best Actor in the duel. stage, and received the first Oscar nomination of Renly's career!
Renly, who is only 21 years old, has overcome a series of unfavorable conditions, especially James, who has been bullish before, and won the nomination. This is definitely the biggest highlight of this year's Oscar nomination list!
Before the Oscar nominations were announced, James led the way with the overall advantage of "127 hours", pressing Renly to the death. ABC TV, which is responsible for broadcasting the Oscars, is also more optimistic about James' Oscar prospects, so it boldly chose James and joined Anne Hathaway as this year's Oscar host.
This unexpected choice is not only the choice of ABC TV to cater to young viewers, but also a microcosm of the strong rise of "Generation Y" this year.
"127 Hours" and "Buried Alive" are two works with similar styles, similar themes, similar genres, and similar focuses. In the head-to-head confrontation, the former has the absolute upper hand.
Among the Oscar nominations, "127 Hours" received a total of five nominations, while "Buried Alive" only received one nomination.
By the way, "Buried Alive" was out in the most promising Best Original Screenplay and Best Film Editing Awards.
Especially for the Best Original Screenplay Award, the five works that eventually won the nominations were "The King's Speech", "Inception", "Another Year", "The Fighter" and "The Children Are All Well". In the face of such competition, "Buried Alive" is entirely hopeful to go further, even if it replaces "Another Year" for the nominations, it is not uncommon at all.
But unfortunately, Chris Spalling's stupid behavior, although not causing a domino effect, is still more or less affected - this is Hollywood, there are no airless walls. In the end, "Buried Alive" unfortunately missed the Best Original Screenplay Award.
Going back to the confrontation between "127 Hours" and "Buried Alive", in the positive comparison of the two works, the former has the advantage, and it also won the Best Film Editing Award, which is known as "Small Best Movie". I think it's a big hit at this year's Oscars.
Who would have guessed that James lost to Renly in the end, lost the best actor nomination, and also let "127 Hours" in the Oscar prospects plummet.
However, in addition to being embarrassed, more people applauded Renly!
From "Pacific War" to "Buried Alive" to "Love Crazy", Renly's birth in the past six months has been impressive, and it has finally reached its peak at this moment, earning the Oscar nomination in the bag!
