The Oscars are the same every year. After the awards, there are always disputes. It will take a long time. This year, the biggest controversy is that the Academy discriminates against blockbusters, especially science fiction films.
Since Clint Eastwood's "million dollar baby" in 2005, the Oscar seems to have sent such a signal: we will praise more small films.
The cost of the 77th "million dollar baby" is $30 million; 78th "crash" 6.5 million; The 79th "Infernal Affairs" 90 million; The 80th "no country for old people" will never exceed 5000; 81st Slumdog Millionaire 35 million; The 82nd "bomb disposal force" was 15 million. Among them, only the late best picture awarded to Martin Scorsese is a big production, and the rest are all small and medium-sized films.
In the same year as Infernal Affairs, the four nominated films Tongtian tower, letter from Iwo Jima, Queen and little sunshine beauty are all low-cost and small production films. The same thing happened in other Oscar nominations, such as Juno, milk, life in the rose, good night, good luck and so on.
Of course, the amount of these funds is not the whole problem. They only directly reflect such a phenomenon from one side. On the film screen, we can't see the capital flow behind the film, but we do see the actors that not everyone knows. At the beginning and end of the film, we see the names of directors that not everyone knows.
Where are the big and famous productions that have attracted countless attention in the past year. Gone are the Oscar days when the best picture Oscar winner was awarded to brave heart, Forrest Gump, Titanic, Gladiator, Lord of the rings 3 and the dark knight.
Does the college mean to shift its attention from big production to small production? The so-called wind direction does not exist. In recent years, the poor performance of Hollywood blockbusters in film art is the real reason why they missed the Oscar.
Film is the product of science, but as the eighth art of mankind, film is an art in essence. An excellent film work should be a profound reproduction of the spirit of human nature, even the dark side of human nature, regardless of its production scale. Such films will still be pursued by later people until many years later.
The big production brave heart, which once won the Oscar for best film, has always implemented the spirit of freedom in its 177 minute film process. From Wallace's secret wedding, to the uprising, to the war, to the final death penalty, the whole story serves the theme of freedom and is sublimated in the climax of the film.
Wallace died, but the desire for freedom still prompted him to shout: "freedom!". Another example is the Oscar best film Titanic, which shines the brilliance of human nature in the expression of love and human emotion in the face of death.
However, in recent years, blockbusters have turned their spiritual theme into a part of film gimmicks, serving the plot, not the opposite. In spider man, which helped Sony make a lot of money a few years ago, Peter Parker said from time to time that "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!" can be regarded as the spiritual theme of the film. This doggerel theme only constitutes a necessary seasoning for Hollywood fast food films, not a factor worthy of our thinking and moving.
For example, this year's blockbuster avatar can be said to be the epitome of Hollywood fast-food films. The anti aggression theme of its primitive culture only builds a thin spiritual framework to support the film. In 1991, Kevin Costner's "dancing with Wolves" created this new theme, which has been completely used as a cliche after today's "Avatar".
Film is definitely an art, not a science. If big Hollywood productions still focus on entertainment and special effects, there will be only the destruction of Hollywood blockbusters on the Oscar stage.
However, the ratings of the 82nd Academy Awards soared to the highest level in five years. In the past five years, more than 40 million viewers have watched the award ceremony twice in quanmi, and this year's 41 million audience rating is the second straight-line rise after the lowest point in 2006. Specific comparative data: this year is 3% higher than last year's 39 million, and it has also set the highest record since the audience reached 42.1 million (Mark's session) in 2008.
The Academy Awards ceremony can achieve such good results in recent years, which is a continuation of the recent continuous strengthening of TV program ratings. Last month, not only did the Super Cup win a record audience rating of 165 million, but the Grammy Awards ceremony also won the best score in six years, with 25.9 million viewers watching the ceremony that night. In addition, the all meter music award also won its best audience rating of 14.29 million in seven years, and the Golden Globe award ceremony also achieved good ratings, not all of the four awards last year, Only Oscar survived.
The reason why the Oscar ceremony, which we discussed most, achieved good ratings, was the increase of nomination awards. More nominated films helped the awards ceremony attract more audiences. Not only box office blockbusters such as "flying house" and "Avatar" were nominated, but also films loved by the audience such as "warm football", This will increase the audience's interest in watching the award ceremony.
In addition to making great efforts in nominating films, in order to attract audiences under the age of 35 to watch the award ceremony, the organizers invited a group of stars with great appeal among young people, such as Miley Cyrus, Zach Efron and Taylor Lott.
Tom Sherak is the current president of the academy and he is the main driver of the expansion of the nomination for best picture. Sherak said he was very satisfied with the award ceremony and the audience rating. In an interview with the media, he said: "I think expanding the number of nominations for best films will definitely do more harm than good, but no one can predict whether the new rules are right or wrong in the first year of implementation. The college gives us a wider range of films to choose, which helps Oscar attract a wider audience. If you think these films are really great, and most film names can be blurted out If so, I hope you can create more discussions. "
Although the overall ratings in the United States have improved, the Oscar ratings in New York are slightly lower than last year's level. This is because ABC's New York WABC TV station is competing with the local cable station. Nearly 3 million can't watch WABC programs, and the cable station didn't connect the broadcast signal of the award ceremony that night until 8:44 p.m., so many viewers think that the TV station won't turn The program was broadcast on other channels. This directly affected New York's failure to win the Oscar title. The top cities in this year's ratings were Chicago, West Palm Beach, Boston, Kansas City and San Francisco. The ratings of Los Angeles also increased compared with last year.
The length of this academy awards ceremony has once again attracted people's attention without exception. This three-and-a-half-hour ceremony didn't end until midnight.
Considering the length of "Barbara Walters Oscar special" broadcast before the official award ceremony, the organizers of the award ceremony consider that it is possible to advance the start time of the ceremony by at least half an hour.
Tom Sherak said it's too early to decide the length of the next Academy Awards, but it's certain that the program should be as short as possible, "Personally, I also like the three hour award ceremony, but more importantly, we want to leave an impressive night for our audience, so holding a time of 2 hours and 58 minutes that all staff like is not a good choice.".
According to the statistics of ABC TV, the "Barbara Walters Oscar special program" they broadcast before the award ceremony this year lasted an hour from 7 p.m., rising to 15 million viewers compared with 11.6 million last year, reaching the best performance in eight years.
The red carpet session held from 8:00 to 8:30 attracted a total of 25.1 million viewers, which is also the best achievement in recent three years. In the Jimmy Kimmel live show: after the Oscar ceremony, it also achieved the best achievement in recent four years.
Although the overall audience rating of quanmi has improved, the Oscar audience rating in New York is slightly lower than that of last year. This is because ABC's New York WABC TV station is competing with the local cable station. Nearly 3 million can't watch WABC programs, and the cable station didn't connect the broadcast signal of the award ceremony that night until 8:44 p.m., so many viewers think that the TV station won't turn The program was switched to another channel.
This directly affected New York's failure to win the Oscar title. The top cities in this year's ratings were Chicago, West Palm Beach, Boston, Kansas City and San Francisco. The ratings of Los Angeles also increased compared with last year.
The timing of the Academy Awards ceremony has always been a big problem for officials.
At the 74th Academy Awards ceremony in 2002, host UPI Goldberg once said: "I'm afraid the awards tonight will last until dawn tomorrow, but it's shorter than explaining muhiland road."
To this end, the Oscars emphasize that the winner's speech should not exceed 45 seconds every year, and the accompaniment music is becoming more and more arrogant. For example, Silas Swank, the 77th film queen, stands on the stage, suggesting that the music is actually a classic farewell song, "the magnificent seven heroes", which forced her to step down, but the effect is still limited.
This year, the college finally gave a tough hand and carried out an unprecedented crazy slimming of the ceremony. After kicking out the honor award, all the live singing nominated for the best song were removed.
As a result, we can no longer see the amazing performance of Beyonce singing five songs alone, nor the singing and dancing scenes of Indian men in Slumdog Millionaire. Even if Bjork dressed up as a Turkey next time, he can't stand on the stage.
