The 68th Oscar is undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention, but the reasons are different from last year's "Pulp Fiction," "Forrest Gump," and "Shawshank's Redemption". This year's Oscar is bound to be due to Hugo's. With a strong momentum and becoming the focus, Hugo has dedicated delicate, true and terrifying performances in the three works of "Before Sunrise", "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "Walking on the Death Row", which has become a win in acting in the past year. The most eye-catching actor.

It is often said that excellent reputation, strong momentum, and high popularity often become a hindrance, especially in a situation like Hugo that gathers thousands of praises, maybe it will stimulate people's rebellious psychology, but they are unwilling to give rain. If you vote; or you will vote with the idea of ​​"Hugo is so powerful, others will definitely vote for him, I will support the second place, such as Nicholas"; or the competition between Hugo and Nicholas is too fierce , The frequency of appearance is too high and offensive, and the result is voted for the third competitor... This often creates upsets.

The heat must die. This sentence is especially obvious this year. Hugo's three works in a year have been rising in momentum, almost giving people the illusion that "it is not Hugo is unfair", which made Hugo's call for awards reached. An unprecedented peak. As a result, the Golden Globe Award gave Hugo a disarm, causing the Oscar's wind direction to suddenly change drastically.

Therefore, the trend of the Oscar's best actor award has become the biggest suspense of this awards ceremony.

However, at least from the Oscar nomination list, it can be seen that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is obviously very satisfied with Hugo’s performance in the past year. It also gave a huge affirmation during the nomination stage. The top five nominees for Best Supporting Actor I saw Hugo's name again in the middle!

The outstanding performance in "The Seven Deadly Sins" won Hugo a place in the competition for best supporting actor. The suspense of the Golden Globe Award will also continue to the Oscars, because Brad Pitt in the "Twelve Monkeys" "The excellent performance in "Will him win the first Oscar nomination of his career."

The battle between Hugo and Brad will inevitably become another Oscar highlight. What’s more interesting is that Hugo won the nomination for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor at the same time, and the voting crisis has reached an unprecedented level. At the height of the height, "Death Row" Matthew and "Seven Deadly Sins" are better or worse. This unsolvable problem finally appeared at the Oscar, and the college judges will face the dilemma of the war between heaven and man.

If people want Hugo to defeat Brad and the votes are concentrated in the supporting actor department, it means that Hugo will miss the actor; if people concentrate on choosing "Death Row", does that mean Brad will also pick himself up? The first statuette; if the split is too serious, is it possible that "Hugo returns empty-handed and Brad wins the competition"?

Of course, in addition to Hugo and Brad, the other three contenders for best supporting actor should not be underestimated, Kevin Spacey of the "very suspect" and Ed Harry of Apollo 13 James Cromwell of "Baby Pig" and James Cromwell (.) were nominated separately.

Compared with the other three acting departments, the nomination list for Best Supporting Actress has changed a lot, such as Mira Sorvino from "Non-Strong Spring. Medicine", Catherine Quinan from "Apollo 13" and Kate Winslet of "Sense and Emotion" was shortlisted hand in hand, and the last two seats were won by Joan Allen of Nixon and Mare of Georgia. ) Taking it away really surprised many people-there is a huge difference from the Golden Globe Awards.

It is worth mentioning that Kate, who is only twenty years old, has been shortlisted for the competition in this department with outstanding performance of "Sense and Emotion", which complements Charlize, who is shortlisted for the best actress, and the strong rise of young actresses is also Become a beautiful landscape in the nomination list.

However, after the Oscar nominations came out, the biggest disruption to the previous Golden Globes was in the screenwriting department. Although the Golden Globes had previously rewarded the screenwriters for their efforts with six nominations, they were best adapted screenplay and best original at the Oscars. Among the ten seats in the two departments of the script, only three of them fit together, which is really a big surprise.

Among the best adapted screenplays, "Sense and Emotion", "Baby Pig", "Away from Casino", "Postman", and "Apollo 13" respectively won nominations; among the best original screenplays, "Very Suspect" ", "Brave Heart", "Before Sunrise", "Nixon Biography" and "Toy Story" are among the top five.

The biggest surprise on the list is undoubtedly the figures of two talented women, Emma Thompson and Hugo, two actors who have been unanimously recognized by famous schools and literary literacy. This time they have bloomed in the position of screenwriter. This is also the second year in a row that Hugo has been affirmed in screenwriting after "Shawshank's Redemption".

Looking at the entire list, people suddenly discovered that Hugo actually won three nominations. Like the Golden Globes, it won two nominations in the actor department and was affirmed in the original script department. It won three nominations in an unprecedented way. Created the era of Hugo.

Hugo’s strong momentum reminds people of Emma Thompson, who has been very active in recent years. Emma won double nominations at the Oscars the year before and this year. The double nomination was lost. Although there are many reasons, the splitting crisis is definitely one of them.

Hugo has won three nominations this year. Although it is extremely successful from the nomination data, perhaps the success behind it represents the crisis of returning empty-handed. But no matter what the final result is, Hugo's Oscar nomination stage can be described as a great success. The double nominations for acting and the nomination for best original screenplay continued the sweeping momentum at the Golden Globes and pushed Hugo's career in one fell swoop. Absolute peak, this is also an important reason why people generally believe that Hugo's 1995 is no less inferior to 1994.

From the perspective of the work, "Brave Heart" leads with ten nominations, three important nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Photography, Best Sound Editing, Best Make-up, Seven technical nominations, including best costume design, best sound, best film editing, and best drama soundtrack, followed closely. Although it was absent from the competition for the four major acting awards, it made this work the best of this year. Oscar's most popular.

"Apollo 13" followed closely behind with nine nominations. The four major departments, Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Adapted Screenplay, all occupy a place, but unfortunately, the most The loss of director Jia will undoubtedly be a flaw. In addition, the technical departments of the best art direction, the best visual effects, the best drama soundtrack, the best film editing, and the best audio will also compete head-to-head with "Brave Heart".

"Baby Pig" and "Sense and Emotion" both received seven nominations for the Golden Globe hot spots. Because the former is a comedy and the latter failed to nominate the best director, this also makes the two works competitive in the Oscars. The straight decline, although the performance is still good, but it is obviously beginning to cool down.

The Oscar presents a completely different scene from the Golden Globes, replacing "Baby Pig" against "Sense and Emotion". "Brave Heart" against "Apollo 13" has become the main theme. In the end, whoever will die is really a huge question mark.

Among them, the "Postman" and "Death Row", who have won five nominations respectively, are undoubtedly the biggest highlights.

As an Italian work, "The Postman" has not received enough attention before, and even not even a nomination at the Golden Globe Awards, but at the Oscars, the best foreign language film, best actor, The best director, best adapted screenplay, and best drama soundtrack were nominated for five important awards. It was definitely a dark horse in the nomination stage, and it became a hot topic of discussion in an instant.

Prior to this, the "Death Row" that has received much attention is one step closer. The five most important nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Original Song, let them compete. Power directly broke the table, although the overall momentum is not as good as "Brave Heart" and "Apollo 13", especially missed the nomination for the best adapted screenplay is very embarrassing, but it is still one of the strong competitors.

In addition, the performance of "Far from Casino", known as the enemy of "Death Convict Walk", is absolutely strong. The four nominations for Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay are full of weight, and especially the actor and movie star In the back department, the sparkling showdown between these two works has attracted everyone's attention. Compared with "Brave Heart" and "Apollo 13", the competition between these two works in the acting department is the fiercest. In addition to , the "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Before Sunrise" have also received corresponding recognition.

In addition to the best supporting actor, "Seven Sins" has also won three nominations for best photography, best sound, and best film editing. With a total of four nominations, the data is equal to that of "Far from Casino", and the performance is not good. Not inferior; "Before Sunrise" won the most important Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay, and was also nominated for Best Musical Comedy Soundtrack. The three nominations are still a good result-special For the work that was screened early in January last year, it has not been forgotten by film critics. It is not easy.

Hugo has submitted twelve nominations for the three works this year. From box office to word-of-mouth to awards, it ushered in a full-blown explosion. No matter what kind of results Hugo will achieve at the Oscars ceremony, this There is no doubt that a year has become the pinnacle of Hugo.

The Oscars gave a very different answer from the Golden Globes in the nomination stage, leaving the Hollywood Foreign Press Association faceless, but this is only a nomination. The award is still unknown. In the end, the performance of each work at the Oscar is also highly anticipated. Will Hugo's strong momentum be able to blossom and bear fruit smoothly?

This question mark is waiting to be seen.
