While Hugo and Charlize are dancing with the darkness on the far east coast, and Leonardo is isolated from the world in the remote countryside, the historical dispute on the west coast has gradually moved towards*.

The reformists headed by "Titanic" became more and more powerful. With the film's cumulative box office in the third week of March, it reached 494 million, surpassing the "L.A. Confidential" to become 1997. In addition to the year-end championship, it is only one step away from the 500 million sky grab. It has become the second film history to have a box office of more than 500 million.

The traditional school headed by "L.A. Confidential" does not show any weakness. Supported by the excellent performance of the two works "Perfect" and "Mind Catcher", retro movies that respect the script, emphasize the plot, and explore in-depth ideas reached the 1990s At the peak since then, these works have become the perfect representative of "commercial film and art film", a deadly weapon of the traditional school, telling everyone: truly excellent films should not be simple and crude, but should be at the same time. A complex with commercial value and artistic flavor.

It can be said that the two factions are not giving way. They are not only professional film critics, but also screenwriters or special effects professionals. They include directors, producers, photographers, lighting engineers, stylists, and editors. The positions are all involved, not to mention the actors standing at the moment. This vigorous showdown truly reproduces the grand occasion after the birth of the "male and male thieves" in 1967.

In history, the reformers headed by the "Titanic" had the last laugh. So this time, can the menacing traditionalists change or even block the progress of the wheel of history? The 70th Oscar Awards Ceremony, as a gathering place for industry representatives and spokespersons, will temporarily put an end to this controversy.

Six weeks ago, the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nomination list for this year's Oscars. In the nomination stage alone, countless swords and swords can be seen, which early indicates that the torrent is coming!

The most watched Best Picture Award can be said to be no surprise. "Titanic" joined hands with "L.A. Confidential", "Perfect" and "Mind Catcher" to be shortlisted. The last seat won numerous praises throughout the awards season. The British work "Six Light Pigs" won. The top five seats are almost not much different from the results of the previous award ceremonies. The strength of the five works is much higher than that of other competitors. The final selection is completely true. Well deserved!

This is also the fundamental reason why the prototype of the Oscars "Awarding Season" is really felt for the first time: most of the members of the major award ceremonies are inextricably linked to the college, professional and non-professional, and the east coast of the west coast. Almost everyone in the media associations can connect together. As a result, people felt for the first time: Oscars can be predicted, and more importantly, the peripheral economic and public relations effects centered on Oscars can be controlled.

The list of nominations for the 70th Oscar for Best Picture gives such a revelation.

The best director department also continued this pattern. James Cameron of "Titanic", Curtis Hansen of "L.A. Confidential", James L-Brooks of "Perfect", "Mind Catcher" "Gus Van Sant" (gus. van. sant) and Peter Catanyo (peter.) of "Six Heroes of the Pig" were nominated together, maintaining a high degree of consistency with the five seats of Best Picture This also means that the five works have been highly unanimously affirmed by the college, which also indicates that the competition at the award ceremony will be extremely fierce.

It is worth mentioning that among the best film editing nominations known as the "Little Best Picture", four of the five works still maintain a high degree of consistency, "Titanic", "Perfect Perfection", and "L.A. Confidential" Both the "Mind Catcher" and the "Mind Catcher" were successfully shortlisted, with the only exception being that "Air Force One" replaced the "Six Light Pigs" position and was successfully shortlisted for the final competition.

This may be a signal that is not big or small, and has a hint for the trend of the best film.

In comparison, this year's four major acting departments are less competitive, but this is only relative. In fact, the competition in acting departments is the most watched in any year, and this year is no exception.

Known as the star-studded best actor award nominations for five seats can be said to be star-studded, "perfect" Jack Nicholson, "the hero" Dustin Hoffman, "L.A. Confidential "Hugo Lancaster", "Mind Catcher" Matt Damon, "Titanic" Leonardo DiCaprio, these five actors constitute this year's final five. , Completely detonated the heat of all topics-even close to the competition for the best picture award.

This list of nominations can be said to be the most shining one in the past ten years. Jack, Dustin and Hugo are the three winners of the previous years. The first two are the top four in the United States in the 1980s. The second big actor, while the latter is the most powerful representative of the baby boom generation, and is known as the absolute superstar that is rare in Hollywood in a century; Matt and Leonardo are two young talents, the former relies on screenwriters The debut work was a blockbuster, becoming a new star who considered talent double after Woody Allen, Emma Thompson, and Hugo. The latter had already won the Oscar nomination for best supporting actor four years ago, and last year Appointed as the best actor at the Berlin Film Festival and is firmly among the top actors.

Just reading this list of nominations, it is difficult for people to make more requests. Even the most demanding and critical film critics have to admit that this is a perfect nomination, not to mention one of the five nominations. Four of the works are strong contenders for the best film, which also makes the battle for the actor more compact, more intense, and more unpredictable.

In addition, in the end, no matter who wins the prize, it will make history: Dustin has won the actor statuette twice. If he gets another one, he will become the first actor in film history to win three actor statuettes; Jack has won. A Best Actor and a Best Supporting Actor Figurine, Hugo is also, if they get another one, they will also become the first actor in film history to get three acting Figurine-Hugo will be the only one. An actor who won two trophies before the age of thirty-one; Matt and Leonardo were both born after 1970. Once they win, they will not only refresh Hugo’s current youngest age to win prizes, but also It will also herald the strong rise of actors in the "X Age"-before the baby boomers have really reached their peak.

Therefore, in addition to the best picture award, everyone is paying attention: the final direction of the actor.

In such a comparison, the competition for the best actress appears to be bleak, "Perfect" Helen Hunter, "Titanic" Kate Winslet, "Mrs. Brown" Judy Dench, "* Julie Christie (.) of "***Game ( and Helena.. Carter (.. Carter) of "The Wings of Pigeon (the... of the. were successfully shortlisted.

The old drama bones Judy and Julie lead, the Mesozoic Helen and Helena are both nominated for the first time, and the new generation representative Kate has been affirmed after "reason and emotion". But whether it is Judy and Helen who are the most vocal, or Kate who is the most popular, the overall nomination list is still too weak, far from being comparable to the star-studded contender.

And most importantly, in this list of nominations, the Golden Globes drama queen Judy and musical comedy queen Helen are almost outstanding in their strengths. Not surprisingly, in the end, the owner of the Little Golden Man will be born between these two people.

There are quite a few surprises in the Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress departments.

Robin Williams of "Mind Catcher", Greg Kinnear of "Perfect", Anthony Hopkins of "Broken Rage", Burt Reynolds of "Boogie Night", "Los Angeles" Kevin Spacey of "Confidential" will compete for the best supporting actor.

Nominations for Best Supporting Actress include Kim Basinger from "L.A. Confidential", Joan Cusack from "The Bridegroom's Wrong Turn", Minnie River from "Mind Catcher", and "Boogie Nights" Five actresses including Julianne Moore and Gloria Stewart of "Titanic".

It can be seen that the real nominations are still concentrated on the four most high-profile works in Hollywood, and the four nominations for two projects in the script department also prove this. Except for "Titanic", all the other key works were shortlisted for the screenplay department From this detail, we can also see the academy’s distinctive attitude-they are different from the Golden Globes, which are in One of the five limited positions of the best screenwriter was squeezed out for "Titanic", but the academy believes that "Titanic" is completely a representative work of innovation, representing that computer special effects take the place of the script. The main work, its script is not bad, but there is no need for comment, because the vitality that James has given to this movie has far exceeded the limitations of the script itself.

The Academy rewards the imagination of "Titanic" and its contribution to the further development of the film industry. Therefore, the Academy put "Titanic" and other works clearly in two camps. This also indicates that the trend of the final awards will have a more distinct effect.

Among the best adapted screenplays, five works include "L.A. Confidential", "Making a Hero", "Dove's Wings", "Loyal Traitors (. and "Don't Forget (the.sweet.hereafter Shortlisted, but the competitiveness is obviously weak. "L.A. Confidential" is a top performer, and only the "big hero" can launch an impact.

The best original screenplay is just the opposite. The fierce competition can be called the most in recent years! "Perfect", "Mind Catcher", "Six Heroes of the Pig", "Boji Ye", and "Deconstructed Harry (.harry are the top five contestants, all of which are not good!
