Superstar

The 52nd Golden Globe Awards was robbed of the limelight by the Sundance Film Festival, and the list of winners also received a lot of criticism. The best actor in a musical comedy Kim Carrey lost to Hugh Grant, the plot The best actor in the category Hugo Lancaster lost to Tom Hanks, and the best foreign language film "Blue, White and Red Trilogy of Red" lost to "Peerless Demon Girl", etc., which is about the drama The actor's controversy is undoubtedly the most.

It's not that Tom Hanks's performance in "Forrest Gump" is not good enough, but that Hugo's "Pulp Fiction" is more worthy of praise. This also makes Oscar's battle for the actor become one of the biggest attractions.

The nomination list for the best actor Oscar replicates the four seats in the nomination list for the best actor in the drama category of the Golden Globe Awards, Tom Hanks of "Forrest Gump", Morgan Freeman of "Shawshank's Redemption" , "No one is a fool" Paul Newman, "Pulp Fiction" Hugo Lancaster.

The competition of these four actors is undoubtedly one of the biggest highlights. The fierce competition easily kills the other three acting departments, which is undoubtedly the focus of everyone's attention.

Tom, who was crowned the actor last year, is coming again this year, and the Golden Globe coronation has become his biggest bargaining chip; the old actor Paul once again dedicated a wonderful performance, not long ago he also won the title of actor at the Berlin Film Festival, for the Oscar trip Make contributions; Morgan, who was nominated for acting in 1987 and 1989, is also on the upswing. His calm and restrained yet rhythmic performance style has won numerous applauses.

Then there is Hugo, the representative of the new generation. The exquisite but humorous, exaggerated but controllable performance in "Pulp Fiction" has won a lot of applause. The Cannes actor is the best proof, although Hugo relied on "Sinder" Le’s list" won the best supporting actor statuette, but compared to Tom, who won the actor last year, this year once again relying on wonderful performances to prove his Hugo, there is still a relatively obvious advantage.

It can be said that the competition between Tom and Hugo is the main theme, but Morgan’s impact is definitely not to be underestimated. Even if Morgan wins, it can’t be considered an upset. Paul, who has entered the Hall of Fame at this time, is inferior, but he is definitely not. To accompany the run. The competition between these four actors was sparkling, and the winner was still unknown until the moment the award was announced. Even the judges of the academy could not know.

In addition to these four actors, the other seat nominated by the Oscar actor belongs to "the. madness. of... gee", a British work that was not nominated for the Golden Globe Awards. , But achieved a major reversal at the Oscars, winning three important nominations for Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Adapted Screenplay.

Actor Nigel Hawthorne (.) was shortlisted, replacing Brad Pitt who was out of the nomination list for the best actor in the drama category at the Golden Globes.

This is undoubtedly an interesting situation. When the nomination list for the Golden Globe Awards came out, many film critics believed that compared to Brad, Aidan Quinn, who performed more brilliantly in the "burning years" Should be shortlisted, Brad relied on the super popularity of "Interview with the Vampire" to barely get the nomination.

Now, Oscar has also used the nomination list to prove this point.

Originally, people were looking forward to another duel between Hugo and Brad, but now it seems: Brad has a way to go if he can challenge Hugo directly.

Except for the best actor department, the competition of the other three acting departments is obviously inferior, and generally lacks some highlights. "Crazy King George" and "Bullets over Broadway", two works that were left out at the Golden Globes, shined in the Oscar's acting department. This has become the best in the acting department in addition to the celebrity competition. The only bright spot outside.

Relatively speaking, the director department and the script department are going to be a lot more lively.

The directorship of "Shawshank's Redemption" has not been recognized in any way, and this has been most affirmed even after twenty years. The highlight of this work has never been on the director Frank De Labont. Robert Zemigis of "Forrest Gump" and Quentin Tarantino of "Pulp Fiction" teamed up with Robert Redford of "Behind the Scenes" to be shortlisted for the competition.

Although the number of nominations for "behind-the-scenes lie" is not as good as "Shawshank's Redemption", the quality of the four nominations is very high, which is one of the reasons why the best picture competition has heated up.

The other two seats for the best director were given to Woody Allen of "Bullets Over Broadway" and Krzysztof Kieslovsky of "The Red of Blue, White and Red Trilogy". Although both of these two works failed to be selected as the best film, they were counterattacked at the last moment by "Shawshank's Redemption", "Four Weddings and a Funeral", but the quality of the two works is beyond doubt, especially for the Oscars. Woody Allen, who is disdainful, but the academy never hesitated to admire him, also received seven nominations for "Bullets over Broadway", including three acting nominations, one director nominations and one screenplay nominations, an absolute heavyweight.

The competition between the five top directors is not inferior to the best picture posture, especially the two directors who missed the best picture contest, the strength is strong enough to be equal to the other three nominees. From this perspective, the competition for the best director is even more fierce than the best film and best actor.

The popularity of the script department is reflected in the adaptation and originality of the ten nominations in the two departments. Nine out of the ten works are the hottest Oscars this year, and they are also the classic works of 1994.

The five nominations for best original screenplay belonged to "Pulp Fiction", "Bullets Over Broadway", "Four Weddings and a Funeral", "Red in Blue, White and Red Trilogy" and "Heavenly. Creatures" ". Except for "Angels of Sin", the scripts of the other four works have received numerous praises, and they are also a solid foundation for the great success of the film.

Even the "Angels of Sin", this work is not small. This is a work written and directed by Peter Jackson (peter.), who will be famous all over the world by relying on the "Lord of the Rings" series in the future. Kate Winslet can be seen in the lead cast.

The five best adapted screenplays are "Forrest Gump", "Crazy King George", "No one is a fool", "Behind the scenes lie" and "Shawshank's Redemption". The nominated works are all works that have received important recognition at the Oscars. Although the least nominated "Nobody is a fool" has only two nominations in hand-the other is Paul Newman's best actor, but the strength is Can not be ignored.

The most incredible thing in this department is Hugo.

Just like the Golden Globe award not long ago, Frank still reported Hugo's name together when he signed up, so Hugo appeared on the staff list of "Shawshank's Redemption" as a screenwriter. This has aroused heated discussions among many people.

When the nominations for the Golden Globes were announced before, people were watching the excitement at most, but now it's different. "Before Sunrise" was enthusiastically sought after at Sundance, and after it was released, it won the likes of countless audiences, among which Hugo, as a screenwriter, received unanimous praise. All this proves that Hugo has a talent for screenwriting.

So Hugo's appearance on the Oscar nomination list as a member of the screenwriter of "Shawshank's Redemption" is not only a lively event, but also an affirmation of strength. People can't help but wonder whether the "before sunrise" who missed this year's competition time can appear in the nomination list for next year's Oscars.

The fierce competition in several important departments has also made countless people full of expectations for this Oscar awards ceremony. Compared with last year’s "Schindler's List" and "Farewell to the Sentimental Heavens" showdown, the pattern of the competition this year is obviously different. More accidents make people more curious about the trend of the results.

It is worth mentioning that the "Night Interviews with Vampires" and "The Years of Love", which have been hyped countless times before, are obviously even more incomparable with "Pulp Fiction" at the Oscars. "The Years of Love" is not bad and won three nominations for best photography, best art direction, and best sound; while "Interview with the Vampire" received two nominations for best art direction and best soundtrack, but at the same time They also won a golden plum trophy-Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise's worst partner award.

This also triggered another round of ridicule from the Chicago Tribune, "This is all right. Brad and Tom are on the same track as Hugo again. But unfortunately, they don’t have Hugo’s. courage."

Both Brad and Tom were absent from the Golden Raspberry Awards ceremony-to be precise, no one was willing to attend the Golden Raspberry Award in the past three years except for Hugo’s horrifying award ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Raspberry Award.

From this level, it once again proved that Brad now wants to fight against Hugo, there is still a huge gap. A "Pulp Fiction" almost destroyed all competitors. However, Hugo's precise selection of films is also reflected in another work, "Life and Death Speed".

Although this pure popcorn commercial film missed the main Oscar competition, its technical aspect has been generally recognized. It has not only two technical nominations for best sound and best sound effect editing, but also an important department of best editing. Nomination, this is the best affirmation of "Life and Death Speed".

The "Los Angeles Times" expressed this view on the nomination list, "Following Steven Spielberg last year, this year Hugo Lancaster has used his methods to prove his strong presence."

Last year Steven Spielberg had "Schindler's List" and Wu had "Jurassic Park"; this year Hugo had "Pulp Fiction" and Wu had "Speed ​​of Life and Death". interesting. It's just that Steven achieved a complete victory last year. Can Hugo replicate this result this year?

With such expectations, the Oscars ceremony kicked off!
