The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 899: Actor competition

Applause, still applause.

At the moment of Meryl Streep’s coronation, the entire Kodak Theatre was applauded continuously, and it was a mighty and vigorous tribute, regardless of whether Meryl could win the film queen of Venice in the future, and regardless of Meryl Whether it will be able to tie the record of Katharine-Hepbum's four best female protagonists in the future, there is no doubt that Meryl has written her own legend.

It is precisely because of Meryl's excellent record at the Oscars that people jokingly call her the "Oscar cancer", which is a ridicule, but also a recognition. Meryl is the most important stumbling block on every actress's road to the top of Oscar. Judging from the current situation, this title should accompany her for some time.

Meryl and Colin left the stage together, and the guests in the Kodak Theater finally came to their senses: What happened just now?

Award-winning top favorite Viola Davis suffered an upset, "Help" still has only one best supporting actress accounted for tonight. In the absence of the best actor and best director nominations, "help" has been It's basically certain, and it's no longer the best film.

In other words, the battle for "Hugo", "artist", "descendant" and "Midnight Paris" has entered the final stage where the bayonet is popular. For "Midnight Paris" and "Hugo", the best director is the last fight; for "artist" and "descendants", before the best director, the battle for the best actor will be the final tonight An important hurdle for the award ceremony.

Best actor, the most anticipated best actor.

People always say, maybe, the best actress will occasionally appear in the young year, the actress may be lucky to reach the top, Sandra Bullock in 2010, Marion Cotillard in 2008, Reese in 2006 This is true for Witherspoon, Halle Berry in 2002, etc.; but not for Best Actor.

In the past ten years, every Oscar showdown and competition for best actor is a suffocating showdown of real materials, real swords and guns. Only the real strong and overlord can stand out and have the last laugh. , The winner of each final Xiaojinren is a well-deserved one, and has been unanimously affirmed by everyone.

Why is Sean Penn’s position in Hollywood detached? Why does Philip Seymour Hoffman have a solid reputation in the industry? Why can Daniel Day-Lewis not buy the college public relations account?

The answer is the same: absolute strength above the Oscars, especially after the concept of the 1998 awards season was released, the college public relations gradually began to rise, these actors can still beat the siege among the shadows of the sword and aspire to the Oscars, from the industry. Is definitely a magic weapon to win!

After experiencing the brilliance of Hollywood's peak period in the 1960s, and the turbulence of the gradual business model in the 1980s, Hollywood's requirements and expectations for actors have gradually formed. This is true for actresses and so are actors.

The first is age. The golden age of an actor is thirty-five or even forty years old.

As of this year, in history, a total of 412 actors have nominated a actor. For the first time, fewer than 10% of actors are nominated for a actor, and the average age is 43. This is in stark contrast to actresses, at least half of whom were under 30 when they first won the nomination.

Among the 22 winners after the 1990s, the number of winners in the 40s was 9 times, the number of winners in the 50s and above was 4 times, and the number of winners in the 30s was 8 times. For the second time, the only winner under the age of 30 was "Pianist" Adrian Brody, who was 29 years old and three hundred and forty-three days old when he reached the top.

The second is the appearance. The handsome appearance when he was young is no longer popular. The handsome guys like Marlon Brando, Clark Gable, and James Steat who won the Figurines in their early thirties have already Become history. Unless they get old.

The most typical representatives are Paul Newman, Peter Otto and Leonardo DiCaprio. Paul, who has been handsome for a lifetime, received the Lifetime Achievement Award, and won the first actor figurines in the second year; Peter won eight nominations, but no one received; and after the new century, the competition for the figurines has become The resentful Leonardo.

In recent years, Ryan Gosling, Jack Gyllenhaal, Jude Law, Ethan Hawke, etc. who have repeatedly hit the wall have also been the same.

This year's battle for the best actor was not inferior in intensity, but the unspoken rules broke the conventions of previous years and continued the chaos of the award season.

George Clooney of "Descendants", Brad Pitt of "Penalties", Gary Oldman of "Potter, Tailor, Soldier, Spy", Jean Dujardin of "Artist", "Love is crazy", Lan Li-Hall.

The five nominees all have the strength, and at the same time, the five nominees also have the popularity. Whether it is pure paper strength or variable academic public relations, the gap between the five nominees is not as big as expected; Known as the fiercest and closest actor competition in five years.

Five years ago, in 2007, Forest Whitaker defeated Peter Otto of "Eros" and Leonardo of "Blood Diamond" with his "Last Dictator" performance. DiCaprio, "When happiness comes knocking" Will Smith, and "Half Nelson" Ryan Gosling, successfully picked off the only figurine of his career.

Tonight, the intensity of competition is more intense than ever; but it is even more unpredictable.

In terms of age, George and Gary in the 50-year-old range, Brad in the 40-year-old range, Jean in the 30-year-old range, and Lan Li in the 20-year-old range, can be said to be all over the three generations of old, middle and young people. Moreover, the coverage is very rare; in terms of appearance, apart from Gary, the other four actors are all recognized handsome guys.

From the analysis of these two aspects, Jean-Dujardin and Renly-Hall should be the first to go out: Nomination is encouragement; George and Brad are the absolute hottest prizes, fame, network, prestige and works. Both actors have the advantage.

But in fact, the process of the entire awards season has changed slightly-or in other words, earth-shaking changes.

After this year’s awards season officially kicked off, in the battle for the actor, the first two young actors, Renly Hall and Ryan Gosling, took the lead, especially the "Crazy Love" and "Cancer Fighters". When I was in the hot show, Lan Li deservedly became the number one favorite.

Later, Ryan gradually fell behind, but Lan Li's strong momentum continued.

As a private, personal, and intimate sketch, "Love Is Crazy" has no advantages compared to other works. Moreover, the character played by Lan Li is not a real person, terminally ill, not physically disabled, but just an ordinary College students are even more ordinary than last year's "Blue Valentine's Day".

For Oscar, this does not seem to have any appeal.

However, the Jacobs played by Lan Li awakens people’s fond memories of "Annie Hall": the Jewish youth played by Woody Allen is ordinary, ordinary, nagging, petty, self, picky, troublesome, But his body embodies the color of the entire society, showing the true and beautiful appearance of love.

In terms of strength alone, Lan Li has received numerous affirmations, complementing each other with Michelle Williams, becoming a representative of Generation Y this year, and they have been unanimously affirmed. Among the five actors on the Oscar nomination list, the strong leader! There is no doubt about this.

With the gradual advancement of the award season, the competitive situation gradually opened up. The two core actors, George Clooney and Brad Pitt, entered the academy competition with their brilliant performances, and they were fierce.

With the two works of "Descendants" and "President Killing Bureau", George, who once again created the pinnacle of his career, has once again become the focus of attention with his delicate and solid performances, especially the "Descendants" of Alexander Payne, which gave George Enough space for play and deep excavation, the excellent script undoubtedly helped a lot.

The title of "Hollywood President" is definitely not just a joke, which also makes George's popularity and reputation rise rapidly.

At the same time, Brad did not show any weakness, and "penalty kicks" appeared first. Many people called it this year's "weakness", robbed the topic and eyeballs, and once again showed his ambition and determination to polish his acting skills. ; Then the "Tree of Life" suddenly emerged, a large number of inner monologues and deep refraction discussion, once again contributed to Brad's acting skills.

Objectively speaking, both works are a bit overwhelming. The script of "Penalty Kick", and the photography and director of "Tree of Life" are not good things for Brad. But overall, Brad's rise is also very fast.

Halfway through the awards season, the "George VS Brad" showdown has become the biggest attraction in the awards season. Countless media and countless audiences are looking forward to the showdown between these two actors to see who can do it. Climbed to the top of the Oscar actor.

After this, Jean Dujardin made his way forward.

"Artist" has been screened at film festivals around the world~lightnovelpub.net~ until the end of November and early December before landing on the North American market, holding spot screenings, expansions and public screenings. The reputation gathered by major film festivals gradually became works Propaganda creates momentum and grabs the focus; as time goes by, all aspects of the "artist" gradually catch up and become one of the hottest items in the awards season.

As the leading actor, Jean Dujardin's personal charm and outstanding performance are indispensable.

An "artist" has successfully made Jean-Du Jardin a sexual/sensual man admired by women all over the world. His handsome appearance, elegant and classical temperament, and romantic French accent all make him reproduce After the glory of the top superstars in the golden age, even the downfall and predicament in real life coincide with the times and images in the "artist" story. It is almost difficult to distinguish reality from illusion.

The last is Gary Oldman's Jedi reversal.

Gary missed almost all the nominations for important outposts, but with Focus Pictures' concentrated public relations in the sprint stage, he won the first Oscar nomination of his career as a spy. In history, it was only two times that relied on the spy role to be included in the celebrity decisive battle circle.

As a result, the Oscar nominations for the top five are hotly announced.
