Nominations for the 87th Oscar for Best Picture:

"Budapest Hotel", "Birdman", "Boyhood", "Selma Parade", "Theory of Everything", "Burst Drummer", "American Sniper", "Imitation Game".

A total of eight works were successfully shortlisted, and all the popular works were successfully landed without falling behind. The "American Sniper", who had been tragically ignored at the Golden Globe Awards, was in a strong position at the last moment.

On the one hand, it proves that Clint Eastwood is still strong and strong. On the other hand, it proves that the rise of conservatives in the United States has been unstoppable. Of course, the film can be regarded as a sky-defying box office of 300 million US dollars, and it has also replaced the "interstellar". "Crossing" has become the most commercial work in this year's awards season. Bradley Cooper, who plays the roles of producer and starring, seems to be creating his own golden age of Hollywood.

But the accident still occurred.

"Fox Hunter" and "Saint Vincent" both fell behind and broke through a pair of glasses.

If the latter is too light and lacks impact after all, then the former has won numerous praises throughout the awards season. It can be said that it has been advancing all the way, but was blocked from the best picture nomination at the last moment. This can be called an earthquake. The level is unexpected. The entire industry is full of question marks, and "what's going on" popped up, but no one can know the answer. Obviously, the support rate is just a bubble.

Perhaps the hacking incident is the best explanation.

"Fox Hunter" missed the best picture nomination, which also directly proves that the wind direction of the Golden Globe Awards is only the "wind direction" after all. It is impossible to accurately grasp the pulse of the college judges. Among the huge base of 6,000 college judges, all Guessing and estimation are only a probability after all.

In addition, the shortlist for "Theory of Everything" can be regarded as a small upset. Although this work also won a nomination at the Golden Globe Awards, the 72-point media review proved that this is not an outstanding film. More praise for the works of "Fox Hunter" comes from the performance. Compared with the "Fox Hunter" who scored 81 points in the media review, there is a clear gap in overall quality. The one in and one out of the two proves the weight of the college's public relations. .

That is, Harvey Weinstein's method.

But no matter what, the popular works won the nomination steadily. "Budapest Hotel" and "Boyhood" temporarily ranked first, while "Birdman" and "Burst Drummer" ranked second. Two works of "Selma Parade" and "Imitation Game" showed a downward trend, occupying the third group together with "American Sniper" and "The Theory of Everything".

The division of the overall pattern is naturally not unfounded. The nomination list of the best director is the most direct proof.

"Boyhood" Richard Linklater, "Budapest Hotel" Wes Anderson, "Birdman" Alessandro Gonzalez-Inarito, "Blasting Drummer" Damien Chazeret, Bennett Miller of "Fox Hunter", five directors were successfully shortlisted.

Clear at a glance!

Richard Linklater and Wes Anderson are still the front runners of the entire awards season. Alessandro Gonzalez Inarito relies on superb skills and outstanding skills. The power of control shows the ability of the director's position, which is a bit similar to the situation of Alfonso Cuarón last year. Although the overall momentum of "Birdman" has not surpassed the competition, the director's nomination is stable and there is basically not much suspense. .

The above three directors have basically not missed in the nomination list so far in the awards season. They have joined together to form the first group and are also nominated in the Oscar nomination list. However, there are many variables in the other two seats. After that, about eight directors competed for two seats.

For the Golden Globes, the other two seats belong to David Fincher of "The Lost Lovers" and Ava Duwayne of "The Selma Parade".

For the British Academy Awards, the remaining two seats belong to Damien Chazele of "Burst Drummer" and James-Marsh of "Theory of Everything".

The Directors’ Guild of America Award, Morten Tedum of "Imitation Game" and Clint Eastwood of "American Sniper" made it into the final five.

See Weizhi book.

The nominations for the three major award ceremonies mentioned above are all different and belong to six different directors. None of them can be nominated securely, and similar situations can be seen in other major award ceremonies and association awards. , Continued the melee in the director's department.

Just like the battle for the best actor, the competition for the best director also shows a full-scale melee in which a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend.

In previous years, the nomination list and the final winner of the Directors Guild of America Award can be the best guide for the Oscars, but this year it does not apply.

Damien Chazele, the "Blasting Drummer", emerged in a chaotic battle. With sharp editing and smooth scheduling, he won the votes of countless judges. He won the first place in his career at the age of 28. An Oscar nomination; and "Fox Hunter" Bennett-Miller broke out a shocking upset. After missing the British Academy Award and the American Directors Guild Award consecutively, he ranked among the top five Oscars as a dark horse.

Even the Golden Globes failed to predict the top position of Bennett Miller, and the profile once again proved that the award season college public relations is full of countless possibilities.

Directors such as David Fincher, Ava Duwayne, Morten Tedum, Clint Eastwood, Mike Lee and Paul Thomas Anderson have all fallen off the horse. The most regrettable one is David- Vinci, and the most surprising is Morten Tedum’s "imitation game" hand of good cards, I don’t know how Weinstein Pictures have fallen to such a point, the most controversial is Ava Duvine "Sell "Marathon" has received countless praises but still failed to make this female director shortlisted, and the female director's weakness is still a stubborn disease.

From the final nomination list for the best director, you can feel the smoke of the awards season this year. The strong shortlists of "Burst Drummer" and "Fox Hunter" undoubtedly detonated the topic.

It is precisely because of this that "Fox Hunter" was absent from the best picture nomination, which sparked a lot of controversy. Even the best director has been nominated counter-attack, but was abandoned by the best picture. This is really incredible. The solution; and "Burst Drummer" also relied on two important nominations to regain its strength and once again joined hands with "Birdman" to enter the chaos of the best film battle, which adds a lot to the second stage of the college public relations. variable.

Both of these works are from Sony Classics.

In fact, a similar pattern has also continued to the script department, which can still be seen as a microcosm of the next development trend of the best film battle.

Best original script, "Birdman", "Budapest Hotel", "Nightcrawler", "Fox Hunter", "Boyhood".

In addition to "Night Crawler", the other four works have strong competitiveness, not to mention that the three most popular works of Best Picture are all gathered together, and the absence of "Fox Hunter" from the best picture nomination is even more confusing.

Best adapted screenplay, "Burst Drummer", "Imitation Game", "Theory of Everything", "American Sniper", "Nature is Evil".

"Evil of Nature" is the only work that has not been nominated for the best film. It is more to commend Paul Thomas Anderson for his scripting accomplishments. This talented director should have been a popular candidate for the best director, but The entire awards season has not been able to really push the momentum; as for the other four works, all are seeded players in this year's awards season, so there is no need to go into details.

It should be noted that of the eight works nominated for Best Picture, only "Selma Parade" did not have a nominated script, plus Ava Duway lost the director nomination, which directly proves that the first stage is flourishing. The "Selma Parade" was left behind at the last moment. It was not an unexpected upset that Paramount Pictures, a publishing company, once again ruined a good hand.

On the whole, the competition for original scripts is more intense, and "Burst Drummer" should also be the original script. This is the script created by Damien Chazere himself, but in order to find investment, he shot a short film, and then it was long The film was developed and improved on the basis of short films, which also made the final product recognized by the academy as an "adapted script". Otherwise, the fight in the original script department would be even more tragic.

Nominations for another important award can be used as an indicator, and that is the Best Editing Award.

In this award known as the "Little Best Picture", you can also see the overall trend of the judges' voting. "Boyhood" and "Budapest Hotel" were nominated for nominations without any suspense, and the remaining three seats were determined by "Burst Drummer" joined hands with "American Sniper" and "Imitation Game" to be shortlisted.

First of all, the "imitation game" squeezed out the "Fox Hunter" shortlisted. These two works have a shortlisted editor and a shortlisted director. The balance of top and bottom can also be seen as the similar attributes of biographical movies that are consuming each other's achievements. Award hope.

Secondly, "Birdman" broke out a small upset and dropped the nominated film and took a pseudo-one shot to shoot the entire film. It is really not competitive in the editing department, but whether this may have an impact on the competition for the best film~www. novelhall.com~ Then there is no way to know.

Thirdly, the "Burst Drummer" has been playing steadily, and it is the biggest hit in the editing department. This has also become an important factor in reversing the competitive landscape of the best film.

Based on the above, this has initially reached the overall pattern of the first stage of the best picture battle. "Boyhood" and "Budapest Hotel" are leading the way, followed by "Birdman" and "Burst Drummer". , And then enter the second stage, then look at Fox Searchlight and Sony Classics teaming up to encircle the independent film company ifc Pictures.

Of course, another direct evidence of the overall pattern of the first stage of the awards season is the number of nominations.

The Oscar has garnered a large number of technical award nominations. In terms of the number of nominations alone, "boyhood" will inevitably not be able to seize the advantage, which is directly reflected in the final nominations.

In the end, the two hot works of "Budapest Hotel" and "Birdman" led the entire nomination list with nine nominations. "Burst Drummer" and "Imitation Game" followed with seven nominations, and then " The six nominations for "Boyhood" and "American Sniper" had surprises but also surprises, but overall, they continued the first stage of predictions.
