Movie Master

Cranes and clams compete, and the fisherman benefits.

This has almost become the main theme of the entire awards season, but is it really that simple? Obviously not.

On June 10, 2004, a generation of legendary musician Ray-Charles passed away at his home at the age of 73, because the day after Ray's death happened to be the day when former US President Ronald-Roagen was buried -- he died just five days ago, so many radio stations played Ray's memorable performance at Ronald Reagan's inauguration in 1985 -- his rendition of America the Beautiful, which moved countless fans to tears orbital.

On October 29, 2004, The King of Soul Singer was released. Originally, it was just a film to pay tribute to Ray Charles, but unexpectedly it became a work in memory of a generation of singers. After the release, the film was well received by fans and The enthusiastic attention of movie fans, and Jamie's vivid performance has been enthusiastically sought after by countless people.

This is what the times make heroes. It was originally just an ordinary biographical film, but because of the particularity of the time point, it unexpectedly became an emotional carrier for people to express their nostalgia and commemoration. In fact, the production and distribution company Universal Pictures did not expect it. to such a situation. What's more, Jamie's outstanding performance has been unanimously recognized by everyone, so Universal Pictures pushed the boat forward and launched a strong and targeted academy public relations.

In the past two years, the vigor and prosperity of the black racial movement has made even more progress. Jamie's excellent acting skills have already been praised, but now the time and place are right - the right energy exploded at the right time, which made Jamie the most popular contender for the best actor in the entire awards season!

Even putting aside all subjective factors, Jamie did not lose in the contest with Leonardo and Tom; what's more, the biography of geniuses has always been the favorite of old academics in the academy.

Leonardo's performance in The Aviator was indeed full of tension, especially the scene where he was trapped in the auditorium and was almost schizophrenic. Martin's camera gave Leonardo full trust, and the pain went deep into the bone marrow And struggling under Leonardo's interpretation is shocking, but overall it seems to lack a sense of hierarchy, not delicate enough but also explosive, but it seems to be a bit too much performance, compared to Jamie in Soul Singer Among them, in terms of freely retractable, flowing, and soul-stirring performances, you can still feel the difference.

In the same biographical film, Jamie gave Ray Charles the soul, but Leonardo gave Howard Hughes more of his mark.

This is the gap.

Murder with a Borrowed Knife was hailed as the best performance of Tom's career, not only because he challenged the villain's acting skills, but also because his performance was really brilliant, with clear layers, clear characters, delicate portrayals, and relaxation. In the camera, he showed the role of Vincent to the fullest, and even after watching the movie, the audience felt a little dazed—the shock of self-identity was like a tidal wave.

However, the shortcomings of Tom's performance are embarrassing. At the moment when he lacked the final explosive power, the chemical reaction had already been produced, but there was no way to completely detonate it, especially in the confrontation at the end of the scene. Can go to the next level, the aftertaste of the last scene is profound and lacks the finishing touch.

Of course, Jamie is not perfect. The script and work completion of King of Soul Singer are still lacking, especially the script story has not been able to further promote the shadow fetters of childhood nightmares, making the character fullness and completion. The shortcomings, especially the ambiguity of Ray's roots as a jerk, lead to Jamie's performance lacking a foothold, and the entire production lacks the chemistry of A Beautiful Mind. This is also really regrettable.

Throughout the entire awards season, in terms of topics, the duel between Tom and Leonardo is the same for a while. This is also due to the consideration of ratings. The inseparable inseparability between them really makes the battle for actor full of highlights.

However, in terms of the awards division, it presents a different situation.

Leonardo won the Golden Globe Award for best actor in the drama category, and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award and the San Francisco Film Critics Association Award also selected him for his performance in The Aviator; North American Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards, Boston Film Critics Association Awards, New York Film Critics Association Awards, and BAFTA Awards.

In addition to winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Musical Comedy, Jamie also won the Screen Actors Guild Award, which is also the most important award in the entire awards season, because among the six thousand judges of the Academy The number of people is close to half, which seems to indicate that Jamie is likely to have the last laugh at the Oscars-really reaping the benefits of the fisherman.

It can be called a tripartite confrontation, and because of the importance of the Screen Actors Guild Awards, Jamie has come from behind and has become the biggest favorite of the actor!

Of course, Oscar has never been such a simple competition of strength.

Just like Jamie's black tickets, Ray Charles memorial tickets; Leonardo's network tickets, Martin sympathy tickets; Tom's accumulation and precipitation in Hollywood will undoubtedly become the biggest weapon.

Tom has been in Hollywood for more than 20 years. It can be said that he has worked hard, and he has been ignored for three Oscar nominations, including the astonishing passing of Magnolia. Compared with Leonardo, Tom The mental journey of Tom is obviously more difficult, and his career has become more twists and turns. Maybe if he misses this time, the fate between Tom and Oscar will really come to an end. Therefore, many people have an idea that this year, this year belongs to Tom - this is also the situation that Paramount painstakingly created during the academy's public relations process.

Due to the existence of these three candidates, the other two nominees for Best Actor, Don and Clint, were almost ignored.

The real highlight of Million Dollar Baby is the overall completion of the movie. It tells the choice and respect of life from the shallower to the deeper, and from the small to the big. As the leading actor, Clint's demeanor is also completely impressed. Morgan conceals that winning a nomination is a victory, even though Million Dollar Baby is a direct competitor to The Aviator, but it is undeniable that Clint simply cannot compete with Leonardo in this award.

Hotel Rwanda is a sad tragedy. Even Diorama Films itself is clearly aware of this. The black brand has completely lost its effect because of the existence of King of Soul Singer, and the Rwanda topic that has been silent for ten years It's not as good as Ray Charles's recent death; taking a step back and speaking from the acting skills, although Tang's performance is good, the weak script and weak characters limit his further exploration, and he can't match Jamie in every way On a par, Leonardo and Tom are also superior.

Therefore, although there are five nominations, after the start of the awards season and before the announcement of the Oscar nominations, this is a three-legged battle. Clint understands this, Don understands this, and Diorama Pictures stands behind him understands this.

Tom and Leonardo's crane and clam fight, will there be a winner? And can Jamie reap the benefits of the fisherman? Who will have the last laugh in the three-legged situation? And can Tang and Clint, who seem to accompany them on the run, fight their way out? All of these make the competition for best actor the biggest highlight tonight.

Needless to say, Lance hopes that Tom can win, not only because Tom's performance this year is really wonderful, he almost pushed Tom to the extreme, pulled back from the fragmentation and collapse several times, but there was no breathing room, and he had to fight again. Putting into the show, Tom's potential has been fully realized; and because this is probably Tom's last chance, compared to Leonardo who is only 30 years old, Tom is already 42 years old this year, After carrying the idol burden for more than 20 years, if he misses this opportunity, it is very likely that he will never be able to take off the idol burden, and he will not have the strength to launch a new round of attack again.

Therefore, for Tom and for killing with a borrowed knife, Lance crossed his fingers and prayed silently.

In the 77th Oscar in history, Lance clearly remembered the final outcome: Jamie Foxx succeeded in proclaiming himself emperor. This was the only nomination for one year in his career as an actor, and it was also the only statuette in his career as an actor. No one questioned Jamie's strength. His performance in King of Soul was indeed wonderful. Leonardo was convinced by the defeat, but what people ridiculed was that Jamie chose a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to complete his career as an actor The unbelievable explosion in the movie has never been replicated since then, but he has achieved his own brilliance. Unfortunately, Leonardo has embarked on a long journey of chasing the statuette.

Will the wheel of history change again? Can Murder with a Borrowed Knife reproduce the miracle again? Unknown, everything is full of uncertainty.

In a trance, Lance felt that his breathing began to gradually lighten up, even more nervous than when he was competing for Best Supporting Actor and Best Original Screenplay, the suffocation feeling that the clockwork in his heart was constantly tightening bit by bit Soar up until you're submerged, and you can't even feel a gap.

Standing on the stage, Charlize Theron was graceful and luxurious, and opened the envelope in her hand with a smile on her face, The winner of the 77th Oscar for Best Actor is... The atmosphere became more and more tense, and the envelope seemed to be It weighs a thousand catties, and Charlize accidentally tore the envelope with force, which caused a low chuckle on the scene, and Charlize pursed her lips in embarrassment, but after this brief relaxation, in the blink of an eye, But he became more and more tense, as if even the air had reached boiling point.

Charlize looked down at the card in the envelope, her pupils flickered slightly, was it Leonardo, Tom, or Jamie? It was as if the weight of tens of millions of gazes and the weight of decades poured down in an instant, and everyone held their breath, Tom Cruise, 'kill with a knife'.

boom! Tonight's biggest suspense is revealed, and at the same time, the biggest surprise is born! History, changed the trajectory!
