[US Entertainment] Kise's Hollywood Diary

Before the nomination list for the 80th Oscars came out, various magicians repeated the action of "predicting—being slapped in the face—predicting—and being slapped in the face" year after year, while summarizing this year's end-of-year list, While eloquently making a forecast list to grab traffic.

This year, the unavoidable heavy-hitters of traffic fall decisively on the two crews of "Atonement" and "Sweeney Todd".

The former lead actress, Keira Knightley, is a well-known English rose in Europe and America. The mainstream media has mixed reviews for her acting skills, and even tends towards two extremes.

People who like her can accept the flat chest that is inversely proportional to her beauty, and agree with her slightly cold acting style shown in her movies; people who don't like her have been attacking Keira Knightley's flat chest for ten years , in a sex scene with the male protagonist in "The Duchess" that the other party once starred in, he even used two "men" to have sex as a satire.The expressionless face, stiff eyes, and stiff hands and feet can be summed up as "I can't see the existence of such things as acting skills from her."

"Atonement" earned Keira Knightley her second Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress, but ahead of strong contenders such as Cate Blanchett, Marion Cotillard, and Julie Christie As a class of powerful actors, it is indeed uncertain whether Kate has a place in the five Oscar nominations.

Johnny Depp, the leading actor in "Sweeney Todd", not only has the extremely high-grossing "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" this year, which gave him a sense of presence throughout the summer vacation, but also a high-quality Olympic film that cannot be shaken by Johnny Depp. Depp's lowest bottom line - this buddy has a solid "captain" image as a guarantee, no matter what he plays in other movies, he is willful and free-spirited. This mentality allows Johnny Depp to win countless award seasons every year. Follow and predict votes.

That's right, it's a forecast ticket.Not only are magazine editors making wild lists themselves, but they also call on boring people to vote together.Although the final result cannot affect the college's review results, it can also reflect some problems——

Take a look at the polls, who is slacking off from filming this year?Who has made a good film this year and has reached the point where everyone knows?Who is the Oscar winner and actress that everyone is most looking forward to this year?

Two days later, the full list of nominees for the 80th Academy Awards was announced—everything was so unexpected but reasonable.

Ginger is still old and spicy, and the failure of Clint East-Wood and "The Rock of My Heart" at the Golden Globes did not affect his performance in the Oscar nomination list at all.Nine nominations, including Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Changed Screenplay, Best Director, Best Picture, Best Costume Design, Best Editing, and Best Cinematography, lead this year's Oscars .

Then there are eight nominations for "Preparation Blood" and seven nominations for "Michael Clayton". These three crews almost overlap with five or six major nominations, and the fierce competition is clear at a glance.

Vincent has been nominated for the Best Actor Oscar for the third consecutive year. In addition, he has the title of the youngest Oscar winner. Even if he does not win this nomination, it will not be a loss for Vincent .Of course, if he can win the award, it can only show that he has created a barrier-like record that is more difficult to break through for male actors all over the world.

This year's Oscar nominations for best picture are unsurprisingly divided among "Stone of My Heart", "Blood", "Atonement", "No Country for Old Men" and "Michael Crichton".It is also expected that these five films have been nominated. However, the dark horse "Juno" missed the best picture and best director, and only got nominations for best actress and best original screenplay. nominate.

In addition to Julian Schobel, who entered the nomination list for the first time in the best director nomination list, other nominated directors such as Clint Eastwood and Tony Gilroy are frequent visitors of the awards season.The film "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" directed by Julian Schobel not only won him a best director nomination, but also brought him three nominations for best adapted screenplay, best cinematography, and best film editing.

The rest of the show is the battle for the actors, with the Best Actress nominations on the line -- Cate Blanchett for "Elizabeth 2," Julie Christie for "Beautiful Flowers," Marion Cotillard Laura Linney's "La Vie en Rose," Laura Linney's "The Savages," and -- Eileen Page's "Juno."

Keira Knightley, who was rumored to be a must-have nominee before, lost to a girl who was just 20 years old. Even if her team and herself were silent, it was the media who made a fuss about it .

The tone of the Hollywood media can be ever-changing. Even if they were praising British actresses for their tough beauty like thorny roses one second, they can degrade this group of people into the dirt the next second.It is not the first time that Keira Knightley has been treated like this by the US media. She herself did not accept any interviews after the list of this year's Oscars came out. The attitude of not wanting to show up until the awards ceremony.

The nominations in the Best Actor category are even more exciting compared to the actress category next door—not to mention Daniel Day-Lewis and Tommy Lee Jones, who have already won the best actor statuette and have been nominated several times. It doesn't matter whether Vincent, who just turned 24 the day before the nomination, had already won the best actor trophy two years ago.Of the remaining two nominations, Johnny Depp is not only the box office elixir among actors, but also his second Oscar nomination for Best Actor.And George Clooney is also nominated for the second time in the actor department of the Oscar. He was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for "Good Night and Good Luck" before.

After the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony was cancelled, the Oscar Awards Ceremony announced that it would proceed normally, which to some extent stimulated the enthusiasm and expectations of movie fans and audiences around the world—at the end of February, more and more tourists from all over the world poured in In Los Angeles, although it is impossible to enter the Kodak Theater to watch the awards ceremony, going to the venue to feel the atmosphere is something that many people want to do.

After the nominations were announced, there was less than half a month left before the awards ceremony was officially held. During this time, Vincent's job was to confirm the dress, confirm the dress again, and confirm the dress for the last time.In addition to the film promotion of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", he will have almost no other work next year. This year plus next year's two full years, his original plan is to study and recharge.But the plan can never keep up with the changes. Frank brought him a new script, which can only be delayed until the second half of the year at the latest, and there is really no other way.

This is already the limit.

It is not only the waiting limit reserved for Vincent by the director and film production company there, but also the limit that Frank can tolerate the blank period left by Vincent's temporary retirement.

Vincent accepted it as soon as he saw it, and just sent an email to make an appointment with Stuster for courses and new projects after the spring. He had to complete the goals he set within a limited time, otherwise the result would be that he could not do well on both sides.

He didn't have much hope for this year's Oscars. Judging from the overall quality of "The Rock in My Heart", there is no defect. Clint Eastwood has a great chance of winning, but Vincent is different—— His 22-year-old status as the youngest actor brings not only a difficult barrier for other actors to break through, but also a barrier he has set up for himself.

His performance in "The Rock in My Heart" can be nominated for the best actor. This fact is actually not very different from the eyes of the academy judges and ordinary audiences. Everyone will take it for granted-a movie produced by the actor, It can't be worse than his award-winning movies, right?

But when the next emperor will be appointed, no one can speculate or predict anything through the data, after all, such things are impossible to say for sure.It may be three years later, five years later, or even ten years later, or 20 years later.

After Leonardo was completely finished from the "Road to Revolution" crew, he threw himself into a new job.After the list of Oscar nominations came out, he had been thinking about how to tell Vincent, because he saw very clearly that this year's best actor was not his lover.Although Leonardo knew that the other party would definitely be calmer than himself, he still felt that it was a pity that the non-positive protagonist image of "The Rock in My Heart" is definitely a classic in film history.

A few years ago, Vincent was nominated for the protagonist with a non-positive image in "To Cover Up". Although he regretted losing in the end, Leonardo believed that the problem did not lie in the protagonist's positive and negative attributes.

The role played by Daniel Day-Lewis in "Preparation for Blood" is also a bad and outright villain image, but since the end of last year, he has won the best actor trophies of various film critics awards. He also won the Best Actor trophy of the Ball Award and the Screen Actors Guild Award.

Throughout the history of film, there are not no actors who have won the best actor by playing the protagonist of the villain and negative image. Anthony Hopkins in "The Silence of the Lambs" and Denzel Washington in "Training Day" and last year's "The Last Dictatorship" "Forrest Whitaker all ranks again.

No matter how much the media predicts, it is empty talk, and the day to reveal the answer has finally come.Los Angeles, which is full of sunshine all year round, has a light rain today, covering this land that has not completely emerged from the rain of the screenwriter strike.

The Oscar awarding organization put up a special white roof to keep out the rain over the red carpet, and the audience who came to watch the ceremony almost filled the bleachers around the Kodak Theater, and the streets were also full of movie fans, their screams and The cheers can unilaterally ignite the atmosphere of the venue.
