MTL - Movie Master-Chapter 1047 be the first to fall behind
This year's best adapted screenplay department is really weak. From the beginning of the awards season, "The Departed Walker" has almost no rivals. Other candidates on the nomination list have been replaced one after another, but "The Departed Walker" still has the last laugh. that one. Therefore, the victory of "The Departed" tonight is also a matter of course, laying a solid foundation for this work to compete for the best film in the second half.
In comparison, the best original screenplay has shown a rare vitality this year. Lance, who has won the screenwriting nomination for three consecutive years, after dedicating such a wonderful work of "Fury Road", although the script is slightly weak, but The handling of details and the portrayal of the characters have still received numerous praises, and many people think that even if Lance occupies a position in the nominated seats, this is a matter of course. But the result is that "Fury Road" has never been able to show its competitiveness in the script department, and was eventually kicked out of the top five nominations of the American Screenwriters Guild and Oscar. This shows how fierce the competition in the original department is this year.
In the final list of nominations, "Babel", "The Queen" and "Little Miss Sunshine" are all contenders for the best picture, and their overall strength and momentum are far ahead of other competitors; the other two The competitors are "Letters from Iwo Jima" and "Pan's Labyrinth". Both works are the dark horses in the second half of the awards season. Stepping on the corpses of these two rivals at the last moment is the best picture nominee.
Among them, "Tiantian Tower" is one of the troikas, one of the biggest favorites to win awards tonight, almost leading the first half of the awards season, and it was not overtaken by "The Departed Walker" until the second half, but even so , at the Oscars, the number of nominations of "Babel" is also ahead of "The Departed"; Letters from the Island" and "Pan's Labyrinth", being able to overwhelm "Fury Road" is the best portrayal of strength and voice.
Compared with "The Departed Walker", the battle of "Babel Tower" is extremely dangerous, and almost every nominee has a chance to win.
After Tobey Maguire opened the envelope, he handed over the chance to his partner Christen to announce the winner. Christen glanced at the card, and then at Toby, with a slight smile on his lips, "The winner of the 79th Oscar for Best Original Screenplay is...'Little Miss Sunshine'."
The audience was stunned, accident? surprise? Dark horse? It is impossible to find an appropriate word to describe the shock at this moment! No wonder Toby’s expression was so meaningful just now. He is a close friend of Leonardo. The two awards he presented first rewarded the “Infernal Walker” and then repelled the “Babel Tower”. It can be said that it is for the “Infernal Walker”. Climbing to the top laid an important foundation.
After Best Supporting Actor, "Little Miss Sunshine" bagged Best Original Screenplay again - such a heavyweight award, and it was won after beating two heavyweights "Babel" and "The Queen" , This can be called the biggest "unpopularity" so far tonight. Although the list of winners of the Writers Guild of America has already predicted such a result, when the answer was actually revealed on the Oscar stage, the shock was still unstoppable. Stormy waves.
"Tiantian Tower", the first to fall behind! After missing out on Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Screenplay, although "Tiantian Tower" still has nominations in the three awards of director, editing and film, its competitiveness has plummeted. So far at the awards ceremony tonight, this Oscar's second most popular work has only won one award for best original soundtrack, and has lost to "Little Miss Sunshine" twice in head-to-head competition. Such a bad situation reminds people of On to "Dreamgirls." Obviously, after leading the first half of the awards season, this work has been weak in succession, especially after the nomination list was released, the main awards were in a difficult situation, and the momentum was also declining, which led to the bad situation tonight.
Of course, if "Tiantian Tower" can still make a difference in the best director and best film editing, it is not impossible to replicate the miracle of "Crash" last year, but "Babel" needs to encounter more than "Crash" Competitors who are several times stronger, Martin Scorsese for the best director award, and "Fury Road" for the best film editing award, are all insurmountable mountains. It can be basically confirmed that "Tiantian Tower" has officially withdrawn from tonight's ultimate showdown.
Halfway through the award ceremony, "Tiantian Tower", one of the troika, was the first to fall behind. Such a situation is absolutely unexpected-according to expectations, the three works are bound to have some fights. You will feel the powerful impact of "Pan's Labyrinth" and "Letter from Iwo Jima", and you will fall into a bitter battle; in the main department, you will face the head-on confrontation between "The Departed Walker" and "The Tower of Babel"... But obviously, these expectations have been invalidated Now, the sweeping army of the "Road of Fury" is in stark contrast to the retreat of the "Babel Tower". As a result, "Tongtian Tower" was out.
But the real surprise was the rise of Little Miss Sunshine. This work has missed the nominations for Best Director and Best Film Editing successively, and it has basically been considered uncompetitive. What's more, as an independent work, it has to face the extremely powerful "Queen". However, the trend of the awards ceremony was unexpected. "Little Miss Sunshine" pulled out her teeth one after another and won the two golden men for Best Supporting Actor and Best Original Screenplay. The two statuettes and "An Inconvenient Truth" go hand in hand, and even surpassed "The Departed" with two weight awards, becoming a direct competitor of "Fury Road".
In other words, the troika still exists, but "Little Miss Sunshine" replaced the "Babel Tower" and competed with "The Departed Walker" and "Fury Road". This reminds people of a shocking upset before the Oscars - the Producers Guild of America awarded Best Picture to..."Little Miss Sunshine"! Not "The Departed", not "Babel", and not "Fury Road", but "Little Miss Sunshine". "Affirmative.
However, after the American Producers Union announced the results, people generally believed that the victory of "Little Miss Sunshine" was due to the competition between the crane and the clam. It's really a bit of luck.
However, after reaching the Oscars, "Little Miss Sunshine" still had the last laugh in two important departments, and its momentum was even stronger than "The Departed", and it was completely comparable to "Fury Road". This...so, today Any more surprises tonight? Could it be that "Little Miss Sunshine" is going to counterattack all the way and become the first work in history not to win the best director nomination but win the best picture? So tonight's award ceremony will be interesting.
The two trophies in the script department found their respective winners, but they caused a turmoil. The situation of the entire awards ceremony suddenly changed drastically, but the palpitations had not had time to calm down, and then Kate Winslet walked onto the stage gracefully, She's about to hand out the last and most important award in the technical department: Best Film Editing.
Last year, "Crash" finally achieved an upset, it was the first to win the Best Film Editing Award, and then won the Best Picture Award in one go. This shows the importance of the award.
The competition for the Best Film Editing Award this year is extremely fierce. Five works, "The Departed", "Babel", "Blood Diamond", "Sons of Men", and "Fury Road" have been nominated and entered the final stage of the decisive battle .
Needless to say, the competitiveness of "Blood Diamond" and "Son of Men" is not a concern, and the troika for the best picture is the top priority. In fact, in the first half of the awards season, "Tiantian Tower" was able to lead, thanks to the dazzling editing, and received a lot of praise, but in the second half, it was overtaken by two competitors, especially "The Departed". It is also an important reason for the replacement of the leader position.
Tonight, the weight of the best film editing award is gradually increasing as the awards ceremony progresses, especially after "Babel" falls behind. "Last Chance.
The "Little Miss Sunshine", which has sprung up at the party, both missed the best film editing and best director awards, and the film did not win nominations in terms of actor and actress, which means that "Little Miss Sunshine" The biggest bargaining chip has been revealed, namely Best Supporting Actor and Best Original Screenplay, and the initiative has been handed over to competitors.
If "Fury Road" loses the Best Director and Best Film Editing awards consecutively, there is still hope for "Little Miss Sunshine"'s counterattack, and "The Departed" successfully wins the two little gold medals. If someone wins it, the best picture is likely to be born among these three works. The competition is fierce and unimaginable. The weight of the three trophies for the best adapted screenplay far exceeds other awards.
On the other hand, if "The Departed" fails to win these two trophies, then regardless of whether "Fury Road" wins or not, "Little Miss Sunshine" holding two core trophies will become the most popular. "Infernal Walker" will withdraw from the competition. Not only because "The Departed Walker" currently only has one trophy for best adapted screenplay, but also because "The Departed Walker" still cannot win without the nomination of "Little Miss Sunshine", the hope of the final competition will be like a bubble disappear.
Best Film Editing Award, this is a start, "The Departed" must win this award, and then go all out to fight for the Best Director Award, so that you can firmly control the advantages of the situation in your own hands, otherwise... otherwise there will be no " Then ".
"Tiantian Tower" has just fallen behind, and who would have expected that "Infernal Walker" will also be on the verge of falling behind, exciting, all this is really too exciting!
