The 52nd Golden Globe Awards was stole the limelight by the Sundance Film Festival, and the list of winners was also criticized a lot. The best actor in the musical comedy category, Kim Carrey, lost to Hugh Grant. The best actor in the category Hugo Lancaster lost to Tom Hanks, and the best foreign language film "Blue, White and Red Trilogy Red" lost to "Peerless Enchantress" and so on. Among them, the drama category The actor's debate is undoubtedly the most.

It's not that Tom Hanks' performance in "Forrest Gump" is not good enough, it's just that relatively speaking, Hugo's "Pulp Fiction" is more worthy of praise. This also makes the competition for the Oscar winner one of the biggest highlights.

The Oscar nominees for Best Actor duplicate the four nominees for Best Actor in a Drama at the Golden Globes, Tom Hanks for "Forrest Gump", Morgan Freeman for "The Shawshank Redemption" , Paul Newman in "Nobody's a Fool," Hugo Lancaster in "Pulp Fiction."

The competition of these four actors is undoubtedly one of the biggest highlights. The intensity of the competition easily kills the other three acting departments in seconds, which is undoubtedly the focus of everyone's attention.

Tom, who was crowned the best actor last year, is aggressive again this year, and the coronation of the Golden Globe Award has also become his biggest bargaining chip; the veteran actor Paul once again gave a wonderful performance. Not long ago, he also won the best actor title at the Berlin Film Festival for the trip to the Oscars. Contributing to the building; Morgan, who was nominated for acting in 1987 and 1989, is now in full swing, and his calm, restrained but rhythmic performance style has won countless applause.

Then there is Hugo, the representative of the new generation. The delicate yet humorous, exaggerated but not out of control performance in "Pulp Fiction" won a lot of applause. The Cannes Best Actor is the best proof. "Le's List" won the Best Supporting Actor Golden Man, but compared to Tom, who won the Best Actor award last year, Hugo, who once again proved himself by a wonderful performance this year, still has a relatively obvious advantage.

It can be said that the competition between Tom and Hugo is the main theme, but the impact of Morgan should not be underestimated. Even if Morgan wins, it is not considered unpopular. Although Paul, who has entered the Hall of Fame at this time, is slightly less powerful, he is definitely not. escort. The competition between these four actors is full of sparks and who will die. It was an unknown mystery until the moment the awards were announced, even the academy judges could not know.

In addition to these four actors, the other seat nominated for the Oscar for best actor belongs to "The. Madness. Of. King. George", the British that did not receive a single nomination at the Golden Globe Awards. The work, however, achieved a major reversal at the Oscars, winning three important nominations for Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Adapted Screenplay.

Actor Nigel - Hawthorne (Nigel. Hawthorne) was nominated, and Brad Pitt, who was nominated for Best Actor in a Drama Series at the Golden Globe Awards, was out.

This is undoubtedly an interesting situation. When the Golden Globe nominees came out, many critics believed that Aidan Quinn, who performed better in "The Burning Years", was better than Brad. Should be shortlisted, Brad was reluctantly nominated because of the popularity of "Interview with the Vampire".

Now, the Oscars are proving that point with a list of nominees, too.

People were looking forward to another showdown between Hugo and Brad, but now it seems: Brad still has a way to go before he can challenge Hugo head-on.

In addition to the best actor department, the competition of the other three acting departments is obviously inferior and generally lacks some highlights. "Crazy King George" and "Bullets Over Broadway", the two works that were neglected at the Golden Globes, shined in the Oscar's acting department, which has also become the most important competition in the acting department in addition to the best actor. The only bright spot outside.

Relatively speaking, the director department and the script department will be much more lively.

"The Shawshank Redemption" doesn't get any recognition for its directing prowess, which is mostly affirmed even two decades later, and the work's bright spot has never been on director Frank Darabont. Robert Zemeckis of "Forrest Gump" and Quentin Tarantino of "Pulp Fiction" joined forces with Robert Redford of "Behind the Scenes".

Although the number of nominations for "Behind the Scenes" is not as high as that for "The Shawshank Redemption," the quality of all four nominations is very high, which is one of the reasons why the best picture competition is heating up.

The other two spots for best director went to Woody Allen for "Bullets Over Broadway" and Krzysztof Kieslowski for "Red, Blue, White and Red." Although these two works both failed to be selected for the best picture, and were counterattacked at the last moment by "The Shawshank Redemption", "Four Weddings and a Funeral", there is no doubt about the quality of the two works, especially for the Oscars. Woody Allen, who is disdainful, but the Academy has never been stingy with his appreciation, "Bullets Over Broadway" also won seven nominations, including three acting nominations, one director nomination and one script nomination, an absolute heavyweight.

The competition between the five top directors is not inferior to the best picture posture, especially the two directors who are absent from the best picture competition are strong enough to be on an equal footing with the other three nominees. From this perspective, the competition for best director is even tougher than best picture and best actor.

The degree of enthusiasm in the script department is reflected in the fact that nine of the ten nominations in the two departments of adaptation and originality are the big hits of this year's Oscars, and they are also the classic works of 1994.

The five nominations for Best Original Screenplay belonged to "Pulp Fiction," "Bullets Over Broadway," "Four Weddings and a Funeral," "Red from the Blue, White, and Red Trilogy" and "Angel of Sin (Heavenly. Creatures)" ". In addition to "Angel of Sin", the scripts of the other four works have received countless praises, and they are also the solid foundation for the great success of the movie, which can definitely be called a bayonet competition.

Even for "Angel of Sin", this work has a lot of background. This is a work written and directed by Peter Jackson (Peter. Jackson), who will rely on the "Lord of the Rings" series to become famous all over the world in the future, and Kate Winslet can be seen in the starring lineup.

The five best adapted screenplays were "Forrest Gump," "Crazy King George," "Nobody's a Fool," "Behind the Scenes," and "The Shawshank Redemption." The nominated works are all works that have won important recognition at the Oscars. The least nominated "No one is a fool" has only two nominations in hand - the other is Paul Newman's best actor, but the strength is not. Can not be ignored.

The most incredible thing in this department is the presence of Hugo.

Just like the Golden Globe Awards not long ago, Frank still reported Hugo's name when he signed up, so Hugo appeared on the staff list of "The Shawshank Redemption" as a screenwriter. This caused a heated discussion among many people.

When the nominations for the Golden Globes were announced before, people mostly watched the excitement, but now it's different. "Before Sunrise" was enthusiastically sought after at Sundance, and after its release, it won the love of countless audiences. Among them, Hugo was unanimously praised as the screenwriter. All of this proves that Hugo is gifted with screenwriting.

So Hugo's appearance in the Oscar nomination list as a member of the "Shawshank Redemption" screenwriting team is not only lively, but also an affirmation of strength. People can't help but wonder if "Before Sunrise", who missed this year's competition time, can appear in next year's Oscar nominations.

The fierce competition in several important departments has also made countless people look forward to this Oscars ceremony. Compared with last year's duel between "Schindler's List" and "Farewell to the Lovely Heaven", the pattern of competition this year is obviously different. More surprises also make people more curious about the trend of the results.

It is worth mentioning that "Interview with the Vampire" and "The Burning Years", which have been hyped countless times before, are obviously not comparable to "Pulp Fiction" at the Oscars. "Burning Years" is not bad, won three nominations for best photography, best art direction, and best sound; and "Interview with the Vampire" has two nominations for best art direction and best soundtrack, but at the same time They also took home a raspberry trophy - worst partner for Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise.

This also triggered another round of ridicule in the "Chicago Tribune", "This is good, Brad, Tom and Hugo are on the same track again. But unfortunately, they don't have Hugo's courage."

Both Brad and Tom were absent from the Raspberry Awards - to be precise, apart from Hugo's shocking acceptance, no one was willing to attend the Raspberry Awards for the next three years.

From this level, it once again proved that Brad still has a huge gap to fight against Hugo. A "Pulp Fiction" blows almost all of its competitors. However, Hugo's precise vision for film selection is also reflected in another work, "The Speed ​​of Life and Death".

Although this simple popcorn commercial film failed to compete for the main Oscar awards, it has been generally recognized on the technical level. Nomination, this is the best affirmation of "speed of life and death".

The Los Angeles Times commented on the nomination list, "Following last year's Steven Spielberg, this year Hugo Lancaster is proving his formidable presence in his own way."

Last year, Steven Spielberg wrote "Schindler's List" and Wu has "Jurassic Park"; this year, Hugo wrote "Pulp Fiction" and Wu has "speed of life and death". interesting. It's just that last year Steven achieved a big victory, so can Hugo replicate this result this year?

With such anticipation, the Oscars ceremony kicked off!
