The awards season in 2011 was in chaos, the biggest chaos in history! According to the practice of previous years, after the Golden Globe Awards, the overall trend and context of the Oscars have come to the surface, ready for the third stage of sprint and competition, but this year is not the case, the pattern is not more clear, but more chaotic!

The three major wind vanes of the Oscars, namely, the North American Radio Film Critics Association Award, the American National Review Association Award and the Golden Globe Award, all have different awarding trends. Even the nomination list is a chaotic battle, which makes everyone break their glasses.

The North American Radio Film Critics Association Awards awarded the best film and best director to "artist", the best actor to "love crazy" Langley hall, and the best actress to "help" Viola Davis.

The National Review Association Awards both best picture and best director went to Hugo. The best actor chose "shame" Michael faspin, and the best actress chose "we need to talk about Kevin" Tilda Swinton.

The best film of Golden Globe Award belongs to "posterity" and "artist", the best director belongs to Martin Scorsese of "Hugo", the best actor is George Clooney of "posterity" and Jean duyaldan of "artist", the best actress is Meryl Streep of "Iron Lady" and Michelle Williams of "a week with Monroe".

Stagger, stagger all! The whole media and professionals have been shocked! In the list of winners in previous years, it is natural for one or two awards to be staggered or not to coincide. Even if it is popular, it may be a dark horse, otherwise the award season will be meaningless; But this year, so perfect, so neatly staggered, it is simply appalling!

In addition to the three major weathervanes, the five major trade unions in the American film industry - the producers' Union, the editors' Union, the writers' Union, the directors' Union, and the actors' Union also present the same row of chaos. At present, the five major trade unions have only announced the nomination list, but have not yet given awards, which is also the top priority of the third stage of college public relations, but only the nomination list, which is full of confusion.

Among the ten nominated works of the American producers' Union, "artist", "posterity", "Hugo", "help", "girl with Dragon Tattoo", "crazy love", "tree of life", "war horse", "anticancer me" and "Bridesmaid" were successfully shortlisted.

This also means that the three works of "the president killed the game", "midnight Paris" and "penalty becomes gold" are all out, among which the defeat of "midnight Paris" has triggered an earthquake like repercussion.

American editors Union, plot films, "artist", "posterity", "help", "girl with Dragon Tattoo" and "President killed" were shortlisted, and "Hugo" was out; Music comedy films, "a week with Monroe", "cancer fighting me", "midnight Paris", "artists" were shortlisted, and "bridesmaids" were out.

Among them, "Hugo" lost the election, the whole industry took a breath of cool air.

American directors' Union, Alexander Payne of "posterity", "Martin Scorsese of Hugo", "Woody Allen of" midnight Paris "," Terrence Malick of "tree of life" and Steven Spielberg of "warhorse", successfully won the nominations.

Correspondingly, George Clooney, the president's killer, Michelle Hazanavicius, the artist, and David Finch, the girl with Dragon Tattoos, are out one after another. As a dark horse in the award season, Michelle, who is not well-known, seems to be showing signs of decline.

American actors union, best actor, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Randy hall, Hoover, and demlian bichir are among the top five nominees.

The artist's Jean Jardine is out, the president's murderer and the runaway driver's Ryan Gosling are out, and the shameful Michael Fassbender is out.

Best actress, Meryl Streep of iron lady, Viola Davis of help, Michelle Williams of my week with Monroe, Tilda Swinton of we need to talk about Kevin, and felicity Jones of crazy love are all shortlisted.

Glen cross, who is not able to distinguish between male and female, and Rooney Mara, who is the girl with dragon tattoo, are both out.

American Writers Union, the best original screenplay, "midnight Paris", "cancer fighting me", "crazy love", "Teenagers", "bridesmaids" were shortlisted, and "artists", "a farewell", "desperate driving" and other works were all out. It is worth mentioning that the nominations of "crazy love" and "anti-cancer me" have attracted a lot of attention.

The best adapted screenplay, "posterity", "girl with Dragon Tattoo", "Pot Maker, tailor, soldier, spy", "Hugo" and "penalty gold" won the nomination. Correspondingly, "President's death", "my week with Monroe" and "help" all failed. The most shocking thing is undoubtedly the loss of "help", which is a great shock.

see things in a blur! Absolutely dazzling! There are more than 20 works appearing in turn, which can hardly be counted. "Midnight Paris" is absent from the nominations of American producers' Union, "Hugo" is absent from the nominations of American editors' Union, "artist" is absent from the nominations of American directors' Union, "help" is absent from the nominations of American writers' Union, "dragon tattooed girl" is absent from the nominations of American actors' Union

The only exception is "posterity". This work has successfully received all the nominations from the five major trade unions. In addition to the nominations from the three major wind vanes of the Oscars, "posterity" has quietly come to the fore and become the most popular player in this year's award season!

But!

Under such a chaotic situation this year, there is always a "but". No one is safe, no one is strong and no one is certain“ Artists, help, Hugo and midnight Paris, which are slightly ahead of others in the early stage, have not been able to do so.

New York Film Critics Association Award, nominated; Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award, no nomination; Boston Film Critics Association Award, nominated; The old Jinshan Film Critics Association Award was not nominated; Seattle Film Critics Association Award, no nomination; Houston Film Critics Association Award, no nominations.

Obviously, "posterity" is not popular in the eyes of the Film Critics Association. To be exact, many people don't like it.

In addition to the three major wind vanes of the Oscars and the five major trade union awards in the United States, the Film Critics Association Awards, large and small, are also on the stage. Some awards have been presented early, while others are still waiting for the outbreak of the third stage. But the information available shows a chaotic pattern.

One of the most bizarre is that the best picture nominations of the Boston Film Critics Association and the old golden hill Film Critics Association are completely staggered, and there is no overlapping option!

This is not a good thing, at least not a good thing of letting a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend, but a farce of falling into chaos. This year's chaotic war pattern is really very sad.

There is no leader, no first group, or even no strong seed player. After two stages of scuffle, the situation is still chaotic, and there is no clear sign of the pattern. The separatist regime of the spring and autumn and Warring States period directly led to the chaos and noise of the academy public relations in the award season. All kinds of negative news and various means of public relations emerged one after another.

In such a chaotic situation, this has also aroused more and more concerns of major media: is this a good thing or a bad thing for generation Y? Are heroes born out of chaos or are the younger generation annihilated again? Furthermore, is this positive or negative for the future development of the film industry?

Last year, the "King's speech" defeated the "social network", and the whole college was in a state of anxiety; This year, it is such a mess, facing new challenges, is the film industry really beginning to decline? Is the impact and disaster brought by the Internet age and fast food culture finally starting to ferment?

All the confusion, all the controversy, all the confusion, all the expectations, with the release of the Oscar nomination list, finally the dust settled, to a paragraph!

As never before, the announcement of the Oscar nomination list has attracted so much attention and attention, not because of the giant "Avatar" this year, or the gimmick of "social network" versus "the king's speech", but because people can't wait to end the chaos and skip the farce of the Academy's public relations during the award season, Really into the third stage of the sprint.

No matter who is selected, no matter who is not selected, no matter who is happy, no matter who is sad, the important thing is that the chaotic war situation has come to a stage for a while, the order becomes clear again, and then go hand in hand towards the Oscar. For a small number of people, they can't even wait to end the disaster of this year's awards season.

The 84th academy awards may be famous in history, but not in a cheerful way.

This year's College nomination list is solemnly announced under such expectation and attention!

"Artist", "Hugo", "help", "posterity", "midnight Paris", "penalty kick into gold", "special sound, very close", "tree of life", "war horse".

A total of nine works have been shortlisted for the best picture nomination list this year, and they have been successfully killed in the chaotic war, such as "the girl with Dragon Tattoo", "Bridesmaid", "anti-cancer me" and "the president's death".

Among them, "artist", "Hugo", "help", "posterity" and "midnight Paris" continued their overall advantages in the chaos and were successfully shortlisted“ "War horse" and "penalty into gold" in the last moment, took the last bus“ In the first half of the period, without any publicity, the tree of life completed its reversal in the second sprint stage.

"Especially loud, very close" has become the biggest dark horse in the nomination stage. This film, invested by Warner Bros. and produced by Scott Rudin, is blessed by Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock. It reexamines the harm caused by the "9 / 11 incident" from a child's perspective. Before the Golden Globe Award, this work is almost unknown, but it relies on strong college public relations, It has achieved a turnaround and successfully stood out in the chaotic war.

Just from the top nine list of best pictures, we can see the overall decline of this year's Oscars. On the whole, the reputation and quality of "posterity", "help", "Hugo" and "artist" are slightly ahead, but the momentum is flat. Even on the award ceremony, "special sound, very close" all the way back to the end, it is not impossible.

This, in the end is to celebrate? Or should we lament?

The best picture nomination list is just the tip of the iceberg, and there are still countless pitfalls in the list of other nominees.
