After the announcement of the list of nominees for the 66th Oscars, Hugo was nominated for the first time in his career as an actor, which is undoubtedly one of the biggest topics, all the previous controversies and discussions have settled, Hugo won the nomination for Best Supporting Actor, then, the focus of the next discussion is, can Hugo complete the counterattack and finally win the Best Supporting Actor?

In terms of the depth and brilliance of the performances, Hugo's performance in Schindler's List is undoubtedly the best among all competitors, even if it is placed in 1993, it is one of the best performances. However, the pincer attack formed by Leonardo DiCaprio from "Different Sky ......" and Tommy and Lee Jones from "The End of the World" made the final winners covered in a layer of fog and confusion, especially the absolute level of performance of these two competitors in the works is not inferior to Hugo, which makes the final result of the award ceremony more and more uncertain.

Of course, Hugo, as an actor, only won a nomination, and in terms of topicality, it is naturally not as strong as the overall work.

Schindler's List received twelve nominations, and that's what makes it even more noticeable; At the same time, "Farewell to Love" has also carried over the standoff that began in November to the Oscars, and it can be seen that Columbia Pictures' recent promotional strategy has played a decisive role.

After the release of "Farewell to Love", it has experienced a process of ups and downs, from the very beginning of the word-of-mouth explosion, almost everyone is praising this year's "Howard Manor" director James Ivori has contributed wonderful works for the second year in a row, and it also continues the director's consistent excellent reputation; But after that, "Farewell to Love" fell into a continuous stream of negative news, and even the direct director of the film had to be removed from the theater, which once cast a heavy shadow on the prospect of the director at the year-end awards ceremony.

However, Columbia Pictures' subsequent adjustment policy also showed an excellent background, while controlling the further spread of negative news, it once again arranged a small-scale screening of "Farewell to Love", relying on the strong strength of the work to gradually win the hearts of the audience and the academy judges. This is also a constant truth in society, hard power can always be recognized, all that is needed is the right packaging and accurate marketing.

In the end, "Farewell to Lovers" achieved a reversal on the Oscar nomination list when the entire public opinion and word of mouth were not optimistic, and won eight nominations, becoming the most powerful opponent of "Schindler's List" in this Oscar journey.

"Farewell to Love" won eight nominations: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, and Best Soundtrack.

These eight nominations overlap with "Schindler's List" by seven, except for Best Actress, the other nominations will be in a head-to-head showdown with "Schindler's List", which also means that there is a life-and-death competition between the two, and sure enough, as expected by the media, the confrontation between the two works has been fully formed, continuing the previous grim confrontation situation.

Whether it is from the subject matter or the depth of thought, including the degree of completion, the excitement of the performance, as well as the topicality, focus and heat, etc., "Schindler's List" and "Farewell to Lovers" are undoubtedly the works that are most in line with the taste of the academy judges, and the level and quality of both are also in line with such a height, and the formation of the whole confrontation situation is completely popular with the people.

It can also be seen from here that Tracy's vision is vicious, last year Tracy missed the "Schindler's list", after a short period of adjustment, he chose "farewell to the love day" Whether it is Mike Nichols, or James Ivory, it shows a deep heritage, and Tracy can seize this opportunity to form a confrontation with "Schindler's list", which also shows her strong strength.

Last year's "Howard Manor" received nine nominations, and finally won the best actress, the best adapted screenplay, and the best art direction.

Judging from the current situation, although it is very difficult to complete the final reversal of "Farewell to Love", it is not impossible. The first is that as long as you are nominated, the possibilities are endless; Secondly, because the overall strength of "Farewell to the Sentient Heaven" also has enough background to compete with opponents.

So, after "Farewell to Love" won eight nominations, it suddenly made the 66th Oscars start to get interesting.

In addition to "Farewell to Love", "Piano Farewell" has also become the biggest dark horse at this Oscars, the third work directed by female director Jane Campion, won the recognition of the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, and was unanimously praised by film critics at the major awards ceremonies at the end of the year, and finally made a huge breakthrough at the Oscars and completed the transformation.

"Piano Love" also received eight nominations, tied for second place with "Farewell to Love", becoming the most eye-catching in the nomination stage after "Schindler's List", Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Editing, and other eight nominations, making "Piano Love" almost a collection of thousands of favorites.

However, compared with "Farewell to Love", the impact of "Piano Love" on "Schindler's List" is obviously much weaker, on the one hand, because the competition for "Piano Love" is more focused on Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Screenplay, which is completely misplaced with "Schindler's List"; on the other hand, because of Jane Campion's status as a female director, winning the Best Director nomination is already a breakthrough, and it is even more difficult to further form a confrontation; In the end, there is still a gap because of the thickness of the subject matter itself.

But even so, the miracle of "Piano Love" is still enough to impress everyone.

In addition to "Schindler's List", "Piano Farewell" and "Farewell to Love", "In the Name of the Father" and "The Outlaw" followed with seven nominations, the former has a strong competition for acting awards, and the latter's advantages in the best supporting actor and technical departments cannot be ignored.

"The Age of Innocence" and "The Philadelphia Story" each had five nominations, but for the "Age of Innocence", losing the nominations for Best Picture and Best Director successively was undoubtedly a lonely journey; Instead, "The Philadelphia Story" recreates director Jonathan Demmi without anyone noticing. de-e) The pomp and circumstance of the work "The Silence of the Lambs" two years ago.

In addition, commercial films such as "Jurassic Park", "Sniper in the Line of Fire", "Mighty Mountains", and "Sugar-Coated Trap" have also been nominated and recognized, while the "My Fair Daddy" at the Golden Globe Awards has returned empty-handed, and the weakness of comedy movies is still powerless to change.

However, whether it is the nomination of the technical department or the nomination of other departments, it can be seen that the Oscars do want to find a more suitable balance between business and art, which is undoubtedly one of the highlights of this year's Oscar nomination list.

This situation is actually similar to the struggle and hesitation of the Grammys, which will also become a problem that all award ceremonies must face. However, from the current point of view, the Oscars are obviously much older than the Grammys, and after the announcement of the list of nominees, not only did not cause controversy, but on the contrary, it also aroused people's enthusiasm.

It is worth mentioning that the chick movie "Sleepless in Seattle", which fought its way through the North American film market last year, was also recognized by the Academy, and the two nominations for Best Original Screenplay and Best Original Song made the news media that had previously questioned the chick movie shut their mouths.

In particular, the nomination for the best original screenplay has once again made people see Nora Ephron as a talented woman, this is the third time she has been shortlisted for the Oscar competition for the award after "The Silk Cow Incident" and "When Harry Met Sally", two of which are chick movies, which undoubtedly completely changed people's fixed impression of chick movies, although chick movies are romantic comedies that lock women, but love is an indispensable part of life, and many truths in life can be read from love.

Nora proved to people with her practical actions that chick movies can be made into classics, and the focus is never on the subject matter itself.

The only pity is that Hugo's excellent performance in "Sleepless in Seattle" failed to break out of the encirclement and failed to compete for Best Actor, which can definitely be called a pity.

But even so, after the list of nominees came out, Hugo's ability to select works still made people shine, "Schindler's List" won 12 nominations, and "Sleepless in Seattle" was also recognized by 2 nominations; On top of last year's Oscars, "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman" won four nominations, and finally fulfilled the long-cherished wish of Al and Pacino, and "Yihai Xiongfeng" also received four nominations, including a nomination for Best Picture.

Since "Hudson's Eagle" won the Golden Raspberry Award, Hugo has achieved a full recovery, and the four works have been a huge success, not only a huge success at the box office, but also a full affirmation from the academy at the awards ceremony, not to mention his acting reputation that has risen step by step, in the past two years, everyone has witnessed Hugo's strong comeback, which is absolutely wonderful.

Although only the list of Oscar nominees has been released, the heated discussion between the media has slowly unfolded, and the competition for this Oscar is full of infinite possibilities, whether the "Schindler's list" will continue strongly to the end, or the "farewell to the love sky" to complete the counterattack, or other dark horses are born, which is indeed full of countless suspense, and at the same time, it also allows people to see that the American film market, which has been silent for several years, is gradually showing signs of re-emerging.

1993 is not only a strong return of rock music, but also the frequent release of excellent works in the film market also makes people see hope, people have reason to believe that the music market and film market in 1994 will contribute more wonderful masterpieces, and the fierce competition for the 66th Oscar is not only a summary of 1993, but also can be seen as a wonderful beginning of 1994.
