Applause or applause.

At the moment of Meryl Streep's crowning, the applause of the entire Kodak Theater continued to be endless, vast and vigorously sent high respect. Regardless of whether Meryl can win the Venetian Best Actress in the future, or whether Meryl can tie the four best actresses of Katharine Hepbum in the future, there is no doubt that Meryl has written her own legend.

It is precisely because Meryl's record at the Oscars is really outstanding that people jokingly call her "Oscar cancer". This is a joke, but it is also a recognition. Every actress's Oscars are the most important obstacle. Judging from the current situation, this name should have been with her for a while.

Meryl and Colin left the stage together, and the guests at the Kodak Theater finally came to their senses: What happened just now?

Viola Davis, the top winner in the award, encountered an upset. "Help" still only had one Best Supporting Actress tonight. Without the nomination for Best Actor and Best Director, "Help" can be basically confirmed and he has missed the Best Picture.

In other words, the battle between "Hugo", "artist", "descendants" and "Midnight Paris" has entered the final stage of bayonet success. For "Midnight Paris" and "Hugo", the best director is the last fight; for "artist" and "descendants", before the best director, the competition for the best actor will become an important level that will influence the direction of tonight's award ceremony.

Best Actor, the highly anticipated Best Actor.

People always say that maybe, the best actress occasionally has a Little New Year, and the actress may be lucky to reach the top, 21 years Sandra Brock, 2 years Marion Cotillard, 26 years Reese Witherspoon, 22 years Halle Berry, etc., all of them are; but this is not the case with Best Actor.

In the past ten years, the showdown and competition for the best actor of every Oscar are real materials. Only real strong men and overlords can stand out. After laughing to the end, the winner of the Little Golden Man in each session is undeserved and deserves its reputation and has been unanimously recognized.

Why is Sean Penn's status in Hollywood stands out? Why is Philip Seymour Hoffmann's reputation in the industry very solid? Why is Daniel Day Lewis not buying the college's public relations account?

The answers are the same: absolute victory above Oscars, especially after the concept of the 199 awards season was released, the college's public relations gradually began to rise, and these actors can still break through the siege and win the Oscars. The industry is definitely the winning weapon!

After experiencing the glory of Hollywood's peak in the 1960s and the turbulence of the business model gradually becoming popular in the 1980s, Hollywood's requirements and expectations for actors have gradually taken shape, such as actresses and male actors.

First of all, the age is the golden age of a male actor is thirty-five years old, or even after forty years old.

As of this year, in history, a total of 412 actors have been nominated for actors. Less than 10% of the actors who were nominated for actors for the first time were less than 30 years old, and the average age was 43 years old. This is in sharp contrast to actresses, at least half of the actresses were less than 30 years old when they won the nomination for the first time.

Among the twenty-two winners after the 1990s, the winners in the forty-year-old range were nine times, the winners in the forty-year-old range were four times, the winners in the forty-year-old range were eight times, and the only winners under the thirty-year-old were Adrian Brody, who reached the top for twenty years and twenty-three days.

Secondly, the appearance, the handsome face when he was young is no longer popular. The handsome guys like Malone Brando, Clark Gable, and James Steat who won the Little Golden Man in their early thirties have become history unless they get old.

The most typical representatives are Paul Newman, Peter Otto and Leonardo DiCaprio. Paul, who has been handsome all his life, won the first actor, Little Golden Man the next year after receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award; while Peter won eight nominations, but he won the brink of Little Golden Man after the New Century. Leonardo, who has become a resentful person after the New Century.

In recent years, the same has been true for Ryan Gosling, Jack Gyllenhaal, Jude Law, Ethan Hawk, etc.

The battle for the best actor this year is not inferior to the intensity, but the unspoken rules have broken the conventions of previous years and continued the Little New Year battle during the awards season.

George Clooney of "descendants", Brad Pitt of "the penalty kick turned into gold", Gary Oldman of "the potter, tailor, soldier, spy", Jean Dujardan of "artist", and Renly Hall of "crazy love".

All five nominees have the strength, and at the same time, all five nominees have the popularity. Whether it is pure paper strength or variable academy public relations, the gap between the five nominees is not as big as imagined; this is also known as the most intense and closest competition for the best actors in five years.

Five years ago, 27 years ago, Forest Whitaker defeated Peter Otto, the "End God of Love", the "Blood Diamond" of Leonardo DiCaprio, Will Smith, "When Happiness Comes Knocks the Door", and Ryan Gosling, the "Half Nelson" of Ryan Gosling, and successfully took off the only little golden man in his career.

Tonight, the competition is even more intense; but it is even more difficult to predict.

In terms of age, George and Gary in the fifty-year-old, Brad in the forty-year-old, Jean in the thirty-year-old, and Lan Li in the twenty-year-old, can be said to be all over the three generations of old, middle-aged and young people, and the coverage is so wide that it is really rare. In terms of appearance, except for Gary, the other four actors are recognized as handsome guys.

If you analyze these two aspects simply from these two aspects, Jean-Duyaldan and Renly Hall should be eliminated first: nomination is encouragement; while George and Brad are absolutely popular in winning the award, with both actors having the advantage of fame, connections, reputation and works.

But in fact, the process of the entire awards season has changed slightly or, in other words, earth-shaking changes.

After this year's awards season officially kicked off, two young actors, Renly Hall and Ryan Gosling, who emerged first in the battle for the best actors, especially when "Love Crazy" and "I Against Cancer" are being screened, Renly deserves to become the number one hot contestant.

Later, Ryan gradually fell behind, but Renly's powerful momentum continued.

"Love Crazy" is a private, personal, and intimate sketch, which has no advantage over other works. Moreover, the character played by Lan Li is not a real person, is not a terminal illness, is not a physical disability, is just an ordinary college student, and is even more ordinary than last year's "Blue Valentine's Day".

This doesn't seem to be any appeal to the Oscars.

However, Jacob, played by Lanley, awakens people's good memories of "Anne Hall": the Jewish young man played by Woody Allen is ordinary, ordinary, nagging, stingy, self-sexual, picky, and troublesome, but his body embodies the color of the entire society, presenting the real and beautiful appearance of love.

In terms of strength alone, Lanli has gained countless affirmations, and has complemented Michelle Williams, becoming a representative figure of this year's Y generation, and has given affirmation unanimously. Among the five actors on the Oscar nomination list, he has led the way! There is no doubt about this.

With the gradual advancement of the awards season and the competition gradually opened up, two backbone actors, George Clooney and Brad Pitt, entered the competition for the academy with their outstanding performance, and were in a fierce manner.

With the two works of "Descendants" and "President Killing Game", George, who once again created the peak of his career, his delicate and solid performance once again became the focus of attention. Especially Alexander Payne's "Descendants", gave George enough room to play and deeply explore. The excellent script undoubtedly helped a lot.

The title of "Hollywood President" is definitely not just a joke, which has also caused George's popularity and reputation to rise rapidly.

At the same time, Brad was not outdone. "Punishment is gold" was the first to appear. Many people called it this year's "weakness", stealing all the topics and attention, and once again showing his ambition and determination to polish his acting skills; then the "Tree of Life" emerged, with a large number of inner monologues and profound refraction discussions, which once again contributed to Brad's acting skills.

Objectively speaking, both works are a bit over the top, the script of "Punishment Got Gold" and the photography and director of "Tree of Life" are not a good thing for Brad. But overall, Brad's rise is also very fast.

Halfway through the awards season, the showdown of "George vs Brad" has become the biggest highlight of the awards season. Countless media and countless audiences are looking forward to the showdown between these two actors to see who can top the Oscar Awards.

After that, Jean-Duyald made efforts in the future.

"Artists" have been released in film festivals around the world, and it was not until the end of November and early December that it was launched in the North American market, with previews, expansions and releases. The reputation gathered by major film festivals gradually created momentum for the promotion of works and seized the focus. Over time, all aspects of "Artists" gradually caught up and became one of the hottest shows in the awards season.

As the leading actor, Jean-Duyaldan's personal charm and outstanding performance are indelible.

An "artist" successfully made Jean-Duyaldan a sexual/sensual man that women all over the world admire. His handsome appearance, elegant and classical temperament, and romantic French accents made him recreate the glory of the top superstars of the Golden Age. Even the downs and dilemmas in real life coincide with the times and images in the "artist" story, and it is almost difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

Finally, it was Gary Oldman's Jedi reversal.

Gary was nominated for almost all important outposts, but with the concentrated public relations of Focus Pictures during the sprint stage, he won the first Oscar nomination in his personal career as a spy. In history, he only relied on the role of a spy to be a finalist in the final battle circle of the best actors.

As a result, the Oscar nominated for the top five is released.
