Will march through the ten-fold silent film nominated for the Academy Awards? What films have a chance against him?
Place in a few days the 84th Time the Academy Awards take place, and a movie seems to dominate this year's race for the coveted golden boy, won "The Artist" is already the major trade union rates of the U.S. film producers and directors. More explicitly: It would have been a little statistical or historical film wonders go, when the loving silent film revival is not awarded for the Best Director and Best Picture
However, there is a long Oscar night, not only from these two categories. Overall, "The Artist" is nominated for ten Academy Awards, and even if his two major victories are virtually guaranteed, nor are always open eight other categories. We take a look at the status quo and dare the great forecast: Is "The Artist" before a landslide? Or make him Steven Spielberg's "companion," Martin Scorsese's "Hugo Cabret" and Co. upset by this statement?
Best Original Screenplay
Favorite: Woody Allen for "Midnight in Paris"
Hot on the heels of Michael Hazanavicius for "The Artist"
While the Oscar-winning of "The Artist" in the film and director-class prices because of the union already has clearly apparent, the awards are not the authors' Union as an indicator. In addition to "The Artist" are the screenplays for "The Big Cash" and "Nader and Simin - a separation" is not nominated for the WGA Award because they were not written by union members. At the Oscars have scripts unionized writers, however, as great a chance of victory, as the works of "outsider". Most of the prices of the previous award-winning season for Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris", which has already won two Oscars in that category. And indeed for "The City € sufferers" and "Hannah and Her Sisters," which like "Midnight in Paris" also were nominated for best film. In a cinematic nostalgia dominated by Oscar-year would be Woody Allen's both melancholy and critical study of this subject a consistent winner.
But was the BAFTA, the UK's largest film award, Michel Hazanavicius surprisingly emerged as the winner of this category - and thus put through to his idol, Woody Allen also nominated. If at the BAFTA awards in the past ten years did not win the big favorite, this was done either in favor of Britain (Colin Firth's about victory for "A Single Man," opposite Oscar-winner Jeff Bridges, two years ago) or the non-British Surprise winner soon after repeated his luck at the Academy Awards.
That's not even the daring of such miscalculation, after it initially sounds. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences announced talks to members of their back always yes, but estimates of an overlap of about 20 percent from the BAFTA members. This makes the British Film Award not to most significant Oscar indicator, but if there awarded without any hint of parochialism a performance that suggested earlier, hardly anyone as Oscar hopes looking at that on a previously underestimated, through intra-industry valuation. Roman Polanski (director: "The Pianist") Marion Cotillard (Actress: "La Vie En Rose") and Alan Arkin (supporting actor, "Little Miss Sunshine") won a totally unexpected at the BAFTAs and was shortly thereafter to Oscar winners.
Best Production Design
Favorite: Dante Ferretti and Francesca Lo Schiavofür "Hugo Cabret"
Insider tip: Stuart Craig for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2»
Safe Tip: Laurence Bennett for "The Artist"
The big favorite in this category is "Hugo Cabret", behind the two-time Oscar winner Dante Ferretti ("The Aviator," "Sweeney Todd") infected and who, along with Francesca Lo Schiavo, a very detailed, sometimes historically accurate, some imaginative world . Oscar Historically, with films like "Titanic," "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King," "Avatar" and "Alice in Wonderland" has also proved that expensive scene pictures at the Academy members arrive frequently very good, and as far as this is Scorsese's mammoth work, with an estimated budget of 150 to 170 million up front. On top of that is characterized in recent years from a fondness for movies that combine digital arts and crafts from. Alternatively, should therefore also the 'Harry Potter' finale has some chances. These two Oscar nominees, it may be, the union won the prize of the Designer, each as best as the best historical and fantastic film.
Best Cinematography
Favorite: Emmanuel Lubezki for "The Tree of Life"
Hot on the heels of Robert Richardson for "Hugo Cabret"
Not be excluded: Jeff Cronenweth for "blindness," Janusz Kaminski for "companions"
The camera is one category, if you bring a spectator of the Oscars is sufficient interest, the more exciting, because rarely is a clear favorite to make out. The winner of the union of the American Society of Cinematographers Award for example, receives only about 50 percent of the cases also an Academy Award. It should be noted, however, that innovation has been recognized in this sector certainly, such as the awards for "Avatar," "Inception" or at the time, "Saving Private Ryan" proved. Pure aesthetics does not automatically win an Oscar, so the brilliant Roger Deakins, despite nine nominations are still waiting for an Academy Award must. Conscious stylistic recourse to earlier periods are more likely to take into account the union price, where they took the black and white films "The Man Who Was not There" and "The White Ribbon". "The Artist" This year, however, went away empty-handed.
Robert Richardson's work, "Hugo Cabret" by combining their 3D technology innovation ideas to a very timeless and classic aesthetics, making the most visually spectacular Scorsese film in this category to a serious candidate. But conceded Lubezki for the last few months, "Tree of Life" from almost any price for which he was nominated. His poetic images are ultimately the compelling element of this film - and it is now Lubezkis fifth Academy Award nomination. Evil tongues say yes, that Oscar voters give way at some point, so it is quite possible that Lubezki is this year not only for "Tree of Life", but also indirectly rewarded for his previous achievements.
Best Actor
Favorite: Jean Dujardin for "The Artist"
Unlikely but not impossible: George Clooney for "The Descendants - family and other matters"
In this category can be with regard to the SAG Awards, which honors the acting union, a similar prediction of safe working, as in the categories for best film and best director. Since the introduction of this award in 1995, 14 of the SAG winners also received an Academy Award for Best Actor. Benicio del Toro received after SAG win an Oscar, curiously, were for Best Supporting Actor in "Traffic" and three other performers at the Academy Awards empty-handed. Jean Dujardin has won the SAG Award and the BAFTA, so he could shake the hand of Russell Crowe, he should win an Oscar. Because it happened to Crowe for his starring role in "A Beautiful Mind", which instead was Denzel Washington for "Training Day". Dujardin worst competition is likely to be George Clooney, for "The Descendants" has won a Golden Globe, and this melancholy drama-comedy as much on his shoulders bears, as the jovial Frenchman, "The Artist" made it possible.
Best Original Score
Favorite: Ludovic Bource for "The Artist"
Insider tip: John Williams for "companions"
The big favorite among industry insiders is the award-winning for "The Artist" has already won a Golden Globe Ludvic Bource. His compositions are catchy, atmospheric and catch the spirit of a classic silent film tunes, but they also have a contemporary component that they can not seem stale. In addition, the music helps a lot in the narrative process, but replaced it in a way the dialogue of "The Artist". To some degree this is true also for John Williams' work in "companion". In general, each of the nominees this year can give a certain chance, but an Oscar for "The Artist" would be the least surprising.
Best Supporting Actress
Favorite: Octavia Spencer for "The Help"
Tip for brave Jessica Chastain on "The Help"
In this category there is an almost guaranteed winner: Octavia Spencer, for her role in "The Help" both received the award of the actors' union, as also won at the BAFTAs. McCarthy also stands out because of their very comedic role as a potential Oscar winner, while Bejo in "The Artist" is called for much less, as Spencer, Chastain or McTeer. And usually the more difficult to win, so to speak, demanding roles at the Academy Awards. Spencer should go without totally unexpected Oscar statuette home, they would most likely lose to her, "The Help" co-star, who also has a very multi-faceted role with intense, emotional moments.
Best Costume Design
Favorite: Mark Bridges for "The Artist"
Hot on the heels: Lisy Christl for "Anonymous" and Michael O'Connor for "Jane Eyre"
Also in this category, "The Artist" is not a guaranteed winner. Films set in the time and place on Queen Elizabeth's very expensive, flashy costumes, have almost become a tradition at the Oscars, which is why "Anonymous" has great potential. Even "Jane Eyre" combines high quality with quantity. It is therefore most likely to choose between these three films, the BAFTA-winning of "The Artist" pushing it a little in the favorite role. Very long film academies both decided differently, but since 2006 there was agreement on four occasions.
Best Editing
Favorite: Ann-Sophie and Michel Hazanavicius Bion for "The Artist"
Hot on the heels: Thelma Schoonmaker for "Hugo Cabret"
The Oscar for Best Editing went seven times since 2001 in the film, which also won in the main category. Three other times he went to an action-packed production ("Black Hawk Down," "The Aviator" with its central and expressive cut crash sequence, and "The Bourne Ultimatum"). Last year, sat down, "The Social Network" through to fight with the editor with David Fincher's perfectionism and his countless takes of each scene had. This year, many industry experts, "The Artist" mentioned as favorites, but background reports reveal, "Hugo Cabret" the immense work that approached Thelma Schoonmaker and Martin Scorsese, to perfect the 3D effect of their film. So if a film "The Artist" in this category may outperform, then this. But it would be more of an appreciation of the craft, rather than a Lobigung for the entire work, because "Hugo Cabret" is dramatically less rounded, as "The Artist".
