在这一年之中可以发生很多的变化,去年的奥斯卡大奖被提名的是美国非常自信所出品的一部电影。最佳影片奖则是充满了智慧,离奇与纯粹为一体的纯娱乐性的影片:《社交网络》,《盗梦空间》,《大地惊雷》,《冬天的骨头》,《玩具总动员3》,《孩子们都很好》,《黑天鹅》等等,当然最后却是国王的演讲成为了最后的胜利者,正所谓鱼与熊掌是不可能同时得到的。十二个月之后,这个结果就完全不一样了。我们可以过滤一下二零一二年的提名名单,你有可能会对好莱坞一年前一下子出产了最优秀最大胆的电影,所以现在就没有什么新的作品了。
在各个提名的奖项之中也有一些具有恶评的作品,它们被指为水准不够。因此在提名作品中更多的有了除美国之外的电影中。五部最架动画片奖的提名之中,就有两部是来自美国之外的国家作品。
WHAT a difference a year makes. Last year’s Oscar nominees showcased the American movie industry at its most confident. The Best Picture category was stuffed with films that combined intelligence and quirkiness with sheer entertainment: “The Social Network”, “Inception”, “True Grit”, “Winter’s Bone”, “Toy Story 3”, “The Kids Are All Right”, “Black Swan”, etc. Of course, they were all beaten on the night by “The King’s Speech”, but you can’t have everything. Twelve months on, it’s a different matter. Scanning the 2012 nominations, you might suspect that Hollywood had used up its best and boldest films in one splurge a year ago, leaving it with little in reserve to get excited about now.
Dotted among the categories, there are nominations for several films which were widely panned, including “Transformers: Dark Of The Moon”, “Albert Nobbs”, Madonna’s dreadful “W.E.”, and “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close”, surely one of the worst reviewed films ever to get a Best Picture nomination. There are nominations for decent but frequently clichéd dramas: “Moneyball”, “Warrior”. There are nods to directors who may be at their most likeable, but who aren’t at their strongest: Martin Scorsese’s “Hugo” and Woody Allen’s “Midnight in Paris”. And some of the Best Picture nominations recall the bad old “Driving Miss Daisy” days when the Oscars went to any film which dealt with human cruelty in the most soft and sentimental fashion: “The Help” and “War Horse”.
To be fair, Hollywood has acknowledged its falling off in standards by giving more prominence than usual to films from other countries. Two of the five “Best Animated Feature” nominees are from outside America (for once, there’s no Pixar cartoon in the running). Iran’s “A Separation” is a surprising but deserving honoree in the Original Screenplay category. The frontrunner in the Best Picture category, among others, is “The Artist”, which may be set in Hollywood, and which may not have any French dialogue, but which is definitely a French film. You could even argue that “Hugo”, “War Horse” and “Midnight in Paris” are honorary foreign films, in that they’re all love letters to Europe.
It’s just a pity that the Academy didn’t cast its net even wider. It’s bewildering that the nominations don’t acknowledge “Melancholia”, “Shame” or “We Need To Talk About Kevin”, or even some of the more interesting American films of the past year, such as “Drive”, “Margaret”, or “Martha Marcy May Marlene”. But maybe we can take comfort in all of this. After a year when the Oscars seemed dangerously close to being relevant, it’s almost reassuring to see that normal service has been resumed.
Hollywood is located in the outskirts of Los Angeles, California, United States West Coast, is a yard, the scenery pleasant place.
