The 42nd Academy Awards came to an end and became the annual focus of the Chinese film industry. "Goldfinger" and "Under the White Sun" are the big hits of this year, and a contest about quantity and quality is staged between these two films, which has aroused widespread attention and discussion.
"Goldfinger" won 6 awards with 11 nominations at this year's Academy Awards, showing its all-round strength in production and acting. It is particularly worth mentioning that Tony Leung once again won the Best Actor for his wonderful performance in "Goldfinger", which is the sixth time he has won this award, setting a new record for the Academy Awards.
However, Tony Leung was unable to attend the award ceremony in person, but expressed his gratitude through a video link, with his wife Carina Lau accepting the award on his behalf, adding a special emotional touch to the evening.
At the same time, although "Under the White Sun" only won 3 awards, it won several heavyweight awards, including Best Actress, showing the high recognition of the film's artistic achievements by the judges.
Yu Xiangning won Best Actress for the first time for her outstanding performance in the film, and her victory is seen as the rise of a new generation of acting schools. And David Kang won Best Supporting Actor, which is not only a recognition of his long-term contribution to his film career, but also an appreciation for his profound interpretation in the film.
During the awards ceremony, Sammi Cheng's arrangement of presenting the Best Actress award to Yu Xiangning caused a lot of discussion. As the queen of the last Academy Statue, Sammi Cheng has been nominated many times without success, and this time the arrangement was interpreted by many viewers as a dramatic contrast.
In addition, "Removing the Three Evils" won Best Asian Chinese-language film, and the film, which cost only 10 million yuan, won unanimous praise from the industry for its excellent word-of-mouth and box office performance.
The end of the 42nd Academy Awards is not only an affirmation of the film works of the past year, but also a demonstration of the diversity and depth of Chinese films. Although some voices have pointed out that the influence of the Academy Awards is no longer there, such controversy also reflects the spirit of self-reflection and pursuit of excellence in the Chinese film industry. The contest between "Goldfinger" and "Under the White Sun" is not only the winner of the award, but also a revelation for the future development direction of Chinese films.
