With almost a week to go until the Oscar nominations are announced, the two awards known as the "Oscar weather vanes" have already been awarded.
The Golden Globes and Critics' Choice Awards have laid the foundation for this season, and with various professional awards, oscar nominations have become a bit chicken.
Because which movies can finally win the little golden man, you can directly predict a wave.
(1) Best Picture
Big Hit: "The Land of NoBody";
Strong contenders: Mank, Borat 2.
With the Venice Golden Lion, the Golden Globe For Best Picture in a Drama Series, and the Critics' Choice Award for Best Picture, "One Place" has become the closest film to the Oscar for Best Picture, and there is no one.
This year's main competitors, "Mank," "Borat 2," and then "The Trial of the Seven Gentlemen of Chicago," are mostly from the streaming camp.
Just like last year's "The Irishman" and "Marriage Story" did not work, this year's situation is likely not to change much because of special circumstances.
Moreover, the producer of "No Man's Land", Searchlight Pictures, has always been a big Oscar winner.
(2) Best Director
Big Hit: Zhao Ting;
Strong contender: David Finch.
Zhao Ting did everything a director should do.
She presents the characters with pure lenses and can delve into the themes of man and nature. Compared with her previous works, "The Land of No One" is more pure and pure, and it really has the strength to seize the little gold man.
The non-negligible competitor is David Finch, whose Mank is described in one word, steady. The Oscars owe him one of the best directors, and this year it was another chance to make amends.
Only this time is bound to be a "year of female directors", and Emmarie Finnell and Regina King, who were nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, are bound to divert a certain number of votes, and it is no wonder that Zhao Ting can beat David Finch in the awards season and win many film critic awards for best director.
(3) Best Actor
Big Hits: Chadwick Bosman;
Strong contenders: Anthony Hopkins, Ritz Ahmed.
Both the Golden Globes and the Critics' Choice Awards gave the film to Chadwick Bosman, who tragically passed away last year.
Oscar's emotional share is still a suspense, anyway, "Father" Anthony Hopkins and "Sound of Metal" Ritz Ahmed still have some hope.
Anthony Hopkins plays the Father of Alzheimer's disease, and Ritz Ahmed plays the deaf drummer, and their roles have huge room for expression.
The Screen Actors Guild Awards, presented on April 4, will have important instructions for the competition of movie emperors.
(4) Best Actress
Big hit: This one is not accurate;
Strong contenders: Carey Mulligan, Francis McDormand, Vanessa Kirby.
The Golden Globes gave and The Drama Queen to Andra Day, and the Critics' Choice Award went to Carey Mulligan for Girls with a Bright Future, and Both Fansa McDormand and Vanessa Kirby missed the award.
Compared with the previous two years of Renee Zellweger, Olivia Coleman, and even Emma Stone and Brie Larson in the past two years, this year's film competition is finally more intense.
Like the Film Emperor, the Screen Actors Guild Award is the final key, this award has been at least overlapped with the Oscar for Actor and Actress every year since 2013, and joaqué Phoenix and Renee Zellweger, who won the award last year, finally won the little golden man.
(5) The best male and female match
Male Supporting Big Hits: Daniel Kalua, "Judas and the Black Messiah";
Supporting actress hit: Maria Bakalova's "Borat 2".
The Golden Globes and Critics' Choice Awards overlap in the supporting actors, and the Oscars are basically Daniel Kalua's.
Daniel Kalua was nominated for an Oscar for "Escape from Desperate Town", and then starred in "Black Panther" and "The Queen and the Thin Man" to secure his coffee position, if there is another little golden man, then his future is undoubtedly brighter.
Maria Bakalova, who won the Critics' Choice Award for Best Supporting Actress, did have a very eye-catching performance in "Borat 2", and was nominated for the Screen Actors Guild Award, not a ten-nine, and the momentum is also the best one.
(6) Best Screenplay
Original screenplay hit: "The Trial of the Seven Gentlemen of Chicago";
Adapted script hit: "No Man's Land".
The Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay in "The Trial of the Seven Gentlemen of Chicago", Alan Sorkin may take some time to win the best director, and he still deserves the screenwriting award.
"No One' Land" has already won the Critics' Choice Award and the Online Film Critics Association Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, and the Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay has also been nominated, and there is a great hope of winning an Oscar trophy.
(7) Best International Film
Big Hit: "Minari";
Strong contenders: "The Alcohol Project", "The Crying Woman".
Including the Golden Globe Award, critics' choice of best foreign language film, and even the best original screenplay that won the Critics Association Award, Korean actor Steven Yuan is also expected to be nominated for a film emperor.
Best International Film will most likely be won by a film representing South Korea for two consecutive years, and lemon juice can be prepared in advance.
However, "Young You" and "Sunshine" entered the big list before the nomination, and this glass of lemon juice can also be regarded as adding some sugar, not so sour.
(8) Best Animated Feature Film
Big Hit: "Psychic Journey";
Strong contender: None.
There's nothing to say about this, it's another year of Pixar dominating.
(9) Technology Award
Best Cinematography Hit: "The Land of No Man";
Best Editing Hit: "The Trial of the Seven Gentlemen of Chicago";
Best Visual Effects Hit: "Creed"
Best Art Direction: "Mank"
Best Visuals should be the turn of commercial blockbusters this year.
"Creed", which won the Critics' Choice Award for Best Visual Effects, was also nominated for the Visual Effects Association Award for Best Special Effects Film Visual Effects.
The visual experience of time and space reversal is shocking, and Nolan is based on a set of live-action shooting, special effects play an important role in the film narrative, if you win, then Nolan's so-called "space-time trilogy" "Inception", "Interstellar", "Creed" without exception, are Oscar best visual effects winners.
(10) Music Award
Best Original Soundtrack Hit: "Journey of the Mind";
Best Original Song Hit: "Coming to Japan for a Long Time".
Critics' Choice, Online Film Critics Association Awards and Golden Globe Awards overlap, and the best soundtrack all gives "Psychic Journey", and there is not much suspense.
The Overlap Rate of the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song and the Oscars over the years is quite high, and the award-winning "Coming to Japan" has naturally become the biggest hit on the Oscar side.
The nominees for the 93rd Academy Awards in 2021 will be announced on March 15, and the awards ceremony will take place on April 25. According to foreign media "Variety", everything will be business as usual, maintaining offline holdings and live television broadcasts.
