In 2020, the 92nd Academy Awards ceremony was held in the United States, and the best films of the year such as "Parasite", "1917" and "Jojo Rabbit" successfully won various Oscar awards.
However, every year the Academy Awards are fiercely competitive, on the one hand, the judges are difficult to reconcile, and the public relations company wins, resulting in some good films that eventually regret to rub shoulders with the little golden man.
At present, "Klaus: Christmas Secrets", "Lost Links", "Sharp Blades Out of the Sheath", "The Succession of the Pope", "Avengers 4" and other masterpieces are all destroyed.
And "Decisive Battle of Midway", "Alita", "Official Secret", "Hot Air Balloon Pilot", "Dumbo", "Aladdin", "Original Diamond" and other masterpieces, basically no nominations...
So, while congratulating the nominees, we have not forgotten those lost pearls. Let Shi Fan count the many good films that have not been selected for this year's Oscars for you, and I hope that you who have recently been plagued by the epidemic at home can find a favorite film!
Lost Oscars: "Avengers 4"
This piece is more exquisite than the previous episodes of the story, like "Spider-Man: Parallel Universe" in each time and space hero warriors and relatives and friends separation, theft and spy comedy coexist when seizing gems, Black Widow sacrifices for gems, countless superheroes flying in the sky to make a showdown is simply a sci-fi version of "The Lord of the Rings", Iron Man that is like the end of "Big Fish" Funeral sensationalism is very poignant, did not expect Captain America to stay with his girlfriend before, fun, spectacle, emotional catharsis reached a new high, but refreshed the box office record in film history, in exchange for the Oscar fiasco, hey!

Lost Oscar Bid II: "Battle for Midway"
Roland Emmerich, who shot "2012" and "Independence Day" and was hailed as the "Invincible Destruction King", was really not welcomed by the Oscars! Just like the intelligence analysis of this film, the grasp of fighter jets, the cannons of giant ships, aircraft carrier battles and other elements are accurately grasped. Not only the sound of warplanes roaring by and the roar of shells has been circling in the mind, but also the helplessness of the characters shooting guns into the chest in the war, the two countries will make the strategy behind the scenes, but such a masterpiece has not been nominated, which is sad!
Lost Oscars: "Klaus: Christmas Secrets"
The front is a funny and spooky absurd comedy, the worst child of the Postal Academy, go to the frozen island to get Santa Claus, send the children on the island toys, let the two gangs of feuds no longer fight, the back is warm and touching, the sleigh chases wildly, the old man dies in the forest, the exquisite old-school two-dimensional animation allows the post-80s to find the amazing sense of childhood Hollywood cartoons, crazy but swept the Annie Award, and the Oscar lost to "Toy 4".
Lost Oscar-winning pearl four: "Sharp Blade Out of sheath"
A tribute to Agatha's detective novel, the gorgeous fantasy lineup, exquisite and luxurious costumes and art, and interlocking reasoning plot are all very thoughtful. Detective Craig is humorous, spicy, insightful, Anna's kindness and innocence are just right, there is no eternal family, only eternal interests, but the good man is high in the end, which completely illuminates the light in the darkness of human nature, but does not touch the conscience of the Oscar judges.
Missed Oscar 5: "The Lamentations of Richard Jewell"
Received 6 major nominations in the awards season, 96% on Rotten Tomatoes, and the latest masterpiece directed by Clint Eastwood, "The Lamentations of Richard Jewell", was determined to avenge the good people, as well as the blood and faith of immortality, and did not receive any Oscar nominations. It is a tragedy that a man may be overwhelmed, but he still retains his arrogant dignity.

Bead Index: ★★★★ ☆
Lost Oscars Seven: "Blackwater"
Douban 8.4 points, IMDb 7.6 points, the 24th Golden Satellite Awards For Best Actor in a Feature Film and Best Adapted Screenplay nominations, but did not receive any Oscar nominations, which is incredible. "Hulk" Mark Ruffalo, Anne Hathaway, Tim Robbins are all excellent, the tone of the whole film is heavy and solemn, even some tragic, nearly 20 years of litigation is quite relevant, and there are environmental themes!
Lost Oscars: "Don't Tell Her"
This kind and warm film made the audience burst into tears for a second, and in the blink of an eye, they broke into laughter. The film presents the same effective simulation of the feelings of being born in the world as the emotional capture, and the audience follows Billie's struggle to accept bad news and conceal her illness, gradually understanding the starting point of her family. Unfortunately, after Okafina won the Golden Globe Awards, the film was not nominated for an Oscar, which is incredible.
Missed Oscar IX: The Succession of the Pope
The overall tone is lighter, but still dramatic, with Fernando Merrills showing the audience the art of directing that balances strong dramatic conflict and realism. Anthony Hopkins uses vivid emotional transformation to show Bergoglio's sharp and mean but gentle and fragile heart, and Jonathan Pressy also dedicated the opponent scene that the audience praised, but unfortunately the film did not win an Oscar.
Lost Oscar 10: Downton Abbey
Spin-off film classic, no Oscar nominations. Not only is there a variety of luxurious costumes and light and shadow, but the group drama is also excellent, and the big lady is personally and rationally arranged the task in an orderly manner, and even cautiously defeats the assassin by chance. Servants lock in the British chief officer to prove that they have earned respect, the life of the rich and poor is precise and delicate, and the tragedy of the old and new inheritance is infectious.
Light ten lost pearls is certainly not enough, the following recommended some of the best works that did not win the Oscar, I hope you can find surprises from them.
The lost pearl of the Oscar: "Dumbo"
It's a stunning masterpiece that exceeds expectations and is pleasing to the eye by blending Disney's savvy emotions and Bolton's gothic dark fantasies! The characters of the circus are vivid, Eva Green's high-altitude acrobatics are sexy and feminine, Dumbo is familiar with children to fly narrative exquisite and suspenseful, cute elephants use expressions and eyes to convey emotions very delicately. The exquisite fairy tale of the pursuit of freedom, the fable of the evil profiteer who wants to dominate the monopoly and set himself on fire, but he is abandoned by the Oscar, sad!

Bead Index: ★★★★
Lost Oscars: Alita: Battle Angel
Although the end of this film continues unfinished, it adheres to the style of "Sin City" + "Terminator", abandoning the bloody and desperate doomsday feeling of the original work, and instead making a cool film to the maximum! From the inside of the arena to the outside pipeline, the opponents, scenes, moves, special effects are different, parkour chases and fights are more shocking, and the sophisticated technology is stunned. It is chilling that such an ingenious masterpiece has no awards.
Lost Oscar Pearl: "The Lost Link"
The Lost Link, which won the 77th Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature, looks a little low-key, but stop-motion animation is ingenious, and the adventure stories of hominids and modern humans, with an emphasis on interesting characters and details, are remarkable. Unfortunately, this film did not win an Oscar, which is a pity.
Lost Oscars: "Official Secret"
There is no absolute innocence and black and white right and wrong, only political ugliness, and courageous girls who do not give in to treason, cold tone photography and music, "British Rose" Kayla Knightley's superb acting skills, all prove that "Gangster Mob" director Gavin Hood is really worthy of the realist director. Unfortunately, this film, like the director's previous "Eye in the Sky" and "Anti-Terrorism Doubt", was abandoned by the Oscars!
The Lost Jewel of the Oscar: "The Dancing Girl Thief"
It's a cool robber movie about strippers, starring an excellent cast. This film tries to integrate the entertainment content that makes the audience think of it, and also integrates it with the content with social review value, and was selected as one of the top ten best films of Time Magazine, and the Latin singer Nev Lopez won the Golden Satellite Award and the Hollywood Film Critics Association Best Supporting Actress Award, but the Oscar was not nominated, sad!

Bead Index: ★★★ ☆
The lost oscar: "Aladdin"
Adapted from Disney's 31st animation 27 years ago, it is still inspired by the Arabic legend "The Night", but under the direction of "ghost talent" director Guy Richie, the narrative style is relaxed and cheerful, not into fast editing and complex parkour chases, plus including Will Smith's wonderful performances of singing and dancing, making the pleasure super high, but unfortunately it was not nominated.
The Lost Jewel of the Oscar: "Original Diamond"
Acclaimed at international film festivals such as the 85th New York Film Critics Association Awards, the American Independent Spirit Awards, and the Gotham Independent Film Awards, this roller coaster-like film that combines gambling, greed and jealousy is very interesting. Under the lens of the Safdy brothers, in the performance of Adam Sandler, in the brilliant light of the original diamond, what is reflected is the taste of the nothingness of life, but there is no Oscar nomination, which makes people helpless.
Lost Oscars: "The Lion King"
Jon Feiru's 118-minute version of the real lion basically reproduces the original work, adding content to enrich the content and humorous laughter, although the special effects are affirmed, the content is questioned "fried cold rice", but the fairy tale romance of "God restored" conveys the clearest philosophy to the audience, the courage and responsibility of "who am I", when little Simba grew into the Lion King, after experiencing love, friendship, hatred, still the cycle of life is endless, just because of the remake there is no Oscar?
The lost jewel of the Oscar: "Togo"
Sled dog Togo grows up adventures and dies, a dog epic, Disney even animal network mostly make audiovisual spectacle and emotion excellent. Mixed-race, frail and sickly Togo became the leader of the sled dog to accompany the owner all the way over the snowy mountains, fjords, and deliver serum, and the most exciting thing was that the sled returned through the frozen river section, and it was too exciting to rush through the thin ice cracks! Such a great film was not nominated because it was a big net?
Lost Oscars: Pain and Glory
It's a movie about happiness, witty, clever, emotional. It's about love, memories, art, motherhood, lovers, and most importantly about yourself, and it can be frustratingly indulgent in the hands of smaller directors. But Pedro Almodóvar is a master of self-referencing and intertextuality: cinema within a movie, a story within a story, a dream in a dream. The director used creativity to generate electricity, the film ran so smoothly, so seductively, Banderas won the Cannes film emperor, but did not go further in the Oscars.
Lost Oscars: "Hot Air Balloon Aviator"
The core adventure content of this film may be a bit old-fashioned, but it is indeed a gorgeous masterpiece with superb acting skills, and there are many tense and thrilling scenes. Felicity Jones and Eddie Redmayne's respective outstanding performances gave the film a cathartic release, and the only regret was that there was no Oscar nomination.
The Lost Jewel of the Oscar: "21 Bridges"
This film may not be as exciting as some of the classic cop movies in the past, but it is an entertaining choice outside of the superhero movies currently released in theaters, Bosman gives the characters a unique sense of tension and charm, making the characters themselves full of attraction, story reversals and gunfights are remarkable, and the only regret is that there is no Oscar nomination.
Lost Oscars: Les Misérables
The film focuses on the contradictions and conflicts between three police officers on the outskirts of Paris and local immigrants. From the beginning of the parade of celebrations of France's victory in the World Cup to the end of a riot in the stairwell of the apartment, the confrontation between the old and new French is explored. Director Rad Leigh also projected a sentence from Hugo's Les Misérables onto the screen: "There is neither weed nor bad guys, only laymen." It is a pity that such a masterpiece did not win the award.
Lost Oscar Pearl: Portrait of a Burning Woman
The director portrays the emotions of a lesbian with a female gaze rather than a man, and her shots are intimate and ambiguous. Every shot in the film can be framed, embedded in any art gallery, and the air is filled with forbidden desires. The superb interpretation of the two protagonists, the love story of 18th-century France carries almost all the signs of success, for the audience, this work is so good, but it did not win the Oscar.
