1905 Movie Network News Recently, Hollywood gold medal screenwriter Alan Sorkin's self-written and self-directed Netflix new work "The Trial of the Seven Gentlemen of Chicago" announced that the male lead actors in the film: Sasha Byron Cohen, Eddie Redmayne, Mark Reilance, Frank Langla, Yahya Abdul-Meditern, Jeremy Strong, Michael Keaton, etc. will collectively register for the Best Supporting Actor Award at next year's Academy Awards, because the film does not particularly highlight a certain actor, everyone is more evenly divided. Therefore, the Best Actor Award will not be registered.
Alan Sorkin has created masterpieces such as "The White House", "Newsroom", "Social Network", "Penalty Balls become Gold", and this "Chicago Seven Gentlemen's Trial" is also based on real events, telling the story of seven civil rights activists accused of conspiracy in 1969 for holding protests at the Democratic Convention in Chicago the previous year. The film has recently become a hot topic of discussion among fans around the world after its launch on Netflix, and has received fairly good scores on several important scoring index websites in North America, including Rotten Tomatoes 90% freshness, imdb 7.9 points, and metascore 76 points.
There are only five Oscar nominations for Best Supporting Actor, and the male actors in "The Trial of the Seven Gentlemen of Chicago" have to compete for these five positions, and the split vote is obviously a problem. Sasha Byron Cohen is considered to have the highest chance of being shortlisted, Mark Rylance, Frank Langla and Yahya Abdul-Medin have also received many awards from critics, and the Oscar for best actor Redmayne will certainly suck up some votes. In addition to the acting awards, "The Trial of the Seven Gentlemen of Chicago" is also seen as a strong contender for next year's Oscars for Best Feature Film, Best Original Screenplay and Best Editing.
