No surprises, with some omissions and occasional controversy, were unveiled yesterday at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater, home of the Academy Awards, the nominations for the Oscars, which this year ( February 28) celebrates its 88 th edition. Of ever increasing way, the Oscar award a number of industry standards in combination with internal values and interests that have little to do with genuine and sincere balance as best deparó American cinema. Thus, the institution captures adherents to play prode gold in its global transmission as much as indifference aroused passionate film.
In affinity with the Golden Globes, where three fundamental statuettes took, The reborn was the film benefited most from the list: the new and excessive tape the Mexican Alejandro Gonzalez Irráñitu, filmed partly in Ushuaia, It has 12 nominations, the highest of the tapes in competition, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor. And yes, maybe this is the revenge of Leonardo DiCaprio, Oscar nominee eternal and motive of jokes and memes everywhere. The actor, who The reborn makes a man lost in the desolate snowy landscape of a pre-civilized America subjected to all kinds of harrowing evidence of survival-including the attack of a bear warrior will have as main rival in the shortlist to Matt Damon, lost astronaut rescue mission like DiCaprio won in the Golden Globes (best comedy actor for!). Bryan Cranston ( Trumbo ), Michael Fassbender (Steve Jobs) and Eddie Redmayne-winner past a statuette for his role as Stephen Hawking The theory of everything year that now embodied in The Danish Girl a transsexual pioneer Lili Elbe- are the other opponents of the category.
Iñárritu not be happy with the Oscar last year with Birdman (which also won Best Picture), returns to favorite this year with The reborn , and with Golden Globe in hand. Doing so will equal the record of the legendary John Ford, who won two consecutive Oscar for the masterpieces The Grapes of Wrath (1940) and How Green Was My Valley (1941). Abysmal comparisons aside, Iñárritu fellow triplet are the surprise Lenny Abrahamson ( Room ), the director of the drama last Adam McKay (The big bet, currently in theaters) comedy, the respectable Tom McCarthy ( Spotlight ) and veteran Australian George Miller, whose Mad Max: Fury on the road gave the thud: the frantic action film (a genre that rarely comes to the major categories of the Oscar) garnered 10 nominations heroic although except for Best Picture and Director they are associated with technical areas. In that sense, it is curious that Tom Hardy is nominated for Best Actor for The reborn -in which makes wicked brother and not by Mad Max .
Charlize Theron, the great figure of the desert belt on Wheels, also absent in the shortlist for Best Actress, where the pampered struggle Jennifer Lawrence ( Joy: The name of success which premiered this week), Brie Larson ( Room ), Saorsie Ronan ( Brooklyn ), Cate Blanchett ( Carol ) and another rarity, Charlotte Rampling huge, by the English film 45 years .
Also, Carol , the Todd Haynes praised film that initially pointed as a favorite, deserved nomination for Best Actress (Blanchett), Supporting Actress (Rooney Mara), Best Adapted Screenplay (Phyllis Nagy), Best Costume Design (Sandy Powell) and Best Score (Carter Burwell) but was inexplicably outside nominations Best Director and Film; omission is even more surprising still a few years ago determined that the Academy could nominate up to 10 films for Best Picture, this time named only eight.
Other sparkling absent are renowned directors Steven Spielberg and Ridley Scott (especially the latter, who never won an Oscar), whose films -Bridge of spies and Rescue Mission , respectively – yes among the candidates for Best Picture.
Brooklyn (another surprise, that in addition to Ronan in struggle for Best Actress Best Adapted Screenplay by British author Nick Hornby), Room and Spotlight (which has to Mark Ruffalo and Rachel McAdams as Best Actor and Actress in addition to McCarthy as director) productions are closing the shortlist for Best Picture.
Black absence
The lack of films and actors from the race African American among the nominees went anyway most controversial ads that sparked the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which had almost the same political incorrectness committed last year were it not for Selma . This time, the exclusion of collective biopic films like Straight outta Compton (a recreation of the troubled origin of the first gangsta rap band out of a violent area of Los Angeles) or Creed: Heart Champion (which received nomination for Best Actor for the iconic Sylvester Stallone, one of the few white figures of the film, who returns to make Rocky Balboa); and the shift of Will Smith nominations (for Concussion ) and Idris Elba (for Beasts of no nation ) fell ill in the US and global public opinion, even more It happened in a year full of protests clamor of diversity. The virtual community circulated the hashtag #OscarsStillSoWhite (“The Oscars are still white”) to replace last year’s #OscarsSoWhite (“The Oscars are white”) on Twitter.
Supporters of Star Wars that came to life with the expected and actual Star Wars: The Awakening of force, the third highest grossing film of all time, also may feel discriminated against, while the new film of the saga of George Lucas holds only five nominations, all of a technical nature. The most hated 8 films of Quentin Tarantino to be released this week, is another despised: he stayed with an important nomination (for Best Supporting Actress, for the great work of Jennifer Jason Leigh), Best Cinematography (Robert Richardson ) and Best Score (Ennio Morricone) but ran out of important and, especially, Best Original Screenplay, which Tarantino is often an eternal nominee.
The heart of the snake instead Ciro War marked a milestone, becoming the first Colombian film to aspire to a golden statuette. It will do as best foreign language film with Mustang Deniz Gamze Ergüven (France, poster), Son of Saul Laszlo Nemes (Hungarian favorite), Theeb Nowar Abu Naji (Jordan) and War Tobias Lindholm (Denmark).
Awards. The 88th edition of the Oscars next 28 February in Los Angeles will be held. It will be hosted comedian Chris Rock, already tested in the role in 2005.
