Oscar 2008

[Kunac]

LOS ANGELES - There's no Helen Mirren this time around, no Forest Whitaker.

Unlike last year, when clear front-runners already had emerged in key categories, this awards season looks wide open.

About a dozen films could be considered viable nominees for best picture at the Academy Awards, and Wednesday's selection of "No Country for Old Men" as the year's best by the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures doesn't make the outlook much clearer. The Coen brothers' beautifully brutal depiction of lawmen, guns and money along the Rio Grande has earned rave reviews and packed theaters in limited release, but it was expected to be a favorite even before it came out.

"I think that there are so many diverse genres, that there are so many strong performances, so many strong films," said Annie Schulhof, president of the National Board of Review, which consists of film historians, students and educators. "This was very challenging to our group this year. Sometimes a film speaks to you and that's what you stay with — that's what `No Country for Old Men' did.

"I think the race is wide open," she added. "I would not call this a mediocre year at all."

The competition for best actor is even more crowded. Hollywood typically offers stronger roles for men than women, but there were so many powerful, memorable ones this year that performances that might have seemed like obvious leads are spilling over into the supporting-actor category. That's certainly true with "No Country," in which Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem and Tommy Lee Jones share nearly equal screen time and are all essential to the story's progression.

Miramax, which released the film, is pushing Brolin for best actor — his character is the one who finds the suitcase of cash left after a botched drug deal. Bardem, as the eccentric killer seeking the money, is the catalyst for much of the action, while Jones, as the Texas sheriff chasing both men, serves as the movie's moral center and is the inspiration for the title.

"I agree it's very difficult to separate them and decide who's in best actor, who's in best supporting actor, but we get guided by the academy on that and that's the way they vote," said Miramax President Daniel Battsek. "It's doubly complicated by the fact that in both Josh and Tommy Lee's case, they have other movies in which they will be, I think, quite possibly up for consideration in either supporting or base actor."

Brolin could be a supporting-actor candidate for playing a corrupt cop in "American Gangster," while Jones stars as a father investigating the death of his soldier son in "In the Valley of Elah."

Other actors with nomination potential in a couple of categories are Philip Seymour Hoffman for "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead" or "The Savages" (best actor) and "Charlie Wilson's War" (supporting); Russell Crowe for "3:10 to Yuma" (best actor) and "American Gangster" (supporting); and Casey Affleck for "Gone Baby Gone" (best actor) and "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" (supporting).

"Last year we had distinct front-runners in Helen Mirren (`The Queen'), Forest Whitaker (`The Last King of Scotland') and `The Departed' for best picture, simply because everyone in the industry was saying that Marty Scorsese was so overdue," said Tom O'Neil, columnist for the awards Web site TheEnvelope.com. "The only cliffhanger was the fact that `The Departed' wasn't the typical Oscar-profile picture, being a kind of action thriller. This year it's totally up for grabs."

But O'Neil added that one film could emerge as an Academy Awards favorite over the next few weeks: "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street," Tim Burton's screen version of the blood-soaked Stephen Sondheim musical starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. Oscar nominations aren't scheduled to be announced until Jan. 22, but before that, on Thursday, the Golden Globe nominations should give the awards race a more defined shape.

"I think with the Johnny Depp cool factor and Tim Burton, it could have huge cult breakout status around Christmas. I could see a `Sweeney Todd' bandwagon taking off and giving us a `Silence of the Lambs'-type sweep," he said. "`The Departed' was evidence of the fact they're not as squeamish as they used to be. I think they are tougher and grittier and trying to be cool, and that means taking `No Country for Old Men' seriously as a best-picture nominee.

"`Atonement' is out front now," he said of the sweeping, historical romance starring Keira Knightley and James McAvoy, the kind of movie Oscar voters traditionally have loved. "But I think it's vulnerable."

BEST PICTURE: "American Gangster," "Atonement," "Charlie Wilson's War," "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly," "Gone Baby Gone," "Into the Wild," "Juno," "The Kite Runner," "Michael Clayton," "No Country for Old Men," "Ratatouille," "Sweeney Todd," "There Will Be Blood."

Od ovog pobrojanog sam pogledao samo dva filma: Ratatouille, koji jeste odličan, ali mislim da će biti nominovan (i pobediti) isključivo u kategoriji najboljeg animiranog filma, i Michael Clayton, sasvim dobar film, ali nikako za top 5 (a verovatno ni top 20).
Na jedva čekam! listi su No Country for Old Man i Sweeney Tod.  

[Ghoul]

kao i uvek što biva, tako me i ove godine od onoga što 'akademija' nađe za shodno da joj uđe u vidokrug zanima vvrlo malo toga.

najviše očekujem od bartona i braće koen, i zdušno ću navijati da uđu u odabrane, ako ne već i pobednike. i to ovako, na neviđeno.

od onoga što mi deluje zanimljivo, i što ću sigurno pogledati, izdvajam:

"American Gangster,"
=kad nadjem 3 sata s kojima nemam pametnija posla.

"Into the Wild,"
=walden za XXI vek...

"Juno,"
=zbog emilije pejdž

navijaću za:

BEST DIRECTOR: Joel and Ethan Coen ("No Country for Old Men") i/ili Tim Burton ("Sweeney Todd")

BEST ACTOR: Johnny Depp ("Sweeney Todd")
=krajnje je vreme da mu daju jednog, demit!

BEST ACTRESS: Ellen Page ("Juno"),

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: Javier Bardem ("No Country for Old Men")
=zato što nema jake šanse

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS:
=neam pojma za sada.

Ah, ah, kukala im majka, kad mjesaju No country sa onom skalamerijom od filma, Sweeney Todd...ali ne treba se uzbudjavati, Oscar vec decenijama nije nikakvo merilo...sreca pa je neko bio pametan da ne uvrsti Klopku (inace o tom filmu se dosta pisalo, negativno, na ovim stranicama, ne bih da ga branim, scenario je skaradan - a i ne bih da pominjem da je svojom bukom zasencio malo remek delo od romana, "Klopku," jer je film je medijum za sebe, i ne treba nikada porediti sa uzorima iz literature, i obratno - ali sto mu gromova, ipak taj Golubovic zna da rezira, i tu mu se mora skinuti kapa)...nego, posto uvek ima mali milion nepravda u nominacijama, moram reci da je Brad Pitt ovoga puta sasvim podmuklo zaobidjen u The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford...apropo poslednjeg filma, dolazi na FEST, ne gledati ga nikako na malom ekranu PCa - jedan od najboljih filmova prosle godine, tj. ima odlicnih poslednjih 20ak minuta (ostatak filma je dobar), ali ako uzmemo u obziru celu istoriju kinematografije, 20ak minuta je i vise nego vrlo dobro, odlicno....

[Milosh]

Mda, sama ceremonija je bila onako, ali što se konkretnih nagrada tiče ovoliki broj, što se mene tiče, potpuno zasluženih Oskara odavno nisam video. Naročito mi je bilo drago što je Dizni ispušio za najbolju pesmu, odnosno što su ovo dvoje dobili sasvim zasluženo za Once (skidam soundtrack upravo...). Super je i za Borna, to je vrhunski zvučno/vizuelno montiran film i muka mi je više od tupadžija koji navodno ne mogu da prate šta se tu dešava jer je, kao, suviše brzo i konfuzno. Ne znam za Juno, pošto film još uvek nisam pogledao, ali ovi ostali glavni kandidati su prošli manje-više po zaslugama, Atonament je dobio Oskara za odličnu muziku (Marianelli) i to je to (mogla je, ona klinka da dobije i za sporednu ulogu, ali sve više od toga jok), Michael Clayton (solidan film) i Tilda Swinton, ok. Glavne uloge, obe potpuno zaslužene, baš mi je bilo drago zbog Marion Cotillard. Koeni su dobili što su odavno zaslužili, ali je sjajna stvar što za razliku od Skorsezea prošle godine ovo nije nagrada za minuli rad već za zaista najbolji film godine (neki se, naravno, neće složiti, ali ja još treba da pročitam negativnu kritiku No Country for Old Men koja je iole argumentovana, a da se ne svodi na: film je dosadan, nema kraj i sl.). There Will Be Blood je stvarno odličan film (a inače nisam Andersonov fan), ali nije savršen kao No Country... Dakle, što se nagrada tiče, najbolja godina još od zasluženog trijumfa Silence of the Lambs. Šteta samo što su već u nominacijama izostavili Zodijaka, kao i Rumune u kategoriji stranog filma.

[cutter]

slazem se za zodijaka.
sto se tice borna, prilicno je dobar film (slazem se za montazu i zvuk - al ja bi to dao cika zodijaku da je na listi), bolji od (za mene slabog) drugog dela ali slabiji od prvog u ciju senku se svesno stavlja i poslednjom scenom (pre nego sto cini pun krug).
ATONEMENT mi deluje anemicno i tesko cu se nakaniti da to pogledam, osim nekim bizarnim spletom okolnosti.
DZUNO je kvalitetan film, al kad je vec nominovan (i to za svasta, sto po meni ne zasluzuje, al opet - sta se sve pojavljuje na oskarima, DZUNO je majka) SUPERBAD (npr) je mogao uleteti u neke kategorije jos komotnije.
kako nisam pogledao koene, niti BICE KRVI, a ni MAJKLA KLEJTONA (koji mi deluje dosta vidjeno, pa cu ga teze videti), nemam sta da kazem.
pri muziki sam, kao i obicno, prebacivao.

'Ajde, ovo može da prođe...

[crippled_avenger]

Ovi oskari bi mi delovali okej da nisam gledao filmove.

Uzmimo za primer epizodne uloge.

Javier Bardem u NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN. To nije uloga. To nije karakter. To je jedna zajebancija, persiflaža i imitacija, poigravanje sa upadljivo ukočenim pogledom i izveštačenim akcentom, urađena na solidan, čak ne ni vrhunski način.

Tilda Swinton u MICHAEL CLAYTONu. Prvo uopšte nisam mogao da se setim da li postoji neki ženski lik u tom filmu. Onda sam se setio da postoji. To je ona žena što radi za zlu korporaciju. Njena uloga je mala i uglavnom bazirana na montaži gde gledamo nju kako uvežbava svoje govore, pa ih onda izgovara uživo, ili se znoji u nekom klozetu i opet preeksplicitno pokazuje kako se smorila. Tu isto nikakvog karaktera nema, osim što Tilda stalno deluje upadljivo nenormalno i uzbuđeno.

THERE WILL BE BLOOD nisam gledao. Međutim, mogu da zamislim koliko se Daniel Day Glogovac tu razmahao pošto je odlučio da izađe iz svoje kule od bjelokosti i počasti nas svojim prisustvom. Day Lewis je respektabilan glumac, tu nema zbora, ali je počeo sbe toliko da mistifikuje da sada drži ceo Holivud i Akademiju kao taoce svojim tobožnjim vrhunskim kriterijumom pri izboru uloga. A što je najsmešnije od svega, kad se pogleda sa kim je radio vidimo da su to sve autori koje je mejnstrim kritika etablirala, kao da ih je birao na www.metacritic.com .

[Ghoul]

ja sam oskare uredno prespavao, iako je ove godine za promenu bilo čak 2 naslova za koje bih, mada mlako, navijao (koeni + burton).

i There Will Be Blood i No Country For Old Men pate od te opsesije da naprave THE GREAT AMERICAN MOVIE, s tim što je Blood nadrkaniji u toj ambiciji, a po svemu sudeći, znatno dosadniji (bar za mene); s druge strane, braća koen su, uprkos pretencioznosti, uspela da isporuče izvanredan film, a timeless classic, i mada i kod njih SIGURNO ima elementa 'ej, greota što smo ih tolko zaobilazili, daj da im damo najzad te velike oskare' ipak su im ga dali za ODLIČAN film, pa zato svaku od 4 figurice pozdravljam i podržavam.

žao mi je za jelenicu stranić, ali još je mlada, dobiće ga ona kad-tad.

debilno je što su DŽUNI dali oskar za scenario, akademija je dopustila da ih savataju one-linerima i fazonima, iako su zaplet i likovi nesnosno iskonstruisani (videti moj rivju na 'horor nije' topiku).

žao mi je što svinja tod nije dobio za masku i kostime, jebale ih više te usrane engleske kraljice pretplaćene na oskare! (da, znam da svinja nije ni nominovan za masku, tim gore!)

[Meho Krljic]

Ja nisam pratio ovo, kao što nikad i ne pratim, a i mrzi me čak i da pročitam listu, ali Tilda Swinton je jedna mega hot pojava. Samo sam to želeo da kažem.

[Kunac]

OSKAR je ove godine ćorak.

[Alexdelarge]

Drago mi je za braders koene; film je stvarno odlican; gledacu ga opet.

Super je i za Borna, to je vrhunski zvučno/vizuelno montiran film i muka mi je više od tupadžija koji navodno ne mogu da prate šta se tu dešava jer je, kao, suviše brzo i konfuzno.

Taj sam. Film je negledljiv, te sam na pola odustao.

[Kunac]

Izgleda da smo se negde preračunali.

Najslabije gledana dodela Oskara u istoriji


Svečana dodela Oskara, održana u nedelju uveče u Los Anđelesu, bila je najslabije gledana u SAD od kako je počelo merenje broja gledalaca, 1974. godine.

Prema podacima grupe Nilsen medija riserč, 80. dodelu pozlaćenih statueta, koja je trajala tri sata i osam minuta, gledalo je oko 32 miliona ljudi na kanalu ABC. Domaći gledaoci mogli su direktan prenos svečanosti da gledaju na RTS-u.

Prošlogodišnju svečanost pratio je 41 milion američkih televizijskih gledalaca.

Do sada je najlošiju gledanost imala ceremonija iz 2003. godine (33,04 miliona gledalaca), održana nekoliko dana posle američko-britanske invazije na Irak, ali nova dodela uspela je gledanost da svede na još niži nivo.

Rekordna gledanost zabeležena je tokom ceremonije 1998. godine, kada je dodelu pratilo 55,25 miliona gledalaca u SAD. Tada je trijumfovao "Titanik", film koji sa 600 miliona dolara drži rekord u zaradi u severnoameričkim bioskopima.

Ovogodišnja svečanost održana je posle višemesečnog štrajka televizijskih i filmskih scenarista, koji je okončan pre dve nedelje.

Moguće je da su nadureni scenaristi ipak uticali na dodelu, iako su prekinuli štrajk. Šale domaćina Džona Stjuarta delovale su nategnuto i nepripremljeno, izostale su duhovite parodije i retrospektive (osim nekoliko standardnih), a govori nagrađenih uglavnom su bili prosečni i pomalo prazni.

Očigledno je da ovaj put javnost bojkotuje dodelu Oskara zbog oduzimanja Kosova.

Oscar winner faces 9/11 backlash


Cotillard won her Oscar for playing legendary French singer Edith Piaf

Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard is facing criticism after footage of her apparently questioning the 9/11 attacks surfaced on the internet.

In a interview she reportedly gave a year ago, the star is shown commenting on the events of 11 September 2001.

"I think we're lied to about a number of things," the Paris-born 32-year-old is seen saying in French.

Cotillard's best actress Oscar was one of several awards she won for playing singer Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose.

She is due to begin filming gangster movie Public Enemies with actor Johnny Depp shortly.

Transcript

In the interview, given to French TV show Paris Premiere, Cotillard appears to suggest the attacks on the World Trade Center were staged to avoid the expense of refurbishing them.

"We see other towers of the same kind being hit by planes, are they burned?" she asks. "There was a tower, I believe it was in Spain, which burned for 24 hours.

"It never collapsed. None of these towers collapsed. And there [in New York], in a few minutes, the whole thing collapsed."

The Twin Towers, she claims, were a "money sucker" that would have cost much more to modernise than to destroy.

The actress goes on to cast doubt on the Moon landing of 1969. "Did a man really walk on the moon?" she asks.

"I saw plenty of documentaries on it and I really wondered. In any case I don't believe all they tell me."

A transcript of Cotillard's interview has been posted on France's Marianne2 website.
