Oscar 2021: Unique, unprecedented strange

The 93-2021 Academy Awards ceremony will take place on April 26 (Vietnam time) at the Dolby Theater (Los Angeles – USA). Award ceremony director and producer Steven Soderbergh shared: Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this year’s Oscar ceremony will not be like what was done before, but it has never been done.
Eight films in the list of best film nominations for the 93-2021 Oscar Awards have brought strong impressions to viewers. It’s hard to guess which movie will win.

Startled … to the last minute It would be lame to compare the quality of the 8 best film candidates for the 93-2021 Academy Awards: “The Father”, “Judas and The Black Messiah”, “Mank”, “Minari”, ” Nomadland “,” Promising young women “,” Sound of metal “and” The trial of the Chicago 7 “. Because good or bad is a difficult category when it depends entirely on the interests and tastes of the viewer. It’s not natural that the movie “Promising young women” brought 5 nominations at this year’s Academy Awards: Best Film, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Female Lead and Best Film Editing. The work offers a different perspective on the problem of rape. Experts call this film “sweet at first sight, bitter in taste” when the film brings a light feeling at the beginning, then repeatedly unfolds details that lead the audience to an end. somewhat shocking to the viewer. The film revolves around the story of Cassie – a talented girl who used to study in medical school. Cassie unexpectedly dropped out of school after her best friend Nina was raped and later passed away. Now, every night, Cassie goes to a bar, pretending to be drunk, to seduce men to date with her. Cassie does so in revenge for the men who harmed her friend. What a dangerous and daring journey of “revenge”. When it was released, the film created a fierce fever because of its disruptive current content, because the contents reflected in the film could completely happen in real life. They are very close and very real to each person. The men who cheat, rape, and kill people in the movie have a gentle, shy look and are loved by the people around them. Director Emerald Fennell made viewers “take off their hats” because he debunked the dignity and kindness of many “gentlemen” with natural and authentic camera angles. The bad nature of many men has been “peeled” by the film as if “paper cannot wrap fire”. Not only about gender equality, the film offers a complete cinematic experience when balancing both humor and drama, sometimes with romance. The film revived the famous songs of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. The movie “Promising young women” with a tightly constructed script and continuously unfolded new details made the audience startled until the last minute. The film is not only an indictment for hypocrites, but also sets up a wake-up call for society against the problem of sexual abuse and sexual assault on women. Movie poster “Promising young women” What talent is called? If director Emerald Fennell is enough to convince the majority of the audience, actor Carey Mulligan in the role of Cassie qualified for “10 gold”. Cassie especially has a haunted look. She fully transformed in her own haunting moments. She was especially impressed when both crazy and arrogant but still exuded a fragment of heart wounds. Carey is so excellent, but that does not mean that the other 4 candidates in the Best Actress category are less attractive. Viola Davis starred in “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom”, a film that uses music to talk about a timeless issue: the story of color. The way that Ma Rainey (played by Viola Davis) messes with the world seems to be just the way she struggles to fill the truth, that in the end she is still nothing but a singing slave. Andra Day in “The United States vs. Billie Holiday”, Vanessa Kirby in “Pieces of a Woman” or Frances McDormand in “Nomadland” are also excellent. Meanwhile, in the Best Actor category, 5 candidates Anthony Hopkins, Gary Oldman, Riz Ahmed, Chadwick Boseman and Steven Yeun also create a thrilling race. In it, Anthony Hopkins and Gary Oldman each won, respectively as Hannibal Lecter in “The Silence of the Lambs” (1991) and Gary Oldman as “Winston Churchill” in Darkest Hour (2017). Receiving an Oscar nomination at the age of 83, Anthony Hopkins set a record when becoming the oldest to receive a Best Actor nomination. The remaining three faces Riz Ahmed, Chadwick Boseman and Steven Yeun are all rookies at the Oscar race. After his death at the age of 43, Chadwick Boseman recently received his first Oscar nomination for his last role in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. Set in the late 1920s, the film tells the story of the conflicts between the colored singer Ma Rainey and the white manager and the band during the recording process. The film has a simple setting, heavy on dialogue because it was adapted based on the 1982 play by August Wilson. Chadwick Boseman has stripped of the image of “black panther” to play the role of Levee Green – a trumpet player in the band. He coordinated smoothly with Viola Davis (in the lead role of Ma Rainey) with a very life style, bringing a lot of emotions to the character. The 2021 Academy Awards began with a 90-minute performance with five songs on the list of best film Theme Song nominations. Director Steven Soderbergh said the ceremony will be made as a movie, with the host of three stars: Brad Pitt, Harrison Ford and Halle Berry “starring them”. The ceremony will look like a documentary to give the winner more time for the speech. Organizers will encourage participants to tell a story and say something about themselves. The MCs of the awards ceremony will have to do more than just open the envelope reading the winners’ names. In order to prevent the Covid-19 epidemic, organizers affiliated with artists cannot attend ceremonies in locations around the world over the internet.
