The 83 th installment of the Academy Awards has something for everyone
Miguel Cane
After several years - since Billy Crystal left serving as master of ceremonies - the Ceremony of the Oscars, the most glamorous Hollywood party par excellence, had failed to raise its head, if you remember last year's ceremony with Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin, you know that it was of an act rather boring, not very bright. For this reason, and also bearing in mind that market capture is the young, the show's producers, Bruce Cohen and Don Mischer, ensured that this year's gala had a completely new and dynamic appearance, calling as major drivers of two actors whose names provoked surprise in the middle: the beautiful Anne Hathaway - nominated in 2009 for his devastating performance in Rachel's Wedding - and James Franco, who is nominated for 127 hours of Danny Boyle.
The Academy wants to rejuvenate
call The idea behind these two is a clear sign of a - possibly desperate, as reported by some media The Hollywood Reporter - desire to bring this ceremony in its transmission via satellite to various international chains, to a younger audience (the trend-setting box office and finally decide the tabulario productions at school, which explains why basically 90% of American film production, which reaches around the world, is aimed at a consumer with a very low level of demand, action movies with spectacular effects, humor puerile and without depth). While it is true that the Academy urges you close the generation gap - which is seen in the nature of the two favorite tapes for the statuette for best movie of the year: the formal, elegant and upbeat the king's speech, Tom Hooper and Social Network , eclectic, postmodern (and rather misogynistic) tape of David Fincher. Each has its ardent defense fronts, and that some gains will be very symbolic: on the one hand may be the triumph of the old guard who is stuck rewarding biopics, historical films, great entertainment and human interest stories, as opposed to a tape that is young, with equally young cast and a more direct narrative language, something closer to the sensitivity hipster new wave of filmmakers and fans.
This is the first time in Oscar history that a duo of a man and a woman liven up the whole ceremony. In the past, some actresses - like Lucille Ball, Joan Crawford, or Whoopi Goldberg - have been part of masters of ceremonies, and had also been partners, but only as part of a tele from another city like New York. This is the first time a couple perform live and on stage throughout the ceremony. The other important innovation is that producers have abandoned the traditional setting and now undergo a series of virtual reality scenarios through projections. The purpose of this change is that hosts carrying the audience on a journey through the history of Hollywood through six different scenery. Cohen explained, "The hope is that we leave the (theater) Kodak in 2011, not literally but metaphorically speaking, and lead the audience with nosotroshacia century".
And Music !
One of the items back to retake the organizers of the event this year is the individual presentation of the nominated songs. play Randy Newman We Belong Together Ribbon Toy Story 3. Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi made a song duet with Entangled : I See the Light , while Gwyneth Paltrow versatile country sing the theme Coming Home he composed for the film Country Strong - in which she plays a singer. And Dido, nominated by If I Rise of 127 hours , not available, the rocker was invited to Florence Welch interprets the theme.
Moreover, the producers decided to include the choir of primary school 22, of Staten Island, New York, to play the memorable theme Over the Rainbow, which became legendary in the voice of Judy Garland in The Wizard Oz .
But that is not everything, in an effort to give a touch more 'personal' to the ceremony, have been invited this year to nine mothers of nominees and a grandmother (Franco's) that will follow the ceremony via Twitter from where they will comment. Obviously, we should not wait for the proud parents are neutral in their comments on their offspring, which will generate some controversy secure the network. In addition, Cohen and Mischer ruled this year the use of testimony from a panel of five presenters, which was introduced two years ago. Everything looks to be a quick ceremony and dynamic, which, frankly, is welcome.
What will you want "Black"?
The Alexander "The Black" Gonzalez Inarritu is nominated this year Biutiful , the supernatural-tinged melodrama filmed with Javier Bardem (nominated for best actor) in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bhas been national attention on the event, both the perennial dream of dyeing the national colors of glory in this field (something that did not happen with the classic Macario nor Y Tu Mama too, which only served to throw the charolastras the world a decade ago, with Gael appearing ceremony in 2002 to submit to Caetano Veloso and make politics into the microphone, as you know) and by the discontent that arose in some quarters that this was the tape selected by the Mexican Academy to represent Mexico at the Oscars, violating ( or, flexing) your own rules, which sat very ill and is not clearly justified in no time.
get the Oscar, González Iñárritu will settle the debt owed to him since that hectic Hollywood 2007 when three Mexican directors (Cuaron, del Toro and he) came up empty-handed after all the hubbub. However, it is not so easy since its main competitor, Kynodontas , Greece, has swept across the festival circuit.
Tribulations of royalty, families with lesbian mothers, dreamlike delusions, cowboys with a heart of gold, greedy and resentful academics, fighters, drug traffickers and neurasthenic ballerinas with identity problems, are some of the things offered by the Oscar. A more mixed picture than in other years, so the interest does not fade, even if you survive for the new century, this ceremony needs this renovation - we do not know if it works, urgently.
