Difficult to The Oscar nominations 2019 view:

admin

Two favorites, no Directors, and a happy German. 91. Oscars can come, says Jochen Kürten. However, the award criteria are blurred – and a Moderator for the 24.02. there are not also even.



A Greek and a Mexican are the big winners in the Oscar nominations. “The Favourite” by the Greek Director Yorgos Lanthimos and “Roma” of the Mexican Alfonso Cuaron won ten nominations, including in the key categories of “Best Film” and “Best Director”. What about the Oscars and about the state of the US film, says?

Hollywood is in crisis? You can see the nominations for the 91. Oscar ceremony on 24. February takes place in different directions to interpret. An interpretation might look like this: Hollywood is not in crisis, but – as so often before in the history of film – the most creative minds from all over the world.

Hollywood to your attracts a lot of cash with ambitions

In the case of the best Directors of the third is Not even American: the Pole Pawel Pawlikowski. Hollywood seems to like a big sponge, the filmmakers absorbs from all over the world. Filmmakers all over the world dream of, once in the United States under the financially good terms of Hollywood work. Many have managed to be there in the last hundred years. At least as many of them are, however, also failed.

For his Film “Cold, Tomasz Kot as a Victor and Joanna Was” (in the picture Kulig as Zula) is nominated, the Pole Pawel Pawlikowski as a “Best Director”

Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, who was just nominated for his third Film, “the factory without the author”, is a good example – however, for the Failure of a Director in the United States. 2007 got von Donnersmarck an Oscar for “the lives of Others”. Then he turned the Star-vehicle “The Tourist” with Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp, an American-French co-production with a large Budget.

Artistically as well as financially it was a Disaster. But then the self-conscious Director reverted back to its roots and staged again a Film in his homeland – with a genuinely German (history)topic. And promptly, he is nominated again for an Oscar.

Of the Oscar: the price for the English-language film world – with exceptions

Amazing and striking aspect of this year’s nominations, the three “foreigners” in the choice of the best Director. Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck was nominated in another category for his Film in the best foreign language film. The criteria of the Oscars are only for professionals.

Cuarón, Lanthimos, and Pawlikowski were selected in the category “Best Film”. In the case of Lanthimos, this is understand – be Film “The Favourite” was filmed in English. Cuarón, but filmed with Mexican actors in Spanish, Pawlikowski has shot a lot of language film: “The Cold war” was staged in English, French, German, Italian, Croatian, Polish, and Russian.

Fuzzy criteria in the case of the Oscar categories

The Oscar is considered the most important English-speaking film world. As such, he is perceived – therefore, there is also the Sub-category “Best foreign language Film”. The nominations this year, it is difficult to understand against this Background. “Roma” is, for example, in the category “Best Film” nominated, but also in the category “Best foreign language Film”.

All the times nominated: “Roma” by Alfonso Cuarón

Maybe the Oscar Academy should adjust the criteria again. And then maybe once more, also think about why 2019 is not included in the two main categories of “Best Film” and “Best Director” not a single woman. This should again provide a lot of resentment in the coming weeks.

However, presumably in Hollywood and the Oscar Academy currently about something else a lot larger: Still it is not clear who the Show 24. February moderated. The has originally, as the host of the Evening provided for a black Comedian Kevin Hart dispensed with, known for his role as Host of the Gala in the Evening, after previous anti-gay Statements made by him were to become known, and he had to help thinking, then, of fierce criticism. Currently, it is speculated that the Oscar-the Academy will pass this year on a Moderator and the evening in several hands.
