For moviegoers, February means the start of the Oscar excitement. The nominations for the 94th Academy Awards have finally been announced. In this year's awards, " The Power Of The Dog " won more visible nominations with the effect of South Korean production " Parasite ", which made history by winning the " Best Film " award for films such as Norwegian production " The Worst Person In The World " and Japanese production " Drive My Car ". Outstanding with 12 nominations in position. The movie of the ' Dune ' series, which has been eagerly awaited for a while , managed to win 10 nominations, especially as the strongest favorite of the technical branches. ' Belfast ', one of the ambitious British films of the year , and Steven Spielberg 's adaptation of ' West Side Story ' also drew attention with 7 nominations. As expected in 'Best Animated', ' Encanto ' , ' Luca ', ' Raya And The Last Dragon ', ' The Mitchells vs. the Machines ' and Danish production " Flee " were nominated.It is almost certain that he will go to ' Encanto ' , which has achieved remarkable list successes in many countries, including Turkey.
Asghar Farhadi's movie 'A Hero' failed to make it to the top 5!
The nominees for 'Best Original Screenplay' were ' Belfast ' , ' Don't Look Up ', ' King Richard ', ' Licorice Pizza ' and Norwegian production ' The Worst Person In The World '. If we remember that the awards in the 'Best Original Screenplay' category are usually given to 'smile' and 'sympathetic' films such as ' Little Miss Sunshine' and 'Juno', we can say that ' Licorice Pizza ' has a high chance . ' Best Adapted Screenplay ' is a Japanese film'The films ' The Lost Daughter ', ' The Power Of The Dog ', ' Dune ' and ' CODA ' based on Elena Ferrante 's book received nominations. The biggest favorite of the year in this category, ' The Power Of The Dog ', seems unlikely to lose the award to someone else. The nominations in the ' Best International Film ' category, on the other hand, managed to surprise as they do every year. The new Asghar Farhadi movie, ' A Hero ' , which was awarded twice in this category with the films ' A Separation ' and ' The Salesman ' and remained in the top 15 list , is surprisingly in the top 5 e could not stay. Japan' Drive My Car ' from Norway , ' The Worst Person In The World ' from Norway, 'Flee ' from Denmark , ' The Hand Of God ' from Italy and ' Lunana : A Yak In The Classroom ' from Bhutan . Japanese movie ' Drive My Car ', which surprisingly won ' Best Film ' and ' Best Director ' nominations in this category, reached an unrivaled position after its strong rival, ' A Hero ', could not stay in the top 5.The probability of the award going to Japan in this category is quite high.
Will Nicole Kidman get another Oscar?
Nominations were made for ' Best Supporting Actor ' for ' Belfast ' Claran Hinds , ' CODA ' Troy Kotsur , ' The Power Of The Dog ' Jesse Plemons and Kodi Smit-McPhee 's and ' Being The Ricardos ' JK Simmons . In this category, the award is likely to go to one of the ' Power Of The Dog ' actors, especially Kodi Smit-McPhee . Jessie Buckley from ' The Lost Daughter ' for ' Best Supporting Actress 'We see Ariana DeBose , Judi Dench from ' Belfast ' , Kirsten Dunst from The Power Of The Dog and Aunjanue Ellis from ' King Richard ' nominated. Although it did not have the expected effect at the box office , Ariana DeBose with ' West Side Story ' can take advantage of not having a very strong rival in this branch. We can say that it was an interesting surprise that Judi Dench added an Oscar nomination to her name despite her acting in ' Belfast ', which is a bit too much for many. ' Best Actor 'Javier Bardem from Being The Ricardos , Benedict Cumberbatch from ' The Power Of The Dog ' , ' tick, tick... BOOM! We see Andrew Garfield from ' King Richard ' Will Smith and Denzel Washington from ' The Tragedy Of Macbeth ' . In this category, it seems certain that this year's award will go to one of Benedict Cumberbatch and Will Smith . The ' Best Actress ' branch seems to be quite contentious. Nominated for ' The Eyes Of Tammy Faye 'Olivia Colman , one of the industry's favorite actresses, with ' The Lost Daughter ', Nicole Kidman , who surprised positively with ' Being The Ricardos ', Kristen Stewart , who was both admired and criticized for her performance of ' Spencer ', and Spanish director Pedro Almodovar 's unpopular ' Parallel Mothers '. starring Penelope Cruz . Frankly, we can be most surprised in this category this year. Kristen Stewart was admired by some and slapped by others. Penelope CruzIt is quite surprising that 's did not show a great performance and won a nomination in this branch. It is debatable whether Olivia Colman 's nomination-guaranteed performance will be enough to win an award. If we remember that the Academy loves 'flashy acting under make-up', Nicole Kidman and Jessica Chastain are the closest names to the award in my eyes. We can say that Nicole Kidman , who was previously an Oscar winner , is in a slightly more advantageous position than Jessica Chastain , whose film was not liked very much .
Will a 'Parasite' come out of the Japanese movie 'Drive My Car'?
This year, we have a Japanese surprise for the nominees in the 'Best Director' category . ' Drive My Car ' exceeded expectations and earned a nomination for ' Best Director '. Steven Spielberg for ' West Side Story ' and Paul Thomas Anderson for ' Licorice Pizza ', as expected, found themselves in the nominations. Jane Campion , who was the favorite of the year in terms of nominations with ' The Power Of The Dog ' , was also nominated as expected. What was surprising to me was the nomination for Kenneth Branagh for his British film ' Belfast ' , which was poorly directed as a director .' According to some, it was a very sympathetic film, and according to others, it was a rather 'incomplete' film. Considering that this sense of 'incompleteness' is especially noticeable in the script and a little bit in the directing, Belfast 's nomination for its director in this branch may have been realized with an approach like "We don't skip British films". The ' Best Director ' award is likely to go to Jane Campion with ' The Power Of The Dog ' . Although Steven Spielberg put forward a good adaptation in ' West Side Story ', the probability of the film to embrace the award in this category is not very strong. For Paul Thomas Anderson , who could never meet with an Oscar , '' I think it's not that much of an 'award-winning' movie, at least in the ' Best Director ' category.
The Power Of The Dog' may experience 'double glory' this year
And let's come to the most important nomination... This year, we see 10 films in the ' Best Film ' category. ' Belfast ', ' CODA ', ' Don't Look Up ', ' Drive My Car ', ' Dune ', ' King Richard ', ' Licorice Pizza ', ' Nightmare Alley ', ' The Power Of The Dog ' and ' West Side Story ' movies that managed to stay in the top 10. When we look at the nominations, ' CODA ', ' Nightmare Alley ' and the controversial and talked about ' Don't Look Up ' We see that his chances are slim. Japanese movie 'It is obvious that Drive My Car is a bit far from creating a ' Parasite ' effect. Despite its sympathy, ' Licorice Pizza ' is not an ambitious movie enough to get ' Best Film '. It's kind of hard to expect ' Dune ' to be a ' Lord Of The Rings ' and think it shines apart from technical branches. Among the remaining 4 films , the chances of ' King Richard ' seem a little low, but it may surprise. ' Belfast ' is a British film like itself, ' The King's Speech ', which won an Oscar in the ' Best Picture ' category in 2010 .' is far from creating an effect. In my opinion, the two strong candidates in this category are ' The Power Of The Dog ' and ' West Side Story '. However, it is obvious that ' West Side Story ' failed to arouse the expected interest in the box office and the audience. The nominations won by ' The Power Of The Dog ' and the interest it has captured on digital platforms are great. So this year ' The Power Of The Dog ' may not only win ' Best Director ' but also ' Best Picture '. Let 's see if Jane Campion can win a 'double victory'... The award ceremony, which was rather dull last year due to the pandemic, may enter our hearts again this year. Let's keep our hope.
