The dance of the supremacy of La La Land – Diário de Notícias – Lisbon

With 14 nominations, La La Land – Melody of Love apresta to be the big winner of the Oscars. A list with an inclusion that leaves Europe happy: Isabelle Huppert

The 14 nominations for La La Land – Melody of Love, Damien Chazelle not have been the big surprise of the list yesterday, released by the Academy. In Hollywood it was said that the film could even beat the record of Eve, by Joseph L. Mankiewicz and Titanic, James Cameron. Not beat but tie-o. The truth is that this time no longer no one is surprised by the supremacy of this musical post-modern. Chazelle has made a work that fell on the goto of everyone in America and, after success in the Golden Globes and be well launched on the prizes of the guilds, it is more than likely to be in the day 26 the big winner of this edition.

Surprises only in the absent and in some inclusions. Michael Shannon is a fair nomination as an actor secondary to Nocturnal Animals, but few would be expecting, mainly because Aaron Taylor Johnson, the villain of the same movie, I was taking you to the place in other ceremonies. Also somewhat surprisingly, the actress of british origin ethiopian Ruth Negga got the appointment in Loving, drama, inter-racial, Jeff Nichols (confirms that it will not come to the Portuguese cinemas), the film that in the fall had a huge campaign to have many more appointments….Regarding the case of Isabelle Huppert, it is not surprising, and the actress is even a favorite, although there is the question of She, Paul Verhoeven, not having been nominated for the best foreign language film (not entered in the last batch of pre-named…), a sign that the French actress is in the movie “cursed”. In fact, were appointments happy to the French-speakers: in addition to Huppert, the belgian La Tortue Rouge, Michael Dudok de Wit and Ma Vie Courgette, Claude Bars, are nominated in the category of best animation.

part of this, register the other two big winners of the nominations: The First Encounter, Dennis Villeneuve, and Moonlight, Barry Jenkins, both with eight nominations. If there is a coup de theatre, and La La Land will not win best picture, the drama of racial Jenkins is well positioned to be the unlikely surprise, not least because this is a year in which the movies and artists of color are well represented, and contrary to what happened last year.

In the race of the interpretations, the category most congested was the main actress. Big names were left out, and the five nominees were Emma Stone (La La Land); Isabelle Huppert (She); Ruth Negga (Loving), Meryl Streep (Florence, A Diva Were of Tone), and a fabulous Natalie Portman (Jackie). For now, the big favorite is Emma Stone, already awarded at the Venice film Festival. Amy Adams also came to be mistakenly on the site of the Academy, as named in the Arrival (could be also named the Nocturnal Animals and there are those who say that you may have been here a certain dispersion among the members of the Academy…), which you may want to say that was at the door. Furthermore, it is also Tom Hanks was the target of the same mistake the computer, the indication referring to the actor in the secondary, that never ceases to be bizarre, since the double oscarizado had the starring role in Sully – The Mirac le of the Hudson River, Clint Eastwood.

Less predictable were the nominations for best original screenplay. Yes there is some true diversity. The Academy highlighted the heritage of the memory of other times glorious Hollywood of La La Land, the neurosis familiar with the brand of Mike Mills in Women of the TWENTIETH Century (the movie that allegedly would have wings for the most nominations); the formal daring of Hell or High Water – no matter what the Cost, Taylor Sheridan; madness single from The Lobster, of Yorgos Lanthimos and the risk the theater of the dialogues of Kenneth Lonergan in the Manchester by The Sea. We deal in Lonergan for the prestige he has as a screenwriter, but if there is any vacancy total for La La Land is Chazelle, who shall go up to the stage to collect the Oscar.
