Oscar season marks many new points and "firsts"
In the early days of the 2019 Oscar launch, not long after the 91st Oscar was announced to have an additional Best Public Film category, the US Academy decided to withdraw the new award on the grounds that more time was needed to discuss.
However, looking at the shortlisted nominations for the 2019 Oscar, it is worth mentioning the two films Black Panther and Bohemian Rhapsody. The superhero film genre and the idol film genre with LGBT community characters are completely popular, attracting a large fan base and expressing the American Academy's open view of works that seem to have few artistic elements but have global appeal.
Although he did not win the important award for Best Actress, with Bohemian Rhapsody, Rami Malek became the first actor of Arab origin to receive an Oscar for Best Actor along with the awards for Best Director, Best sound editing, Best Choreography.
"Black Panther" won gold medals for the "Best Production Design" award, "Best Costume Design" award, "Best Film Music". Also a superhero film category was crowned, the category of Best animated film honored Spider-Man: into the Spider- Verse.
Mexican director Alfonso Cuaron became the first person in Oscar history to win the "Best Director" Golden Swallow for a Foreign-language Work. Rome was also named in the category of Best Foreign Language Film.
Mahershala Ali is also the first colorful Islam actor to win the Best Supporting Actor category twice. The two films that Mahershala Ali starred in, Moonlight and Green Book, both became Best films.
This year's Oscar organization also attracted attention when after 30 years, this prestigious awards ceremony did not have an MC as host. Instead, the Organizing Committee arranged a series of stars from many generations of famous Hollywood actors to take turns introducing at the ceremony. Notable names such as Daniel cra cra craft, Chris Evans, Tina Fey, Michael Keaton, Helen Mirren, John Mulaney... are enough to attract the public.
Evidence shows that the 91st Oscar was short, less "dild wagged" by the host's familiar mockery and spent a lot of time elaborately staging performances that moved the audience.
Oscar 2019 still does not really satisfy the audience
In recent years, when the most prestigious category of "Best Film" was announced, many conflicting opinions appeared continuously with a high density of both critics and audiences.
little outstanding among the remaining candidates, Green Book unexpectedly won the highest award. Set in the southern United States in the late 60s, the film recreates the journey between the leather piano genius Dr Don Shirley and Tony "Lip" Vallelonga - his white friend who drove him. The issue of race is mentioned in the film gently, not too harsh as in BlacKKlansman, the film is not too heavily political like The Favorite and follows traditional storytelling style, instead of leaning towards aesthetics like Roma.
The fact that Green Book holds the Oscar gold statue shows that despite encouraging new ideas, the American Academy still saves the most important category.
