What is the specific situation that makes me speechless? Sister Fan is here to explain it to everyone. Compared with those love melons that have no real results, this year's Academy Awards selection is simply "looking for rocks in a pile of gold", it's too catchy!

Just when everyone was watching Zifeng sister's love affair, the nomination list of the 40th Hong Kong Film Awards was quietly "online" on February 16.

After reading the list of nominations, Sister Fan just wanted to say, "The Hong Kong film industry is really capable of causing trouble"!

What is the specific situation of being speechless? Sister Fan is here to explain it to everyone. Compared with those love melons that have no real results, this year's Academy Award selection is simply "looking for stones in a pile of gold", it's too catchy!

Without further ado, let’s read on ↓

Andy Lau Sitting on the bench and making netizens laugh

The Academy Awards are divided into 19 categories of awards including Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best New Actor. Among them, the last few awards that are worth paying attention to are the best actor, best actress and best film.

Let’s talk about the nominations for Best Actor first.

After all, before the selection started, netizens and fans thought that this year would be a "Two Dragons Battle" between Andy Lau in "The Bomb Disposal Expert " and Nicholas Tse in "Fury".

The fact that the result is outrageous is that these two powerful actors in the hearts of the audience have not even touched the edge of the list.

Take " Bomb Disposal Expert 2" which has gathered a lot of big names as an example. Although it is a commercial action film, the plot line of "Bomb Disposal 2" is not weak compared to other nominated films.

Even before it was released, some people began to expect "Bomb Disposer 2" Lau Ching Wan and Andy Lau to be on the list to win awards.

After its release, "Bomb Demolition 2" lived up to expectations and received good results and reputation in both Hong Kong and the mainland (a box office of 1 billion in the mainland and a box office of 500 million in Hong Kong).

Especially when Andy Lau returns to such an action drama after many years, his dual portrayal of the character's identity and emotional handling are still in place.

The brotherhood is performed delicately, the identity reversal of the characters is surprising, and Andy Lau's personal fighting scenes are also full of punches... In the category of commercial films, the performance of the actors in "Bomb Demolition 2" is quite surprising.

In order to ensure the authenticity of the movie and the characters, Andy Lau also bent his knees and wore a prosthetic leg throughout the film to restore the true dynamics of the characters after amputation.

A film that can be considered a conscientious film, but in the end it only received three nominations for Best Visual Effects, Best Sound and Best Editing. Whether it will win or not is probably up in the air. In this case, it would be strange if netizens didn’t criticize him!

None of the powerful actors like Andy Lau and Liu Qingyun were on the list. how? Is it that the person who starred in "Burp Fart" doesn't deserve to be on the list?

Netizens believe that the Hong Kong Film Awards are like a stubborn old man who is "set on his own laurels" and "fake aloofness". While relying on commercial movies to create attention and controversy, they also blatantly reject such works.

As netizens said, Andy Lau did not win the Best Actor award and was benched this time. It was more like he was "accidentally injured" by the limitations of the film types nominated for the Academy Awards.

Nicholas Tse upset his manager and posted "What a surprise"

Nicholas Tse, who was sitting on the bench with Andy Lau, was also very regretful. After the nominations for the Academy Awards were announced, netizens in both Hong Kong and mainland China complained that there was something wrong with the nominations.

"The Fury" directed by Chen Musheng was acted by Nicholas Tse specifically for the director. There is still some meaning behind the film.

At first glance, " Fury·Serious Case " has 9 nominations for the Academy Awards, which looks like it is full of achievements.

In fact, apart from the two more important nominations of Best Director and Best Film, the other seven are all nominations for behind-the-scenes awards such as Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Action Design and Original Music, which reflect the performance of the actors. Just ignore it.

Nicholas Tse probably didn’t expect it! After not filming for such a long time, I finally came out to play a substantial and high-quality role. I didn't need a stand-in to complete all the action scenes myself. In the end, when the Hong Kong awards were judged, I couldn't even get the "love number plate"?

Let’s first objectively evaluate Nicholas Tse’s performance in “Rage”. As a former Grand Slam winner of the Academy Awards, Xiao Xie definitely still has some acting skills, but in recent years he has been obsessed with variety shows and improving his cooking skills.

After returning to the screen, Nicholas Tse's acting skills not only did not regress, but his emotional processing and psychological portrayal of characters became more mature than before.

Moreover, with the high-quality fight scenes and the identity changes between policemen, gangsters, and brothers, Chen Musheng and several leading actors can be said to be deliberately recreating the effect of high-quality Hong Kong films of the year.

Sure enough, after the movie was released, it won numerous awards in the mainland and received positive reviews from netizens.

As a result, Nicholas Tse returned to the home of Hong Kong films and failed to get nominated for the Academy Awards. Not only did Hong Kong fans not understand, but Nicholas Tse's agent Fok Wenxi also had no choice but to express "very surprised" and "disappointed".

His own artist failed to win the award, and he seems to be quite resentful about Huo Wenxi being nominated this time.

Xie Xian was accused of being "morally incompetent" on the list

The big king and the little king were directly excluded from the selection of the best actor. The little king Nicholas Tse's 80-year-old father Xie Xian actually won the "best actor" at the age of 6 nomination.

Not only the fan was confused, netizens were also confused.

Most netizens don’t even know when Xie Xian acted in a movie again, or when the movie he acted in was released... There are quite a few people who lamented that his "treasure sword is still young".

After some investigation by Sister Fan, I found out that the movie that Xie Xian was nominated for this time is called "Beyond Dusk", starring Lin Xue and other veteran actors.

This time, despite his 84-year-old age (at the time of filming), he rarely took off his iconic black sunglasses and appeared without makeup, playing the role of a killer who has retired to the crowd due to his age.

Not to mention, when keywords such as old killer, bare makeup, and aging hero are combined, the movie still has a good sense of gimmick.

Although the character of Xie Xian is a bit subversive, the ratings of Xie Xian's movie in the mainland are not as high as those of his son's movies.

was nominated for the Academy Awards this time, probably because he was named the Best Actor at the "2021 Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards" in January.

In that award, Xie Xian not only defeated strong competitors such as Daniel Wu , Lam Jiadong , but it was also the first time in his 69 years since his debut that he was nominated for Best Actor.

There is one reason why it is not surprising that Xie Xian was shortlisted for the Best Actor Award at the Academy Awards. No matter how many netizens accuse him of being "unworthy of his role", it is all in vain.

Sandra Ng Gong Li is expected to accompany the film after competing for the film

This time the Academy Award nomination, the position of best actor has already made netizens full of melons, but they did not expect that the female lead will be equally exciting.

ranked Sandra Ng and Gong Li at the "bottom" position. The two people most favored by the mainland audience directly became "accompanying runners".

Sandra Ng has been acting in comedies for many years. This time she changed her previous image of a "harlequin" and became a tear-jerking mother who accompanies her disabled son to become a gold medal athlete.

Sandra Ng has a very high popularity and a solid position in the film circles on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. This film that subverted her image immediately received a lot of comments from the audience after it was released.

Some netizens commented on Sandra Ng's image this time, saying that she had succeeded in moving from "overjoyed" to "tear-jerking". She portrayed the hard work of an athlete's mother and the love of an ordinary mother for her child so vividly.

Needless to say, Gong Li's " wins the championship", in the highlight moments of the Olympics and women's volleyball team, the purpose of the movie and her own restoration of the image of Lang Ping coach are just right.

These two powerful actors were shortlisted and it was expected by netizens.

Unexpectedly, the ones competing with them on the same stage not only have many flaws in their acting skills, but except for Wang Danni, the works of the other two are still relatively unfamiliar to netizens.

However, in the list of the best female protagonists estimated by Hong Kong media, Wang Danni and Liu Yase have the highest winning rate. Among them, Wang Danni's " Anita Mui " was nominated for 12 awards, and Liu Yase's "Wisdom Teeth" was nominated for 14 awards. Their strength should not be underestimated.

It is basically a certainty that others will accompany you.

Newcomer Wang Danni’s entry into the list was criticized for being too popular

It was mentioned earlier that newcomer Wang Danni’s “Anita Mui” was nominated for 12 awards, but as to whether she can win the Best Actress, the opinions of netizens and the media are quite polarized.

She should not be able to win the Newcomer Award. As a model, she can play a leading role in "Anita Mui". This is very strong for new artists in Hong Kong.

But her biggest controversy is that she was nominated for "Best Actress". Objectively speaking, if she had not played Anita Mui, and she was judged solely on her acting skills, she might not have even been shortlisted for the nomination.

When netizens discuss who can win the championship, few people will focus on her.

Many netizens believe that she was able to reach the nomination list of female protagonists because she took advantage of Anita Mui's popularity, and the praise given was all directed at Anita Mui, not Wang Danni.

After all, compared with the list of nominations for Best Actor, even Andy Lau and Nicholas Tse were brushed off. With her strength, it is a complete "idiot's dream" to surpass the two mountains of Gong Li and Sandra Ng.

written at the end

In the golden age of Hong Kong movies, the gold content of the Hong Kong Film Awards, regarded as the "Oscars of the East", was self-evident. The quality of the films and actors selected that year was extremely high. But after that era when powerful actors blossomed everywhere, the quality of Hong Kong films dropped off a cliff.

This time the nominations for the Academy Awards have been released. From the above nominations, you can clearly see that the quality of actors varies. Although the directors are still the same, the nominated actors are either veteran actors with many achievements or newcomers who are just starting out.

"Nothing to pick up" is the most heart-wrenching comment from netizens on the nominations for this year's Academy Awards, and it is also the most pertinent positioning of the Hong Kong film industry.

The Hong Kong Academy Awards have gone from being a "hot cake" that everyone was competing for, to becoming a symbol of Hong Kong filmmakers' self-confidence.

Although the nominations are "disruptive", netizens are still speculating on who will win the position of best actor and best actress this year. Sister Fan is also curious, is it the veteran Ting Fung’s father and newcomer Wang Danni who won the award in the end, or is there another surprise?
