When I posed the hypothetical Oscarfailure of "Lincoln" as a Twitter question, I got all sorts of hilarious and/or informative topekafirstassembly blog
in return (in conjunction with acrid reminders that I was writing the
epitaph before the funeral). Very a couple of folks pointed out, on the
other hand, that "Lincoln" just is not the kind of film that wins best
image these days.Some readers suggested that Disney and Dream.Works
pursued a flawed campaign tactic on "Lincoln's" behalf, lying low and
relying on Hollywood's guilds to support the movie.
Then it was "Argo" in October, "Lincoln" in November, "Les Misrables"
in early December, "Zero Dark Thirty" later that month, then "Lincoln"
again after the Oscar nominations, and finally "Argo" 1 additional time.
In this reading, "http://www.topekafirstassembly.com/"
only sticks out mainly because it was the "last poor get in touch with
folks created."Many men and women, in a variety of ways, reminded me
that a SpielbergtoAffleck generational shift has currently occurred in
Hollywood and within the Academy, and it's just that we haven't quite
gotten applied to it.
Whatever occurs on Sunday, a breezy, midbudget genre image with a
veneer of vague sophistication is far more common of recent Oscarwinners
than is a large, thumping historical drama from which We Understand
Items."Argo" is of course a historical drama of a sort, one that
reprocesses the tortured contradictions of Cold War politics circa 1980
into a enjoyable, fastmoving and basically formulaic entertainment
driven by classic rock, funny garments and amply blowdried hair. It is a
clever and canny film that renounces any significant ambitions, in lieu
of a thoughtful and really serious film that proclaims its own
profundity.
