From the Emmys to Toronto, from Telluride to Sundance, from "War in the Pacific" to "Buried Alive" to "Crazy in Love", in just six months, Renly completed an incredible triple jump , like a comet hitting the earth, was born in a dazzling and dazzling manner, and in the acclaim, the first Oscar nomination of his career was received in the bag!

At this time, Renly was only twenty-one years old.

When people revisited this year's Oscar nominations for the actor department, they found that the collective advantage of "Generation Y" has arrived, but it is far from being so strong as the media renders. The strong rise of the new generation has encountered American film art and science The academy's sluggishness passed by like a gust of autumn wind.

Fourteen-year-old Hailee Steinfeld, twenty-year-old Jennifer Lawrence, thirty-year-old Michelle Williams, twenty-nine-year-old Natalie Portman, the four in the actress department. nominees.

Jesse Katzenberg, 27, and Renly Hall, 21, are the two nominees in the actor division.

Of the twenty nominations for lead and supporting roles, "Generation Y" took six. Such momentum has created the best record in the 21st century, but it is still slightly inferior to the Golden Globe Awards.

Even the actress department is no exception.

In the supporting actress department, which has always liked to reward young actresses, only Haili was the only one who upset the shortlist; then the average winning age of the heroine department is 37 years old, not to mention, this year, there will be three under 30 years old. of actresses won the nomination, the lowest average age in the past decade.

Well, not to mention the male protagonists whose average age is forty-three years old, and the supporting male characters who have been reduced to nursing homes. After entering the Oscar nominations list, only two "Generation Y" actors have appeared on the list, which is a far cry from the strong momentum that runs through the awards season.

It was as if a pot of boiling water had been poured into the thick snow. This result is really disappointing.

In fact, to a true professional, it is not at all surprising, or even taken for granted, and completely expected.

Where there are people, there is a tendency. Even Oscar is no exception. With more than 6,000 academy judges, Oscar has tried his best to be fair and authoritative, but bias is still inevitable. The Oscars are, after all, an awards ceremony that belongs to Hollywood.

Historically, there have been constant controversies about the Oscars.

For example, white people are the absolute protagonists, and ethnic minorities represented by blacks, Latinos, and Asians are always disadvantaged groups, not to mention that there is still no Chinese who has won the nomination of major departments.

Another example is that women are at an absolute disadvantage. The dilemma that no female director won the Best Director Award in history did not end until 2010.

For example, young male actors are almost ignored, and the nomination stage is extremely difficult. When it is the turn of actresses, the older practitioners face a similar dilemma, even if they are strong, they will be difficult.

Not long after, in 2012, after "The Artist" won the Oscar for Best Picture in a controversial manner, the Academy for two consecutive years awarded the best picture to a conservative, introverted, stable, and tribute to the golden age, arousing the public. The frenzy of questioning, disappointment with Oscar, and even caused complaints from many practitioners in the industry.

Against this background, the Los Angeles Times stepped forward and conducted a professional investigation.

Only then did people discover that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has never officially announced the specific list of its members. Since membership is for life, there are not a few members who are no longer in the film industry. Among the voters are nannies and bookstore owners. And the retired peacekeeper recruiter is ironic.

The "Los Angeles Times" went deep into the industry, and sent a large number of reporters to conduct in-depth interviews through various methods such as phone calls, emails, and subscriptions to "Variety" and "The Hollywood Reporter". The true identities of more than 5,100 judges were confirmed.

After the statistics were over, the results caused a shock in the media, giving people a glimpse of the truth about Oscar for the first time.

According to calculations, the average age of Oscar judges is 62 years old, only 2% of the judges are younger than 40 years old, and 54% of the judges are older than 60 years old. Among them, there are hundreds of Academy members, who have not participated in any film or TV production for more than 20 or even 30 years.

In addition to this, the Academy has a total of fifteen chapters, actors, screenwriters, directors, producers, photographers and so on.

First and foremost, some chapters are almost exclusively white males by race and color. In every chapter, the percentage of white people is more than 90%; the only exception is the actors branch, where the percentage of white people is 88%. In the executive branch, ninety-eight percent of the members are white.

Secondly, in terms of gender, in the main Oscar selection departments, except for the actor branch, the proportion of men is more than 90%; what is even more frightening is that the Academy has a total of 43 board members, and only 6 are women. , and there is only one member of color.

Of course, this is an issue left over by history. After all, the Oscars have come to the 83rd session. Before the 1980s, the historical status of blacks and women also determined the foundation of members of the academy. As for the completely ignored Asians, even more Don't say more. in the past ten

Over the years, the Academy began to consciously absorb more fresh blood to increase the diversity of Oscar judges.

For example, Zhang/Zi/Yi opened the U.S. market in 2000 with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and later dedicated several notable works, and even almost won the title with "Gei/Shaman/Memoir". The Best Actress nomination, although she missed out in the end, she was invited to become a member of the Academy's judges.

Since 2004, the college has begun to publish the list of people invited to join the membership, but they will not further announce who has joined and who has declined.

After ten years of precipitation, the composition of the academy's judges has changed slightly. Eighty-nine percent are white and seventy-three percent are male. However, ethnic minorities and female members are still vulnerable groups.

The single nature of the members, which in turn led to a single perspective and a single point of view, also made the Oscar's awards trend every year to follow, and then there were "little golden snipers" like the Weinstein brothers.

In 2005, "Brokeback Mountain" lost to "Crash," which is not surprising at all; so far, only four female directors have been nominated for best director, which is not uncommon; this year, there are twenty seats in the actor department plus five in the director department. It is not surprising that all the seats are all white, and blacks are collectively absent.

Every once in a while, Oscar will face the accusation of being "too white", or if a bold and innovative work such as "social network" is cold, there are traces to follow, changing history, not just relying on the power of one work can be completed of. Even though the Oscars are the most prestigious and authoritative awards in the world
