Mexican director and his "returnee" is the absolute favorite of this year, although it is difficult, but not impossible, for two consecutive years to take all the major Oscar categories
If Leonardo DiCaprio tonight not win the Oscar, you will receive a consolation prize from Russia - a hundred people from the Russian city of Yakutsk already donated their gold and silver to be melted down and used in making statues of men, who hold the traditional goblet, or specific to Yakutsk. Fans from Siberia to the way they want to express their love for the celebrated actor. The cup will be made of gold, while the statue to be made of silver. Size statue will be determined depending on the amount of silver that have been collected, but will not be less than 30 centimeters.
The names of the winners of the golden statuettes in a number of categories already in envelopes that tonight 88th time be open to the glamorous ceremony at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
In a rather tense and at times awkward campaign that accompanied this year's Oscars - the absence of nominated African-Americans, which is why many prominent names from this community announced a boycott of the event, the reactions of female artists who, also, for years there in the innermost circle of, for example, directing - DiCaprio and fun of it (before the prize will get a bear from the movie "Tropic" (Revenant) than he or computer games in which he on the red carpet desperately chasing Oscar acting relaxing.
All predictions are extremely ungrateful - last year's favorite, the film "Growing up" by Richard Linklater, lost all the most important prize, picked them "Birdman" Alejandro Gonzalez Injaritua. Mexican director and his "Tropic" with 12 nominations is the absolute favorite of this year, although it is difficult, but not impossible with this film, two years in a row to take all the gold statuettes in key categories.
Professional associations, critics and guild awards to meet Oscar favored the "returnees", "under the spotlight" (Spotlight) and "Fraud century" (The Big Short). There should not zamemariti movie "Mad Max: Fury Road," with 10 nominations and much less affection profession than these three rivals; at the end to Oscar-winning score this not overly Oscars action realization could be much better than in the case of the current favorites. Although it is hard to understand that glossy Tom Hardy was not nominated for best actor in "Mad Max", but the episode in the "returnees". Seriously the absence of nominations deprived and his partner Charlize Theron, warrior rebel Imperator Furiosa. Or, would not it be fascinating to see that movie such as "The Room", with only four nominations, although all of the key, making good British film "Chariots of Fire" of 1981, which is out of the saddle all the favorites, won the Oscar for best Picture, making one of the biggest confusion in the history of the most prestigious film awards. And it could happen.
