The 84th Oscars has come to an end, and "The Artist" finally won 5 awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Score, and Best Costume Design, becoming the well-deserved winner. Best Actress won by Meryl Streep. Christopher Plummer and Octavia Spencer won Best Supporting Actor and Actor respectively. "Hugo" also won 5 awards, but mainly technical awards.

Ifeng.com Entertainment News At 7 a.m. Beijing time on the 27th and the afternoon of the 26th local time, the 84th Academy Awards ceremony was held grandly at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles, USA. Many earlier speculations had predicted that this year's Oscars would be dominated by "The Artist", with several veterans such as Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen and Meryl Streep competing against each other. The result was no surprise. "The Artist" won several heavyweight awards such as Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Costume, and Best Original Music; the Best Actress was won by Meryl Streep for "The Iron Lady"; the Iranian film "Nader and Simin: Once" "The Farewell" was widely expected to win the Best Foreign Language Film Award; Martin Scorsese's "Hugo" won five technical awards including Best Visual Effects, Best Cinematography, and Best Sound Effects for its excellent audio-visual effects; Woody Allen won the Best Original Screenplay Award for "Midnight in Paris". "War Horse" directed by Spielberg and "Moneyball" starring Brad Pitt failed to produce any results.

"The Artist" swept five awards and the French won Oscars for Best Director and Actor

"The Artist", which paid tribute to the silent film era, won several heavyweight awards such as Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Costume, and Best Original Music. Apart from the first Oscar, no silent film has ever won the Oscar for Best Picture. Since "Oliver" in 1968, no film that has won the Golden Globe Award for Best Musical/Comedy has also won the two most important Oscars, Best Picture and Best Director.

Director Michel Hazanavicius "The Artist" Michael once gained attention in the European film industry with the adventure comedy "French Agent 117". In 2011, the new work "The Artist" completely changed the previous style. The black and white silent film "The Artist" took the audience back to Hollywood in 1927, and with this film, it swept many awards during the awards season. The heroine of the film, Berenice Bejo, is her wife. Michael Hazanavicius said humorously in his acceptance speech: 'I want to thank the dog Uggie, even though he may not care. ?/FONT>

Jean Dujardin, who won the Best Actor Award for this film, is the first French actor to win the Oscar. He is the only other foreigner to win the Best Actor Award after "Life is Beautiful" in 1999. The opponents he defeated were also strong, including George Bruni, the heartthrob Brad Pitt, veteran actor Gary Lidman, etc. who were generally optimistic before. He also won the Palme d'Or at the 64th Cannes Film Festival in one fell swoop.

"The Artist" was selected as a surprise film in the competition section of last year's Cannes Film Festival, and became a Palme d'Or contender at the last moment. In the end, Jean?#26460; Jardan won the best actor crown with this film. Many classic scenes from classic movies appear in the film, including "A Star Is Born", "Singin' in the Rain", etc. The director also used the protagonist George in the 1920 silent film "The Mark of Zorro". George's clever pet dog Jack in the film is reminiscent of Milou (Snow) in "The Adventures of Tintin", which is another tribute to the Belgian cartoonist Hergé. Its strong rivals are The Artist, The Descendants, Loud and Close, The Help, Hugo, Midnight in Paris, Moneyball, The Tree of Life, and War Horse.

"A Separation" lived up to expectations and Iranian films overcame all obstacles[/b]

The Best Foreign Language Film Award went to the Iranian film "Nad and Simin: A Separation" without any suspense. With an investment of US$300,000, a solid script, skillful directing skills, and a profound discussion of human nature, class, religion, and conscience, this film has become an Iranian film under many taboos. This is the first time an Iranian film has won an Oscar. The film won the Golden Bear Award for Best Director, Film and Actress at the 2011 Berlin Film Festival, and also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film that year. The film’s win may be a revelation to many domestic filmmakers: Are the taboos of politics and censorship the whole story of movies?
