呼声最高的几部基本都是人物传记、古装戏和爱情片(学院派啥时能改下口味啊?) Feinberg points out that the film covers many of the same topics Academy Award-winning films often do, among which are biopic, period piece and love story.
【Kristopher Tapley】 Finally, the dark horse: Jake Gyllenhaal. I've already written about how deftly Gyllenhaal gets under the skin of his creepy, ambitious character in Dan Gilroy's "Nightcrawler." It's a performance worth pulling for in the race because it's so outside the generally agreed-upon standard for "prestige" or "awards" players. Sometimes those can land just right. Terrence Howard in "Hustle & Flow," for instance. This is an exercise in control and building atmosphere with inflection and behavior, the kind of thing, surely, Gyllenhaal's fellow actors will appreciate. And it's really just another in a long line of stand-out portrayals from the 33-year-old actor. It's tight and finding room to maneuver is next to impossible, but the guy deserves to be in the conversation. 最后,黑马:杰克.吉伦哈尔。我曾在之前的影评中提及过吉伦哈尔如何巧妙地化身为疯狂、野心勃勃的丹.罗格伊尔的《夜行者》男主。男主之争应该算他一份,因为他的表演和学院派完全不一样。那类教科书式的表演有时只是不过不失。比如《川流熙攘》里的特伦斯.哈沃德。而杰克的表演却是通过变化和行为去控制和建立起某种氛围,当然,吉伦哈尔之后的演员会对此感激不尽。而这只是这位33岁的演员长长的杰出表演列表中的一个而已。男主之争太激烈可能没啥机会了,但这家伙值得被考虑。
【Sasha Stone】 Jake Gyllenhaal Join the much too crowded Best Actor Race,...Gyllenhaal does a fantastic job channeling Louis' outrageous and overwrought personality, whether he’s offering up lame sermons on entrepreneurship or tying his greasy long hair into a knot. ...Better for Gyllenhaal if his performance didn't recall other performances and better if the film is a contender for Best Picture but a good performance is a good performance and it’s worth noting. 杰克.吉伦哈尔在异常激烈的男主之争中插上一脚...吉伦哈尔塑造的路易斯太出彩了——粗鲁而紧张兮兮,不管是在做差劲的创业说教,还是试图扎起他油腻腻的长发...如果本片能进入十佳、如果他的表演没让人想到其他类似表演或许会更有机会。但好的表演就是好表演,值得关注。
