2014多伦多电影节的头几天的电影排期已定，但对于如此盛大的奖季的开始而言，这是个反常的缓慢启动。由于规则的改变——今年多伦多电影节的头四天，只用那些之前没有在其他电影节（就如特柳赖德电影节）公映过的电影才能高调参加，这也就意味着一些潜在的大热门比如《狐狸猎手》、《模仿游戏》和《荒野》（R姐主演）等都得坐等排到下周了。

也就是说，在这头几天里，我们将看到杰森.雷特曼的严肃剧情片《男人女人和孩子》的首映，“精神错乱”的杰克.吉伦哈尔在非常棒的心理恐怖片《夜行者》中的精彩表现，以及迷人的诺亚.鲍姆巴赫导演的《青春少年时》，和之前广受欢迎并将在加拿大首映的《透纳先生》。

奥斯卡奖项竞争者就竞有哪些还是个未知数，前面提及的影片中，有一些值得注意的佳作可能会随着奖季的展开得到越来越热烈的追捧。更多佳作会出现在本年度多伦多电影节后的奥斯卡之争中。

迄今为止多伦多电影节最大的热门是编剧兼导演丹.吉尔罗伊的《夜行者》。这部扭曲的、充满黑色幽默且令人毛骨悚然的电影展现了一场绝佳的表演——杰克.吉伦哈尔扮演的古怪却被无穷欲望驱使的男人。他一开始是一名自由摄影师，拍下车祸的灾难现场、非法闯入等场景的影像，卖给当地新闻网络作为晨间广播的素材。

吉伦哈尔在电影中的表演绝对是现象级的，使人震惊的是，他在场景转换中设法同时展现出讨人厌与迷人的一面。
他可以在今年追逐奥斯卡最佳男演员的提名，但这真的有赖于其发行商“开路”电影公司愿意多大程度地进行冲奥选战。我可以预见他们会提名蕾妮.罗素为最佳女配角，因为她绝妙地描绘了一个道德上有问题的电视制作人——特别是目前这个类别的竞争特别小——但是我不得不再一次强调，这取决于“开路”电影公司是否愿意发起一系列活动来支持演员夺奖。

如果《夜行者》真的名声大噪，我也不能排除这和詹姆斯.纽顿.霍华德行云流水般令人惊艳的配乐，以及摄影师罗伯特.埃尔斯威特那让人难忘的卓越摄影技巧息息相关。不可否认的是，使电影更感人的原因主要是完美地选择了35mm摄像头来拍摄夜间场景。吉尔罗伊扭曲的、指控性的剧本（让人想到了《出租车司机》 或者《电视台风云》），同样值得奥斯卡最佳原创剧本提名。

Oscar Beat TIFF 2014 Edition: Part 1 – Jake Gyllenhaal, MR. TURNER, and the Return of Jason Reitman
by Adam Chitwood

While major Oscar contenders have yet to surface, there are a few noticeable standouts from the aforementioned features that could pick up steam as the season rolls on. More after the jump in this TIFF 2014 edition of Oscar Beat.
The biggest breakout of TIFF thus far has been writer/director Dan Gilroy’s Nightcrawler. The twisted, darkly funny, and thrilling picture features a fantastic lead performance by Jake Gyllenhaal as an odd but driven man who starts working as a freelance photographer, taking video of grisly car crashes, break-ins, etc. that he then sells to the local news networks for their morning broadcasts.

Gyllenhaal is positively phenomenal in the film, and he astounds from one scene to the next as he manages to be both revolting and captivating at the same time. He could be in the running for a Best Actor nod in this year’s Oscar race, but it really depends on how heavy Open Road Films pushes their campaign. I could see them landing Rene Russo a Best Supporting Actress nomination as well for her excellent portrayal of a morally questionable TV producer—especially since the field is looking so thin—but again, it really depends on whether Open Road is willing to launch a serious awards campaign.
If Nightcrawler really breaks out, I also wouldn’t rule out nominations for James Newton Howard’s surprisingly dynamic score and cinematographer Robert Elswit’s stellar, haunting camera work, which is made all the more impressive by the fact that the mostly nighttime-set pic was shot on good ol’ 35mm. Gilroy’s twisted, indicting screenplay (which is reminiscent of Taxi Driver or Network) is worthy of a Best Original Screenplay nomination as well.

The End
