| Daniel Craig in Skyfall |
The franchise has historically
always developed away from the American ceremony. But the 23rd James Bond has
reason to believe in his chances. Only seven nominations and two oscars are to
the top of the franchise James Bond, who is now twenty-three films since the
release of Skyfall. And the components of the saga were each time appointed in
categories say minor. For the 85th edition of the most prestigious of the
ceremonies of the cinema, the production of the film is well represented. This
is Sam Mendes, who started the seduction number, reports the Los Angeles Times.
According to the daily, the Director spends much of his time in Hollywood, to
meet producers and directors, very influential associations in the middle of
the seventh art. A special screening of Skyfall was even held earlier this
month, for representatives of the Academy of the Oscars. Producers Michael g.
Wilson and Barbara Broccoli were present in the company of the two James Bond
Girls Bernice Marlohe and Jorge Harris. Skyfall has reason to believe in his
chances. The press was almost unanimous. The performance of Daniel Craig was
widely hailed for interpreting very faithful to the books of Ian Fleming. But
it's especially Javier Bardem who has received attention. The Guardian believes
the Spanish actor is shade for Daniel Craig, with which he played a
gay-friendly scene that marked the spirits. After opened his star on Hollywood
Boulevard, Bardem could be a contender if not for the Oscar for best actor, at
least for the supporting actor. Feminine, the James Bond Girls are less present
in Skyfall. The plot is centered on M, played by Judi Dench. Already rewarded
for her role in Shakespeare in Love in 1999, actress has repeatedly nominated
for the Academy Award for best actress. It could be part of the potential names
in the running for the statuette. Roger Deakins, the cinematographer already
was appointed nine times at the Oscars for No Country for Old Men. It is
therefore a serious candidate for the film crew. As Sam Mendes as Director, or
Skyfall in the best film category, the competition will be very hard. It could
be confronted with Steven Spielberg with his Lincoln film, or even Ben Laden
stalking recounted in Zero Dark Thirty of Kathryn Bigelow. Django Unchained,
Quentin Tarantino, could also appeal to the Academy, as The Artist had done
previously. The announcement of the appointments will be made public on January
10 and the awards ceremony will take place on February 24, in Los Angeles.
