Tema: Oscars 2015

¿No creéis que Birdman debería haber sido nominada al mejor montaje también?

Por mucho que simule un plano único, ahí hay una edición de montaje muy currada para que sea esa simulación.

No sé, quizás técnicamente no se le pueda llamar montaje, pero creo que debería ser visto así.

Yo mismo me hacía esa pregunta de romita sobre la no inclusión de Birdman en mejor montaje. Quién sabe. Desde luego, no voy yo a venir a enmendarles la plana a los montadores (mucha mujer en el oficio, ojo) que son los y las que han votado las nominaciones.

Dicho esto, me parece interesante ofreceros una ronda de reacciones ante la nominación cosechada por distintos personajes, que fueron protagonista ayer.

“It’s a huge honor for the film but I am most excited for my long-time collaborators (over 20 years) Sandra Adair and Ethan Hawke and for our new, well not so new, partners Cathleen Sutherland and Patricia Arquette. I am also very thankful to Jonathan Sehring and everyone at IFC Films for their tremendous support, to my good friend John Sloss and to everyone else who worked on the film. I am especially thankful to the young actors Ellar Coltrane and Lorelei Linklater without whom there would have been no movie and who became wonderful young adults in the process.”
-Writer/Director/Producer Richard Linklater, Academy Award Nominee for Best Picture, Achievement in Directing and Original Screenplay for BOYHOOD

“Well, this is surreal. I am completely knocked out. Thank you to the Academy for this incredible honor. I am very proud and lucky to be a part of Birdman and can’t believe it came to this. I am so f***ing excited. Are you allowed to say f*** when you’re making a statement for the Oscars? I’m just really f***ing excited.” –Emma Stone

“I’m incredibly honored to be nominated for editing BOYHOOD. To see the film get this kind of recognition is very humbling. I feel privileged to have been a part of Richard Linklater’s team on this incredible twelve year journey.”
– Editor Sandra Adair, Academy Award Nominee for Achievement in Film Editing for BOYHOOD

“I’m completely humbled. Being a part of Chris Nolan’s passion to push the envelope and bring the medium to new levels has been an epic experience.”
-Gary Rizzo, Best Sound Mixing Nominee, INTERSTELLAR

“When you have the creative insight of Christopher Nolan and the many talents that our team brought to the table it was a stimulating collaboration that I was honored to work on.”
-Gregg Landaker, Best Sound Mixing Nominee, INTERSTELLAR

“INTERSTELLAR’s nomination for Best Visual Effects is a great honour for us and sets a wonderful seal of approval on the amazing work from all the artists in our visual effects, special effects and miniature effects teams. We couldn’t be more excited!”
-Paul Franklin, Best Visual Effects Nominee, INTERSTELLAR

“Without a shadow of doubt, the score for INTERSTELLAR was Chris and I at our most collaborative. Even in this modern world of texting and emailing, sometimes all you need is a simple, type-written letter from your director to spark what undoubtedly became one of the most personal scores I’ve ever written. Chris and I make movies family-style – so much of the film’s music was written with our children in mind, and that’s what makes this honor by the Academy really special. This is as much his score as it is mine.”
– Hans Zimmer, Best Original Score Nominee, INTERSTELLAR

“As kids growing up in Canada and Iowa, Chris and I both dreamt of becoming Disney animators. Never could we have imagined that, one day, we would get to make a film like Big Hero 6, and that one day, the film and all of the talented artists who made it would be recognized by the Academy. Roy, Chris and I are deeply honored by the nomination and thank everyone at Disney Animation who made this possible.”
– BIG HERO 6 Director Don Hall, on behalf of himself, Director Chris Williams and Producer Roy Conli

“It’s a great honor and I’m glad to be representing UNBROKEN, but in the end I’m just happy to be given the opportunity to work on the films that I do and to work with such inspiring directors like Angie. Making this film was a great joy with an enormously talented group of people.”
**Roger Deakins now has the most nominations for Cinematography of any living person with 12. Charles B. Lang, Jr. and Leon Shamroy share the all-time record with 18 nominations each.
Roger Deakins, Cinematography

“I’m so incredibly honored to be recognized by the Academy, and even more thrilled to share this honor with the entire family of filmmakers, cast, and crew of “The Theory of Everything.” This role was a once in a lifetime experience. Congratulations to my fellow nominees, thank you to the Academy, and thank you most of all to Stephen and Jane Hawking.”
-Eddie Redmayne, Academy Award Nominee for Best Actor In A Leading Role (THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING)

“It’s a tremendous feeling to be recognized by your colleagues and peers. We’re an independent film that’s been embraced by movie-goers and the industry. I’m greatly honored on behalf of all the immensely talented people who brought Nightcrawler to life, including my incredible cast and crew, and the terrific team at Open Road Films.”
– Dan Gilroy, Academy Award Nominee for Best Original Screenplay for NIGHTCRAWLER

“In a year with so many beautiful animated shorts, we are surprised, humbled, thrilled to be included among the nominees by the Academy. Making “Feast” alongside my favorite artists and best friends at Disney Animation was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It is their hard work and talent that made the film what it is and I am so excited to share this nomination with them.”
Patrick Osborne, Director, FEAST

“We are very grateful to be nominated. It has been a once-in-lifetime experience to work on Unbroken. Angelina is such a gifted director. She brought together an amazing cast and an extremely creative post team to achieve her vision.”
Jon Taylor & Frank Montano, Sound Mixing

“We are so appreciative of the nomination. With Unbroken, we were blessed with a visionary director in Angelina and a talented team to collaborate with. We are so lucky to have had the chance to be involved in portraying the life of Louis Zamperini.”
Becky Sullivan & Andrew DiCristofaro, Sound Editing

“What a tremendous honor! We are all terrifically excited and grateful to the Motion Picture Academy. LEVIATHAN examines difficult truths, both about life in Russia and about man’s universal struggle against an indifferent system, so I am especially proud that the Russian committee submitted LEVIATHAN as our country’s Oscar selection. I hope that audiences will feel a connection with our characters, no matter where they live, and I share this lovely moment with the film’s producers and my gifted cast and crew.”
– Andrey Zvyagintsev (director, co-writer) of the nominated film LEVIATHAN (Russia).

“I am so proud of our whole Imitation Game family this morning. To receive a response like this from the Academy is the most thrilling professional honor of my life, and getting to be involved in telling Alan Turing’s story on screen has been the most fulfilling personal honor imaginable. This was Alan’s life; I’m so proud to have gotten to help make a film about it.”
– Graham Moore, Best Adapted Screenplay, THE IMITATION GAME

“Much gratitude to the Academy for recognizing THE IMITATION GAME in eight categories. Telling Alan Turing’s story was the experience of a lifetime and we never thought it would lead us here. On behalf of everyone who worked on this film, in any capacity, we say thank you.”
-Nora Grossman, Ido Ostrowsky and Teddy Schwarzman, Producers of THE IMITATION GAME

“I am knocked for six by this. So excited and honoured to receive this recognition. It’s wonderful to be included by the Academy in this exceptional year of performances. To ring my parents who are both actors and tell them that their only son has been nominated for an Oscar is one of the proudest moments of my life.”
-Benedict Cumberbatch

“I’m thrilled and humbled that my work on THE IMITATION GAME was recognized by the Academy this morning. We were all passionate about bringing Alan Turing’s story to the screen, and I’m honored to be part of the creative team.”
-William Goldenberg

“I am thrilled and delighted by this tremendous honour. Filmmaking is such a collaboration and to have so many of my colleagues on this film also recognised is especially satisfying.”
-MARIA DJURKOVIC
Achievement in production design, “The Imitation Game” Production Design: Maria Djurkovic; Set Decoration: Tatiana Macdonald

“I am thrilled that the Academy members have embraced THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING, as it is truly one of the most inspirational stories I have ever known. I hope our movie inspires people around the world to do as Jane and Stephen Hawking did: to reach beyond their realities and discover the unimaginable.”
— Lisa Bruce, Academy Award nominee for Best Picture (as producer of nominated film THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING)

“Thank you, members of the Academy! I am humbled to learn of our most prestigious nominations. To be in the company of such great writers and producers and artists is a tribute to our film, to our talented team who worked so hard to bring this story to life, and, most importantly, to the extraordinary example provided us all by Jane and Stephen Hawking.”
— Anthony McCarten, Academy Award nominee for Best Picture (as producer of nominated film THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING) and Best Adapted Screenplay (as screenwriter of nominated film THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING)

“We are honoured that the Academy has recognized The Theory of Everything with five Oscar nominations today especially Eddie and Felicity’s incredible performances as Stephen and Jane Hawking. We’re delighted that Jóhann and Anthony were also recognized for their work on this film in a year with so many brilliant movies. ”
— Eric Fellner, co-chairman, Working Title Films, Academy Award nominee for Best Picture (as producer of nominated film THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING)

“I’m so incredibly honored to be recognized by the Academy, and even more thrilled to share this honor with the entire family of filmmakers, cast, and crew of “The Theory of Everything.” This role was a once in a lifetime experience.

-Felicity Jones, Academy Award Nominee for Best Actress In A Leading Role (THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING)

I couldn’t be prouder to share this incredible honor with my fellow members of “Team Virunga.” I’m especially excited about what this means for Virunga National Park and the courageous rangers who risk their lives each and every day to defend one of the most beautiful places on Earth for all of us. I hope this nomination brings more awareness to their work protecting the home of the world’s last remaining mountain gorillas. Thank you to the Academy and congratulations to all of our fellow nominees and all the amazing films this year. – Orlando von Einsiedel (Director, Producer, Cinematographer)

Filmmaking is a collaborative medium, and I was lucky to work with artists of amazing caliber on THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING: the actors, the screenwriter, and the director, James Marsh — who has my gratitude for inviting me to be a part of his team and for being a brilliant, inspiring and generous collaborator. My thanks to the AMPAS members for this recognition.”
— Jóhann Jóhannsson, Academy Award nominee for Best Original Score (THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING)

This is a tribute to Chris Kyle, his family and all of the service men and women who sacrifice their lives for their countries and their families. It is a privilege and an honor to play Chris and I share this with Sienna, Clint, Jason Hall, the rest of seal team three and everyone involved with the film. – Bradley Cooper
