"Dream Girl" perfectly combines the elements of singing and dancing with inspirational plots, and adds the pinnacle of music and singing and dancing, which makes the story of a singing and dancing inspirational film very enjoyable to watch. This has to mention the other two similar works "Chicago" and "Walking with the Song". First of all, the song and dance bridges, music styles, and story arrangements are very similar to "Chicago", except that the actors are black and white. The narrative method adopts the biographical style of "Walking with the Song", and the bitter and bitter history of a combination is handled through performances and dramas, so as to achieve the effect of infecting the audience and resonating with the audience through music, singing and dancing.
Check out this year's Oscar nominations for the film. "Dreamgirl" won a total of 8 nominations in 6 categories: Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Art Direction - Prop & Set, Best Costume Design, Best Sound, and Best Song. It can be said that this year's most nominated and the most popular movie.
I didn't mention the best film, probably to avoid the resurgence of music and dance films in recent years, frequent awards and excess momentum, resulting in aesthetic fatigue in music and dance? Music and dance films have indeed been on the rise in recent years, and it has been encouraged as early as a few years ago, and those who should have been commended and won awards have also won. In recent years, the music and dance films popular in Hollywood have won/nominated at the Oscars as follows:
Walk the Line
Best Actress at the 78th Oscar in 2006
【Ray】Ray

Judging from the nominations for musical musicals since 2001, The two European films "Dancers in the Dark" and "Out of My World" have brought the revival of Hollywood singing and dancing. However, this is only a little inspiration for Hollywood, and it is still difficult to prevail. . The "9.11" incident made the Hollywood film industry and the U.S. government have to reflect on whether the screen full of violent aesthetics in the past constitutes a metaphor that points to reality. Musical films were brought back to the stage at this time, which undoubtedly made up for the market vacuum left by the absence of a large number of disaster films and violent films.
In the 21st century, the United States has become a world of music and dance, and almost every year, a music and dance blockbuster attracts much attention. "Chicago" uses the authority of the Academy Award for Best Picture to announce that song and dance movies will once again lead the trend of movies after more than 30 years of silence. Perfectly combined with inspirational, biography, adaptation and other themes along the way, all kinds of forms have been tried out, and Hollywood movies can be said to be singing and dancing every year!
Just like...Walk the line?
So far, Hollywood has no shortage of musical and dance films, and the most feared thing is that the production of genre films is becoming more and more mixed and flooded. Whether "Dream Girl" can surprise Oscar in the end depends on the strength of other films this year and the luck of this film. But judging from the selection results of the recently concluded Golden Globe Awards and the North American end-of-year awards season, Eddie Murphy for Best Supporting Actor and Jennifer Hudson for Best Supporting Actress should be worthy of winning the award. As for the Oscars, I'd love to see other movies upset by better actors. Taking the Golden Ball = Oscar is too frustrating... The phenomenon that this film has 3 nominations for the best song is only possible in the United States! The specific nominations are as follows:
[Best Song]
"I Need to Wake Up" - "An Inconvenient Truth
" "Listen" - "Dreamgirls
" "Love You I Do" - "Dreamgirls" "(Dreamgirls)
"Our Town" - "Cars" (Cars)
"Patince" - "Dreamgirls" (Dreamgirls)
nominated three songs MS has not included in the film soundtrack. Do you not accept original songs? Personally, I like "Love You I Do" a little bit more. It's up to the judges to win the award. Of course, the song "Our Town" from "Cars" was also very sensational when it was released in the cinema half a year ago... As for other awards in artistic creation, musical musicals must have more advantages. They are in this business, but based on whether the judges consider the aesthetic fatigue of musicals, they are not sure.
Therefore, for "Dreamgirl" to win this Oscar, it can be described in one sentence: Either it will be as prosperous as Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings 3", or it will be lost like Spielberg's "Purple". damage!
