Oscar should love Lao Bai more than Xiao Li

It's reasonable for Xiao Li to win the Oscar for Best Actor this year, but the little freckles in "The Danish Girl" are not easy. After reading "Trumbo", you will find that there is still a grandfather waiting for them here. The biopic "Trumbo" relied on the performance of the wrinkled old actor Byran Cranston. This old man is not very famous, but people who have watched "Breaking Bad" will be amazed by the look of Lao Bai. Yes, Trumbo is the old white, but the acting is more authentic and vivid. The story tells about the famous screenwriter Trumbo, a member of the Communist Party of the United States who was unreasonably persecuted in the "un-American" frenzy in the United States in the 1950s. His life was ups and downs, and he was unjustly imprisoned. The film depicts his mental journey for most of his life, not entangled in his political position, but focusing on an individual person's lonely struggle against institutional injustice. Lao Bai's performance is not only full of style, but also has a strong aura. By the end of the film, his aged speech is really moving. Good actors like Byran Cranston are really a gold mine unearthed by TV shows. Seeing such an unnamed old actor appearing in a masterpiece, I can only say that the talent pool of the film industry is really too thick! If this year's Oscars favor Lao Bai rather than Xiao Li, don't be surprised.
