The GP… of the Oscar awards
There was also “F1” in the list of candidate films in the category “Best film” of the Oscar awards. The final victory, on the awards ceremony on Sunday evening as usual at Dolby Theater in Hollywoodshe went to One battle after another Of Paul Thomas Andersonbut F1 – The Movie However, he did not return home empty-handed.
In addition to the nomination for the most prestigious award, the film about F1 with Brad Pitt and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer with the participation, among others, of Lewis Hamiltonwas in fact competing for some of the so-called “technical” Oscars, linked more to the material realization of the product than to the exquisitely artistic qualities.
The F1 movie comes home with an Oscar!
F1 – The Movie in fact, it had received a total of four nominations, with the race for three technical awards in addition to the impossible one for the Oscar for best film, also competing for the best editingi better sound effects hey best special effects. And, indeed, in the end he returned home with a statuette for the best soundattributed to the group composed of Gareth John, Al Nelson, Gwendolyn Yates Whittle, Gary Rizzo And Juan Peralta.
The other categories
However, there was nothing to be done in the other category where the F1 film seemed to have some cards to play given the exceptional visual quality of the final product, namely that of the special effects: the Oscar, however, has gone, almost inevitably, to Avatar – Fire and ashthe third chapter of the blockbuster saga of James Cameron made practically entirely in CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery) graphics and performance capture to transfer the movements of real actors to virtual counterparts.
The award to best editing instead he went to Andy Jurgensen again for One battle after anotherbut it was a category where, together with that of best film, against F1 – The Movie all the favorites took to the field given the presence of five Marty Supreme, Sentimental Value and the horror film which received plenty of nominations Sinners.
