Russian Academy of Cinematographic Arts "Nick" called the laureates

The day after Nicky, the first news of the Internet was not so much the anniversary of the oldest Russian cinema prize as a scandal provoked by the performance of the leading Ksenia Sobchak. Akela show business in a chic black dress with a bare back-missed, deciding to publicly interrogate Chulpan Khamatov: would she vote for Putin, if not charitable activities? The hall, who supported the rewarding of the founders of the “Give Life” Foundation, Khamatova and Korzun, expressed his equal -humble indignation. To evaluate the degree of the hot atmosphere, I will say this: for the first time in my life, I saw the confused guusman.

“Ksyusha, this is a cinema holiday,” Khamatova was surprised. Everyone has their own holiday. Now about the anniversary, 25-year-old “Nick” will be remembered as follows: there Sobchak tried to “put dots over I” there.

From the very beginning, our first cinematic prize was - may Nikita Sergeyevich forgive me - a quote of democratic choice of professionals. Let me remind you: it all started with "repentance" - a film, which was contradictory at the top. The film that split the society. Unlike the sovereign "Golden Eagle", "Nika" was for filmmakers more, mental, homely. But for the anniversary, the Crocus City Hall was chosen for several thousand seats. In such a community, it is quite difficult to create an atmosphere, to withstand intonation. The moments turned out to be. When they remembered the departed actors. When they handed the prize for honor and dignity to Oleg Basilashvili, and intellectual Buzykin, musician Ryabinin, the scoundrel Merzlyaev, dad Alexander VI, and Samokhvalov lived on the screen. Gusman himself was in the blow. “For us,“ Nika ”is only 25 days, Julius Gusman donated 25 years of his life so that the most democratic and free bonus gives us joy,” said Vadim Abdrashitov.

After almost a ten -year blockade, Nika received a broadcast on the federal channel. Yes, even on the first. And the Dancing Girl "First Cavalier" could not help ordering music. Self -serving and not funny looked like kavaeners. She clumsily tried to marry the 25-year-old “nickname” the main “matchmaker” of the country Larisa Guzeeva. There was something to mumble about the profession of the operator no actress, the star of Playboy and State Duma deputy Maria Kozhevnikova.

On the sidelines rustled a rumor about tribute, which the guzman of her companions for showing the ceremony must pay. “Vysotsky ...” with five nominations claimed the main prize - “The Best Playful Film”. They limited themselves to vegetarian awards for the “Opening of the Year” (Dmitry Astrakhan, who played the administrator of Vysotsky, shared this prize with 12-year-old Misha Percye, who had touched academicians with the role in the film “Siberia. Monamur”) and for the work of sound engineer Vladimir Litrovnik.

The main fight in the main nominations unfolded between Elena Andrei Zvyagintsev and Andrei Smirnov’s monumental novel “Once upon a time, there was one woman.” The prize balance was demonstrated by the nomination "Best Female Role". Academicians were divided into opinions so strictly that they had to hand two figurines to two brilliant actresses - Nadezhda Markina and Daria Ekamasova. On stage, they stood almost hugging. Both works can be considered a genuine opening of the year. Academics rightly added to them rightly the strikingly accurate and subtle role of Elena Lyadova, who received a reward for a second -plan role.

“Elena” is a favorite of all awards and festivals, expectedly awarded the most important prizes “Nicky” - operator Kricman and director Zvyagintsev. The result of the 20-year work of Andrei Smirnov “lived, there was one woman” was called the best picture of 2012. The film received gold figurines for the script, the work of the artist and costume artist.

Like “Elena”, it may be like it or not like it, but how not to appreciate the directorial passion, an honest approach to the profession. I don’t know who still works like Smirnov today. With complete dedication. With the fundamental study of historical and iconographic material. I was on the set near Tambov, flipped through chubby volumes with sketches of costumes for a huge mass. And the artist of the film Vladimir Gudilin is the highest sample: at one time he “dressed” and the Romanovs (“Romanovs. Ventsenos family” Panfilov), and “dudes”. His third “Nika” is honored.

It is annoying that academicians ignored the “Shapito show” - this is really the event of the year. The film was nominated in several categories, but flew past the nest "Nicky". Neither the original scenario work of Marina Potapova, nor the directorial courage of Sergey Loban, nor acting work and completely unexpected music by Jacques Polyakova were noted. (The music of academicians awarded the wonderful - the movie symphony of Leonid Testnikov, composed specifically for the film "Michent".)

“Nika” this year voted predictably. And this is the matter. All film academies, and “Nika” and her younger brother “Eagle”, consist of professionals, to put it mildly, of the older middle age. Perhaps that is why everything avant -garde, not fitting into the standards, is rejected. As the director's work of Angelina Nikonova “Portrait at Twilight”. The opening of the year, which has been successful with dozens of festivals, nominated in the category, she never received an “academic incentive”. There was no chance to become the best documentary and the experimental work of Pavel Kostomarov and Alexander Rastorguev “I love you”. It’s at least strange to call the “discovery” to the “discovery” of Astrakhan, especially in the rare year when artists who really work out in the movie appear in the cinema. “There are no boundaries,” Hodar repeats to the retrograde. “People themselves come up with them, which means that they can be destroyed.”
