Oscar and Golden Globe nominees

The Golden Globes have announced the list of five films competing for the Best Drama category. These are also the films most likely to win the 2015 Oscar.

There are 3 films on this list that tell the vibrant lives of famous people. The Imitation Game, directed by Morten Tyldum, tells the story of legendary British mathematician Alan Turing based on the biography Alan Turing: The Enigma by Andrew Hodges. Alan was considered to have saved many lives during World War II, when the British army opened an Enigma computer decoding program to serve secret communication during the war and he was one of the creators of that Enigma decoding machine. The research team was repeatedly sabotaged by German spies and had to overcome obstacles. Despite his talent, after the war, Alan Turing had to suffer a tragedy in his life: in 1952, he was prosecuted for homosexual behavior because at that time British law stipulated this was a crime. And Alan accepted estrogen injections (a form of using chemicals to lose fertility and sexual ability) instead of going to jail. He died in 1954.

Selma by female director Ava Duvernay is a slice of life of leader - Pastor Martin Luther King (played by David Oyelowo) in the journey to fight to ensure voting rights for all people. This was a dangerous campaign that culminated in a large march on March 25, 1965 from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama (USA) leading to President Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The film truly describes the pastor's wish: "I have a dream. That one day our nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of our creed, holding to the truth that these truths are perfect: that all men are created equal." The film was highly appreciated by film critics for its artistic aspect.

Not inferior to the above two films, The Theory of Everything is directed by James Marsh based on the memoir Traveling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen by author Jane Hawking. The film is a touching love story between Jane and her ex-husband, the brilliant British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking. The two actors Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones play Stephen and Jane in the film. "This is truly a very unusual love story, in a special environment when two characters have to overcome adversity as if life has pushed them together," director James Marsh told the press. The film has won many awards: Hollywood Film Awards, Palm Springs International Film Festival...

The remaining two films on the list, Boyhood and Foxcatcher, are also of interest to movie buffs because of their interesting experiences about life.

The 72nd Golden Globe Awards ceremony took place on January 11, 2015 in California and the 87th Oscar Awards ceremony was on February 22, 2015 in Los Angeles (USA).
