Мария Бакалова с най-трудната награда в Холивуд – на критиците в ЛосАнджелис, Калифорния

Варайъти нареди българката сред най-влиятелните, а до Великден ще разберем дали ще има още награди в Ел Ей 
ВСИЧКИ НАГРАДЕНИ

7 март 2021 г. Българската актриса Мария Бакалова спечели най-трудната награда в Холивуд – на критиците.

Първата българска актриса на такова ниво  в киното получи поредното си признание – наградата на американско-канадската асоциация на критиците в категорията “Най-добра актриса в поддържаща роля” за образа на Тутар – дъщерята на “Борат 2”. Тя грабна статуетката от имена, като Елън Бърстин, Глен Клоуз, Оливия Колман, Аманда Сайфрид и Юн Ю-джун.

Играта на Мария Бакалова е може би е най-дивата в Холивуд тази година.
А самият филм “Борат-2”, освен че до голяма степен изглежда един досаден комерсиален мейнстрийм продукт без кино качества, бе директна подкрепа на демократите в предизборната кампания и атака срещу Доналд Тръмп. Лентата нормално се приема, като един откровен сарказъм с живота, който живеем в съвременното западно общество. Филм, който използва за “оръжие” непознатите на американците държави, отново и във 2та част иде реч за жители на Казахстан, които меко казано са показани, като диваци. И точно тук е вкаран образът на Мария Бакалова, която също като тях, и като нас, идва от “източно-европейските соц-племена”.
Лентата е класика в жанра, благодарение на Саша Барън Коен, добре познат ни с типичният за него mockumentary или docucomedy.
Бакалова наистина е перфектна в образа на Тутар Сагдиев с тотална неподправеност и оригиналност, та чак да си помисли човек, че е героиня в естествената си среда. С този свой образ, тя прави така, че без нея, филмът на Коен никога нямаше да изглежда толкова истински.
Дали така ще изглежда и на гласуващите за наградите Оскар, които знаем, че са добре политизирани, и шансовете на Мария са още по-големи, ще разберем съвсем скоро. Церемонията за 93-тите награди на Академията ще се състои на 25 април, а номинациите ще чуем на 15 март.
Също така надежда за успех на българката има и за наградите на Гилдията на актьорите на 4 април, където Бакалова е номинирана редом с Глен Клоуз, Оливия Колман и Хелена Ценгел. Тези награди се сочат, като най-силен показател за успех на “Оскар”-ите, тъй като нейните членове са най-голямата група в Академията за кинематографично изкуство и наука.

Битката и победите на актриса от Източна Европа в Холивуд са много важни, защото както самата Бакалова казва, “това е важен знак за много други актьори и актриси от тази точка на света, които има какво да покажат във филмовата индустрия, но никога досега не са имали такава възможност, освен да се снимат в треторазреден американски филм, сниман в “Ню Бояна Филмс””.

За най-добра актриса от критиците бе избрана Кери Мълиган, в компанията на Вайола Дейвис, Андра Дей, Франсис Макдорманд, Ванеса Кърби, Сидни Фланиган и Зендая.

За най-добър актьор пък начело поставиха Чадуик Боузман, с подръжници Бен Афлек, Риз Ахмед, Антъни Хопкинс, Гари Олдман, Том Ханкс, Стивън Юн и Делрой Линдо.

Всяка година в навечерието на Международния ден на жената – 8 март, сп. Variety вади класация за най-влиятелните жени за предишната година. Бакалова се нареди до носителката на “Оскар” Кейт Бланшет, Агнешка Холанд, Дуа Липа и неповторимата София Лорен.
