年奧斯卡頒獎典禮鬧出烏龍
Moonlight, an evocative coming of age story about a young gay black man, won best picture at the 2017 Oscars but was almost denied its victory in chaotic scenes when the award was mistakenly given to La La Land.
一部富有感染力的、描寫一名年輕黑人男同性戀成長故事的影片《月光男孩》(Moonlight)，獲得2017年奧斯卡(Oscar)最佳影片獎。不過，該片險些與此獎項擦肩而過，原因是在混亂的頒獎現場，此獎項曾被誤頒給了《愛樂之城》(La La Land)。At the end of a politically charged ceremony in which Donald Trump was the subject of frequent jokes by host Jimmy Kimmel, Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway announced that La La Land had won. But as the producers and cast of Damien Chazelle’s modern musical were on stage giving emotional thank you speeches, they were told that Moonlight was the real winner.
在這場充滿政治色彩的頒獎典禮——唐納德?特朗普(Donald Trump)屢次成爲主持人吉米?基梅爾(Jimmy Kimmel)打趣的對象——的末尾，沃倫?比蒂(Warren Beatty)和費?唐納薇(Faye Dunaway)宣佈《愛樂之城》贏得此獎項。然而，就在這部達米安?沙澤勒(Damien Chazelle)編導的現代音樂片的製作人員和演員登上舞臺、激動地發表致謝演說時，他們卻被告知《月光男孩》纔是真正的獲獎者。
PwC, the accountancy firm that has been responsible for counting Oscars votes for 80 years and ensuring that the correct envelopes are handed to presenters, swiftly apologised to the films, the presenters and the audience for giving the prize announcement for the wrong category to Beatty and Dunaway.
80年來，普華永道(PwC)一直負責奧斯卡獎的計票工作並確保將正確的信封交給頒獎嘉賓。這家會計師事務所很快向兩部影片、頒獎嘉賓和觀衆作出了道歉，因爲它交給比蒂和唐納薇的頒獎通告不是關於這個獎項的。
“We sincerely apologize to Moonlight, La La Land, Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway, and Oscar viewers for the error that was made during the award announcement for Best Picture. The presenters had mistakenly been given the wrong category envelope and when discovered, was immediately corrected.”
“我們爲最佳影片獎頒獎通告期間出現的失誤，向《月光男孩》、《愛樂之城》、沃倫?比蒂、費?唐納薇、以及奧斯卡獎觀衆表示誠摯地道歉。頒獎嘉賓收到的是錯誤獎項的信封，這個失誤一經發現立刻得到了糾正。”“We are currently investigating how this could have happened, and deeply regret that this occurred,” PwC said. “We appreciate the grace with which the nominees, the Academy, ABC, and Jimmy Kimmel handled the situation.”
普華永道表示：“我們目前正在調查如何能發生這樣的事，並對發生此事深感遺憾。被提名人、電影藝術與科學學院(the Academy)、美國廣播公司(ABC)、以及吉米?基梅爾對這一情況處置得體，我們表示感謝。”Chazelle’s musical was the hot favourite going into the evening, with a record-tying 14 nominations. Chazelle won the best director award, while Emma Stone won best actress for her performance in the film, which was produced by Lionsgate. There were other La La Land Oscars for score and best original song.
沙澤勒編導的音樂片《愛樂之城》是當晚的得獎熱門，所獲14項提名平了奧斯卡史上的紀錄。沙澤勒獲得最佳導演獎。而埃瑪?斯通(Emma Stone)憑藉她在這部由獅門娛樂(Lionsgate)製作的影片中的表演，贏得了最佳女主角獎。此外，《愛樂之城》還獲得了最佳配樂和最佳原創歌曲獎。But Moonlight kept pace with it over the course of a marathon four-hour ceremony. Barry Jenkins and Tarell Alvin McCraney won best adapted screenplay, while Mahershala Ali won best supporting actor — the first Oscar for a Muslim American actor.
不過，在長達四小時的馬拉松般的頒獎典禮中，《月光男孩》所獲獎項一度與《愛樂之城》並駕齊驅。巴里?詹金斯（Barry Jenkins，文首圖中）和塔雷爾?阿爾文?麥克拉尼（Tarell Alvin McCraney，文首圖右）獲得了最佳改編劇本獎。馬赫沙拉?阿里(Mahershala Ali)獲得最佳男配角獎，這是美國穆斯林男演員首位獲得奧斯卡獎。
