Oscar Voter Reveals Her Brutally Honest Ballot: Meryl Streep "Like a Clown,"
'La La Land' "Not Memorable," 'Arrival' "Just Sucked"
http://ow.ly/pT1D309eXp2
An Academy voter makes her case for 'Hell or High Water'
("It will be remembered as a true American classic"),
says Emma Stone wasn't "as wonderful as people are saying,"
and explains why Viola Davis is in the wrong category
("That really irks me").
Each year around this time, I sit down with several Oscar voters who,
under the warm cloak of anonymity, spill their true feelings about the
current season's crop of contenders. Not just what or whom they voted for,
but exactly why and how they came to those decisions. It's not meant to
be a scientific survey; it's just the candid, unsugarcoated opinions of
a handful of members (out of 6,687) of the most important and powerful movie
club in the world. Below is an edited transcript of one such
conversation: with a longtime female member of the 1,158-member actors
branch who — this season, anyway — is not associated with any of the
nominees.
这是一位拥有投票权的学院会员（演员组、女性、与本届入围的影片都无关）
最佳影片：
我恨“异星入境”因为它很烂。我不喜欢藩篱，因为把舞台剧录起来了，我想要看
一个男人走进爵士乐俱乐部演奏，一个怀着他孩子的女性，他的同类在足球场上，
我想Denzel觉得剧本太宝贵了，不愿修改任何字，所以此电影就要受此后果。
我喜欢漫漫回家路的前半段，但是看起来后半段是由另一位导演及摄影制作。
我想“关键少数”是不错的，因为是个好故事，但不是因为很难讲述的故事。
“月光下的蓝色男孩”和“钢铁英雄”真的是非常好的电影，但是我不认为它们是
最佳影片。“乐来越爱你”是部非常享受的电影，但是不是那么深入或难忘的。
所以只剩下“海边的曼彻斯特”和“赴汤蹈火”，两部富有同情心的电影，
都是在编导演三方面均优的片。“赴汤蹈火”不会赢此奖项，但是我的最爱，
而且将成为真正的美国经典。
I hated Arrival - it just sucked. I didn't like Fences because they just
filmed the play - I wanted to see the guy go into the jazz club and play
his music, the girl who's having his baby, his kid on the football field.
But I think Denzel [Washington, its producer/director/star] decided that
every word of the script [by the late August Wilson] was so precious that
he wasn't going to "mess" with it, and the movie suffered as a result.
I loved the first half of Lion, but I felt like a different director and
cinematographer made the second half. I thought Hidden Figures was
wonderful - because it's a great story, not because it was especially
hard to tell. It's almost like a glorified Movie of the Week. Moonlight
and Hacksaw Ridge were really very good, but I don't think of them as
a best picture. La La Land was tremendously enjoyable, but not all that
deep or memorable. That left me with Manchester by the Sea and
Hell or High Water, two compassionate movies that were incredibly well
written, directed and acted. Hell or High Water isn't going to win,
but it was my favorite, and it will be remembered as a true American
classic.
My vote （我的选票）
(1) Hell or High Water
(2) Manchester by the Sea
(3) La La Land
(4) Hacksaw Ridge
(5) Moonlight
最佳导演:
不用理“异星入境”，但接下来就很难选了。我决定不选“钢铁英雄”，
不是因为梅尔的私领域问题（虽然我是犹太人），我想他现在是一个全新的人了，
他是一个有才华的导演，我祝他好运。Barry Jenkins真的导得好，但是电影中的
三部份并非连接很好。所以就剩下“海边的曼彻斯特”和“乐来越爱你”。
Damien是个sweethear，我喜欢他在“进击的鼓手”和此片拍摄手法，
而且他大概会赢得此奖项，但是我投给Lonergan，因为在他的片子里面，
他有着更难的工作使片中每一个环节都成功，而他做到了。
Forget about Arrival [director Denis Villeneuve]. After that, it was
tough. I decided not to go with Hacksaw Ridge, and not because of
anything to do with Mel Gibson's personal problems - even though I'm
Jewish. I think he's a different person now; he's a very talented
director, and I wish him well. [Moonlight's] Barry Jenkins did a really
good job, but the movie's three parts aren't as connected as they could
have been. That left me with Manchester [Kenneth Lonergan] and
La La Land [Damien Chazelle]. Damien is such a sweetheart; I loved
what he did with Whiplash and this one, and he's probably going to win.
But I voted for Lonergan, because it was harder to make everything click
on that movie, and he really succeeded.
My vote
Kenneth Lonergan (Manchester by the Sea)
最佳男主角：
Denzel已经演过这个角色无数次了，还因此赢得东尼奖，我很确定在舞台上，
他很棒，但是在此片中他的演出就于舞台剧中一般，你必须被视为活在当下，
如果他有一位优秀的导演执导此片，该导演将会助其得奖。安德鲁和雷恩都很棒
但不是奥斯卡级。凯希有这一值得他演技的角色，但是我爱Viggo 在“神奇大队长”
的演出，他是演员的演员，很可惜这可能是他所获得的唯一一票。
Denzel has played this role a million times before, and he got the Tony
for it - I'm sure he was amazing onstage, but he didn't do anything
unexpected on film. You've got to seem alive in the moment, and maybe if
he'd gotten a really great director to direct him, that person would have
nudged him to do that. [Hacksaw's] Andrew Garfield and
[La La Land's] Ryan Gosling were very good, but not Oscar-level.
[Manchester's] Casey Affleck had a role worthy of his brave acting, and
he was absolutely wonderful. But I loved, loved, loved Viggo Mortensen's
performance [in Captain Fantastic]. He is an actors' actor, and I voted
for him. Unfortunately, it's probably the only vote he'll get.
My vote
Viggo Mortensen (Captain Fantastic)
最佳女主角
她们我都不喜欢。我想Meryl就像是演一个小丑，她很可爱，但是这个女人
在电影最后对我而言无关紧要，但是大家对她赞誉有加，我想她在金球奖的演说
使她获得提名。我很恨“第一夫人”，它太肤浅了，Portman出局。
Huppert 是个冷演员，我判她出局因为当妳被攻击成那样，妳不再是同一个人了，
但是她却还是同一个人，使得我想要打她看看她的反应。Emma将会赢得此奖项，
因为她很可爱而且大家都爱她，但我不认为她像大家说得那么棒。那么只剩下Ruth，
虽然她是一号表演方式，但是至少她够投入。
I liked none of them. I thought Meryl [Streep in Florence Foster Jenkins]
played it like a clown - she's cute and adorable, but this woman didn't
matter to me in the end - but people are gaga over Meryl, and I think she
solidified her nomination when she gave that speech at the Golden Globes.
I don't think she would have gotten nominated without it. I hated Jackie
so much - it was just shallow crap - so no Natalie Portman. [Elle's]
Isabelle Huppert is an ice-cold actress, and I eliminated her because
when you get attacked, beaten and raped, you're not the same person
afterward, but she was, and I wanted to slap her to try to get a reaction
out of her. The girl in La La Land [Emma Stone] is going to win because
she's adorable and everybody loves her, but I don't think she was as
wonderful as people are saying. That leaves me with Ruth Negga for Loving,
who was fairly one-note, but engaging enough.
My vote
Ruth Negga (Loving)
最佳男配角
我想Dev Patel和曼彻斯特中的小子都很好，但还不够好。Ali是很好，但我不认为
他的角色有被发展出来，他是个好人但是忽然间他消失了。我很喜欢片中的Shannon，
但是不喜欢“夜行动物”，事实上我有投票提名他。我的选票给Jeff Bridges，
因为我喜欢“赴汤蹈火”。片中的演技几乎是完美的。Jeff让它看起来很容易，
但说真的，他所做的一点都不容易的事情。
I thought [Lion's] Dev Patel and the kid from Manchester [Lucas Hedges]
were really good, but not great. The guy from Moonlight [Mahershala Ali]
was good, but I don't think his character was that developed - I mean,
he's this great guy, and then all of a sudden he just disappears. I really
liked Michael Shannon in a movie that I didn't like [Nocturnal Animals] -
in fact, I voted to nominate him. But my heart is with Jeff Bridges,
because I loved [Hell or High Water]. The acting was sheer perfection.
Jeff makes it look easy but, boy, what he does is not easy.
My vote
Jeff Bridges (Hell or High Water)
最佳女配角：
我立刻排除掉Viola，别误会我，我爱她而且认为她很棒，但是这是我的“抗议票”。
她应该是女主角那类的，而且当片商把那些明显是主角的放在配角，就像去年的
Alicia Vikander，即使她还比Eddie的台词多，这让我很恼火，这使真正的女配角
无法被提名，像“赴汤蹈火”中的丁骨牛排馆的女服务生。Viola大概会赢得此奖项，
但是她应该是女主角那类的。我喜欢Octavia，但是我觉得其他两位演得更好。
Nicole就像她其他的片子里的角色一样。所以就只剩下真正的配角Michelle和Naomie ，
她们都很棒，但是Naomie的角色难演得多。
I immediately ruled out [Fences'] Viola Davis - don't get me wrong, I love
her and I think she's wonderful, but that's my protest vote. She should
have been in the lead actress category, and when the studios put these
actresses who are clearly the lead in the supporting category - like they
did with [The Danish Girl's] Alicia Vikander last year, even though she
had more lines than the guy [Eddie Redmayne] - that really irks me.
Because it prevents real supporting actresses, like the waitress in
Hell or High Water [Margaret Bowman], from getting nominated. Viola will
probably win, but she belonged in the leading lady category. I love
[Hidden Figures'] Octavia Spencer, but I felt the other two women in the
film [Taraji P. Henson and Janelle Monae] were better. Nicole
[Kidman in Lion] wasn't all that different from everything else I've
seen her do. So, for me, it was between Michelle [Williams for Manchester],
for a true supporting part, and the gal from Moonlight [Naomie Harris].
Both of them were wonderful, but the gal from Moonlight went to places
that were harder to go to.
My vote
Naomie Harris (Moonlight)
改编剧本：
你都知道我讨厌“异星入境”。“漫漫回家路”的剧本参差不齐。
我不认为“藩篱”有改编。所以就只剩下“月光”和“关键少数”。
我觉得“月光”的故事比较有挑战性。
As you know, I hated Arrival. The Lion script was uneven.
I didn't really consider Fences because I don't think it was adapted.
So it came down to Moonlight and Hidden Figures, and I just thought
the story of Moonlight was more of a challenge to tell.
My vote
Moonlight
原著剧本：
“20世纪女人”是很好但不完全。“单身动物园”是很有趣但对我而言有点诡异。
“乐来越爱你”有点轻松。我挣扎于“曼彻斯特”和“赴汤蹈火”两者间。
Lonergan很聪明也写了个好剧本，但是我必须投给“赴汤蹈火”，即使它一点胜算
都没有。
20th Century Women was cute, but it didn't fully work. The Lobster was
interesting but a little bit weird for me. La La Land was very light.
So I was torn between Manchester and Hell or High Water.
[Manchester's] Lonergan is very bright and wrote a brilliant screenplay,
but I have to go with Hell or High Water, even though it doesn't have a
chance of winning.
My vote
Hell or High Water
最佳动画片
我每一片都看过了，还多部片我都喜欢，但是我爱“红龟：小岛物语”，
是里面最有深度的一部。
I watched them all and liked several of them, but I loved The Red Turtle,
which was the most profound of the group.
My vote
The Red Turtle
Best Documentary Feature
I'm ruling out O.J. [Made in America] even though I still have an hour
of it left to watch — maybe for younger people this is new stuff, but
for me it's just reliving a part of the past I don't need to relive.
I was disappointed with I Am Not Your Negro — I was really looking
forward to learning more about James Baldwin's life, rather than his
ideas (which I already knew), because when I first came to New York as
a young actress, he was such an avant-garde playwright and fascinating guy.
Three-quarters of Ava DuVernay's movie [13th] was wonderful, but the
last quarter was so preachy that I felt like I was hit over the head,
which was a turnoff. They did a really good job with Fire at Sea, except
I hated that little kid in it — killing birds and cutting up cacti and
all of that. I voted for Life, Animated because I thought it was a positive
story, how the parents took a massive challenge and made something of it.
My vote
Life, Animated
Best Foreign-Language Film
I hated the German movie [Toni Erdmann] so much because it was so
shticky — Germans are not funny! The only part of the whole movie
where I laughed was when she couldn't get out of her tight dress and
just ripped it off and went around naked. I hear Jack Nicholson is
going to be in a remake, and he might make it funny. The other four
were beautifully done, so it was hard. The Australian one [Tanna] was
gorgeously photographed. Land of Mine really captured the horrors of war.
The Salesman will probably win because there will be a big protest vote
about [writer-director Asghar Farhadi] not being able to get into this
country [because of Trump's travel ban, now under a stay]. But my heart
was with [Sweden's] A Man Called Ove. There's something life-affirming
about that movie.
My vote
A Man Called Ove
最佳摄影：
Arrival is definitely out. Silence had beautiful photography, but I hated
that movie so much, with all the Christian stuff beating me over the
head - I mean, c'mon, Marty [Scorsese, its director]! Moonlight and the
first half of Lion had some impressive stuff. But I voted for La La
Land - the cinematography really elevated the movie.
My vote
La La Land
最佳服装设计
The costumes in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Florence Foster
Jenkins and Jackie were really good, but I didn't like the movies. I liked
La La Land, but I don't think the costumes had much to do with that - modern
things aren't that hard to design, although [Stone] looked great, I have
to say. And while I didn't love Allied, the costumes for Brad Pitt and
Marion Cotillard were the best thing about it. In fact, when they had one
of those little parties for it, I went up to that British lady
[Joanna Johnston] and told her that, and I don't think she knew how to
respond. Me and my big mouth. (Laughs.)
My vote
Allied
最佳剪辑：
这是一个很强（很竞争）的一组，John在“钢铁英雄”做得很好，
但是“赴汤蹈火”是我的最爱，我还是把我的票给它。
This was a really strong category this year. [John Gilbert] did a great
job with Hacksaw Ridge, but Hell or High Water was my favorite film,
so I'm gonna stick with it here.
My vote
Hell or High Water
最佳妆发：
我不喜欢“自杀突击队”。我收到的“星际争霸战：浩瀚无垠”的DVD在半途无法看，
我通知他们送一片新的来，可是没收到，所以出局！有趣的是，我可能会投给他们说。
但，再说了，我喜欢“明天别再来敲门”（每个部份），所以我投给它。
I didn't like Suicide Squad very much. The Star Trek [Beyond] DVD they sent
me stopped halfway through - something was wrong with it - so I called them
and asked them to send me another, but they never did, so that eliminated
them! The funny thing is I probably would have voted for them. Again,
I liked A Man Called Ove - the whole movie - so that's the one.
My vote
A Man Called Ove
最佳配乐：
我真的都听完每一部的配乐。“乐来越爱你”是最突出的。
I really listened to each of them. La La Land's was very sweet and
stood out to me the most.
My vote
La La Land
最佳原创歌曲：
I'm not crazy about any of them - you don't really remember them like you
remember songs like "The Way We Were" even years later - but I'll vote for
the Sting one ["The Empty Chair," for which Sting is nominated with
J. Ralph].
My vote
"The Empty Chair" (Jim: The James Foley Story)
Best Production Design
Arrival was the first to go. Then Hail, Caesar! and Passengers - just
mediocre movies. So it was between La La Land and Fantastic Beasts and
Where to Find Them. I'm sure La La Land will win, but I went with
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them because I thought the production
value on that movie was really wonderful, even though I wasn't knocked out
by the movie itself.
My vote
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
Best Sound Editing & Best Sound Mixing
这些奖项真的对我而言很难，如果只有“best sound”将会容易点，
因为我真的弄不清楚这两项，所以我决定不碰。
These are the categories I have a really hard time with - it would be
easier if they just had a "best sound" category, but as it is I'm really
totally confused and prefer to just stay out of it.
My vote
[Abstain] （弃权）
最佳视觉效果：
I like the effects in Rogue One, but I voted for The Jungle Book because
I thought that one, with the animals and everything, was absolutely
stunning.
My vote
The Jungle Book
Best Animated Short
The two that I liked the best were Piper, which is so adorable, and the
one with the cigarettes where that crazy guy goes to China [Pear Cider and
Cigarettes], which I voted for because it is very intriguing and different.
My vote
Pearl Cider and Cigarettes
Best Documentary Short
The one about the immigrants coming across the ocean [4.1 Miles] is no
different than what you see on the news. What bothered me about Joe's Violin
is he said he was a Holocaust survivor, but he wasn't - his mother and
brothers were, but he was sent to Siberian gulags - and that made me doubt
everything else about the story. The two about Syria [Watani: My Homeland
and The White Helmets] were very well done - I almost voted for
White Helmets. But I thought Extremis was the most human and least
contrived.
My vote
Extremis
Best Live-Action Short
I thought Timecode was good, but it was more of an intellectual exercise,
so I went with my heart: I preferred the one about the woman and the
bike and the train [La Femme et le TGV] because I thought there was
something really humane about that one. She grew from that experience and
it had a really positive message.
My vote
La Femme et le TGV
