"The King's Speech" reigned supreme in Hollywood on Tuesday as Oscar voters bestowed 12 nominations on the British drama, including best picture, actor and director. The film, revolving around wartime monarch King George VI's struggle to overcome a crippling stammer, led a field packed with commercial and critical hits. "True Grit," a Western remake about a young girl's brave quest to track down her father's killer, received 10 nominations despite performing poorly in key critics awards. The film's writers/directors/producers, Joel and Ethan Coen, accounted for three of those nominations. The Facebook drama, "The Social Network," the early favorite during awards season, received eight nominations, tying with the groundbreaking sci-fi thriller "Inception," one of 2010's biggest movies. All will vie for best picture, a 10-film field rounded out by "Black Swan," "The Fighter," "The Kids Are All Right," "127 Hours," "Toy Story 3" and "Winter's Bone." Initial consensus among critics indicated a tight race for the top prize between Columbia's "Social Network" and Weinstein Co's "King's Speech," with Paramount's "True Grit" a possible spoiler. The films' respective studios will ramp up their campaigning in the lead-up to the 83rd annual awards show on February 27. Actor Kevin Spacey, a "Social Network" executive producer, said talk of a bitter contest was "a silly conversation." "You guys like the horse race. I enjoy the work," he told the reporters.

奧斯卡提名本周二揭曉，英國影片《國王的演講》獲得包括最佳影片、最佳男主角、最佳導演在內的12項提名，在好萊塢大放異彩。 影片《國王的演講》圍繞英國戰時國王喬治六世克服嚴重口吃的故事展開，領跑本屆入圍影片。獲提名作品或是商業力作，或者好評如潮。 影片《大地驚雷》盡管在關鍵的影評人協會獎中表現欠佳，但仍獲得10項提名。這部電影對原版西部片進行了翻拍，講述了一個小女孩勇敢地追緝殺父兇手的故事。影片的編劇、導演、兼制片人科恩兄弟獲得三項提名。 Facebook影片《社交網絡》在頒獎季之初就備受推崇，此次更獲得8項提名，與2010年熱映大片、突破性科幻影片《盜夢空間》打成平手。 以上幾部影片都將角逐最佳影片。今年共有10部影片入圍最佳影片獎，另外幾部還有《黑天鵝》、《斗士》、《孩子們都很好》、《127小時》、《玩具總動員3》、和《冬天的骨頭》。 影評人的初步共識預示著哥倫比亞公司出品的《社交網絡》和溫斯坦公司的《國王的演講》對奧斯卡最佳影片獎的角逐將異常激烈，派拉蒙公司的《大地驚雷》則可能出來“攪局”。 在2月27日第83屆奧斯卡頒獎典禮舉辦之前，影片的各路東家還將加大宣傳力度給影片拉票。《社交網絡》執行制片人、影星凱文?斯貝西稱，有關“競爭異常慘烈”的說法“非常愚蠢”。 他告訴記者：“人們喜歡賭輸贏，但我享受的是電影。” 相關閱讀 （中國日報網英語點津 Julie 編輯：馮明惠） |
