2024年奥斯卡奖提名：惊喜，被忽视和趣事

　　The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on Tuesday announced the nominees for Hollywood's highest movie awards --- the Oscars. As usual, there were surprises. And there were snubs, meaning filmmakers or films that were rejected as candidates. Here are some of the facts about this year's nominees.

　　Fostering the Oscars

　　Actor Jodie Foster was nominated for her performance in a supporting role in the film Nyad. It is her fifth nomination. The first came 47 years ago when she was just 14 years old.

　　This year she returns as a nominee after an unusually long absence from the Oscars. Her last nomination was for Nell in 1995.

　　Foster has won two Academy Awards as a lead actor. Her first came in 1989 for the movie The Accused. She won again in 1992 for the film The Silence of the Lambs. Her costar in Nyad, Annette Bening, is also nominated for an Oscar in the best performance by a lead actress category. Like Foster, Bening has been nominated four other times. But she has yet to win any Academy Awards.

　　Foster has more nominations than the rest of the actors in her category combined. Emily Blunt, Danielle Brooks, America Ferrera and Da'Vine Joy Randolph are all first-time nominees.

　　Foster's gap between nominations is not a record, though. Last year, actor Judd Hirsch got his first nomination in 42 years for his performance in The Fabelmans.

　　John Williams dials in on Disney with ‘destiny'

　　Music writer, or composer, John Williams, is back in the running for an Oscar. The 91-year-old became on Tuesday the oldest nominee in history for his original score for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Williams broke the age record of 90 set last year by nominee John Williams.

　　The composer has been nominated for 54 Academy Awards. He is the most Oscar-nominated living person. He needs six more to overtake Walt Disney's record of 59 nominations.

　　Williams has won five Oscars. His last was in 1994 for the score of Schindler's List, which also won the award for best picture.

　　Women's films honored, women snubbed

　　A record three films directed by women were nominated for best picture: Barbie from Greta Gerwig, Anatomy of a Fall from Justine Triet, and Past Lives from Celine Song.

　　But only one of them – Triet – received a best director nomination.

　　Gerwig's snub, along with Barbie star Margot Robbie's in the best actress category, were widely protested after the nominations were announced Tuesday. But each is still in the larger group of nominees. Robbie is a producer who will get an Oscar if Barbie wins best picture. And Gerwig is nominated for best adapted screenplay.

　　The spirit of Spielberg and scores for Scorsese

　　Director Steven Spielberg was a 2024 Oscar presence even on a year off. Spielberg did not direct a movie last year that met time limits for Academy Award consideration. However, he is nominated as a producer of the movie Maestro.

　　If it wins best picture, Spielberg will take home his fourth Oscar.

　　Martin Scorsese, meanwhile, broke Spielberg's record on director nominations. Scorsese is nominated this year for the movie The Killers of the Flower Moon.

　　周二，电影艺术与科学学院公布了好莱坞最高电影奖项——奥斯卡奖的提名名单。像往常一样，有些惊喜。也有些被忽视的，意味着被拒绝作为候选人的电影制作人或电影。以下是关于今年提名者的一些事实。

　　培养奥斯卡

　　演员朱迪·福斯特因在电影《Nyad》中的配角表演被提名。这是她的第五次提名。第一次提名是在47年前，当时她只有14岁。

　　今年，她在奥斯卡长时间缺席后以提名者的身份回归。她上一次被提名是在1995年的《Nell》。

　　福斯特曾两次获得奥斯卡最佳女主角奖。她第一次获奖是在1989年的电影《被告》。她在1992年的电影《沉默的羔羊》中再次获奖。她在《Nyad》中的搭档安妮特·贝宁也被提名为最佳女主角奖。和福斯特一样，贝宁也被提名过四次。但她还没有赢得任何奥斯卡奖。

　　福斯特的提名次数比她所在类别的其他演员加起来还要多。艾米丽·布朗特、丹妮尔·布鲁克斯、美丽卡·费雷拉和达文·乔伊·兰道夫都是首次被提名。

　　然而，福斯特的提名间隔并不是记录。去年，演员贾德·赫希在《The Fabelmans》中的表演获得了他42年来的第一次提名。
