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.
這是一位擁有投票權的學院會員（演員組、女性、與本屆入圍的影片都無關）
最佳影片：
我恨「異星入境」因為它很爛。我不喜歡藩籬，因為把舞台劇錄起來了，我想要看
一個男人走進爵士樂俱樂部演奏，一個懷著他孩子的女性，他的同類在足球場上，
我想Denzel覺得劇本太寶貴了，不願修改任何字，所以此電影就要受此後果。
我喜歡漫漫回家路的前半段，但是看起來後半段是由另一位導演及攝影製作。
我想「關鍵少數」是不錯的，因為是個好故事，但不是因為很難講述的故事。
「月光下的藍色男孩」和「鋼鐵英雄」真的是非常好的電影，但是我不認為它們是
最佳影片。「樂來越愛你」是部非常享受的電影，但是不是那麼深入或難忘的。
所以只剩下「海邊的曼徹斯特」和「赴湯蹈火」，兩部富有同情心的電影，
都是在編導演三方面均優的片。「赴湯蹈火」不會贏此獎項，但是我的最愛，
而且將成為真正的美國經典。
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 （我的選票）
(1) Hell or High Water
(2) Manchester by the Sea
(3) La La Land
(4) Hacksaw Ridge
(5) Moonlight
最佳導演:
不用理「異星入境」，但接下來就很難選了。我決定不選「鋼鐵英雄」，
不是因為梅爾的私領域問題（雖然我是猶太人），我想他現在是一個全新的人了，
他是一個有才華的導演，我祝他好運。Barry Jenkins真的導得好，但是電影中的
三部份並非連接很好。所以就剩下「海邊的曼徹斯特」和「樂來越愛你」。
Damien是個sweethear，我喜歡他在「進擊的鼓手」和此片拍攝手法，
而且他大概會贏得此獎項，但是我投給Lonergan，因為在他的片子裡面，
他有著更難的工作使片中每一個環節都成功，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已經演過這個角色無數次了，還因此贏得東尼獎，我很確定在舞台上，
他很棒，但是在此片中他的演出就於舞台劇中一般，你必須被視為活在當下，
如果他有一位優秀的導演執導此片，該導演將會助其得獎。安德魯和雷恩都很棒
但不是奧斯卡級。凱希有這一值得他演技的角色，但是我愛Viggo 在「神奇大隊長」
的演出，他是演員的演員，很可惜這可能是他所獲得的唯一一票。
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
她們我都不喜歡。我想Meryl就像是演一個小丑，她很可愛，但是這個女人
在電影最後對我而言無關緊要，但是大家對她讚譽有加，我想她在金球獎的演說
使她獲得提名。我很恨「第一夫人」，它太膚淺了，Portman出局。
Huppert 是個冷演員，我判她出局因為當妳被攻擊成那樣，妳不再是同一個人了，
但是她卻還是同一個人，使得我想要打她看看她的反應。Emma將會贏得此獎項，
因為她很可愛而且大家都愛她，但我不認為她像大家說得那麼棒。那麼只剩下Ruth，
雖然她是一號表演方式，但是至少她夠投入。
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和曼徹斯特中的小子都很好，但還不夠好。Ali是很好，但我不認為
他的角色有被發展出來，他是個好人但是忽然間他消失了。我很喜歡片中的Shannon，
但是不喜歡「夜行動物」，事實上我有投票提名他。我的選票給Jeff Bridges，
因為我喜歡「赴湯蹈火」。片中的演技幾乎是完美的。Jeff讓它看起來很容易，
但說真的，他所做的一點都不容易的事情。
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，別誤會我，我愛她而且認為她很棒，但是這是我的「抗議票」。
她應該是女主角那類的，而且當片商把那些明顯是主角的放在配角，就像去年的
Alicia Vikander，即使她還比Eddie的台詞多，這讓我很惱火，這使真正的女配角
無法被提名，像「赴湯蹈火」中的丁骨牛排館的女服務生。Viola大概會贏得此獎項，
但是她應該是女主角那類的。我喜歡Octavia，但是我覺得其他兩位演得更好。
Nicole就像她其他的片子裡的角色一樣。所以就只剩下真正的配角Michelle和Naomie ，
她們都很棒，但是Naomie的角色難演得多。
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)
改編劇本：
你都知道我討厭「異星入境」。「漫漫回家路」的劇本參差不齊。
我不認為「藩籬」有改編。所以就只剩下「月光」和「關鍵少數」。
我覺得「月光」的故事比較有挑戰性。
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
原著劇本：
「20世紀女人」是很好但不完全。「單身動物園」是很有趣但對我而言有點詭異。
「樂來越愛你」有點輕鬆。我掙扎於「曼徹斯特」和「赴湯蹈火」兩者間。
Lonergan很聰明也寫了個好劇本，但是我必須投給「赴湯蹈火」，即使它一點勝算
都沒有。
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
最佳動畫片
我每一片都看過了，還多部片我都喜歡，但是我愛「紅龜：小島物語」，
是裡面最有深度的一部。
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
最佳攝影：
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
最佳服裝設計
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
最佳剪輯：
這是一個很強（很競爭）的一組，John在「鋼鐵英雄」做得很好，
但是「赴湯蹈火」是我的最愛，我還是把我的票給它。
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
最佳妝髮：
我不喜歡「自殺突擊隊」。我收到的「星際爭霸戰：浩瀚無垠」的DVD在半途無法看，
我通知他們送一片新的來，可是沒收到，所以出局！有趣的是，我可能會投給他們說。
但，再說了，我喜歡「明天別再來敲門」（每個部份），所以我投給它。
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
最佳配樂：
我真的都聽完每一部的配樂。「樂來越愛你」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
最佳原創歌曲：
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
這些獎項真的對我而言很難，如果只有「best sound」將會容易點，
因為我真的弄不清楚這兩項，所以我決定不碰。
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] （棄權）
最佳視覺效果：
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
