Lead Actress Nominees²

最佳女主角提名

Of the five women nominated for the best lead actress Oscar, Margot Robbie is getting the most attention, Google says. The search engine reports the Australian actress makes up 36 percent of Google searches among the five nominees.

谷歌表示，在获得奥斯卡最佳女主角提名的5名女性中，玛格特·罗比（Margot Robbie）最受关注。据谷歌报道称，这位澳洲女演员占到了这5名女演员中36%的谷歌搜索量。

Robbie played American figure skater Tonya Harding in the film I, Tonya. Robbie also produced the film, which received three Oscar nominations⁴.

罗比在电影《我，花样女王》中扮演了美国花样滑冰运动员托尼亚·哈丁（Tonya Harding）。罗比还参与了这部获得三项奥斯卡提名的电影的制片。

Yet many experts believe Robbie will not win. They say Frances McDormand of Three Billboards⁵ Outside Ebbing⁶, Missouri is likely to take home the Oscar. In the film, McDormand plays Mildred Hayes, a woman filled with anger over the unsolved rape⁷ and murder of her daughter.

然而很多专家认为罗比不会获奖。他们表示，电影《三块广告牌》中的弗兰西斯·麦克多蒙德（Frances McDormand）可能会把这一奖项收入囊中。在这部电影中，麦克多蒙德扮演了米尔德里德·海耶斯（Mildred Hayes）这位对女儿被奸杀未破案充满愤怒的女性。

McDormand received 8 percent of Google searches.

麦克多蒙德获得了8%的谷歌搜索量。

英国女演员萨莉·霍金斯（萨莉霍金斯）获得了5%的谷歌搜索量，是获得该奖项提名的5位女性中最少的。她出演了由墨西哥电影导演吉列尔莫·德尔托罗执导的《水形物语》。这部影片获得了13项奥斯卡提名，是今年获得提名最多的电影。

Saoirse Ronan stars in another of the year’s top films, Lady Bird. It received nine Oscar nominations. Ronan received 24 percent of the Google searches, just behind Meryl Streep. Streep earned the nomination³ this year for her work in Steven Spielberg’s political thriller⁸ The Post. Streep has already won three Oscars and has been nominated a total of 21 times.

西尔莎·罗南（Saoirse Ronan）出演了今年另一部最佳电影《伯德小姐》。该影片获得了9项奥斯卡提名。罗南获得了24%的谷歌搜索量，仅次于梅丽尔·斯特里普（Meryl Streep）。斯特里普今年凭借斯蒂芬·斯皮尔伯格（Steven Spielberg）执导的政治惊悚片《华盛顿邮报》获得提名，她已经3次获得奥斯卡奖，并且一共被提名了21次。

Lead Actor Nominees

最佳男主角提名

Among the men nominated for Best Actor, Denzel Washington and Timothee Chalamet can each claim more than 30 percent of Google searches. Chalamet received the nomination for his leading role in the coming-of-age story Call Me By Your Name, while Washington earned it for Roman J. Israel Esq.

获得最佳男主角提名的丹泽尔·华盛顿（Denzel Washington）和提莫西·查拉梅（Timothee Chalamet）各自获得了30%以上的谷歌搜索量。查拉梅因为出演《请以你的名字呼唤我》一片的主角获得提名，而华盛顿因为出演《罗曼先生，你好》一片获得提名。

But many movie experts say ?Gary Oldman is the most likely winner. He has earned critical praise for his portrayal⁹ of Winston Churchill in The Darkest Hour. Oldman brought in just 11 percent of Google searches.

但是很多电影专家表示，加里·奥德曼（Gary Oldman）最有可能胜出。他凭借在《至暗时刻》中塑造的温斯顿·丘吉尔（Winston Churchill）而广受赞誉。奥德曼仅仅获得了11%的谷歌搜索量。

The other two nominees -- Daniel Day-Lewis and Daniel Kaluuya -- each come in with 13 percent of total searches. They are nominated for their work in the historical drama The Phantom¹⁰ Thread and the horror movie Get Out, respectively.

另外两名提名者丹尼尔·戴-刘易斯（Daniel Day-Lewis）和丹尼尔·卡卢亚（Daniel Kaluuya）在谷歌总搜索量中各自占到了13%。他们分别凭借历史片《霓裳魅影》和恐怖片《逃出绝命镇》获得提名。

Kimmel returns

金梅尔回归主持

Another popular person on Google is this year’s host Jimmy Kimmel. He also hosted last year’s event. That is when presenters¹¹ Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty famously announced La La Land instead of Moonlight as the Best Picture winner. After the mistake was corrected, Kimmel told television viewers, “I promise I’ll never come back” to host another Oscars.

今年谷歌上另一位热门人物是主持人吉米·金梅尔（Jimmy Kimmel）。他还主持了去年的颁奖典礼。当时颁奖嘉宾费·唐纳薇（Faye Dunaway）和沃伦·比蒂（Warren Beatty）备受关注地宣布《爱乐之城》赢得最佳影片奖，而不是《月光男孩》。在这一错误被纠正之后，金梅尔对电视观众表示，我保证再也不主持另一场奥斯卡颁奖典礼了。

But Kimmel will be back. On Google, popular Kimmel-related searches no longer mention last year’s Oscar mix-up. Instead, they include questions like, “How old is Jimmy Kimmel?” and “How tall is Jimmy Kimmel?”

但是金梅尔将会回归主持。在谷歌上，和金梅尔相关的热门搜索不再提到去年的奥斯卡颁奖乌龙。相反，搜索包括的问题诸如，“金梅尔什么年纪了？”以及“金梅尔有多高？”
