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。

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。

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？”
