Amy Adams

Amy Adams
The Fighter 《斗士》
2005年和2008年两次获得奥斯卡提名

This is her third nomination, but unfortunately it won't prove lucky. As amazing as she is in "The Fighter", her co-star's flashier role will most likely garner more votes. She's been nominated frequently during the awards season, but hasn't won a major precursor. Having said that, Melissa Leo is facing a bit of a backlash, and if the Academy wants to reward the movie, Adams could be the lucky recipient of that.
这是Adams第三次获得奥斯卡提名,但是这次她恐怕不会很走运。虽然她在《斗士》里表现惊艳,但是同她联袂出演的影星Melissa Leo在片中所扮演的角色更加光彩夺目,她很有可能取得更多的票数。在颁奖季里Adams也被频繁提名,但是没能获得一座重要奖杯。虽然之前这么说了,不过事实上Melissa Leo现在遇到了一些激烈反对,如果奥斯卡想把奖项授予这部电影,那么Adams也许可以幸运地成为赢家。

Helena Bonham Carter

Helena Bonham Carter
The King's Speech 《国王的演讲》
1997年凭借影片《欲望之翼》获得奥斯卡提名

Back in the 90s she was mostly known as that period chick who starred in all those Merchant Ivory movies. Now she's mostly known for being playing the evil Bellatrix from the Harry Potter movies and also for dressing all cray cray on the red carpet. Seriously, this woman is a kook... Even though she's won the BAFTA and the ensemble cast at this year's SAGs, she's not considered a frontrunner. However, if "The King's Speech" steamrolls the competition that night, her performance might earn her a train ride to the podium.
90年代的时候,Carter留在人们心目中的是那些描写二次大战前上流社会温吞吞的情感故事中的少女形象。如今她却以出演哈利波特里那个邪恶的Bellatrix以及她在红地毯上的各种疯狂穿着而闻名。说实在的Carter是个怪人……虽然她获得了英国电影学院奖,还获得了演员工会奖中的最佳整体表演奖,可是人们并不认为她在这五个人中处于领先地位。不过呢,如果当晚《国王的演讲》以压倒性的方式获胜,或许Carter也有机会走上领奖台。

Melissa Leo

Melissa Leo
The Fighter 《斗士》
2008年凭借影片《冰冻之河》获得奥斯卡提名

This 50-year-old actress is enjoying a career high that most women in her age bracket would die for. Long heralded the "one to beat" in this category, Leo has won practically every precursor including the Golden Globes, SAGs, Broadcast Film Awards and New York Film Critics to name a few. It looked like she was unstoppable... that is until those tacky "For Your Consideration" ads she paid for by herself. Reportedly, a few Academy voters were completely turned off by them and have publicly said Leo has lost their votes.
现在,50岁的Leo所达到的事业高度是绝大多数她这个年龄段的女性所渴望的。长期以来Leo被认为是最佳女配角人选中“独孤求败者”,她已经获得了几乎所有的重要奖项,包括美国电影电视金球奖、演员工会奖、广播影评人协会电影奖和纽约影评人协会奖。看上去她是势不可挡……直到她自掏腰包拍了些俗气的"For Your Consideration"广告上杂志(Melissa Leo有点不满年纪太大登不上封面,得不到太多注意,瞒着派拉蒙和公关公司,自己掏钱拍照片上杂志,为自己拉票)。据报道,一些奥斯卡投票人因为这事对Leo完全失去了兴趣,他们公开表示Leo失去了他们的选票。

Hailee Steinfeld

Hailee Steinfeld
True Grit 《大地惊雷》
第一次获得奥斯卡提名

Even though some thought her breakthrough performance in "True Grit" was worthy of a lead award, the studio wisely submitted her for the supporting one. She's got a way better chance here. Now that Melissa Leo has opened the door to the other four ladies, Steinfeld is considered the most likely to upset in this category. If she does, she'll be the third youngest Oscar supporting actress winner ever. Tatum O'Neal was 10 in "Paper Moon" and Anna Paquin was 11 when she won for "The Piano".
虽然一些人认为Steinfeld在《大地惊雷》中的突破性表演足以让她获得一个最佳女主角奖,电影公司很聪明地让她去角逐最佳女配角,因为在这里她有更好的机会。既然Melissa Leo为其他四位女性打开了通往奥斯卡奖之门,那么Steinfeld就被认作了是最有可能获得这一奖项的人。如果她成功了,那么她将成为获得奥斯卡最佳女配角的影星中年纪最小的第三人。Tatum O'Neal凭借《纸月亮》获胜时是10岁,而Anna Paquin凭借《钢琴课》获胜时是11岁。(Steinfeld现在是14岁)

Jacki Weaver

Jacki Weaver
Animal Kingdom 《动物王国》
第一次获得奥斯卡提名

This Australian actress is mostly known for her stage work. In fact, she was so busy fulfilling prior stage obligations, she was barely available to do any press or campaigning for her Oscar nomination. Her portrayal as the matriarch of a notorious Melbourne crime family has won worldwide praise and comparisons to being the most terrifying matriarch figure since Faye Dunaway in "Mommie, Dearest".
澳大利亚女星Jacki Weaver最为人熟知的是她在舞台上的表演。事实上,由于她忙着履行之前的舞台出演义务,她都没时间为自己的奥斯卡提名开展任何发布会或者拉票会。Weaver在影片中扮演了墨尔本恶名昭著的犯罪家族中的女族长,她的表现得到了来自全世界的赞许,人们将她比作自Faye Dunaway出演《亲爱的妈咪》以来最出色的女族长形象。
