《艺术家》：第84届奥斯卡最大赢家！
France was awash in Oscar celebrations on Monday after "The Artist" won five Academy Awards including the first Best Actor win for a Frenchman, unleashing a wave of national pride.
Television stations played The Artist star Jean Dujardin's acceptance speech over and over -- his Hollywood victory came too late to make the front pages -- and politicians on the campaign trail sought to capitalise on the excitement.
President Nicolas Sarkozy called Dujardin's performance "dazzling," while his Socialist rival for the presidency, Francois Hollande, said the five Oscars won by The Artist made the film a "legend of French cinema."
The Artist, a French tribute to Hollywood's silent era, clinched the coveted Best Film award, grabbed a Best Director for Michel Hazanavicius and also won for musical score and costume design as well as Dujardin's Best Actor.
In the run-up to the Oscars, satiric nightly news show "Le Petit Journal" presented recurring clips of "Jean vs. George (Clooney)," a spoof of over-hyped boxing matches in which images of the two rival nominees faced off amid theatrical music and special effects.
In an multi-page spread in Paris Match magazine last week, Dujardin's wife Alexandra Lamy -- who herself has three upcoming films -- said the behaviour of people in France has changed since her husband was nominated for an Oscar.
"They encourage Jean, they want him to win for them, for France. You would think we were back in 1998, during the World Cup," she said.
The Artist was re-released in France earlier this month to capture a second wave of filmgoers motivated by the buzz around Dujardin, a well-liked actor who has been working in film for more than a decade.
"I think it's very good and more than that, Jean Dujardin is very nice, he doesn't seem to be gloating ..." said one French film fan on Monday. "It's a very beautiful film, nostalgic."
Dujardin and Lamy became household names in 1999 when they starred in the television show "A Guy and a Girl". A few years later, the comedy "Brice de Nice," in which he played a dead-beat surfer, sealed his fame and box-office appeal.
In The Artist Dujardin plays silent movie icon George Valentin, a Clark Gable type who refuses to accept the death of the silent movie. Co-star Berenice Bejo was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar, while Uggie the dog, an expressive Jack Russell Terrier, also steals a scene or two.
"Maybe it's a feel-good movie, a love story, a simple story and maybe there is a cute dog. Everybody loves a cute dog," Dujardin explained to Reuters TV in a January interview.
In France, ads for a new buddy film, "The Unfaithful", co-directed by and co-starring Dujardin, have caused a mini-storm, with Dujardin's face photographed between the straddled, shapely legs of a woman in high heels.
FIRST FRENCHMAN
With his win on Sunday night, Dujardin became the first French actor to win an Academy Award for Best Actor.
Two French actresses before him have taken home Oscars for Best Actress. Simone Signoret became the first French person to win an Academy Award when she won it in 1959 and Marion Cotillard won in 2007. Claudette Colbert, who left France at the age of three, won in 1935.
"I love your country," Dujardin declared in English in accepting his award, before reverting to his native French to shout, "Bloody Hell! Brilliant! Thanks! Fantastic! Thank you very much!"
Back on home soil on Friday, Dujardin was shut out from France's highest acting honors, the Cesars, with the "Best Actor" award going to Omar Sy in "Intouchables." Still, The Artist received six Cesars, including a Best Actress for Bejo.
Hollywood has fallen hard for the suave Dujardin, who managed to also nab Best Actor awards this season at the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild, as well as a BAFTA award in London.
Dujardin burst into a rousing rendition of France's national anthem, "La Marseillaise," after winning the SAG awards, and acknowledged the "pressure" was on to represent his country.
当地时间2月26日晚，第84届奥斯卡奖颁奖典礼在改名为“好莱坞高地中心”（Hollywood and Highland Center）的原柯达剧院隆重举行，颁奖季头号热门《艺术家》包揽最佳影片、最佳导演、最佳男主角等5项大奖，成为最大赢家。提名阶段以11项领跑的3D电影《雨果》成功拿下最佳视觉效果，最佳艺术指导、最佳摄影等5个技术奖项，收获颇丰。两部主打致敬与复古招牌的电影获褒奖，体现出本届奥斯卡奖对传统的尊敬。
凭借《铁娘子》第17次获得奥斯卡提名的梅丽尔·斯特里普击败《帮助》中的黑人影星维奥拉·戴维斯，加冕影后桂冠，这是她第三次获得奥斯卡奖，也是在《苏菲的选择》时隔近30年后再度捧起奥斯卡影后奖杯。伊朗电影《一次别离》毫无悬念的拿下最佳外语片奖，《兰戈》获最佳动画长片奖。美国脱口秀女王奥普拉·温弗里获颁琼·赫肖尔特人道主义奖。
《艺术家》登顶最佳影片 《雨果》横扫技术奖
法国导演米歇尔·哈扎纳维希乌斯执导的《艺术家》以默片的形式向经典好莱坞时期的无声电影致敬，片中很多略带调侃意味的戏仿桥段带观众重温了好莱坞黄金时代的旧梦。该片在去年底进入颁奖季以来便一直强势领跑，最终在奥斯卡奖上包揽了最佳影片、最佳导演、最佳男主角、最佳原创配乐、最佳服装设计5项大奖，没有给竞争对手丝毫像去年《国王的演讲》那般翻盘的机会。在颁奖典礼前的红毯仪式上，凭《后人》获影帝提名的乔治·克鲁尼就笑称自己没有准备获奖感言，因为今晚注定是法国之夜。《艺术家》是奥斯卡历史上第二部获得最佳影片的默片，第一部正是在1929年首届奥斯卡奖上获奖的《翼》。
与《艺术家》类似，老导演马丁·斯科塞斯执导的3D电影《雨果》同样主打致敬与复古牌，被影迷称为“老马写给电影的一封情书”，该片的3D效果受到了广泛好评，甚至被《阿凡达》导演詹姆斯·卡梅隆称赞为迄今为止3D效果棒的电影。在当晚的颁奖典礼上，《雨果》横扫了包括最佳视觉效果、最佳摄影、最佳艺术指导、最佳音响效果、最佳音效剪辑在内的5个技术奖项，可谓对该片精良制作水准的最大肯定。
斯特里普二度封后 三次夺奖追平英格丽·褒曼
演员奖项方面，《艺术家》男主角、法国男星让·杜雅尔丹击败乔治·克鲁尼（《后人》）、布拉德·皮特（《点球成金》）等好莱坞大腕，登顶影帝宝座，由于他在片中的造型与表演风格跟好莱坞传奇影星克拉克·盖博十分相似，不禁令人感慨奥斯卡评委是把票投给了让·杜雅尔丹还是投给了人人都爱的克拉克·盖博。《初学者》中82岁高龄的克里斯托弗·普卢默凭借对同性恋角色的演绎获得最佳男配角，成为奥斯卡历史上年龄最大的表演类奖项获奖者。
凭借《铁娘子》第17次获得奥斯卡提名的梅丽尔·斯特里普击败《帮助》中的黑人女星维奥拉·戴维斯，加冕影后桂冠，这是她第三次获得奥斯卡奖，也是在《苏菲的选择》时隔近30年后再度捧起奥斯卡影后奖杯，此前她还曾在1980年凭借《克莱默夫妇》获得最佳女配角奖。至此，梅丽尔·斯特里普成为继四度封后的凯瑟琳·赫本、三次获奖（二后一配）的英格丽·褒曼之后，第三位拿到三座以上小金人的女演员。《帮助》中的黑人女星奥克塔维亚·斯宾瑟获得最佳女配角奖。
“九朝元老”克里斯托Hold住全场 奥斯卡与“NBA”撞车
为了吸引年轻观众的关注提高收视率，奥斯卡学院去年曾邀请当红明星詹姆斯·弗兰科与安妮·海瑟薇主持颁奖典礼，但两人的表现不尽如人意，尤其是弗兰科全场如同梦游的发挥受到舆论一致炮轰。今年的主持人换作了此前曾八度主持奥斯卡颁奖典礼的比利·克里斯托，这位九朝元老在当晚的表现一如既往的完美，大气中不失幽默，以犀利的语言调侃众多在场嘉宾但却不会有冒犯之感，令观众不再怀念因故辞掉主持工作的黑人喜剧男星艾迪·墨菲。
值得一提的是，今年的奥斯卡颁奖典礼与NBA全明星赛在时间上撞到了一块，一边是吸引全球影迷目光的电影盛事，一边是全世界篮球迷一年一段的篮球大餐，此次“撞车”可谓美国电影全明星与篮球全明星之间号召力的对决，令本届奥斯卡在奖项归属之外多了几分额外的话题与精彩。
