'No Country for Old Men', Foreign Actors, Big Winners at Oscars
奥斯卡群星闪烁欧洲影星灿烂夺目
Filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen were big winners at this year's Academy Awards ceremony Sunday. Their grisly crime tale No Country for Old Men earned four of Hollywood's top honors.
A tale of a drug deal gone bad, No Country for Old Men was named best picture. Brothers Ethan and Joel Coen shared the honor of best director for the film, and earned Oscars for its screenplay, which was adapted from a novel by Cormac McCarthy.
Joel Coen said the brothers have made films since they were youngsters in Minnesota.
乔尔.科恩说,他们兄弟二人还年纪轻轻的时候就开始在明尼苏达拍电影。
''Honestly, what we do now doesn't feel that much different from what we were doing then. We're really thrilled to have received it, and we're very thankful to all of you out there for continuing to let us play in our corner of the sandbox,'' he said.
The pair previously won the original screenplay Oscar for their 1996 film Fargo.
乔尔.科恩和伊桑.科恩兄弟创作的《冰血暴》曾经获得1996年奥斯卡最佳原创剧本奖。
Javier Bardem was named best supporting actor for his role as a psychopathic killer in No Country for Old Men. Backstage, he praised the other actors in his category.
"Who should win? I don't know. This is a lottery. I won. That doesn't mean that I am better than the other ones, than the rest at all, that's for sure," he said.
Bardem is from Spain, and other Europeans also won top acting honors. Helen Mirren announced the winner for best actor.
尔顿是西班牙人,而其他欧洲演员也赢得了大奖。海伦.迈伦宣布了最佳男主角获奖者:
"And the Oscar goes to Daniel Day-Lewis and There Will be Blood, " she said.
“最佳男主角的获奖者是《未血绸谬》的丹尼尔.刘易斯。”
Britain's Daniel Day-Lewis was favored to win for his role as a ruthless prospector in the tale of the California oil boom. He thanked the film's director, Paul Thomas Anderson.
The Austrian film The Counterfeiters, a tale of Nazi-era Europe, won the Oscar for best foreign-language film.
奥地利影片《伪钞制造者》获得最佳外语片。这部影片讲述了纳粹时代发生在欧洲的一段故事。
And screenwriter Diablo Cody, a former exotic dancer, won the Oscar for best original screenplay for Juno, the hit comedy about a pregnant teenager. The Oscar presentation was a night of celebration, coming shortly after the end of a three-month writer's strike.
