Oscars chiefs promise 'bold, risky' show 今年奥斯卡要“大变脸”
第81届奥斯卡颁奖礼将于2月22日在柯达剧院隆重举行。由于近年的奥斯卡颁奖典礼收视率持续下降，去年的第80届颁奖礼更是创历史新低。因此，美国电影艺术与科学学院决定在今年的颁奖礼上进行大胆改革，使其重新成为一大吸引人的“亮点”。据主办方透露，今年的典礼主持人为澳大利亚演员休•杰克曼，典礼开场将不复以往老套的主持人独白，也不会放那些颁奖嘉宾预先录制的搞笑片段。典礼颁奖嘉宾的身份则一直处于高度保密状态，直到典礼当天才会闪亮登场。为了让颁奖典礼更加精彩，制片方要求提名演员在准备答谢词时要简短、真诚，要在仅有的45秒钟内说出最想说的话。
Oscars organizers promised a bold new approach to this month's Academy Awards, at a star-studded luncheon here Monday to salute this year's crop of nominees.
After years of declining viewing figures that culminated in last year's 80th Oscars recording an all-time ratings low, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have moved to revamp Hollywood's annual extravaganza.
The co-producers of the February 22 show, Bill Condon and Laurence Mark, have so far kept full details of their planned changes to the Oscars' tried-and-tested formula tightly under wraps.
However Academy president Sid Ganis told nominees at the Beverly Hilton hotel on Monday to expect some daring tweaks to the telecast.
"It's going to be a show that takes some bold risks," said Ganis.
Oscars organizers have already confirmed one change by announcing Australian actor Hugh Jackman as the host of the show, a departure from the recent tradition of popular comedians acting as compere.
Among the changes reported to be contemplated by Mark and Condon are the decisions to dispense with the ceremony's opening monologue and to keep "canned" segments to a minimum.
The identities of the presenters on the awards night have also been kept a secret when in previous years the Academy revealed presenters in the weeks building up to the ceremony.
The New York Times reported Monday that the producers are seeking to boost the appeal of the show by asking studios to provide scenes from future films.
Under the initiative, 10-second clips of around two dozen new movies would be shown as the show's credits roll.
Meanwhile Ganis on Monday also urged nominees to give some thought to making their acceptance speeches memorable -- and short.
"As for the acceptance speeches -- you know what's required," Ganis said. "Be brief, be personal and be heartfelt. You have a grand total of 45 seconds."
Ganis was speaking before an audience that included 15 of the 20 actors and actresses who are nominated for Oscars this year, notable absentees including Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Meryl Streep.
This year's Oscars are expected to be a shoot-out between rags-to-riches Mumbai-set romance "Slumdog Millionaire," which has 10 nominations, and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," with 13.
Although historically the film with the most Oscar nominations has prevailed in the coveted best picture race, "Slumdog Millionaire" is widely seen as the clear favorite after a virtual clean sweep at key awards shows this year.
The movie's favorite status solidified at the weekend after British director Danny Boyle scooped the top prize at the prestigious Director's Guild of America (DGA) awards, regarded as an important Oscars bellwether.

第81届奥斯卡颁奖典礼于北京时间2月23日中午13时落下帷幕。《贫民窟的百万富翁》最终以十项提名八项获奖的成绩成为本届奥斯卡“中奖率”最高的影片，同时因其获得最佳影片和最佳导演两项大奖而成为不折不扣的最高“含金量”影片。西恩?潘和凯特?温斯莱特分别获封“影帝”和“影后”；最佳女配角颁予出演《午夜巴塞罗那》的佩内洛普?克鲁兹，最佳男配角则向已逝的希斯?莱杰致敬。1976年出演《电视台风云》的彼得?芬奇去世两个月后获得奥斯卡奖，这是奥斯卡在其之后第二次将演员奖颁给逝者。

"Slumdog Millionaire" took the best-picture Academy Award and seven other Oscars on Sunday, including director for Danny Boyle, whose ghetto-to-glory story paralleled the film's unlikely rise to Hollywood's summit.
The other top winners: Kate Winslet, best actress for the Holocaust-themed drama "The Reader"; Sean Penn, best actor for the title role of "Milk"; Heath Ledger, supporting actor for "The Dark Knight"; and Penelope Cruz, supporting actress for "Vicky Cristina Barcelona."
A story of hope amid squalor in Mumbai, India, "Slumdog Millionaire" came in with 10 nominations, its eight wins including adapted screenplay, cinematography, editing and both music Oscars (score and song).
"Just to say to Mumbai, all of you who helped us make the film and all of those of you who didn't, thank you very much. You dwarf even this guy," Boyle said, holding up his directing Oscar.
The filmmakers accepted the best-picture trophy surrounded by both the adult professional actors who appeared among the cast of relative unknowns and some of the children Boyle cast from the slums of Mumbai.
As he took the stage to accept his prize for playing slain gay-rights pioneer Harvey Milk, Penn gleefully told the crowd: "You commie, homo-loving sons of guns."
For his demented reinvention of Batman villain the Joker, Ledger became only the second actor ever to win posthumously, his triumph coming exactly 13 months after his death from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs.
His Oscar for the Warner Bros. blockbuster was accepted by Ledger's parents and sister on behalf of the actor's 3-year-old daughter, Matilda.
Since his death, the 28-year-old Ledger has gained a mythic aura akin to James Dean, another rising star who died well before his time.
The Joker was his final completed role, a casting choice that initially drew scorn from fans who thought Ledger would not be up to the task given Jack Nicholson's gleefully campy rendition of the character in 1989's "Batman."
The previous posthumous Oscar recipient was Peter Finch, who won best actor for 1976's "Network" two months after his death.
Cruz triumphed as a woman in a steamy three-way affair with her ex-husband and an American woman in Woody Allen's romance.
"Has anybody ever fainted here? Because I might be the first one," Cruz said, who went on with warm thanks to Allen. "Thank you, Woody, for trusting me with this beautiful character. Thank you for having written all these years some of the greatest characters for women."
"OK, that fainting thing, Penelope," Winslet joked later as she accepted her best-actress prize for "The Reader," in which she plays a former concentration camp guard in an affair with a teen. "I'd be lying if I haven't made a version of this speech before. I think I was probably 8 years old and staring into the bathroom mirror, and this would be a shampoo bottle. But it's not a shampoo bottle now."
It was Winslet's first win after five previous losses.
The acting categories were presented by five past winners of the same awards, among them last year's actress winners, Marion Cotillard and Tilda Swinton, plus Halle Berry, Nicole Kidman, Kevin Kline, Sophia Loren, Anthony Hopkins, Shirley MacLaine and Robert De Niro.
It was a much different style for the Oscars as each past recipient offered personal tributes to one of the nominees, without clips of the nominated performances. Awards usually are done in chit-chat style between a couple of celebrity presenters.
After last year's Oscars delivered their worst TV ratings ever, producers this time aimed to liven up the show with some surprises and new ways of presenting awards. Rather than hiring a comedian such as past hosts Jon Stewart or Chris Rock, the producers went with actor and song-and-dance man Hugh Jackman, who has been host of Broadway's Tony Awards.
Instead of the usual standup routine, Jackman did an engaging musical number to open the show, saluting nominated films with a clever tribute.
