25 Things You Never Knew About the Oscars It's almost here! The 89th Academy Awards finally airs this Sunday, February 26th, and we're counting down the minutes. 一年一度的奥斯卡金像奖颁奖礼又如期而至。第89届奥斯卡金像奖颁奖礼于2月26日（周日）直播，翘首以待，进入倒数计时了。 We've already given you some fascinating Oscars stats, and now we're bringing you some of the best facts about Hollywood's biggest awards show. From the first Best Actor winner, to the 'one dollar' Oscar rule, here are 25 things you don't know about the Oscars. 媒体都争相报道了一些令人瞩目的奥斯卡统计数据。这里我们再向你们提供一些有关好莱坞盛大颁奖礼鲜为人知的趣闻轶事。从第一个最佳男演员奖得主到 “一美元”奥斯卡规则。奥斯卡金像奖颁奖礼上还有23件事儿你不知晓。 1. The youngest Oscar winner was Tatum O'Neal (above), who won Best Supporting Actress for 'Paper Moon' (1973) when she was only 10 years old. Shirley Temple won the short-lived Juvenile Award at just 6 years old. 年纪最小的奥斯卡奖得主是泰特姆奥尼尔(上图), 荣获最佳女配角奖《纸月亮》(1973年), 当时她才只有10岁。秀兰·邓波儿获得了临时奖项奥斯卡青少年奖时仅6岁。 2. After winning Best Actress for 'Cabaret' (1972), Liza Minnelli became (and still is) the only Oscar winner whose parents both earned Oscars. Her mother, Judy Garland, received an honorary award in 1939 and her father, Vincente Minnelli, won Best Director for 'Gigi' (1958). 在赢得最佳女主角奖《歌厅》(1972年)后，丽莎·明奈利是(现在仍然是)唯一的一位影星，其父母曾赢得过奥斯卡奖。她母亲朱迪·加兰1939年获得荣誉奖项；而她的父亲文森特·明奈利获得影片《金粉世界》最佳导演奖(1958年)。 3. Nameplates for all potential winners (meaning, every nominee) are prepared ahead of time; in 2014, the Academy made 215 of them! 2014年奥斯卡颁奖礼之前都提前做好了可能获奖影星（也就是每位被提名人）的姓名牌，大约有215位奥斯卡金像奖被提名人。 4. The first Academy Awards were presented in 1929 at a private dinner of about 270 people. It was first televised in 1953, and now the Oscars ceremony can be seen in more than 200 countries. 第一届奥斯卡颁奖典礼1929举办，大约有270人参加了私人晚宴。奥斯卡颁奖典礼于1953年进行了首次电视直播，现在全球200多个国家都可以同步看到奥斯卡颁奖典礼。 5. Only four women have received Best Director nominations -- Lina Wertmüller (1977), Jane Campion(1994), Sofia Coppola (2004), and Kathryn Bigelow (2010) -- while Bigelow is the lone winner for 'The Hurt Locker' (2009). Interestingly, Bigelow beat out ex-husband James Cameron, who was nominated for the technological wonder 'Avatar.' 史上只有四位女性导演获得最佳导演提名--莉娜·韦特米勒(1977年)，简·坎皮恩(1994年)，索菲亚·科波拉(2004年)和凯瑟琳·毕格罗(2010年)，而毕格罗是唯一的一位女性导演，因导演《拆弹部队》(2009年)成为大赢家。有趣的是,毕格罗击败前夫詹姆斯·卡梅隆，他因电影《阿凡达》的奇妙科技装置而获得提名。 6. At 82, Christopher Plummer (above) is the oldest person to win an Academy Award. He received the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his work in 'Beginners' (2010), opposite Ewan McGregor. 82岁的克里斯托弗·普卢默(上图)是赢得奥斯卡奖年龄最长的一位演员。他因出演《初学者》(2010年)这部电影获得了奥斯卡最佳男配角，和他演对手戏的是伊万·麦格雷戈。 7. Peter Finch ('Network') and Heath Ledger ('The Dark Knight') are the only actors to be awarded an Academy Award posthumously. Ledger's Oscar -- and his entire fortune -- was gifted to his young daughter, Matilda. 彼得·芬奇（饰演《网络》）和希斯·莱杰（饰演《黑暗骑士》）是唯一两位死后获得奥斯卡奖的演员。莱杰的奥斯卡奖品以及他所有的财富都作为礼物送给他年幼的女儿玛蒂尔达。 8. With her nomination for 'Florence Foster Jenkins,' Meryl Streep has been nominated a record 20 times. She won Best Supporting Actress for 'Kramer vs. Kramer' (1979), and has two Best Actress Oscars, one for 'Sophie's Choice' (1982) and one for 'The Iron Lady' (2011). 梅丽尔·斯特里普因饰演电影《佛罗伦萨福斯特詹金斯》获得提名，她本曾被提名20次，所以创下有史以来提名最高记录。她因参演电影“克莱默和克雷默”(1979年) 赢得最佳女配角奖，随后也获得了两个奥斯卡最佳女主角奖：一个是《苏菲的抉择》(1982年)而一个是《铁娘子》(2011年)。 9. Katharine Hepburn won a record four Academy Awards -- all Best Actress Oscars--the last for 'On Golden Pond' (1981), which starred another Hollywood legend, Henry Fonda. 凯瑟琳·赫本创下了四个奥斯卡金像奖的纪录 -- 所有奥斯卡最佳女演员奖 -- ,最后一个奥斯卡最佳女演员奖的电影是《金色池塘》(1981年)，另一个好莱坞传奇人物就是亨利·方达。 10. The first Oscars were held at the famous Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Today, the ceremony takes place at the Dolby Theatre, its tenth venue. 第一届奥斯卡金像奖颁奖礼是在著名的好莱坞罗斯福酒店举行。现今颁奖礼是在杜比剧院，也就是第10号演播大厅。
11. Jack Nicholson (above) is the most-nominated male actor, receiving 12 Oscar nominations beginning with 1969's 'Easy Rider.' His three wins tie him with Walter Brennan and Daniel Day-Lewis. 杰克·尼科尔森(上图)是获得提名次数最多的男演员，从1969年开始出演《迷幻骑士》起获得12项奥斯卡提名。他赢得三次奥斯卡金像奖奖项，所以他与沃尔特·布伦南和丹尼尔·戴·刘易斯旗鼓相当。
12. Oscar statuettes are technically property of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. 奥斯卡小金像是电影艺术与科学学院的技术属性。 As a result, before an Academy Award winner or his/her estate can sell an Oscar, they must first offer to sell it back to the Academy for one dollar (yes, one dollar). This, of course, is to discourage winners from selling the award for financial gain. Oscars awarded before 1950, however, are not bound by this agreement. In 2011, Orson Welles's 1941 Oscar for 'Citizen Kane' was sold at auction for over $800,000. 13. Only three films have won all of the 'Big Five' Academy Award categories: 'It Happened One Night' (1934), 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' (1975), and 'The Silence of the Lambs' (1991). The 'Big Five' categories are: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay (either adapted or original). 只有三部电影赢得了所有 “五大”奥斯卡奖的大满贯：《一夜风流》(1934年)；《飞越疯人院》(1975年)和《沉默的羔羊》(1991年)。
14. In 1940, the LA Times broke the Academy's embargo and published the names of all the Oscar winners prior to the ceremony. As a result, the Academy introduced the sealed envelope tradition that's still used today. 1940年,《洛杉矶时报》打破了奥斯卡金像奖的禁令，在颁奖礼之前将所有奥斯卡奖得主的名字提前发表出来。结果，奥斯卡金像奖颁奖礼就开启了密封信封的传统，而且沿袭到今天。
15. The legendary Alfred Hitchcock was nominated five times for Best Director, but never took home the Oscar. 创奇导演阿尔弗雷德·希区柯克有过5次最佳导演的提名，但从来也没有将奥斯卡金像奖的奖杯捧回家。
16. 'Ben-Hur' (1959), 'Titanic' (1997), and 'The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King' (2003) (above) are the most successful films in Oscar history, each winning a whopping 11 Oscars. 'Return of the King' is the only one to win every award for which it was nominated. 《宾虚》(1959年)、《泰坦尼克号》(1997)、《魔戒：王者归来》 (2003年)(上图)是奥斯卡历史上最成功的电影、一举赢得11项奥斯卡大奖。《王者归来》也是唯一的一部获得所有提名奖项的电影。
17. Composer John Williams is the most-nominated living person, having earned 50 Oscar nominations throughout his storied career, beginning with 1967's 'Valley of the Dolls.' 约翰·威廉姆斯是目前提名最多尚在世的作曲家，在他传奇的职业生涯中拥有50个奥斯卡提名，他的提名开始于1967年为电影《娃娃谷》（或《飞越美人谷》）。
18. The longest Oscar acceptance speech ever delivered was five and half minutes, and it was given by 1943 Best Actress winner Greer Garson, who won for 'Mrs. Miniver.' 有史以来最长的奥斯卡获奖感言长达五分半钟，那是1943年因饰演电影《米尼弗夫人》夺得最佳女主角葛丽亚·嘉逊是做的获奖感言。
19. Oscar statuettes were made from painter plaster during World War II due to metal shortages. After the war ended, these Oscars were replaced with traditional statues. 二战期间由于金属短缺，奥斯卡金人小雕像只好用画家石膏代替。战争结束后，这些奥斯卡小雕像就被传统的雕像所取代。 20. Bob Hope hosted the ceremony a whopping 19 times, the most of any host in Oscars history. 鲍勃·霍普连续主持了奥斯卡金像奖颁奖礼有多达19次之多，从而成为奥斯卡历史上主持次数做多的主持人。
21. With his Best Actor nomination for 'American Sniper' (2014), Bradley Cooper (above) has been nominated for an acting Oscar three years in a row. That's one shy of the record for most consecutive acting nods, held by the late Marlon Brando. 由于饰演电影《美国狙击手》(2014年)而获得最佳男演员提名，布莱德利·库珀(上图) 连续三年都被提名为奥斯卡表演奖。
22. The first Best Actor awards were given to Emil Jannings for 'The Last Command' and 'The Way of All Flesh' (yes, both!). 埃米尔·杰宁斯曾因两部电影获得最佳男演员奖。 23. At the 29th Academy Awards ceremony held in 1957, the Best Foreign Language Film category was introduced. Previously, the best foreign language film was acknowledged with a Special Achievement Award. 1957年举行的第29届奥斯卡颁奖典礼,引入了最佳外语片奖。之前，最佳外语片只能获得特别成就奖。
24. In 1999, Cate Blanchett and Judi Dench were both nominated for playing Queen Elizabeth in 'Elizabeth' and 'Shakespeare in Love.' Dench won Best Supporting Actress, despite only appearing in the film for a total of eight minutes. Meanwhile, Blanchett lost the Best Actress Oscar to Gwyneth Paltrow -- also for 'Shakespeare in Love.' 1999年，凯特·布兰切特和朱迪·丹奇都因在电影《伊丽莎白》和《莎翁情史》中扮演女王伊丽莎白而获得提名。丹奇虽然只在电影出场露脸的时间总共才8分钟却赢得最佳女配角奖项。同时，布兰琪败于格温妮丝·帕特洛未能因饰演电影《莎翁情史》而赢得奥斯卡最佳女主角奖。
25. 'O.J.: Made in America,' nominated this year for Best Documentary Feature, has a running time of 7 hours and 47 minutes, making it the longest film ever to nab an Oscar nom. 《辛普森：美国制造》今年被提名为最佳纪录长片奖，片长7小时47分钟，也是迄今为止获得奥斯卡金像奖提名最长的电影。 微信编辑器 构思编辑器
