Despite the Academy's unanimous vote four years ago,to double the number of women and diverse members of the Academy by 2020.

尽管奧斯卡委员会四年前一致投票决定,到2020年,将女性和其他种族获奖者的数量翻一翻。

For a fourth year in a row no female director has received a nomination in the category of Best Director.

连续第四年没有女性导演获得最佳导演奖提名。

"Don't you tell me what I can't do!"

“别跟我说我不能做什么!”

Cynthia Riva was the only non-white actor to receive a nomination for best performance for Harriet.

辛西娅.瑞瓦是唯一位因《哈里特》获得最佳男演员提名的非白人演员。

Others such as Jennifer Lopez in Hustler's,Lupita Nyong'o in Us,and Eddie Murphy in Dolemite Is My Name were excluded.

《舞女大盗》中的詹妮弗洛佩兹、《我们》 中的露皮塔.尼永奥和《我叫多麦特》中的艾迪.墨菲等人都被排除在外。

The reason behind this set back.

这背后的原因让人自食其果。

The percentages are still like overwhelmingly white and male.

白人和男性获奖者仍然占绝大多数。

I think it's like 64% male and 84% white.

我认为,获奖者中, 男性占64%,白人占84%。

Cynthia Fuchs is associate director of Film and Video Studies at George Mason University.

辛西娅.福克斯是乔治梅森大学电影和视频研究的副主任。

She says the Academy is making strides but not fast enough.

她表示, 奥斯卡委员会正在取得进步,但速度还不够快。

It's a long time issue in Hollywood, a money-making machine reluctant to invest in films about minorities and women.

在好莱坞,这是一个长期存在的问题,这个赚钱机器不愿意投资少数族裔和女性的电影。

But Fuchs points to box office successes like Black Panther and Get Out, featuring an extensive black cast and Bong Joon-ho's South Korean film Parasite which received six Oscar nominations this year.

但福克斯指出,像《黑豹》和《逃出绝命镇》这些票房昊的韩国电影《寄生虫》今年斩获六项奥斯卡提名。

Most people around the world actually think it is the best version.

世界.上大多数人都认为,这是最好的电影版本。

Fuchs says nominees are often Hollywood insiders who can afford extensive advertising campaigns,such as filmmaker Martin Scorsese nominated for the Irish Man,and Quentin Tarantino for his Hollywood nostalgia Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

福克斯表示,被提名者通常都是好莱坞内部人士,他能够负担得起大规模的广告宣传活动,比如导演马丁.斯科塞斯凭《爱尔兰人》获得提名,昆汀.塔伦蒂诺凭《好莱坞往事》获得提名。

Many of its insiders have gained momentum from the buzz generated by receiving coveted awards before the Oscars,such as the BAFTA's, SAG Awards, Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards.

斩获奥斯卡奖项前,许多业内人士都曾斩获令人垂涎的奖项,并从中获得动力,如英国电影和电视艺术学院奖、美国演员工会奖、金球奖和评论家选择奖。

Money-making films such as Todd Phillips' billion-dollar box office hit, Joker,will be more on people's radar than a small independent film says Fuchs.

福克斯表示,像托德.菲利普斯的十亿票房大片《小丑》这样的赚钱电影将比-部独立的小电影更受人们的关注。

And while the Academy is slowly warming up to minorities and women,it may be too little too late as younger generations are tuning out leading to lackluster Oscars ratings,says Richard Craig media expert at George Mason University.

乔治梅森大学的理查德.克雷格是媒体专家,他表示,虽然奥斯卡正在慢慢地向少数族裔和女性敞开怀抱,但由于年轻- -代不再关注奥斯卡,奥斯卡的收视率变得低长, 敞开怀抱可能为时已晚。

I think they're just going in the different avenues.I think the academies are going to ship.

我认为,他们只是在走不同的路。我认为,奥斯卡委员会学院将推出更多电影。

Maybe we'll see more streaming in regards to categories or somethings, actually,but I don't know yet.

也许我们会看到更多的流媒体分类或其他东西,但事实上我还不知道。

Cynthia Fuchs agrees more and more streaming companies are producing and showcasing diverse smaller films,allowing their subscribers for a relatively small monthly fee access to film work from all over the world, and all that from the comfort of one's couch or anywhere really, using mobile technology.

辛西娅.福克斯同意越来越多的流媒体公司正在制作和放映各种各样的小电影,允许订阅者躺在舒适的沙发上或者任何地方,使用移动技术以相对较低的月费观看来自世界各地的电影作品。

People watch movies in a variety of ways now.

现在,人们看电影的方式多种多样。

And people who make movies watch movies in а variety of ways now.

现在,拍电影的人看电影的方式也多种多样。

Not everybody goes to the theater. So Netflix is aware of that.

不是每个人都去电影院。所以,Netflix意识到 了这一点。

Amazon Prime is aware of that. Hulu is aware of that.

Amazon Prime意识到了这一点, Hulu也是。

Disney is aware of that. Everybody is aware of that.

迪斯尼很清楚这一点, 每个人也都知道这一点。

Fuchs says as more and more movies are being produced outside the Hollywood system.

福克斯表示,随着越来越多的电影在好莱坞之外制作完成.

Hollywood's traditional role as the epicenter of the film industry could be waning,and so could the Oscars, if they don't reform soon enough.

如果好莱坞和奥斯卡不尽快改革的话,好莱坞作为电影产业中心的传统角色可能正在减弱,奥斯卡也可能如此.
