大表姐劳伦斯成最吸金奥斯卡候选人
Jennifer Lawrence is the highest-earning actor or actress to earn an Oscar nomination in this year’s awards, according to Forbes’s magazine. The magazine, which publishes an annual list of the top-earning male and female actors, lists Lawrence as the world’s highest-earning actress, after she netted $52 million before tax last year.
据福布斯杂志报道,詹妮弗·劳伦斯是今年入围奥斯卡的演员中收入最高的一位。福布斯发布了年度最吸金男女演员,劳伦斯去年税前净赚5200万美元,成为全球最高收入女星。
Lawrence is the only Best Actress or Supporting Actress nominee to appear on Forbes’s list: none of the other nominees’ 2014-15 earnings met their $6m mimimum for inclusion. In fact, she made more money last year than all her fellow Best Actress nominees put together.
劳伦斯是跻身福布斯榜单的唯一一位奥斯卡“最佳女主角”或“最佳女配角”候选人:其他候选人因达不到2014-2015年度的最低收入要求600万美元而遗憾落榜。实际上,她去年的入账超过了其他入围“最佳女演员”女星收入的总和。
As Forbes point out, if Lawrence wins the award, it will be first time that an actress has won an Oscar in the same year as becoming the world’s highest paid, though former list-topper Sandra Bullock came close in 2014, when she was nominated for a Best Actress award for her role in Gravity.
正如福布斯指出的那样,此次大表姐若能得奖,她将成为第一个同年既获得奥斯卡又入选全球收入最高演员榜单的女星。而此前,因出演《地心引力》被提名2014“最佳女主角”的该年度最高收入女星桑德拉·布洛克曾与这个荣誉失之交臂。
Nonetheless, it seems that awards do matter more financially to women than to men; a closer look at the figures suggests that actresses may be expected to have won a major award before they can break into a higher pay bracket. While overall pay for women is lower, the highest-earners are more likely to have an Oscar than not to have one: eight out of the top 15 highest-paid actresses have won Academy Awards.
然而,相比于男演员,能否获奖似乎对女演员的收入影响更大。仔细研究数据后会发现,女演员在获得一项大奖之后,通常收入都能更上一层楼。尽管女星的收入总体要低一些,但收入最高者获得奥斯卡奖的几率还是要高一些:收入前15的女演员中有8位曾获得奥斯卡金像奖。
But for men the reverse is true: none of the top 15 highest-earning male actors has ever won an Oscar. Even accounting for the presence of three Bollywood stars on the list (Bollywood films are rarely major Oscar contenders), the gap is still surprising.
但在男演员这儿,情况却截然不同:收入前15的男星中没有一位获得过奥斯卡奖。就算将榜单上的3位宝莱坞男星包括在内(宝莱坞电影鲜少入围奥斯卡),也无济于事。
It looks likely that Leonardo DiCaprio (ranked at number 13) will be the first among them to snag a trophy. DiCaprio is the highest-earning male acting nominee at this year’s Oscars, but still earns far less than Lawrence’s $52 milllion, pocketing a paltry $29 million in 2014-15.
看起来,莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥(入选榜单第13)将成为第一个赢得奥斯卡的高收入男星。小李子是今年入围奥斯卡的收入最高男星,但他的吸金能力还是远逊于大表姐劳伦斯,2014-2015年度他仅赚得2900万美元。
In October, Lawrence criticised Hollywood’s gender pay-gap in an essay on Lena Dunham’s website, in which she suggested that female actors still have “a lingering habit of trying to express our opinions in a certain way that doesn’t ‘offend’ or ‘scare’ men,” and are reluctant to negotiate for higher wages as a result.
2015年10月,劳伦斯在莉娜·杜汉姆的网站发文批评好莱坞在片酬方面的性别差异,她认为女演员“仍旧习惯于以不‘冒犯’或‘吓到’男性的方式表达自己的意见”,所以不愿意争取更高的片酬。
“Jeremy Renner, Christian Bale, and Bradley Cooper all fought and succeeded in negotiating powerful deals for themselves,” she wrote. “If anything, I’m sure they were commended for being fierce and tactical, while I was busy worrying about coming across as a brat and not getting my fair share.”
大表姐这样写道:“杰瑞米·雷纳,克里斯蒂安·贝尔和布莱德利·库珀都成功争取到了丰厚的片酬。区别就在于,尽管他们表现得偏激,人们仍会赞扬他们的策略,而我要不停担心是否会因此给别人留下难缠的印象、是否能得到应有的报酬。”
