阿凡达的娜媞丽：应该获得奥斯卡还是只是特技的功劳？
有关阿凡达中演员的动态捕捉算不算真正的表演且够资格去参加奥斯卡奖项的角逐的辩论一直以来都非常激烈。詹姆斯卡梅隆的演员们必须非常努力的表演才能使他们的角色的动作看起来真实。但是这些还是不足以打动美国演员工会，甚至阿凡达的演员都没有在今年得到提名。可能美国演员工会只是担心使用CGI会使真人演员慢慢失去工作。但公平来讲，其实更容易丢掉工作的可能是化妆师和服装师。
虽然阿凡达已经获得多项提名，并且已经获得了不少的奖项，但是其中的演员一直在被好莱坞忽视。“我不认为他们了解我们演员的工作”詹姆斯卡梅隆在针对关于演员的争论中说，他认为虽然佐伊萨尔达纳在电影中一直是以那美人的形态表演，但却需要很强的表演功底。“每一秒钟的表演都是由佐伊来完成的。如果你细想一下，她为了塑造这个角色做了非常多的事情，从掌握口音，学习新的语言，再到激烈的体能训练，这些都是获得奥斯卡的演员所做的，她只是一个空空的房间里完成了这些。
但是奖励日报的Sasha Stone似乎并不买账。“我很感谢他们的努力，但是我们看到的萨尔达纳是前所未有的技术与动态捕捉的结合，传统意义上这些都不算是表演。佐伊萨尔达纳确实有很大的进步，而且使得阿凡达成为一部美丽的电影，但是没有人能够说这是100%的佐伊萨尔达纳，而没有美丽的技术的参与。
你管怎样，阿凡达仍然是奥斯卡最佳影片的夺冠大热门，特别是因为奥斯卡奖项的投票者更在乎技术而不是演技。
The debate rages over whether AVATAR's performance capture is true performance for the Oscars and other awards. Cameron's actors had to work hard to make AVATAR's action look real, but it wasn't enough to impress the Screen Actors Guild, which didn't even nominate AVATAR actors this year. Maybe SAG is just worried that the increasing use of CGI will put human actors out of work, but to be fair, the most-threatened jobs may in fact be makeup artists and costumers.
And still… though Avatar has been nominated for numerous awards, and won several already, its stars have been pretty much ignored by Hollywood. “I don’t think they understand that we don't embellish or make up portions” said James Cameron, referring to critics. He feels that Zoe Saldana, seen in the film only in computer-rendered Na'vi form, is especially worthy. "Every second of the performance is Zoe. If you think about it, she did many things for this role, from mastering an accent and learning a language to intense physical training, [these] are the kinds of things that earn people Oscars. And she did it all in a blank room."
Sasha Stone of Awards Daily isn't buying it: “I appreciate [the] sentiment but what we saw with Saldana was [an] unprecedented combination of technology and performance capture—but in the traditional sense, it is not acting… Zoe Saldana makes for a moving and beautiful Avatar—one of the most memorable characters of the year. But no can say for sure that it is 100% her and not this beautiful technology along with it.”
Regardless, AVATAR remains heavily favored for the best-picture Oscar, especially since many Academy Awards voters are from more technical disciplines than acting.
What do you think – are Zoe and Sam acting or is technology doing the magic? Are they worthy of a Best Acting Oscar?
