　　The best picture race was tight this year. The Academy has revealed 336 films were eligible for a nomination, a much larger number than last year’s 305. In 2014, that number was still smaller with 320.

　　本届最佳影片奖的争夺可谓是异常激烈。之前，美国电影艺术与科学学院宣布共有336部电影入选2017年奥斯卡奖的最佳影片单元，比去年的305部多出不少。2014年，入围影片也仅仅有320部。

　　Getting into the Oscars is no easy feat for a journalist. The Academy received 744 credential applications for this year’s show but only 288 outlets were given access.

　　奥斯卡颁奖典礼的入场券对于记者们来说可谓是一票难求。本届奥斯卡共收到了744份来自各大媒体的验证申请，但最后只有288家通过。

　　No. of Oscars

　　曾颁发的奥斯卡奖项总数

　　It’s tough to get an Oscar, but thousands have been handed out since the first show in 1929. The Academy reports that including the four Oscars given at the Governor Awards in November 2016, a total of 3,048 Oscars have been presented in history.

　　虽然很难得到奥斯卡奖，但自从1929年第一届奥斯卡举办以来，举办方已经颁发了数千个奖项。据美国电影艺术与科学学院报道，如果将去年11月颁发的四个“终身成就奖”算在内，则历史上共颁发了3048个奥斯卡奖项。

　　Statue Design

　　奥斯卡小金人

　　Like previous shows, this year’s Oscar winners will be presented with a statue weighing in at 8.5 pounds. The award is 13.5 inches long and just over 5 inches wide.

　　和之前一样，本届奥斯卡获奖者每人会得到一个奥斯卡“小金人”，小金人重8.5磅(约合3.8千克)，高13.5英寸(约0.3米)，宽5英寸(约0.1米)。

　　Nominees

　　提名者

　　Like previous shows, there are 24 category wins up for grabs at this year’s Oscars.

　　Air Time

　　播出时间

　　The 2017 show is scheduled to begin airing at 8:30 p.m. on Sunday and conclude at 11:30 p.m., but the Oscars have some steep competition if they want to make history. The longest Oscar telecast to date was in 2002 with a show that ran four hours and 23 minutes.

　　本届奥斯卡将会在当地时间周日晚上8点半开始，约于11点半结束，然而有时某些奖项竞争过于激烈，也会出现延时的情况。据悉，时间最长的一次奥斯卡颁奖直播是在2002年，历时4小时23分。

　　Red Carpet

　　红毯环节

　　Before taking one of the 3,300 sets at the Dolby Theater, the Oscar guests will have to take a walk down the large red carpet. The theater’s red carpet is approximately 900 feet long and 33 feet wide.

　　本届颁奖典礼在杜比剧场举行，共设有3300个座位。然而，各位明星在入场前需要走一段红毯。该剧院门前的红毯大概有900英尺(约274米)长，33英尺(约10米)宽。

　　Ratings

　　收视率

　　The Oscars doesn’t bring in a small TV audience. Last year’s show brought in a U.S. audience of 34.4 million people. The 2017 ceremony will air in more than 225 countries and is expected to entertain “several hundred million” viewers.

　　观看奥斯卡颁奖典礼的观众可谓是数不胜数。去年，美国本地观众达到了3440万。2017年的颁奖典礼将会在225多个国家中同步直播，相信届时观众会达到上亿人。

　　Fan Tickets

　　粉丝入场券

　　Press are not the only ones who have a tough time getting into the Oscars, it will also be a tough spot for fans. While last year the Academy had roughly 745 bleacher seats for fans to watch as the celebrities arrive on the red carpet this year will only offer 735.

　　不单单是记者难以参加这场电影盛宴，很多粉丝费尽心思也未能现场一睹风采。去年，学院为粉丝群体仅设了745个看台座位，便于其观看各路名人走红毯。然而，今年数量却减少至735个。
