一、阅读理解

With autumn on the horizon, the season’s first Oscar competitors are here. Already, the Hollywood

Reporter has predicted that the often-snubbed(冷落的) Leonardo DiCaprio could win. Although before we get

swept up in predictions, it’s nice to remember that little gold men are not the reason we love the movies.

They shouldn’t be the primary reason for acting in them either.

Bill Murray knows this first hand. Murray was positioned to win his first-ever Oscar Academy Award

for 2004’s “Lost in Translation”, but he lost it to Sean Penn. Years later, Murray explained how he

took the defeat in stride(从容应对), and his words should act as a blueprint for anyone who has failed:

“I went through it once before and it’s nice to get nominated and win some prizes. You get to go

to dinners and tell little stories and so forth. Then you get to get dressed up. And then you get to be

on TV, which is sweet. And you can either win or lose. Well you’re not supposed to say ‘lose’ when you

talk about the Oscar. You are supposed to say ‘not chosen’. But I later realized that I had gotten a

little caught up in the possibility of winning. So, shame on myself for getting caught in it. But I won

a lot of the prizes for Lost in Translation. So I thought it didn’t seem unnatural to expect that I would

be rewarded just one more time. So when it didn’t happen, I thought, ‘Well, that’s kind of funny.’

But to get prizes is not why you work.”

Murray isn’t alone in those feelings. No mention of actors without Oscars would be complete without

recognition of Leonardo DiCaprio, who said, “I don’t think I ever expected anything like an Oscar ever,

to tell you the truth. That is not my motivation when I do these roles. I really am motivated by being

able to work with great people and create a body of work that I can look back and be proud of.”

Perhaps neither Murray nor DiCaprio will ever be introduced as an Academy Award-winning actor, but

winning an Oscar for acting shouldn’t be the point. Here are some other amazing actors who never won an

Oscar, even if you think they did: Julianne Moore, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Will

Smith. And they have proved

that countless times before.
