纵观奥斯卡奖设立以来的获奖情况,凡饰演所谓“重型”角色(Heavy roles)者比较容易获得表演奖;反之,凡饰演所谓“轻型”角色者则很少得奖。例如喜剧片大师卓别林为好莱坞拍了许许多多佳作,但除了一九二七至一九二八年、一九七一年两届的荣誉奖外,从没得过最佳男主角或最佳男配角奖。 Looking at the winners since the Academy was established, those who play the so-called “heavy roles” are more likely to receive performance awards. Conversely, those who play so-called “light” roles rarely get awards. For example, the comedian Charlie Chaplin made many excellent compositions for Hollywood but never won the best actor other than the two awards of 1927 to 1928 and the 1971 awards Best Supporting Actor Award.
