Peter Lorre (second from right) in The Maltese Falcon
18. Joseph Cotten (1905-94) 約瑟夫·科頓
Is he or isn't he trustworthy? There's a subtle decency to most of Cotten's work, though it can curdle into cynicism pretty fast, and his characters often get crushed by the looming failure of their dreams. Even when cast against type, as the murderous Uncle Charlie in Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt, he's a fascinating magnet for audience faith.
他值得信任嗎？科頓的大多數(shù)作品都略微正派,盡管情節(jié)在后半段很快變得憤世嫉俗,他所塑造的角色常因夢想的破碎而被擊垮.在希區(qū)柯克的電影《辣手摧花》中,即使角色形象和他本人并不相符,觀眾仍然被科頓塑造的兇殘的查理叔叔所深深吸引.
Most robbed for: Actor, 1949 – Holly Martins in The Third Man is the quintessential Cotten creation, and a man you betray at your peril.
失之交臂：最佳男主角,1949——《第三人》中的霍利·馬丁斯一角是典型的科頓風格：如果你背叛了馬丁斯,后果自負.
17. Peter Lorre (1904-64) 彼得·洛
In fairness, Lorre's famous child murderer in Fritz Lang's M (1931) was in Oscar's early days, when foreign films weren't embraced. Still, he made quite a mark in Hollywood soon after, with his unsettling cherub face, bulging eyes and ability to conjure auras of unseen depravity with just a few quick strokes.
公正地說,在弗里茲·朗執(zhí)導的《M就是兇手》中,洛塑造了一個著名的兒童殺手形象,那時奧斯卡還處于萌芽階段,外語片還不被接納.不過后來,憑借令人心神不安的天使面龐,淺褐色的雙眸,輕易烘托無形的墮落氣氛的高超演技,洛的表演在好萊塢留下了濃墨重彩的一筆.
Most robbed for: Supporting Actor, 1941 – The cane-sporting, clearly homosexual Joel Cairo in The Maltese Falcon was an early classic among Lorre's featured parts for Warner Bros
失之交臂：最佳男配角,1941——《馬耳他之鷹》中熱衷桿類運動的同性戀喬伊·開羅,是洛在華納兄弟電影中塑造的早期經典角色之一.
