Peter Lorre (second from right) in The Maltese Falcon
18. Joseph Cotten (1905-94) 约瑟夫·科顿
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.
他值得信任吗？科顿的大多数作品都略微正派,尽管情节在后半段很快变得愤世嫉俗,他所塑造的角色常因梦想的破碎而被击垮.在希区柯克的电影《辣手摧花》中,即使角色形象和他本人并不相符,观众仍然被科顿塑造的凶残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·马丁斯一角是典型的科顿风格：如果你背叛了马丁斯,后果自负.
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.
公正地说,在弗里兹·朗执导的《M就是凶手》中,洛塑造了一个著名的儿童杀手形象,那时奥斯卡还处于萌芽阶段,外语片还不被接纳.不过后来,凭借令人心神不安的天使面庞,浅褐色的双眸,轻易烘托无形的堕落气氛的高超演技,洛的表演在好莱坞留下了浓墨重彩的一笔.
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——《马耳他之鹰》中热衷杆类运动的同性恋乔伊·开罗,是洛在华纳兄弟电影中塑造的早期经典角色之一.
