the underlined sentences in the following passage into Chinese. How do films get nominated Is there an initial ballot before the
final one (89) The Academy sends out an empty
ballot to all the 5,830 Academy members at the beginning of Jan. with a separate
sheet of paper listing all the eligible films. This year, ballots were sent
out on Dec. 26, 2006 and had to be returned on Jan. 13. (90) To be eligible,
feature films have until midnight, Dec. 31, to open in a commercial motion
picture theater in Los Angeles County and begin a minimum run of seven
consecutive days. This year there were 307 films that were
eligible. Is every member of the Academy sent screeners
for all the films There is no rule that studios must
send out screeners of its films. (91) Some studios choose to send out
screeners for films that have been released late in the gear, giving voters an
opportunity to watch those movies at home when there are so many films vying
(竞争) for their attention. Studios begin sending out screeners in late Oct.
and voters have until Jan. 20 when final ballots are due to watch
them. How many screeners does the average member
receive Somewhere around 20. (92) It’s also
important to note that if a nominated film came out much earlier in the year,
screeners aren’t necessary because the movie is already out on
DVD. How likely is it that the voter will get to
watch all the movies Extremely unlikely. This past
year, in December alone, there were dozens of movies released. (93) Members
of the Academ7 are working film professionals and have full-time jobs, meaning
they don’t have time to see three movies a day, maybe only a couple a week.
Hence, having screeners at home makes viewing a lot more convenient.
