本月初,一年一度的MTV电影电视盛典(MTV Movie & TV Awards)在美国洛杉矶开奖。
艾玛女神凭借火遍全球的《美女与野兽》(Beauty and the Beast)真人版获得了今年的MTV最佳演员奖。
本来嘛,艾玛·沃特森一直都是以美貌与智慧并重的形象示人,拿奖也很正常,只是,今年的MTV最佳演员奖有点不一样。
今年MTV首次不再分“最佳男主”与“最佳女主”,而是将男女演员合并进行评选,统称为“最佳演员”,不分性别平等竞争。
于是,艾玛拿到这样一个奖就显得意义“非凡”了,她的获奖感言更是换来各种酸溜溜的评论。
CNN知名晚间访谈主持人——皮尔斯·摩根称:“无论艾玛宣称自己什么性别,只要她一现身,地球上就再没有什么奖项能颁给政治正确而又自信的人了,真是可惜!”
两个问题:
(1)如果她真的那么宣扬性别中立,那为什么她不穿中性的服装?
(2)《美女与野兽》中的贝尔是传统的女性角色
无性别?性别中立?完蛋了,我竟然都看完了(白眼)。
唉,拿奖就拿奖呗,但偏偏这个奖又加上“性别”色彩,难免让人联想到艾玛之前被人黑,被人怼的事。莫非真是人红是非多?
话说女神在前段时间一直致力于HeForShe女权运动,在联合国演讲,成立女性读书俱乐部,激励女性充实自己,活出自我。

虽然这些举措获得女性们的欢迎,但也招来很多男性的谩骂和恐吓。
而上一阵子艾玛还因为半裸登上杂志封面,更是被人指责太虚伪,一边大谈女权,怼别的女性暴露,自己反倒拍这种讨好男性的性感照。
更甚之,有媒体更指责艾玛耍大牌,因为今年奥斯卡的热门影片《爱乐之城》原本是想找她当女主,但传闻称,因为艾玛要求剧组飞到伦敦才肯进行彩排,甚至开出许多夸张的条件,让剧组无法接受……于是,另一位Emma就阴差阳错“捡”到了一个奥斯卡影后。
到底我们的女神美好的人设是否随时就要崩塌了呢?或许我们也只能静待时间的考验啦!
现在,小伙伴们大可先听听这篇让人议论纷纷的获奖感言,用自己雪亮的眼睛来作个判断!

Wow. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. Firstly, I feel I have to say something about the award itself. The first acting award in history that doesn't separate nominees based on their sex says something about how we perceive the human experience. MTV's move to create a genderless award for acting will mean something different to everyone. But to me, it indicates that acting is about the ability to put yourself in someone else's shoes. And that doesn't need to be separated into two different categories.
Empathy and the ability to use your imagination should have no limits.
This is very meaningful to me. Both to be winning the award and to be receiving it from you, Asia [Kate Dillon]. Thank you for educating me in such—in such an inclusive, patient, and loving way. Thank you so much.
I think I'm being given this award for a performance as an actor, but it doesn't feel like that's what it's really for, although I am very grateful if you did think that I did a good job because the whole singing part of the situation was pretty terrifying—yeah, not kidding about that part!
But more seriously, I think I am being given this award because of who Belle is and what she represents. The villagers in our fairy tale wanted to make Belle believe that the world was smaller than the way she saw it, with fewer opportunities for her—that her curiosity and passion for knowledge and her desire for more in life were grounds for alienation. I loved playing someone who didn't listen to any of that.
I'm so proud to be a part of a film that celebrates diversity, literacy, inclusion, joy, and love the way that this one does.
I want to thank Linda Woolverton for writing the original Belle, Jeanne-Marie LePrince de Beaumont for writing what the animated movie was based on, and Paige O'Hara for playing Belle in the original. And I want to thank every single person who voted for me. Thank you so much.
Taraji [P. Henson], I can't see you, but Daniel [Kaluuya], James [McAvoy], Hailee [Steinfeld], all of you, it's a privilege to have been nominated alongside you. Lastly I want to thank any one and everyone who had anything to do with giving me this opportunity and for supporting me on that journey. You know who you are, and I can't thank you enough. Thank you so, so much.
