Winning an Oscar, a gold-plated statue just 13.5 inches tall, can launch a career. Just ask Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon ’ s Zhang Ziyi. Victory at the Academy Awards can even prompt national jubilation, as Ang Lee ’ s and Slumdog Millionaire ’ s wins did for Taiwan and India.
一尊高 13.5 英吋的小金人，可以讓電影人的事業平步青雲，例如《臥虎藏龍》的大陸女星章子怡；可以讓舉國歡騰，如李安之於台灣、《貧民百萬富翁》之於印度。
