开场白：

Good morning my listeners,

Today is Thursday, February 10th, 2022. 今天是2022年2月10日，星期四。

I am wrapping up this weekly regular program with news stories about the Academy Award 2022, aka the Oscar.

昨天奥斯卡公布其今年的提名，那我们今天就聊聊这个话题。

Our love for movies may have changed as the pandemic hit us two years ago. But I guess it didn’t stop those professionals making some good hits for us to watch in and out of our homes.

The online streaming giant Netflix took the first place, for 27 nominations, for the first time.

以下就是今天的一些相关报道。
