Chapter 1212 The focus returns
As the saying goes, if the east is not bright, the west is bright——
Oscar always maintains a high profile and ignores the vase idols. On the one hand, he tries to use these vases to win the attention of young audiences, but on the other hand, he condescendingly refuses to give them recognition——
Standing and standing again.
Anyway, even Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio kneeled down and licked the academy throughout the whole process, didn’t they?
Grammy bravely keeps up with the times, embraces popular changes with open arms, and chooses the latter between stubbornness and advancement with the times. At the same time, it boldly makes a voice for niche culture at a professional level - < br>
Make a bold move.
Unlike the Academy, the Grammy nomination list deserves special attention every year and can always unearth new music and new singers.
This time, it's no exception.
When the Oscars didn't take Anson seriously at all, and took it for granted that Anson would not refuse to attend the awards ceremony, and completely failed to remember the lessons of last year, the Grammys generously opened their arms and embraced Anson's strong rise. Focus all your attention.
In the 46th Grammy nomination list, the August 31st band has undoubtedly become a major focus, reminding people with practical actions:
Don't forget that in this year's craze for Anson's full rise, music plays an important role. Even if the film field refuses to recognize Anson's "strength", in the music world, they will always refuse labels and discrimination.
Music has no boundaries.
In this year's Grammy nomination list, the August 31st band received six nominations including production of the year, song of the year, album of the year, new artist of the year, best rock group, best alternative album, etc.!
Boom, boom boom boom!
Total shock and commotion.
There is no doubt that the band August 31st was the biggest discovery of 2003. It emerged with an alternative and innovative attitude and shocked the entire music world. It was well deserved to be nominated for the Newcomer of the Year.
August 31st is up against Evanescence, Fifty Cent, Sean Paul and Heather-Headley for the nomination.
Each team is strong and has even been hailed by the media as the strongest substitute lineup in the past ten years.
However, the band on August 31st still takes the lead temporarily due to its comprehensive strength and high popularity, because they also received all three other comprehensive award nominations, showing a powerful momentum of sweeping the army.
At the Grammys, there are numerous awards. 70% of the awards are announced in advance before the annual awards ceremony. Only a few heavyweight awards are announced on the night of the awards ceremony.
These awards are divided into category departments and comprehensive departments.
The category departments are pop, country, rock, hip-hop, etc.
The comprehensive department has four major awards, production of the year, song of the year, album of the year, and new artist of the year.
Category departments are changing every year. In recent years, jazz, bluegrass and other music have gradually declined. It may even be impossible to find five outstanding nominees throughout the year. Therefore, adhering to the principle of erring on the side of shortage, Grammy does not necessarily set up awards every year.
For example, this year, should the album "Summer Midnight" belong to the rock department?
It's a bit ambiguous, after all, the band's use of different instruments for arranging and performing has deviated from people's simple understanding of rock.
Coupled with the fact that it could not find five good enough rock albums to fill the nominations this year, the Grammys simply canceled the award for Best Rock Album.
Instead, Midnight was nominated for Best Alternative Album.
The Grammy's approach is in sharp contrast to the ostentatious and sensational gestures of some award shows——
Yes, this is the Inner Golden Globe Awards.
It is precisely because of this that there have been many changes in the awards in the genre department, and the weight and authority of the comprehensive department awards have been highlighted. These four major awards are open to all musicians in all music genres. As long as the music work is released during the Grammy registration period, You are qualified to compete.
For this reason, the comprehensive award has also won the title of "general award", which means that it runs through all types and does not distinguish between types.
Every year, the winners of the four comprehensive awards attract much attention. Now, on August 31st, the band has not only received nominations for Newcomer of the Year, but also received nominations for three other major comprehensive genres, with great momentum——
In fact, August 31st are not only ahead of New Artist of the Year contenders such as Fifty Cents and Evanescence, but they are the only artist among this year's Grammy nominees to sweep the four major genre nominations.
only!
That's the Grammy's stance.
While the Oscars were still concerned about Anson's status as a vase, the Grammys affirmed Anson's talent with nominations in four major comprehensive genres.
Among the four major categories of nominations, Song of the Year, Album of the Year and Newcomer of the Year are all awarded to the singers themselves, with the exception of Production of the Year, which is awarded to producers, including songwriters and producers.
Therefore, in this year's annual production nominations, Anson Wood's name legitimately occupies a seat.
This is the correct way to treat Anson.
In the end, August 31st led this year's Grammys with six nominations, along with Beyoncé, Outkast, and Jay-Z.
However, even Beyoncé, even Fifty Cents, and even Outkast were not nominated for all comprehensive awards, even excluding New Artist of the Year. Beyoncé and Outkast were not nominated. All three other overall genre nominations.
In other words, the band August Thirty-One is on a roll.
From Justin Timberlake to Coldplay, from Luther Vandross to Eminem, in a year where stars gathered and the music market exploded, the August 31st band successfully stood out!
No wonder!
No wonder not only the music field, but also the entire entertainment industry has become a sensation.
No wonder the media mobilized to criticize Oscar when he said nothing.
Look at the Grammys. Not only did they extend an olive branch to Anson, but their posture was so formal and grand. This is the embodiment of Anson’s current influence in the entire North American and even global markets.
Not to mention just Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio in his prime may also be slightly inferior.
As a result, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences took on such a noble stance.
The problem is, if it's true, forget it, what happened to Johnny Depp? What happened to Jude Law?
In other words, it’s not that the Oscars don’t want to see the vase, it’s just that they don’t want to see Anson. Just look at the lessons learned at last year’s awards ceremony.
It’s really haha.
There is no harm without comparison, and the latter really deserves the Grammy's backstabbing of Oscar.
For the first time, "Vanity Fair" reported that Anson and members of the August 31st band had gathered to rehearse for a special performance on the Grammy Awards stage. Anson's public relations spokesperson Eve also confirmed this report.
"Anson is looking forward to it."
"The Grammys are a hall that everyone dreams of. Regardless of whether they are nominated or not, it is an honor to be on the performance stage. Anson is actively preparing."
"Oscar? Are you asking about Oscar?"
