Chapter 1112: Embarrassing Moment
The atmosphere in the VIP lounge was a little depressing, and the leaders of the old scholars of the Grammy Academy had strange expressions, and when they heard that the Best Rock Album Award was awarded to the glorious and deadly "Bathing in the Morning Light", their first reaction was to look at each other in surprise and surprise, but the next second, they all avoided their eyes as if they had seen a ghost, lowered their heads or looked away, and tried to pretend that nothing had happened.
Awards ceremonies like the Grammys and Oscars are authoritative because of the large number of members, strong professionalism, and anonymous voting, which avoids the situation where a small number of judges prefer to determine the trend of awards like the three major European film festivals. And, apart from the legally enforceable tellers, no one, including the Academy's top leaders, could know the outcome until the winners' envelopes were opened. This is an important factor in ensuring the authority of the award ceremony.
But why do people always like to say that the old pedants of the academy don't like this work, so it is basically impossible to win the award? This is the so-called public opinion effect. Simply taking "bathing in the morning light" as an example, if a small number of people with seniority, authority, prestige, and connections in the group of old scholars of the academy do not like this album, or think that this album does not meet the aesthetic standards of this year's Grammys, then when they are interviewed by reporters, when writing columns, when they are communicating in daily exchanges, and when they have conversations in important social situations, their opinions will be expressed, and then they will influence others.
They are the role of "opinion leaders" in the process of disseminating information.
These statements are then disseminated through a variety of communication channels, just as the news media can control the minds of ordinary people, and the members of the academy are influenced by these views. After all, these views are "authoritative and professional".
Therefore, there is a certain trend in the aesthetic view of the academy, which also makes the list of nominees and winners of the Grammys and Oscars traceable, and there are a large number of prediction lists every year - and the success rate of senior professionals is not low. This is why when people mention the Grammys or Oscars, they always use "academy" as a whole to explain it.
So, how did the unpopular come about? This is the part that public opinion cannot take into account. It is as if the United States hopes that the people at home will support them in attacking Iraq and Afghanistan, which is called "anti-terrorism", and the mainstream voice is like this, but the opposition voice still cannot be concealed. That's it.
In the process of disseminating the mainstream views of the academy, in the process of transformation and processing of some sources, deviations are bound to occur, and the most important thing is that the judges of the academy are all "people", since they are people, everyone has their own aesthetic standards, and it is not necessarily the same every time. Therefore, when there is a deviation, after the number of judges exceeds a certain limit, the upset appears.
This is also the core value of "college public relations", the famous Weinstein brothers are taking advantage of this deviation, and then relying on their strong connections and accurate public relations methods to find out the psychology of the judges, guess the preferences of the judges, and concentrate on overcoming specific groups of judges, and finally realize the Weinstein brothers' Oscar unpopular myth again and again.
Obviously, the award for Best Rock Album was such an accident.
Originally, the old pedants thought that it was enough to give a nomination for Glory to Death, and a Best Rock Song Award was also a matter of course, and this should be the level of Glory to Death on the Grammys this time - even if the quality of the album "Bathing in the Morning Light" is far more than that, but even the "Don't Mind" of the Nirvana Band has been buried, and it is nothing for the Grammys to bury another "Bathing in the Morning Light". What's more, at least Glory to Death has a gramophone in hand, which is much better than the Nirvana Band.
But the problem is that the album "Morning Light" is so good, and the song "Beautiful. day)" can be called the most successful and outstanding song after entering the 90s, and it is different from "juvenile heart", this song has a positive and majestic style that coincides with the Grammys, maintaining their own personality and creating their own style at the same time, but not too unruly, and the core idea of sunshine is even more applaudable.
It's a shame to miss such an album. A once-in-a-decade classic, the Grammys have missed "Don't Mind", and if they miss "Bathing in the Morning Light" again, this may be a swan song. The more professional and senior the person, the more profound the experience.
Therefore, this group of old scholars began to think, "Surely they will not vote for glory to death, I will vote for it, and maintain my impartiality and authority." One person thinks the same way, and the two think the same way...... As a result, the award for Best Rock Album fell on the head of the glorious to death.
In fact, judging from the embarrassed and stunned expressions of the seven academy veterans in the VIP lounge, it seemed that they all had the same idea, and they had made the same choice. It is worthy of being the most conservative, stubborn and core group of old scholars in the academy, and even the pace of "making mistakes" has remained the same.
Originally, with the absolute quality of the album "Bathing in the Morning Light", it deserved to win the Best Rock Album Award, and the song "Beautiful Day" has the absolute strength to sweep the awards ceremony - Glory to Death was not only nominated in the three comprehensive awards, but also won the award with absolute outstanding.
But the problem is that not long ago, the live performance of Glory to Death gave the Grammys a resounding slap in the face, and they have not yet discussed how to face the media after the ceremony, and as a result, Glory to Death won the award again, this time almost the Grammys themselves gave themselves a slap in the face, and the broken teeth could only be swallowed in the stomach.
As a result, there was this eerie atmosphere in the VIP lounge, which was really the most embarrassing moment since the Grammys kicked off tonight.
The seven college judges staggered their eyes in embarrassment and emptiness, while the three CBS TV executives sensitively sensed the strangeness of the atmosphere, but only exchanged glances, and then all three of them pretended to have nothing to do, calmly and calmly applauded to congratulate the glory to death. These old foxes naturally know what to be curious about and what to ignore.
The VIP lounge was stunned, and the audience was stunned, but the audience applauded after being surprised, and they all expressed their congratulations on the glory to death in this way. Even the competitors, the Rolling Stones, the Band of the Flash, the Sound Garden, and Pearl Sauce, applauded.
From an objective standpoint, "Bathing in the Morning Light" won this award, which is absolutely deserved.
The expressions on the faces of the five members of the glorious death were very strange, and all five of them looked at each other, even a little crying and laughing, and Pedro's phrase "they are sure they didn't send the wrong person" clearly expressed the band's true thoughts at this time - especially after the performance just now.
The five members walked up to the stage with applause and took over their second gramophone of the night, unlike the first trophy that was awarded to Hugo, this time it really belonged to the band, so it was Neil who took the trophy on behalf of everyone. Neil looked back at his teammates, and his eyes paused specifically on Hugo, but found that no one was willing to step forward to give an acceptance speech, which was originally a moment of glory, but now no one wants to take the initiative. Neil was helpless.
Neil walked over to the microphone with the trophy and hesitated, "First of all, I think I have to thank Hugo, thank you for bringing us band members together, and thank you for making such a great album, although we went through many difficulties during the recording process, we persevered, it was not an easy task." ”
Neil looked back at his teammates and thanked them, "Then ......" Neil paused, "Thank you Sheeran Raikunen for helping us finish this album, thank you Henry Bloom for believing in our band, you need to put up with our band's nonsense all the time, hard work." Finally......" Neil thought about it, but there was not much information in his head, it was not easy to say that the award speech was not an easy task, he was not prepared at all, and it was really a bit ...... to win the award at this point in time Odd.
"Finally, thank you to my teammates, glory to death!" After Neil finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but after taking half a step, he realized that he seemed to have forgotten something, and turned around and added, "Thank you, the Grammy organizing committee, thank you!" ”
The audience finally couldn't help laughing and laughed directly. But before the laughter could rise, the applause rang out, drowning out the laughter.
For the audience, they don't know the story behind the Glory to Death performance for the time being, but it is clear about the festival between Glory to Death and the Grammys. Last year, Glory to Death refused to attend the Grammys, and this year the Grammys extended an olive branch and Glory to Death was able to attend, but judging from the process of the awards ceremony, the Grammys obviously intend to correct the status of grunge rock, but it is a momentum of suppression for the new metal rock represented by Glory to Death. Now, it's really funny to be glorious to death but upset to win the award for Best Rock Album.
However, the so-called upset is for the Grammys, and for the audience, there is absolutely no doubt about the award of "Bathing in the Morning Light"! Therefore, they gave the most sincere applause and congratulated the glory to death.
The members of the Glory to the Death returned to the side stage, this time without the excitement and excitement of winning the award before, and the five of them looked at each other with embarrassed expressions. Then they all realized that they still had a crying and laughing expression after winning the award, which was really strange, and they were relieved, and then they all chuckled.
The Grammys will be handed over to the Grammys, and Henry, as for the band, the task of the band is to focus on the music, it doesn't matter if it doesn't win an award, and if it wins, it's okay. Because they deserve it.
The 37th Grammy is gradually coming to an end in a lively, embarrassing, and fiery way, and it seems that all the qiē has been decided, but has it really been settled?
