"Single of the Year was 'sunnycamehome'! Sean Carvin from Canada."
The entire huge Madison Square Garden immediately fell into a round of applause, and Wayne, like everyone else, gave his own applause to the award-winning singer, even though he didn't know the female singer and didn't seem to have heard of it. each other's songs.
"Your outfit today is so cool."
Will Smith, who was sitting on Wayne's side, didn't care about the award-winning singer at all. From the moment he sat down, he kept muttering about his outfit. "bro, don't worry, I bet the Grammy organizers will definitely give you a gramophone. Their bottom line has always been much lower than Oscar's..."
"Hey, man, can you be quiet for a while?"
Wayne glanced at Will Smith next to him with a headache. This guy changed positions with Nina after the ceremony officially started, and then started chattering about his and George's clothes, complaining about the lower limit of the Grammys. .
And this black star seems to be influenced by the environment, and the way he speaks is like rap.
"Ok."
Will-Smith nodded angrily, and found that the camera was turned around, the expression on his face immediately changed to a smile, and he waved at the camera.
The direction that Wayne and George Lucas were in was frequently visited by cameras today. No way, who made the two of them appear so special on this occasion.
Performances are interspersed on the stage from time to time, and this year's performance lineup is also luxurious. When Bob Dylan won the best album of the year award for his album "timeoutofmind", the Wallflowers led by his son Jacob, a band. The song "oneheadlight" also became this year's best rock song of the year.
Another singer from Canada, Sarah McLachlan, won the Best Female Pop Vocalist award for "buildingamystery". Later, Elton John from the United Kingdom won the Best Male Singer Award on the stage with a tribute to Princess Diana's "candle in the wind 1997".
"The Rookie of the Year nominees include Paula Cole, Wayne Greenberg and George Lucas..."
Hearing the presenters on the stage, after opening the small envelope and reading their name into the microphone, Wayne and George Lucas looked at each other and made a look of anticipation together. Also filming the performance of the two.
Will-Smith patted him on the back covertly, looking at the center of the stage with the same eyes, but whispered: "This is the award you are most likely to win, and the other awards will be given to you. Causes a huge debate, only this one won't."
Nodding slightly, Wayne signaled that he was clear. Today's award ceremony gave him a completely different feeling than Oscar. If the biggest feeling is that it is tiring.
The entire Grammy Awards ceremony, the frequency and number of awards, is much more than the Oscar ceremony, and people need to stand up and applaud frequently. After just sitting down, I stood up and applauded again after a while, but the people who were arranged in the front row were still being filmed by the camera, and there was no way to be lazy unless you wanted your embarrassment to be broadcast live.
Similar to the Oscars, when the presenter announces the nominees, the cameras chase the nominees. The audience sitting in front of the TV saw almost all the nominees who were polite and always present.
Whether the winner is himself or not, the loser will also give generous applause. For example, people who show annoyance and anger when they learn that they have not won an award are usually the laughing stock of public discussions. In this situation where everyone is self-proclaimed as a social elite, no big star is willing to become a chatter after a meal.
Unless there are some unexpected situations, some organizers will give some hints to the nominees in advance. In this regard, the most famous one should be Black Light mj.
Or to say that the Grammys have always had a low bottom line. As early as ten years ago in 1988, mj was nominated for six Grammy Awards. Very obvious hint.
Later, it was proved that everything was capital fraud for money. Mj is very dedicated on the stage of the Grammys, and made a great performance, breaking the historical viewing record of the Grammys in one fell swoop, but it has missed the nominated awards time and time again.
After a long time, many of the performers who participated in the party came out and said that they saw mj crying sadly in the background. The great black light was played by the Grammys, which is a fact that many people have concluded.
Because of this, mj never participated in this North American music festival again. For many years after that, the Grammy music festival that audiences saw, there was no King of Pop at all. It wasn't until 1993, when the Grammys awarded him the Contemporary Legend Award, that the audience could see him again.
"The winners are Wayne Greenberg and George Lucas, congratulations to them."
At the Madison Square Garden scene, a burst of warm applause immediately erupted, followed by applause and occasional whistles from the back row.
An interesting thing happened at the same time. The Grammy Rookie of the Year candidate Paula Cole's face became quite stunned for a moment. The camera on the main stage was aimed at them, and her expression did not respond at all. It was seen by everyone at the scene.
Obviously, if you only look at the music-related aspects, Paula Cole is the only winner without a doubt. Whether it is the various media predictions before the awards ceremony, or the comments in the music circle, no one can compare with this one. Powerful singers are comparable.
"There should be some hints."
Will Smith shrugged and muttered in a low voice when hugging Wayne. "Congratulations, my brother, don't care what other people think, you deserve this gramophone."
"thanks."
Compared to Wayne, who has always kept a smile, George Lucas was much more excited. First, he patted his thigh loudly, stood up excitedly, and started to hug the people around him one by one.
"What did I say, man, we got that **** gramophone!"
When hugging Wayne, the Father of Star Wars patted him on the back and shouted loudly.
Under the gazes of countless people, the pair took to the stage together after hugging. Wayne bent slightly, stretched out a hand, and gestured to George Lucas to take the trophy.
"Thank you to the School of Recording Arts and Sciences of the National Academy of Sciences, and thank you for your affirmation of Wayne and me." The father of Star Wars stroked his beard happily, stood in front of the microphone with the trophy, and began to announce his award first testimonials.
"Thank you for this Grammy stage, for it is not like the Oscars of shit, and it also limits the time for the awardees to speak..."
"George!"
Wayne frowned slightly, and reminded in a low voice for the first time. The grudge between George Lucas and Oscar, or the North American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, is almost clear to everyone in the entertainment industry. Until now, the father of Star Wars is still not a member of the director's union.
His first sentence directly detonated the entire awards scene. Countless big singers, celebrities and sports stars were amused by George Lucas's words.
Many people do not know that the time for the Oscar acceptance speech is strictly controlled within 45 seconds. If it takes more than 45 seconds to finish speaking, the band below the stage will play backing music to remind the winner that it is time to finish. If you are still continuing after one minute, the accompaniment will directly overpower the voice of the winner, and there have also been examples of the microphone being silent.
Because of this relatively ruthless rule, countless award-winning stars have expressed dissatisfaction with the Oscar organizers on stage.
The most famous is the Oscar in 1968. When the best director was announced, Hitch Kirk, the world-renowned director at that time, only said one word to the audience, "thankyou! ", everyone knows, this is his way of satirizing Oscar.
Until 2001, after winning the award, the first thing Julia Roberts did on stage was to say to the band under the stage, gentlemen, please don't be in a hurry to wave the stick in your hands, because I will never stand on the stage again. Here it is.
Then there is the signature grin. This classic photo is the most popular photo of Big Mouth Zhu.
The fact is that no matter how many years have passed, no matter how many superstars have expressed dissatisfaction, the North American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has never tried to change its approach. This 45-second rule has been used to this day. Therefore, Oscar's conservative It is everywhere, and it never changes, even if it has been criticized by countless people.
"I remember a long time ago, I was invited by Steven Spielberg to go back to the University of Southern California to attend an alumni party..."
After the joke that could be called dirty water, George Lucas returned to the topic with a smile, facing the audience, and said into the microphone: "We were hanging out in the school at that time and saw Wayne who also came to the party, Being surrounded by a group of students, he was holding Ji and singing an original song.
After he finished singing, he received unanimous praise from the audience at the scene. At that time, I casually joked, hey, man, one day you are coming up with a song, we will form a group, UU reading www.uukanshu. How about going to the Grammys together? "
Speaking of this, Father of Star Wars tilted his head to look at his partner and blinked, his action caused another burst of laughter from the scene.
"A casual joke, no one thought that it would become a reality after a long time in the past." When people's laughter stopped, he shrugged and continued:
"I was busy working on the new Star Wars, and suddenly I got a call from this genius next to me, and he came up and said to me, hey man, I need your help to fulfill a child's dream, and by the way we a previous agreement.
That's the way it is, you should have all seen that short documentary. It only took us a week to prepare, and while helping that kid become "Batman", we also recorded "something just like this" that everyone heard. "
"Boom!"
When it came to the documentary about Little Batman Chong Ah, the crowd applauded again. No matter what everyone was like in private, at least in public, no one could ignore the scene that touched the whole of North America. Especially with regard to children, this is the moral bottom line that the entire North American society has been trying to maintain.
"Well, George has already said everything I want to say."
When Wayne stood in front of the microphone, he spread his hands to the audience. "I want to thank the Grammys again for the recognition and the judges who voted for us. That's it, thank you."
