Best Actor

    "The Grammys has always been the vane of American pop music, although it is sometimes paranoid and neurotic, it can award seven or eight trophies to Michael Jackson in one go, or it can be used for more than ten years. Ignore Madonna. We're used to it, the Recording Academy's unconventional approach, but after this year's nominees came out, we had to lament that they were still so out of touch.

    I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the song "YouRaiseMeUp", in fact, in the midst of that terrible disaster last year, this beautiful song did inspire many people, but the problem is that singing The Sean Tang of this song is not exactly a singer, in a sense, he is entirely an actor.

    I think the nominations for Best Gospel Song and Best Gospel Male Artist are enough, of course, Best Song might be considered, but Best Recording and Best New Artist are totally unnecessary because great singers There is much more that should be given to those who are more deserving of it. "

    This is an article in The New York Times for the latest Grammy nominees list, because on this list, unlike singers at all, the career center is in the film Above, Sean, who only has two works of "YouRaiseMeUp" and "bewhatyouwannabe", has won five nominations for Best Record, Best Song, Best New Artist, Best Gospel Song, and Best Gospel Male Singer!

    After the list was released, it caused an uproar, and most of the people in it were similar to the New York Times columnist: "YouRaiseMeUp" is a good song. , but not to the point of giving so many nominations.

    There are many Grammy awards, at least dozens of them, but most of them have little weight. Most of the awards are because the categories are detailed enough, such as pop, blues, country, gospel, etc. Each category has three or four awards as small as seven or eight awards, so if you add them up, you will get an amazing award. numbers.

    However, there are still popular music awards, but the most valuable ones are best album, best record, best song and best newcomer. As an actor, Sean is a singer who is a guest singer, but he won three nominations with one song relying on the trend of 911, which is naturally unconvincing.

    So as soon as this nomination list came out, it immediately caused a wave, and all kinds of people jumped out.

    "This is a complete child's play, even if the Recording Academy wants to be unconventional, it can't do it!" This is the musician and critic who dare to criticize the Recording Academy.

    "I know the song, I think it's a good song, I think it's better for that guy to act in a movie, he's not a singer, so don't show off." This is The man who dared not blame the Recording Academy, so he focused his fire on Sean.

    "I do have a nomination, but I don't think he's a threat, he's probably just going through the motions." This is the singer who has the same nomination, but doesn't care about Sean.

    "The Recording Academy may have its own considerations, but Sean's "YouRaiseMeUp" is really good." It's smooth, and no one wants to offend people.

    In general, the vast majority of people believe that the Recording Academy made the wrong decision and that giving Sean so many nominations is a complete denial of other singers. Although Sean's fans have supported him on the Internet, believing that he is fully qualified for the nomination, Wayne Levitt, who has a good relationship with him, also wrote a blog to support him.

    "In any case, the Recording Academy has made a decision, and since Sean has been nominated, there must be merits. However, many people do not understand or do not want to understand, they just feel, It's a disgrace for an actor to release a song and be nominated for a Grammy. But they never think about why, and they just blame the recording academy for injustice, which is a big mistake." What Werther blogs about.

    Unfortunately, the power of the Internet is still not enough to see. Levitt is somewhat famous, but he has not reached a certain height, so he is quickly drowned in the sound of saliva.

    For example, the New York Post, which focused on Sean, was really mocking: "I don't know what Sean was thinking when he declared "YouRaiseMeUp" to the Recording Academy, but it doesn't matter. Undoubtedly a stupid decision, maybe he's complacent now that he's nominated, but it's really just a foil, maybe the Recording Academy feels that these Grammys are too bland and need a little stimulation to increase the ratings."

    This is a bit vicious, but it has received unexpected responses from many people, because, in any case, the nomination list of the Recording Academy has come out, and it is impossible to change it , so instead of wasting energy and saliva, focus your goals in one place.

    So then, all kinds of unfavorable remarks came out one after another. Sean was just a runner, and being nominated was to highlight other nominees. What's more, he is just the product of the whim of the Recording Academy. If he is acquainted, he should not be ashamed of the scene when the awards ceremony will be held in February next year.

    These remarks are all over the place, although Sean has also made some efforts, saying on several talk shows that he is very grateful to the Recording Academy for his nomination, and that this is the biggest surprise in life, he I like to sing, but I never expect to win awards, etc. I even posted all these on my personal blog, but how can such offensive remarks look happy?

    But if you think that's all, it's a big mistake, and soon, just a few days before Christmas, an interview about him was published in the Los Angeles Times.

    Reporter: We all know that in the first half of the year, six films in which you played the leading role or an important supporting role were released for six consecutive months, and these films have a good reputation and box office, right?

    Sean: Yes, I was surprised when I first learned about it.

    Reporter: "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" just released should be your seventh film this year, right? There's never been a precedent for anyone putting out seven great movies in one year, can you tell me how?

    Sean: I can only say it's luck, because among the seven films, "The Perfect Thief" was supposed to be released last year, but it was delayed to this year for various reasons, and "The Fast and the Furious" It should have been produced in 2000, but due to some things, it was delayed until last year, and then it was "The Lord of the Rings" as a series. The low-budget films were gathered together, so I have the phenomenon that I have seven films released this year.

    Reporter: But no matter what, you have created a record, and it will be difficult for anyone to break it in the future.

    Sean: Yes, it makes me proud and proud, I play every role very hard, I always want to do the best I can, the performance is So, so is the production, so is the singing. Maybe sometimes in the eyes of some people, I haven't done well enough, but as long as I try my best, I don't have to regret it. I also believe that these efforts will be seen and recognized by others.

    Reporter: Can you tell me how you feel about these films and these characters?

    Sean: Of course, there are several characters, especially the two literary genre films, which impressed me deeply...

    The Los Angeles Times reporter asked more than a dozen questions, most of which revolved around an almost record-breaking seven-film release in a year. There are also other aspects involved, such as the first Oscar nomination, and the production of "My Big Greek Wedding", and the release of "YouRaiseMeUp" and "bewhatyouwannabe", etc., and then praised in the closing speech.

    "As a report once said, Sean Tang is an astonishing young man who can always do the seemingly impossible things that no one can believe. More than three years ago, he was just a newcomer, an ignorant newcomer who started to sit up as an extra. After more than three years, he is not only a well-known actor, but also a well-known producer and singer. He seems to do everything he does. If he can achieve some achievements, as an actor, needless to say, his first big screen role has been affirmed, and he is nominated for an Oscar for best actor. Although it is only an escort, it is enough to prove his ability.

    As a producer, last year's "My Big Greek Wedding" swept more than 200 million box office in North America, and set the record for the highest-grossing romantic comedy in North America's history, although Sean It's just that he is only a nominal producer, and he is mostly studying, but if he hadn't picked this script and invested in it, how could he have achieved such results.

    The same is true for "YouRaiseMeUp", we all admit that the disaster of 9/11 made this song popular, but no one can deny two facts: first, even without this disaster, "YouRaiseMeUp" still It's a great song; second, "Danny Boy" has been around as an Irish ballad for almost 100 years, but only Sean thought of turning it into a song.

    Yes, his vision is very good, and he is very good at choosing scripts, but it is undoubtedly inappropriate to attribute all these to vision. You know, he set up his own film company two years after becoming an actor, and made a lot of money by making "My Big Greek Wedding", how can he do this without a certain ability?

    Looking back on his short three-year journey, very few people have been able to achieve this level, which is dazzling everywhere, I have to say, Sean Tang is indeed a surprising person people. "

    This is the summary made by the reporter at the end of the interview.

    Therefore, when the report came out, there was an uproar in public opinion again, because this was the young actor who publicly admitted for the first time that he produced "My Big Greek Wedding" and remade "The Texas Chainsaw Murder" Crazy", which collaborated with UPN and Victoria's Secret on "America's Next Top Model", is his company.

    Look back, let alone the actors born in the 1980s, the actors born in the 70s, how many can be compared with him?
