"The Grammys have always been the bellwether of American pop music, although it is sometimes paranoid and neurotic, and can be a tribute to Michael? Jackson presented seven or eight trophies, and he could also ignore Madonna for more than ten years. We were used to it, used to the recording academy's unconventional approach, but after this year's nominees were released, we had to lament that they were still so out of the box.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the song "YouRaiseMeUp", in fact, during the terrible disaster last year, this beautiful song did inspire many people, but the question is, Sean, who sang this song? Don isn't exactly a singer, in a sense, he's exactly an actor.

I think the nominations for Best Gospel Song and Best Gospel Male Vocalist are enough, of course, Best Song may be considered, but Best Record and Best New Artist are completely unnecessary, because there are many great singers who should be given to those who are more worthy of giving. ”

This is an article in the "New York Times", written in response to the latest list of Grammy nominations, because on this list, Sean, who is not at all like a singer and whose career is centered on movies, only has two works, "YouRaiseMeUp" and "bewhatyouwannabe", but won five nominations for Best Record, Best Song, Best Newcomer, Best Gospel Song, and Best Gospel Male Singer!

When the list was released, there was an uproar, most of whom shared the opinion of the New York Times columnist: "YouRaiseMeUp" is a good song, but not to the point where it needs to give so many nominations.

There are many Grammy awards, at least dozens of them, but most of them don't have much weight. Most of the awards are because the categories are detailed enough, such as pop, blues, country, gospel, etc., and each category has three or four awards at a small level, and seven or eight awards at most, so if you add them up, you will get a surprising number.

However, there is still a lot of weight in the pop music category, but to say that the most gold content is the best album, best record, best song and best newcomer four awards. Sean, as an actor, is a guest singer who doesn't speak well, but he got three nominations with a song that relied on the trend of 911, which is naturally unconvincing.

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

"It's all child's play, even if the recording academy wants to be different, it can't do it!" This is the musician and critic who dares to criticize the recording academy.

"I know that song, I think it's a good song, I think it's better for that guy to go to the movie, he's not a singer, so don't show off." This is the person who did not dare to 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 a singer who has the same nomination, but doesn't give a damn about Sean.

"The recording academy may have its own considerations, but Sean's YouRaiseMeUp is really beautiful." It's sleek, and no one wants to offend anyone.

In general, the vast majority of people think that the recording academy has made a wrong decision, and giving Sean so many nominations is completely a denial of other singers. Although Sean's fans have supported him on the Internet, believing that he is fully qualified for the nomination, Vain, who has a good relationship with him? Levitt also blogged in support.

"Anyway, the Recording Academy has made a decision, and now that Sean has been nominated, there must be merit. However, many people don't understand or don't want to understand, they just feel that it is a shame for an actor to release a song and be nominated for a Grammy. But they never thought that this was weishenme, and they just blindly accused the recording academy of being unfair, which is really wrong. "That's what Levitt wrote in his blog.

It's a pity that the liliang of the Internet is still not enough to see, and Levitt has some fame, but it has not reached a certain height, so it was quickly drowned in saliva.

For example, the New York Post, which stared at Sean, really mocked: "I don't know what Sean was thinking when he declared "YouRaiseMeUp" to the Recording Academy, but it was undoubtedly a stupid decision, maybe he is now complacent about getting the nomination, but in fact it is just a foil, maybe the Recording Academy thinks these Grammys are too bland and needs a little stimulation to increase the ratings." ”

This was a bit vicious, but it unexpectedly received a response from many people, because, anyway, the list of nominees for the recording academy has come out, and it is impossible to change it, so instead of wasting energy and saliva, it is better to focus on one goal.

So then, all kinds of no-haode remarks came out, and Sean was just a chaperone, and he was nominated to highlight the other nominees. What's more, he said that he was just the product of the whim of the recording academy, and if he knew each other, he would not be embarrassed when the awards ceremony was held in February next year.

These remarks are everywhere, although Sean has also made some efforts, and said on a talk show several times that he is very grateful to the recording academy for giving him the nomination, and that this is the biggest surprise in his life, he likes to sing but has never had the luxury of winning awards, etc., and posted these on his personal blog, but how can this offensive remarks look happy?

But it would be a mistake to think that was all there was to it, and soon, just 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 movies in which you played the leading role or important supporting roles were released in six consecutive months, and these movies had a good reputation and box office, right?

Sean: yes, I was surprised when I first learned about this.

Reporter: The Just Released "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" should be your seventh film this year, right? This is the precedent for no one to release seven great films in one year, can you tell me how?

Sean: I can only say that it was luck, because of these seven movies, "Perfect Thief" was supposed to be released last year, but it was delayed to this year for various reasons, and "Fast and Furious" was supposed to be made in 00, but because of some things it was delayed until last year, and then it was "The Lord of the Rings" as a series, and one release a year was set at the beginning, plus there were two small-budget movies, which were put together, so there was the phenomenon that I had seven movies released this year.

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

Shaun: yes, it makes me proud and proud, I've worked hard to play every role, and I always want to do the best I can, acting, producing, singing. Maybe sometimes in the eyes of some people, I am not good enough, but as long as I do my best, then I don't regret it, and I believe that these efforts will be seen and recognized by others.

Reporter: Can you tell us how you feel about these movies and these characters?

Sean: Of course, there are several characters, especially the two films that are more literary and artistic, that impress me......

The Los Angeles Times reporter asked more than a dozen questions, mostly around the almost record-breaking release of seven films in one year, and the previous six releases in six months, as well as other aspects such as the first Oscar nomination, the production of "My Grand Greek Wedding," and the release of "YouRaiseMeUp" and "bewhatyouwannabe," and then lavished praise in their closing remarks.

"As one of the reports once said, Sean? Don is a surprising young man, he can always do those seemingly impossible things, no one can believe that more than three years ago he was just a newcomer to the industry, starting as an extra, and after more than three years he is not only a well-known actor, but also a very famous producer and singer. He seems to be able to make a difference in whatever he does, needless to say as an actor, his first big-screen role was affirmed, and he was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor, although it was only a companion, but it was enough to prove his ability.

As a producer, last year's "My Grand Greek Wedding" swept away more than 200 million box office in North America, and set a record for the highest-grossing aiqing comedy in North America.

The same is true for "YouRaiseMeUp", and we all admit that the 911 disaster made this song so popular, but no one can deny two facts: first, even without this disaster, "YouRaiseMeUp" is still a great song; Second, "Danny Boy" has been around as an Irish ballad for almost 100 years, but only Sean thought of adapting it into a song.

Yes, he has a good eye and is very good at picking scripts, but it is undoubtedly inappropriate to attribute all this to vision. You know, he set up his own film company two years after becoming an actor and made a lot of money by producing "My Grand Greek Wedding", how can he do this if he doesn't have a certain ability?

Looking back on his short three-year journey, few people have been able to do this, this kind of dazzling everywhere, I have to say, Sean? Don is indeed a surprising man. ”

This is the reporter's summary in an interview with Zuihou.

So, when the report came out, public opinion was in an uproar again, because this was the first time that the young actor publicly admitted that he produced "My Grand Greek Wedding", remade "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", and cooperated with UPN and Victoria's Secret in the reincarnation of "American Supermodel Competition", which is his company.

Looking back, not to mention the post-80s actors, they are the post-70s actors, how many can compare with him?
