After a fierce dispute, the Grammy Awards ceremony finally made a decision. Glory to death is alternative music, but it does not participate in the competition for the rock department.

In the end, "Almost Fame" who was honored to death was nominated for the Best Alternative Music Album, and the band also relied on the outstanding performance of this album to be nominated for the Best Newcomer of the Year. Although there were only these two nominations, they were all very important. It can be seen that the Grammy still valued glory to death.

At the Grammy Awards ceremony, there are several major music style departments, pop department, rock department, dance music department, rhythm and blues department, hip-hop department, country department, etc. Among them, alternative music is also a separate department. Although the media generally believes that it is affiliated with the branch under rock, it is actually not the case. This is a parallel style category, which is also the reason why the so-called "alternative" causes such controversy. However, there is only one award in the alternative music department, that is, the Best Alternative Music Album Award, which has caused misunderstandings in many media.

In addition to major departments, Grammys also has four comprehensive awards, namely the Best Album of the Year, Best Production of the Year, Best Single of the Year, and Best Newcomer of the Year. These four awards are also the most important and most attention-oriented, and can be regarded as the annual summary awards of Grammys every year.

Glory to death can be nominated for the best alternative music album and the best newcomer of the year, which shows how much Grammy value them.

But this nomination is not accepted by Glory to Death. Look at the other four nominations for the Best Alternative Music Album, namely U2 Band, Nirvana Band, Blinking Eye Band, and Break Pumpkin Band. Among these five nomination bands, only Glory to Death and Break Pumpkin Band can be regarded as real alternative music.

If Nirvana's grunge can be fooled by "This is just a new music genre that rose in 1991", then it is completely unreasonable that the two bands, U2 and the Blink Band, have been playing in the music scene for more than ten years and have already tear off the so-called "alternative" label and become the backbone of the rock market.

Moreover, the music of the u2 band and the fast-blinking band is not only recognized by the market for album sales, but their music styles have also merged with the entire rock trend and gradually become commercialized in the market, so it is not valid from any perspective to call them "alternative".

What does this mean? It shows that Grammys still did not understand the definition of "alternative", which means that they did not recognize the contribution and achievements of Glory to Death and the Broken Pumpkins in the music market in 1993, which can definitely be said to be an insult.

And interestingly, the Broken Pumpkin Band was nominated for Best Hard Rock Performance, the Blink Eyeball Band was nominated for Best Popular Singing and Performance Award, and the U2 Band was nominated for Best Rock Song, which is even more ironic. "Alternative Music" is considered a popular market by Grammys, and the rock department was nominated. This contradictory behavior is only Grammys thinks it is "normal".

As for the nomination list of the best newcomer of the year, it is another joke for the Grammy. Alternative rock, grunge-style independent band blind melon (blind.melon), gospel group bel canto girl (swv), alternative rock band courage band (belly) rhythm and blues strong newcomer Donnie Blyston, and finally the alternative rock band glory to death. These five groups of singers formed the nomination list of the best newcomer of the year.

Among them, Glory Band and Blind Melon Band are representative figures of alternative music. This is obviously acknowledging that the American music market in 1993 was different because of the existence of alternative rock. However, in the list of the best alternative music albums, mainstream bands such as u2 were selected. On the blink of an eye, Nirvana could not even fill the five nomination seats, which was definitely the pinnacle of "left and left-right fighting technique".

As the team members who have been honored to death said, if the Grammy itself cannot distinguish the criteria for judging "alternatives", then what is the significance of this nomination? Even if you win the award, there is no authority!

Of course, this is just a view of the alternative music department. This shows that Grammy's struggle and hesitation in finding a balance between commerciality and artisticity completely exploded after more than ten years of brewing.

As of now, it is definitely worthy of the reason why Grammys can be called authoritative. In other mainstream departments except for alternative music, all nominations once again demonstrate the strong appeal and authority of Grammys. Whitney Houston's "Body Guard" movie soundtrack is undoubtedly the biggest winner in the nomination stage. The nominations for heavyweight awards such as Best Album of the Year, Best Production of the Year, Best Pop Female Singer, etc. have pushed the queen's career to a whole new height.

As for the rock department, Smith Spaceship has won nominations for awards such as Best Rock Song, Best Rock Album, Best Rock Band, and Best Rock Music Performance, which is still a treasure. On the contrary, Nirvana Band, which has been booming in the US market in the past two years, the Pearl Sauce Band has not been able to open the heart of the conservative judges of the Grammy. Old rock forces such as Sting (S-super), Bob Dylan, and Ac/DC are still the Grammy darlings, which coincides with the chaos and struggles of the alternative music department.

Putting aside the professional debate, just saying that Grammy gave two important nominations to Glory to Death, it can be seen that Grammy is still very concerned about the turbulent rock music in 1993. Although they did not greatly commend a large number of alternative rock forces, they still can observe that Grammy’s “keep up with the times” by commending the Glory to Death and the Broken Pumpkin Band as examples.

Glory until death at Grammy was nominated for the Best Newcomer of the Year, and Hugo won his second double acting nomination at the Golden Globe Awards. This was the new peak of Hugo's glory in 1993. When the nomination list for the Grammy and Golden Globes really appeared, Hugo's momentum reached its peak.

However, Hugo did not have the heart to care about these nomination lists at this time. He had to spend more energy on the shooting of "Pu Novels". Now the shooting of "Pu Novels" has entered the second half. Almost every day, the crew's scenes are very compact. They start to shoot at dawn and finish work before dark. The whole rhythm is maintained very well, so he must devote himself to ensure that he will not delay the crew's progress.

It must be admitted that "Pulp Novel" is the easiest drama that Hugo has ever filmed. It is not a problem with the theme of the movie, but a reason for his acting skills. In this role performance, Hugo's self-control occupies a larger part, while Vincent's role only occupies a small part, so Hugo is very comfortable in and out of the play, and the burden on his shoulders is relatively relaxed.

However, this does not mean that Hugo was not devoted enough to perform. On the contrary, Hugo injected many of his own characteristics into the character Vincent, at least it is far from the John Travofta version in his mind. This is just a difference in the performance method.

After the three works of "Yihai Heroes", "Seattle Sleeping at Night", and "Schindler's List" are deeply troubled by one more than the other. Now Hugo is working in another extreme direction. When one day Hugo can accurately grasp the balance between himself and the character, his acting skills will be further improved.

After a whole day of filming, Samora drove a car to escort Hugo home. He asked curiously, "Hugo, isn't the band really attending the Grammy Awards?"

Hugo sat in his seat and rubbed his somewhat stiff shoulders, "It should be right, we talked briefly on the phone, reached a preliminary consensus, and decided not to attend." Although Grammy finally "rejusted" the name of the band for glory to death, nominated the band for the best alternative music album, and nominated for the best newcomer of the year, Hugo still believed that the vague definition of Grammy was a kind of contempt for the band style, and he did not think that the band needed to appear in such a party.

In fact, Honor has always been like this until his death. From the initial road tour to the later Junjie Music Festival, Honor has always adhered to its own rock spirit until his death, so there is no need for them to compromise for the Grammy.

"However, we will definitely meet the specific situation once, let's discuss it again." Hugo said casually, and he just heard about Neil, Alfonso and Pedro's situation. The band must discuss it face to face. He estimated that Henry would also attend and make the final decision. However, from Hugo's perspective, there is nothing worth discussing.

Samora was amazed while driving, "I guess Grammys will definitely regret it if they find out."

Hugo laughed, "No, they definitely won't. There are countless people who want to participate in the Grammy. It's nothing to lack one of our bands. Look, even if the Nirvana Band never attended the Grammy, they didn't see any regrets about the Grammy."

"But if you miss this time, you will never be able to compete for the Best Newcomer of the Year award again. Wouldn't you be sorry?" Samora asked curiously.

Hugo curled his lips, "It's definitely fake to say no regrets. That day Pepe told me that if he wins the New Year's Best New Year, he would smash the bass on the stage. I also imagined that if he wins the New Year's Best New Year, he would definitely be so excited that he couldn't speak. But... you know, some things can be done, some things can't, and some things are disdainful. People must have principles."

Samora could hear his regret from Hugo's voice, but Hugo still insisted on his principles unmoved. This is not surprising, because whether it is "glory to death" or the dazzling agent battles, including the endless movie invitations, Hugo has demonstrated his persistence and principles. But even so, Samora couldn't help but admire and amaze again. Facing such temptations as Grammys, not everyone can remain calm.
