知道吗?奥巴马也曾得过格莱美奖,还不止一次!

Daniel Bukszpan 2015年02月11日
第57届格莱美奖颁奖礼刚刚落幕。鲜为人知的是,美国总统奥巴马也曾获得过两次格莱美提名,而且两次拿奖。他凭借《无畏的希望:重申美国梦》和《我父亲的梦想》两本有声读物,荣获了格莱美最佳诵读专辑奖。

第57届格莱美奖颁奖礼于周日举行。流行音乐界的大小人物在此汇聚一堂,希望看到歌曲《Shake It Off》与《All About That Bass》一争高下。

无论谁在周日晚上获奖,要打赌的话,他们可能没一个具备实打实的经理人才干。

但情况确实如此吗?

在获得格莱美提名的人士当中,履历光鲜而且拥有管理经验的数不胜数。我们所说的可不只是有很大决策权的音乐界大腕,比如克里夫•戴维斯或者赫布•阿尔珀特。一些著名的管理者也曾获得提名,有几位还把奖杯抱回了家,甚至两次获奖。

The 57th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony takes place on Sunday. Everybody who’s anybody in the world of popular music will be there, eager to discover whether “Shake It Off” is indeed a finer song than “All About That Bass.”

Whoever wins on Sunday night, it’s a safe bet none of them possesses any the real-world know-how necessary to cut it in the executive world.

Or is it?

Numerous Grammy nominees have executive experience on their impressive resumes, and we’re not just talking about king-making music industry brass like Clive Davis or Herb Alpert. Several famous executives have been nominated for the statuette, and a few of them have even taken one (or two) home.

巴拉克•奥巴马

大家可能都听说过这位。2009年1月,他成为美国第44位总统。这都很正常,但他也获得过格莱美奖提名吗?没错。

奥巴马获得过两次提名,而且两次拿奖。2008年2月,他录制的有声读物《无畏的希望:重申美国梦》获得最佳诵读专辑奖。两年之前,也就是2006年,他凭借《我父亲的梦想》获得了同样的奖项。

Barack Obama

You may have heard of one Barack Obama. Since January 2009 he’s been the 44th President of the United States and leader of the free world. All fine and good, but did he ever get nominated for a Grammy? As it turns out, yes.

Obama was nominated twice and won twice. In February 2008, he won the best spoken word Grammy for the audiobook version of "The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream." This was two years after winning the same prize in 2006 for "Dreams From My Father."

吉米•卡特

作为美国第39位总统,吉米•卡特没有连任过。但说到格莱美奖提名,这位前总统、佐治亚州前州长可谓傲视群雄——1997年以来,他已至少六次获得诵读专辑奖提名。

在10年时间里,卡特似乎一直是格莱美奖颁奖典礼上的配角,从未获得过此项殊荣。但这一切在2007年发生了改变。那一年,他录制的有声读物《Our Endangered Values: America’s Moral Crisis》获得了最佳诵读专辑奖。

Jimmy Carter

As the 39th president of the United States, Jimmy Carter served only one term. But when it comes to Grammy nominations, the former chief executive of both the United States and the state of Georgia has racked 'em up, with no less than six separate spoken word nominations to his credit since 1997.

For a decade, it seemed as though he would forever be a Grammy bridesmaid, never a bride. However, that changed in 2007, when he took home the Best Spoken Word Album prize for his audiobook, “Our Endangered Values: America’s Moral Crisis.”
