At the just-concluded 71st Primetime Emmy Awards Ceremony, the organizers made a big fuss. During the night's "Tribute to the Dead" segment, along with pop singer Halsey's "Over and Over", the remains of film and television celebrities who died last year were played on the stage. However, sharp-eyed netizens discovered that the remains of the composer who died this year were Home Andre Previn is not accompanied by a photo of himself. Organizers somehow found a photo of another composer, Leonard Slatkin, and posted it on Previn. To make matters worse, Slatkin was still alive. Somehow he became the "dead man". Unlucky even thinking about it.
On September 22, local time, Leonard Slatkin wrote on social media: "I also saw the Emmy Award's own goal, which is really unfair to Andre . I was the host when he received the Kennedy Center Honors and told a few little stories about him. Maybe he was just getting back at me this time."
R.I.P. , the organizer of the Emmy Awards quickly expressed its sincere apology for the Wulong incident and assured that the photos in the "Death" column on its official website would soon be adjusted to prevent Andre Previn from being forced to change his face.
Previn died in New York on February 28 at the age of 89. He was born in Berlin, Germany, and immigrated to the United States with his family to avoid Nazi persecution of the Jews. In classical music, he has been the soundtrack to films such as Gigi and My Fair Lady. He has won four Academy Awards overall and has served as live band conductor for several Oscars. In the field of television, he has also hosted British and American classical music promotion programs many times, which is deeply loved by the audience. Previn had five marriages in his life, including his own and the adoption of ten children, including Song Yi, a Korean orphan adopted by his third wife, Mia Farrow, who was Woody Allen (woody allen) the director's wife.
Leonard Slatkin, who like Previn was Jewish but had little contact with the film and television industry, was struck by this pattern. He spent most of his time as music director and conductor of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. In recent years, he has also participated in the recording of some soundtracks for the American drama "Mozart in the Jungle".
In addition, the ratings of this year's Emmy Awards for such a Wulong incident dropped sharply again. After experiencing the lowest ratings in Emmy Awards history last year, the bottom line was once again refreshed. Only 6.9 million people watched Fox's live broadcast that night, 32% less than NBC's 10.21 million people last year. Last year's awards show was moved from Sunday night's prime time slot to Monday night because of the NFL's "crash" with NBC's live broadcast of the game. According to tradition, this year it is Fox's turn to broadcast the Emmy Awards. They didn't think about the football game and scheduled the awards ceremony for Sunday night. As a result, their ratings lost to NBC's live Sunday football games. Meanwhile, 6.9 million Americans watched the Emmys, 18.59 million watched football, and even CBS' Big Brother reality show. The reality show had 4.96 million viewers.
