JADI perhatian.. JADI tumpuan..??

Oh.. 2 minggu menghilang. Penat dengan kehidupan?? Leka dengan kehidupan?? Bosan?? Itulah warna kehidupan. Hitam putih kehidupan. Namun kita masih ada upaya mewarnainya dengan warna yang lebih ceria. Kita mampu mencoraknya mengikut bentuk yang kita suka.

Aku sendiri tak pasti, sejak kebelakangan ini banyak perkara yang sangsi menjadi teka-teki. Nak main teka silang kata?? Jigsaw puzzle?? Isikan tempat kosong dengan jawapan yang BETUL. Adakalanya kita terhibur.. tapi mungkin tidak.

Sama juga halnya dengan peristiwa DUA anugerah yang besar ini. Besar di mata industri, mungkin kecil pada pandangan sesetengah orang. Mungkin jika anda seorang aktivis atau penggiat seni, ataupun pemerhati dan pengikut perkembangan semasa, maka anugerah ini menjadi perhatian, menjadi tumpuan dan menjadi kayu pengukur kepada tahap keupayaan 'karya' sendiri. Sumber inspirasi...

Adakalanya ia dicedok 100% tanpa melibatkan sebarang kajian terperinci. Membuta tuli sahaja usahanya. Hasilnya, maka lahirlah karya 'ala-ala' atau lebih tepat lagi dengan istilah 'copycat'. Wujudnya istilah Michael Jackson Malaysia, Julia Roberts Malaysia, Johnny Depp Malaysia, Norah Jones Malaysia, Beyonce Malaysia, dan macam-macam lagi termasuk Miley Cyrus Malaysia.. walaupun... lagu sebijik Avril Lavigne. Haha.

Anugerah Industri Muzik Malaysia (AIM) diinspirasikan daripada Anugerah Grammy yang mengiktiraf karya muzik. Kalau di sebelah sana(Hollywood) ada Anugerah Oscar, maka di sebelah sini(Malaysia), anugerah ala-ala Oscaranya ialah Festival Filem Malaysia yang mengiktiraf karya perfileman. Anugerah Golden Globe pula ala-ala Anugerah Skrin. Eh, silap! Anugerah Skrin itu ala-ala Anugerah Golden Globe! Baru betul.

Nampak sangat hala tuju industri berkiblatkan Hollywood. Sejauh mana tahap peningkatan mutu, atau penambahbaikan yang berkembang?? Tepuk dada, tanya selera. Sekurang-kurangnya kewujudan anugerah ini mengiktiraf mereka yang TERBAIK, yang mempertaruhkan BAKAT, yang dinilai oleh JURI. Bukan sekadar mempertaruhkan RUPA, dan mendambakan POPULAR semata-mata, walaupun itulah yang dimahukan PEMINAT.

Jom kita lihat antara pemenang Anugerah Grammy baru-baru ini yang telah didominasi oleh Beyonce, Taylor Swift dan Lady Gaga. (p/s: ada ulasan mengatakan Anugerah Grammy mengejar rating, maka pemenangnya yang popular saja. Benarkah??)
