I'm well aware of the many mistakes the Academy Awards has made over the years (Gladiator over Wo Hu Cang Long being the most painful for me) but they are overall respectable at least. The Hurt Locker smear campaign was the work of ONE of the 3 producers and he was punished.

I like how unpredictable the Oscars can be and even though they fail to recognize some truly great cinema sometimes they do bring to light some under the radar gems (Hurt Locker is the lowest grossing best picture winner to date).

It was not much of a punishment. He was simply not invited to the ceremony. If he had been disqualified, now that would've been an appropriate punishment. An even better one would've been disualifying the whole movie, as the campaign went into effect and influenced people's decisions.

The Oscars have went the opposite route of the Grammys: they award small indie movies that no one watches, that are pretentious, and seem important because they're about major "issues" even though they can be of poor quality (Crash, The Reader), while ignoring mainstream movies, even if those movies are very good (Star Wars, E.T., Avatar etc.). At least the Grammys are less predictable though. My fav awards show last Year in terms of winners was the Emmys, Mad Men and Modern Family FTW!). The Grammys had OK winners (though I hate Taylor Swift), and the Oscars were simply terrible and predictable. I wasn't impressed with The Hurt Locker, and found it to be the standard war movie that wins a Best Picture Oscar (not to mention that I was simply disgusted by the fact that they nominated it for it's non existent score, and gave it the sound Oscars over Avatar, and the screenplay Oscar for it's terrible terrible screenplay, instead of Inglorious Basterds ).

As awards season starts the Grammy's announce their nominations.

Eminem leads the pack with 10 nominations. Lady GaGa got some nominations too.

The biggest shocker in my opinion is Katy Perry getting nominated for Album of the Year for the critically panned Teenage Dream. And while it was not a surprise, I'm pretty sad that Justin Bieber made it in for Best New Artist.

Here are the nominees in the General Field:

Record of the Year

Nothin' on You by B.o.B. featuring Bruno Mars

Love the Way You Lie by Eminem featuring Rihanna

F**k You by Cee Lo Green

Empire State of Mind by Jay-Z & Alicia Keys

Need You Now by Lady Antebellum

Album of the Year

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire

Recovery by Eminem

Need You Now by Lady Antebellum

The Fame Monster by Lady GaGa

Teenage Dream by Katy Perry

Song of the Year

Beg, Steal or Borrow by Ray LaMontagne and The Pariah Dogs

F**k You by Cee Lo Green

The House That Built Me by Miranda Lambert

Love the Way You Lie by Eminem featuring Rihanna

Need You Now by Lady Antebellum

Best New Artist

Justin Bieber

Drake

Florence & The Machine

Mumford & Sons

Esperanza Spalding

 

Full list of nominees: http://www.grammy.com/nominees

 

So what do you think? Were your favorites nominated? Who do you think will win? Do you think Katy Perry got in thanks to her boobs?


Congratulations to the bolded ones. Funny thing tho, both Florence & The Machine and Mumford & Sons were 'new' last year, and the song Little Lion Man was Triple J Hottest song of 2009. -.-

The Grammy's and the Oscars also, are a joke. Full of mediocrity and banality. They are dehumanising concepts.



Think for yourself, question authority

Ok let me clarify my statement.

Justin bieber, lady gaga, jay-z and what have you are nominated for the 'most prestigieuse' music award in the world.

This is merely a markteting ploy for big corporations. The grammy's nor the Oscars have anything to do with good music or movies.

Grammys are the most worthless awards (if you can even call it that). Its basically a popularity show of really shitty "talent"


I consider VMA's, VGA's and Teen Choice Award...to be the incredibly much worse than the Grammys. Actually based on this years MTV Movie awards...I would add that in as well. 

I don't recognize those as awards in the slightest sense. The Grammys at least have history behind it. Those other thigns are just media masturbation.


EVERY award is just media mastrubation.  Ask anyone who previously voted for the Oscars or the TV award who's name slips my mind.

According to the Grammy site:

Record of the Year: Award to the Artist and to the Producer(s), Recording Engineer(s) and/or Mixer(s), if other than the artist. (In other words the award the people who recorded a song)

Song of the Year: A Songwriter(s) Award. A song is eligible if it was first released or if it first achieved prominence during the Eligibility Year. (Artist names appear in parentheses.) Singles or Tracks only. (In other words they award the person who wrote the song)

 

Remakes of older songs are eligible for Record of the Year (For example Whitney Huston won for I Will Always Love You, but the song was initially relelased by Dolly Parton some years back). Only new songs are eligible for Song of the Year (and they can't contain elements taken from other songs, hence why Empire State of Mind wasn't eligible for Song of the Year).
