They should take notes from the BET Awards. One host getting creative with a green screen and all the artists coming up with creative performances because they arenβt confined to a stage. They donβt televise 95% of the awards given out anyway. Dumb! They still hold the best award show from last year, and I wasnβt looking forward to it.

They donβt televise 95% of the awards given out anyway. Dumb! To be fair itβs not 95% itβs actually 89% π But agreed this is so stupid. I know this is financially not as beneficial for both the Academy and the artists, but they could simply present the same amount of awards, and get performances recorded and put it in a two hour time slot. It would feel less like it is dragging on (like it always feels like to me, anyway.) Covid isnβt going anyway by then, so they should just let their egos be bruised and get it over with.

Yeah... they should have just gone with a simple virtual ceremony with a few remote performances and the winners of more than the usual like seven categories announced. Take the L on this year and come back with a stronger ceremony in 2022.

Take the L on this year and come back with a stronger ceremony in 2022. It kinda says something when you consider that the pandemic actually gave them an opportunity to let time pass and move past the bad press from last year. And they still manage to blunder it every step of the way.

Yeah at this point it's pretty clear things will still be a mess until late summer at the earliest.

I really hope Coldplay will win AOTY, it's a masterpiece. If they don't, i'll be happy with Dua or Taylor winning it.

I'm new to the forum, so not sure if this has been mentioned in the previous pages, but, by my count, black male artists have been nominated for the Best Pop Vocal Album a grand total of FOUR times in the 25+ years of the award. And black women have not fared much better.
What an absurd charade this whole thing is. They look at you and decide what genre your music is. Tyler the Creator was completely right.

I just noticed Bill Withers has won 2 R&B Song awards (and three overall) for songs where he was nominated for Pop Male in the same year for those songs.

Not Bebe dragging around those RIAA certifications around her house as some kind of validation (and that song was not that good, sis, don't let sales get into your head).
Then again it's the only time she's even been close to the conversation about potential nominees so.

An alleged schedule featuring perfomers and presenters has been leaked. This is very likely to be fake, but I thought it would be fun to share it out of speculation. I'm intrigued by the potential line-up for the tribute to Mary Wilson, not gonna lie. And while the performers' list seems a bit tailor-made to please the stans, it is very likely the majority of these will be performing. However, a red flag: last year, we know 5 out of the 8 AOTY nominees were granted a solo performance slot, so I don't think they would prioritize the likes of Harry Styles and Little Big Town and only have 3 out of 8 AOTY nominees performing, especially since I believe they will want to give exposure to Black Pumas and Jacob Collier (or not, given what happened to Vampire Weekend last year).

Smells fake. Bebe just dissed the Grammys and I think Adam did the same a few years ago. Also ROSALΓA's name has a typo.

To be completely honest, Bebe is so thirsty for relevance that she would present (she's basically on every award show anyways, even when she's not nominated). I don't think the Academy on the other hand will actually invite her after she just claimed they deliver awards for people who pay them.

That is SOOOOOO fake, there's no way they can confirm the presenters yet, several weeks prior.

As I said, it is indeed most likely fake, but given how dry this thread has been, I just shared it for the sake of speculation.
Having Big Sean announcing JhenΓ© Aiko's performance would be such a cute moment, though. π₯°

I am watching only if:
Adele kicks off her new era Gaga performs (she's probably filming in Italy so unlikely) Phoebe Bridgers performs - this is probably happening but it is going to be on Youtube so not gonna watch the whole ceremony
Potential Mary Wilson tribute could be interesting.

Clive Davis diagnosed with Bellβs palsy, postpones Grammys bash By Carlos Greer February 23, 2021 | 3:28pm Clive Davis has been diagnosed with Bellβs palsy and will postpone the second half of his annual pre-Grammys party, his rep Sean Cassidy confirmed to Page Six. βHe is being treated with antibiotics and steroids and is expected to recover within six to eight weeks. He is in good spirits and looks forward to doing the second half of his pre-Grammy gala in May,β Cassidy said, adding that the record industry legend was diagnosed a week ago. Bellβs palsy is a condition that causes temporary facial paralysis. A source close to Davis told us itβs not affecting his ability to speak. βBut if he had to do a Zoom [party] with 2,000 people, having a facial tick is not going to work,β the source said. Davis, 88, planned to host two virtual galas in place of his annual live bash due to the pandemic. He held the first gala last month. Nancy Pelosi, John Legend, Diddy and Gayle King were among thousands of guests who attended the five-hour Zoom party. Cardi B., Cyndi Lauper, Megan Thee Stallion and Quincy Jones are some of the names who RSVPd for the second party on March 13. This is the first time in 45 years of hosting the event that Davis has had to postpone. βHe is obviously disappointed with the delay, but he is excited to host the second installment later this spring as it is shaping up to be as big as the first one,β his rep said. A new date for the party has not been announced yet pagesix.com/2021/02/23/clive-davis-diagnosed-with-bells-palsy-postpones-grammys-bash/

Who wants to hangout on a Zoom room for five hours lmao. I think Clive truly believes his party to be way more of a big deal than what it really is.
