Lol they *just* increased it to 8, like, 2-3 years ago. Now itβs 10 per Big 4 category? Lordy. Right? I also don't get doing this for Best New Artist. There are a lot more recordings eligible for the other 3 categories, so I get having more than 5 nominees for them. Having 10 nominees in Best New Artist is odd to me.

It's just damage control from the messes of the last handful of years. The Oscars did a similar move when The Dark Knight got snubbed an reverted a bit after two years IIRC.

Yeah I am wondering if they saw how piss poor the 8 nominees were and said "We better include the next two to help the situation."

How many of them are they verbally announcing? They usually do like 10 and then post everything online. He's already announced 5 genre awards. How long is this ceremony?

I guess they really are going to announce every category this way? We will be here until 1:00.

Not everything has to be high energy, lights and sounds. I don't know what's wrong with this format. I like it. It's pretty straight-forward and not super slow - whether we care about all these categories or not.

It's pretty straight-forward and not super slow - whether we care about all these categories or not. It's not the format for me, it's that it's taking so long. I am on my lunch break and thought I'd have time to see the nominations and then grab a quick lunch since it used to be like a 10-15 minute announcement. Instead this is going to take up my entire lunch hour.

Wow. Mariah wasn't even nominated in Spoken Word Album despite universal praise for the memoir and even more so recognition of how landmark her reading of it is.
