Grammy & Grampy...
So he was right?
Portnow’s complaint?
Refuse to step down.
Of course, they've given them to the Clintons as well as Milli Vanilli.
Over the past thirty years, I’ve yet to watch a single minute of the show. I suspect when you get down to working-class Americans, above the age of thirty...it’s less than 2-percent of the population that watches it or cares. Maybe the 14-to-21 year old group has one-third of the audience, but it’s simply a fake show where they can party-up for one evening and get face-time with the audience.
I, too, hate awards shows. The last time I watched one was the year Cindy Walker was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. That was such a wonderful experience, but nothing since then.
I know they will always gripe about a lot of things, but - one of the main complaints this year was about a category with four female nominees and one male. So now put on your thinking caps: Remember that at any awards show, there isn’t anyone hiding there to deny anyone anything. You always hear about “so and so being snubbed” - no one is ever snubbed. They vote. There are many variables. But think of this - that category with four female nominees and one male, and the male won. Now if the voters were all inclined to vote politics instead of “Best performance” as the category reads - you have four artists splitting that vote. So, naturally, what happens? The other guy wins.
