Seriously? OMG! WTF?

SAG

“We are extremely disappointed to hear of the conflicting date, March 14th, announced today for this year’s Grammy Awards telecast. We announced the same date for the SAG Awards last July with the intent to give the greatest possible scheduling consideration for other awards shows. We expect the same consideration from sister organizations throughout the industry.

“The SAG Awards recognizes outstanding acting performances over the past year. We will again put on a spectacular show that accomplishes that mission. Our two organizations, SAG-AFTRA and the Recording Academy share members and work together effectively to advocate for artists in many areas. In an environment that is increasingly challenging for televised awards programs, we also have a mutual interest in successfully showcasing the artistry and talent of our respective memberships. We are in contact with the Recording Academy and will continue to work with our sister organizations to find ways to make this year’s awards season as successful as possible.”

I don’t blame SAG. Even though one is for music and the other is for acting, they will still have conflicts. But then again, I hate award shows, so let them battle it out.

The Grammys were supposed to take place on January 31st in Los Angeles, but they have been postponed because COVID-19 is so rampant in the city. Therefore, CBS and the Recording Academy have decided for everyone’s safety; it is best to wait. Variety is reporting that they might move it to March.

Personally, I know they want to hold it, but I think they can skip a year. Make it even bigger in 2022. If we make it to 2022.

I wonder if the other award shows will also postpone their big nights. They should.

UPDATE: The Grammys have officially been postponed.

Here is the statement from the Grammys and CBS, “After thoughtful conversations with health experts, our host and artists scheduled to appear, we are rescheduling ‘The 63rd Annual GRAMMY Awards®’ to be broadcast Sunday, March 14, 2021. The deteriorating COVID situation in Los Angeles, with hospital services being overwhelmed, ICUs having reached capacity, and new guidance from state and local governments have all led us to conclude that postponing our show was the right thing to do. Nothing is more important than the health and safety of those in our music community and the hundreds of people who work tirelessly on producing the show.”

The Weeknd spent today with the Blinding Lights on him, expecting for his name to be called during the Grammy nominations. However, his smile turned into a frown when he didn’t get any noms.

“The Grammys remain corrupt,” the singer said. “You owe me, my fans and the industry transparency.”

Personally, I think he is completely overrated, and he needs to get over himself. After all, he might be taught a lesson in the very near future. That is because CBS airs the Grammys and the upcoming Super Bowl. They might not like his Instagram message and fire him the football game’s halftime show. I am sure the execs at CBS are not going to be happy with his statement.

Seriously, why does he deserve a Grammy over other people who didn’t get noms? There are so many artists and only so many categories. He just didn’t make the cut.

Awards season is going to look a lot different in 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic. The Tonys and the Grammys do not have a set night yet, the Oscars moved from February 28th to April 25th, and now the Golden Globes has a new date. It is going to be on Oscars’ old night.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association confirmed that Tina Few and Amy Poehler are still hosting the big night. If they will be doing it in front of a live studio audience, that is still an unknown. But who cares TinAmy are back where they belong.

Now that we have just enjoyed the American Music Awards (AMAs), we thought it would be a good time to rank some of the best awards shows. Most people love tuning into awards shows because there is something magical about them. Especially if there is someone or something you are rooting for to win an award.

If nothing else, awards shows provide another form of entertainment. We have Spotify, Netflix, NY online poker, YouTube, social media, and plenty to distract us. Still, when a good awards show is on the TV, we all stop what we’re doing and watch. It’s something about the glitz and glamor that attracts us, while seeing people be rewarded for success is also oddly intoxicating.

Of course, awards shows were not created equal and some are better and more prestigious than others. With that in mind, here’s our list of the best awards show.

5. The Golden Globes

While often compared unfavorably with the Oscars, The Golden Globes is an excellent ceremony in its own right. Bestowed by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the Globes have been awarded since 1944. They recognize excellence in both movie and television and provide plenty of unique awards viewing. The allowance of booze and a more relaxed attitude make the Golden Globes a more dangerous alternative to the Oscars.

4. The Grammys

While the Grammys are known as the Oscars of the music world, a Grammy is arguably the most coveted award in the recording industry. However, the show has increasingly lost credibility in recent years thanks to poor award choices. Still, if you want the most formal and glitzy music awards ceremony, the Grammys is still a good place to start.

3. The Emmys

An Emmy award is the most important accolade in the television industry, mimicking the Oscar for movies, Grammy for music, and Tony for theater. Presented by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (ATAS), the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS), and the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (IATAS), the show his hugely glamorous and usually has funny hosts willing to roast the typically outgoing TV industry.

2. American Music Awards (AMAs)

While the Grammys may have once been the most coveted music award, in recent years the AMAs have become more important. Not least because the often-stifling formality of the Grammys is absent in the more laid-back AMAs. One of the things that sets the AMAs apart from any other ceremony on this list is that awards are decided by fan votes. Artists value AMA wins because they know the victory came from people who buy music.

1.       The Academy Awards

Of course, no list of award shows would be complete without The Academy Awards, also known as the Oscars. Comfortable the most famous awards ceremony in the world, the Oscars is an event that defines the movie industry. Everyone wants to win an Oscar and it is the pinnacle award in the entertainment industry. No ceremony has the pageantry of The Academy Awards, from the glamor of the red carpet to the anticipation of the show.
