Anyone else see Beyonce get screwed out of Album of the Year?

If you're asking if anyone watched the Grammy Awards, then no, I didn't watch it. As for Beyonce, I don't give a crap.

 

[sm4him]

I was *going* to watch the Grammy Awards, but then I remembered something:

I couldn't care less.

I didn't watch, and what makes you say she was "screwed out of Album of the Year"?

Is that one of those "a shoo-in for the win" kind of thing?

I was going to watch, but my toenails needed a trim.

What's a 'Beyonce'?

What's a 'Beyonce'?

That's something that is farther away than the "ce".

Whether we know her or not, she is getting the "Beyonce Bounce" in this thread.

Beyonce's album was great, and literally everyone in the entire universe who follows the Grammys thought she would win.

And she like, you know, didn't.

The Grammys went with a safer choice (Beck) instead of giving the award to who really deserved it.

Beck deserved it in 2002 though, so Beyonce will win it in another 10 years or so.

I still don't care. Frankly, if she HAD won, she probably would have screwed over someone else who was more deserving but just doesn't have the same PR machine that she does. So did she get screwed? Not even close.

 

[limr30 3]

Okay, so I looked up the winners.

Sam Smith won a friggin' award for a song he plagiarized from Tom Petty?

They are calling it the Grannies, now I wish I had watched.

Not sure if serious.

That seems statistically improbable to me; do you have supporting evidence?

And she like, you know, didn't.

She "like" didn't win, as in, "She participated in an activity that was similar to not winning", or "She would like me to know she didn't win"?

The Grammys went with a safer choice (Beck) instead of giving the award to who really deserved it.

Since I assume that these awards are conferred by committee, wouldn't the fact that a person won, regardless of public opinion, mean that they were the "right" person to win?

Why wouldn't I be?

There's a website out there which takes the 24 most accurate Grammy predictors and smashes their reviews together.

Anyway, 22 of the 24 picked Beyonce to win AOTY.

She was the clear favorite and had the highest rated album of the nominees.
