Music Video: Rain on Me isn’t getting a nomination because it’s not a well made video. Even if it sweeps the VMA’s, they will block it.

Music Film: This category is always filled with veteran(as in 90s, 80s, 70s) acts. Doubt they would nominate both Taylor and Beyoncé. Maybe only one or neither of them. Shakira isn’t getting a nomination either.

I believe Billie Eilish is getting completely shut out this year.

Mainstream contenders:

Blinding Lights(winner) and Post Malone

Dua Lipa’s Physical would be deserving of a nom/win but this song wasn’t even a single in the US, if I’m not mistaken. It won’t be submitted and even if it was, would probably be snubbed.

I’m new to this- how often do the Grammys actually nominate and award genuinely good music videos? Like with excellent production value, cinematopgraphy, direction, design, acting/story/choreo (if applicable)? Or am I right in thinking it usually goes to an impactful/popular/successful song even if the video is nothing special?

FYC:

Best Director - Lee Isaac Chung (Minari), Darius Marder (Sound of Metal)

Lead Actor - Delroy Lindo (Da 5 Bloods), Mads Mikkelsen (Another Round), Riz Ahmed (Sound of Metal)

Supporting Actor - Paul Raci (Sound of Metal)

Supporting Actress - Youn Yuh-jung (Minari)

Taylor Swift’s The Man just won the VMA for Best Direction. Since 2010 only 1 winner of this award hasn’t been nominated for the Grammy. “Make Some Noise” by The Beastie Boys in 2011.

Does anyone know if the videos for James Blake’s “Can’t Believe the Way We Flow” and Rosalía’s “A Palé” were submitted last year? Both seem like possible contenders but I’m not sure if they’re eligible.

5th Annual Critics Choice Documentary Awards Nominees Announced.

– Beastie Boys Story is nominated for Best Music Documentary
– Taylor Swift will receive the honor for “Miss Americana” as most compelling living subjects of a documentary.

Link to see full list

“Beastie Boys Story” received 5 EMMYs noms and won Best Documentary at the Hollywood Critics Association Award. I think it’s the frontrunner for Best Music Film at the Grammys.

A Palé was released after the deadline. It could be nominated this year, but her team chose TKN for the Latin Grammys.

The Steps by Haim was directed by Paul Thomas Anderson – I think it has a good shot tbh
