“Butterfly” wasn’t going to edge out anyone in the Lilith Fair-heavy lineup. That category was a pure set up to reward something from that fest. “Honey” (as great of a single it was) wasn’t better than “On & On.” C’mon, now! I think they could have easily given Mariah Pop Collaboration and/or Pop Album in 1996, at least. I suspect there was some vote-splitting in Pop Collaboration and Joni Mitchell’s veteran status edged everyone else there. “Fantasy” was THE jam, but “No More ‘I Love You’s” was a good win in Pop Female. “I Apologize” was a great win in R&B Female; “Always Be My Baby” wasn’t even a single at that point, so it did well by getting in before its popularity. Her GF losses were fine by me. I feel like we have this discussion every year. lol
I suspect they really ganged-up One Sweet Day on that category. How can it ignored despite the GF nomination? It’s the most surefire category for MC/B2M to win but lost.

I Can’t Make You Love Me was probably not submitted for any Grammy considerations for the year 1991.
ReplyMay 24, 2023 at 8:15 pm #1205440384I wonder if this was before a screening committee. “Get Ur Freak On” by Missy Elliott was also nominated in R&B Song too.
Best Rap Song was inaugurated in 2004. Before 2004 all Rap singles/tracks were submitted in Best R&B Song category. I think the first nominee and winner was “U Can’t Touch This” by MC Hammer.

I think Tina was ready for this but still can’t believe she’s gone considering her contemporaries are still active. Somehow binging in YT is the best way to commemorate her artistry. Rest easy, Tina!
ReplyMay 24, 2023 at 1:04 pm #1205440008I read Whitney was pissed The Preacher’s Wife was submitted and nominated in R&B field than in Gospel field. She didn’t attend the Grammys that year.
Mariah has no prayer that year. The other nominees were strong and had massive support especially in GF. And I agree about Chaka’s Summertime inclusion considering how popular the other nominees is.

Keira KnightleyMarch 12, 2023 at 1:53 pm #1205344779I knew Harrison Ford was presenting best picture. You don’t bring an old legend like him out for anything else. Bet he gets an honorary Oscar soon
This is his 3rd right? I recall he presented Best Picture to Schindler’s List and Shakespeare in Love.
March 7, 2023 at 3:14 pm #1205336798Is Joanne Woodward the Best Actress winner who won the longest ago who is still alive? She won in 1958. I think everyone from earlier than her win is deceased? If she is well enough how about her as a presenter?
I read she has dementia.
March 6, 2023 at 11:22 am #1205334939Finally completed watching the Best Supporting Actress nominated films. My ranking:
1. Kerry Condon in The Banshees of Inisherin
2. Hong Chau in The Whale
3. Stephanie Hsu in Everything Everywhere All at Once
4. Jamie Lee Curtis in Everything Everywhere All at Once
5. Angela Bassett in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Angela was good but I don’t think that was an Oscar calibre performance and I don’t think she was the best supporting performer of BP:WF. I’m more invested to Tenoch Huerta’s performance than Angela’s. I hope Condon’s BAFTA win will turn into Oscar and I don’t mind if Chau or Hsu will win for as long as not Curtis or Bassett. I don’t hate their performances but I don’t think they deserve an Oscar trophy for their roles.

ReplyMarch 5, 2023 at 10:29 am #1205333136Finally completed watching the Best Supporting Actor nominated films. My ranking:
1. Key Huy Quan in Everything Everywhere All at Once
2. Barry Keoghan in The Banshees of Inisherin
3. Brendan Gleeson in The Banshees of Inisherin
4. Judd Hirsch in The Fabelmans
5. Brian Tyree Henry in Causeway
No doubt Quan is the Best Supporting performer of 2022 (male or female). I like that he didn’t tried to eclipse Michelle Yeoh but still shines. A real mvp. He balanced the comedy, action and subtlety of his role.Why are you reporting this post? (optional):Not now
