I don’t think Carly Rae Jepsen will be nominated. NARAS completely passed her over for her critically acclaimed album E•MO•TION. She didn’t even get a BNA nomination the year Call Me Maybewas released. NARAS is just not too hot on CRJ.

“Maybe I’m Crazy” – Dead to Me

I really do hope Dead to Me gets in to Comedy series. Great show. I think it can get in with Atlanta and Curb not being in the running. Also they can drop GLOW or Kimmy Schmidt.

I think it’s bad move to Cardellini for Lead Actress. She should have been submitted to Supporting Actress. Maximize nominations and not have her compete with Applegate,…[Read more]

Ari is still the frontrunner for BPVA. P!nk has no chance. She’ll just get her usual nomination. Taylor is her only real competition with Billie Eilish being the spoiler.

Finished it yesterday. Great show with fantastic performances. Applegate and Cardellini absolutely deserve some Emmy love.

It’s a comedy, a dark comedy, but still a comedy.

I would say she is a hard lock for an Album of the Year nomination at this point.

I mean, I predicted it all the way back in June last year.

Ariana Grande will likely be the first back to back BPVA winner come January.

I can’t see Anderson .Paak getting into AOTY. To get into AOTY, rap albums need a big commercial impact or massive critical acclaim, usually both. He barely won his Grammy in a tie. He’ll be relegated to the rap field if anything.

Old Town Road will be #1 on Billboard next week. With it’s crossover appeal with Country and Rap fans (and voters), I’d say it’s a strong contender for a Record of the Year nomination.

Billie is a lock for a nomination and She possibly is the frontrunner to win it.

I can’t see the committee putting Old Town Road in Country even with BRC. It’ll be put in Rap/Sung.

Watch out for Dean Lewis. I can see him snagging nods in Pop Solo, SOTY (for Be Alright) and Best New Artist.

I don’t think ASIB will get an AOTY nomination. It will be largely forgotten about by this year’s nominations. I think it would have surely gotten in had it been released last eligibility period.

They already received backlash for putting Get Out in comedy and Us is even less comedic than Get Out. Some jokes here and there does not make it a comedy film.

That being said, I don’t think Us will get the same awards love that Get Out got. At the Oscars, I think it’ll only get Best Screenplay and Best Actress nods.

Ari will likely submit Thank u, Next to SOTY and ROTY, submit 7 Rings or BUWYGIB to Pop Solo.

If Billie Eilish is still eligible for Best New Artist, I could see here getting in.

I think J. Cole’s Middle Child is nearly a lock for Rap Song and Performance nominations.
