I’m curious about the Documentary Feature category. Who do you guys think will get nominated there? I love documentaries and it doesn’t feel like there have been any major ones this year so I’d also be interested in some recommendations. Thanks.

Unlikely because YNTCD was a way bigger hit than Stupid Love and I think Beyoncé’s name carries more weight than Gaga’s. She could surprise though.

Who do you think will?

Out of curiosity since I don’t know much about the category, who do you think will win? The Beastie Boys? Taylor?

The visual media categories are very under-discussed here.

Is the new Beyoncé film even a “Music Film”?

I don’t know what it’s about but it didn’t seem like I would call it a “Music Film”.

I’ve loved all the pre-release songs from Gaslighter so I’m hoping the album holds up and can get into AOTY and maybe either ROTY/ SOTY.

Does anyone think Love You For A Long Time by Maggie Rogers has any hope of getting any sort of nomination? She’s a BNA nominee but has never gotten anything else. The song wasn’t big but it feels very SOTY-esque. If she gets into the Top 20 I could see her being a surprise committee pick.

The only acceptable ranking

The bottom three

Clean is the worst song on 1989

She should’ve released Miss Americana when the doc was released, Afterglow for spring and Cruel Summer for summer. That wouldn’t really work but I would’ve loved videos for all of them.

Afterglow had the potential to be the Delicate of the Love era.

I doubt they’ll push anything else. It’s too hard to film a high budget video in quarantine and The Man tanked. She’ll probably just move on to the next era.

I’m well aware of that I was just trying to clear up confusion about whether or not Cruel Summer status as ‘single’ or ‘non-single’.

Cruel Summer doesn’t have an adds date so it isn’t really a single though it has been made available on All Access. Insiders were saying that there were no plans to release it as a single either. I think they might just be seeing if radio wants to pick it up on their own and if they do they’ll push it and if not they’ll just leave it. It hasn’t…[Read more]
