Is Little Simz album eligible? I feel like if it was she could be a contender for British AOTY

I also wonder if they will treat Florence as a Pop or Rock/Alt act, hopefully the latter.

I’m trying to figure out FATM placement in the alt performance category I thought previously that she got the nom because Björk didn’t submit anything, so she could grab those pop enthusiast voters, but on second thought, it’s odd that she didn’t get a nomination at the album category while Arcade Fire didn’t get one in the performance category. If Arctic Monkeys had released an album in time for submission, then I believe they would have the spot AF currently upholds.

I can’t figure it out either, I wonder if Florence and AF were splitting votes in both categories? and Florence just got a few more in Performance and AF got a few more in album? Or maybe voters felt like DF was too poppy for the category but that King the song fit in Alternative?

In any case, I’d love her to win but I’d imagine that since she only got into one of two categories she doesn’t have much of a chance. Though I do wonder how much her being an older but never awarded act will factor in, since people seeing her on the ballot might be tempted to vote for her to make up for past snubs or something.

Also I am not surprised by FATM snub in the album category I don’t think it was smart to change the usual pop field for an alt album submission. That category has always been an odd one out, and she always struggled with both rock and pop fields, a mixed field logically would just make her chances of a nom – win getting lower. She should win tho

She’s been nominated in both rock and pop before though? She had no chance of a pop nomination this time around so I think switching her to alt made total sense

went to check Florence’s page and noticed that they’re missing one of her nominations? What Kind of Man was nominated for best rock song and best rock performance! Anyways

Variety talked about
Maggie Rogers
Wet Leg
Ghost
Sam Fender
The Linda Lindas
My Chemical Romance
MUNA
Gayle
IDLES
Mitski
and then also mentioned: “Other honorable mentions include the Smile, Snail Mail, Turnstile, Måneskin, King Princess, Soccer Mommy, Beach House, Finneas and Black Country, New Road.”
https://variety.com/2022/music/news/grammy-spotlight-rock-alternative-artists-to-watch-1235406049/

I guess I’m just wondering how much weight these industry pubs have in these sorts of things or if their lists say anything about who does and does not have a reasonable shot at these awards (again, just given the fact that they’re industry publications) or if they’re just pure guesses.

Do Variety and HDD’s predictions historically mean anything in the Rock/Alt fields? Was surprised at what they picked/left out from their predictions

I feel like mitski peaked sometime in between be the cowboy and laurel hell, which isn’t ideal timing re: grammys. I could see her still getting love for LH but since it wasn’t nearly the behemoth that ‘be the cowboy’ was, i can also see it getting ignored.

Looks like these are Black Country, New Road’s submissions: Concorde: Best Alternative Music Performance, Best Music Video Ants From Up There: Best Alternative Music Album, Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package Best New Artist

Do we know which other artists submitted to ‘Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package’? I feel like I haven’t seen many other mentions of this category in this thread. Do artists submit to this or do the people in charge of designing the packages submit them? (I remember Florence’s third album was nominated in this category but I don’t think the nomination was credited to her)
