22	->''"It was crazy. We saw our audience get bigger and bigger, and then come the SAG awards, the Emmy Awards, the Golden Globes—nothing. We were like, 'Well, what the fuck is going on?' And David Simon, he was so cool. He was like 'Fuck the awards, I’m not about that. [[DoingItForTheArt I’m about telling a good story]].' He was on interviews, like, 'We don’t need that.'

33	->''“I felt like it was [[Music/{{Beyonce}} her]] time to win. My view is what the [[PrecisionFStrike fuck]] does she have to do to win Album of the Year? … Obviously the visual is very new and [[TrueArtIsAncient the Grammys are very traditional]], but I thought this would be the year they went with the tides.”''
34	-->-- '''Music/{{Adele}}''', after beating Music/{{Beyonce}} for Album of the Year [[http://ew.com/music/2017/02/13/grammys-2017-adele-beyonce-album-year/ at the 2017 Grammys]]
35
36	->"[[SelfTitledAlbum Beyoncé]] ''and'' Music/{{Lemonade\|2016}} ''are great, important works of art. It feels like we might look back on this time as the beginning of Music/{{Beyonce}}’s classic period, something very few artists have. The unfair, [[PrecisionFStrike fucked-up]] part of it all, however, is that it’s actually going to take Beyonce making an album as earth-shattering as ''Music/{{Innervisions}} ''or'' Music/SongsInTheKeyOfLife ''to beat the next collection of Music/TaylorSwift songs [[RoadTripPlot about road trips]] for the Album of the Year Grammy.

47	[[AC:Web Video]]
48	->''"Now we metal fans have known the Grammys as a joke for years, because the [[HeavyMetal metal]] and [[HardRock hard rock]] awards have never gone to the best acts in the genre or even the critically acclaimed ones, or to put it another way: Music/{{Evanescence}}, Music/LinkinPark, Music/{{Slipknot}} and Music/{{Korn}} have more Grammys than Music/DreamTheater, Music/{{Nightwish}}, Music/QueensOfTheStoneAge or Music/{{Ayreon}}. I know [[ProgressiveMetal progressive metal]] is rarely well-reviewed, well, anywhere, but there's something wrong with that. Well, a few weeks ago, the [[HipHop hip hop]] community who don't remember Music/WillSmith, Young MC and Music/ChrisBrown having more Grammys than Music/PublicEnemy or Music/DeLaSoul or Music/TupacShakur or [[Music/TheNotoriousBIG Biggie Smalls]] got pretty damn angry that Music/{{Macklemore}} won Best Rap Album of the year over Music/KendrickLamar's star-making album of 2012, ''Music/GoodKidMaadCity''."''

51	-> ''"So, yeah. [[Film/BohemianRhapsody this]] is a [[SoOkayItsAverage pretty average movie]] from a storytelling and film making perspective. I wouldn't call it "painfully average" since I reserve that for movies that dissapoint me by being average. I didn't expect much from this one, but I like [[Creator/RamiMalek Rami]] and I love Music/{{Queen}} so, yeah, I liked it. But I don't think it's worthy of being a best picture nominee by any stretch of the imagination. Aside from its inexplicable "Editing" nod, it's not up for anything really prestigious like writing, or cinematography or any acting categories besides the one. I don't see why a movie that isn't exceptional in many categories, and have its director fired and replaced by someone else needed to be nominated. Film/{{Solo}} was another movie that had its director fired and replaced, ultimately making for a fine, pretty standard movie. Why wasn't Solo not nominated? Hell, it has a higher score on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes. What's stopping any other perfectly decent movie from getting a nomination? Actually, better question; why couldn't an universally loved movie like Film/Paddington2 get a nomination? What's stopped [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderverse Into the Spiderverse]]? Or Film/EighthGrade? Or Film/TheBalladOfBusterScruggs? Why would you nominate such an unexceptional movie over something universally liked?!"''
