November 24, 20204 yr Unless The Weeknd's stuff really was just not put forward for consideration for whatever reason, I am completely struggling to see why the Grammys would do this. I wouldn't put it past them to not give him any wins but to not even give him any nominations seems like them openly giving up any claim to credibility, especially with some of the absolute shite that got nominated over him? What do they gain by snubbing one of the most successful artists of the year - both commercially and critically - and especially one who happens to not be white when they already get so much shit for being at least ambiguously racist? A joke lol ~ Suffice to say I'm not paying any further mind to the Grammys this year / probably ever after this.
November 24, 20204 yr The sooner artists stop valuing the Grammys, the better to be honest. Absolutely tragic that the Weeknd got no nominations when 2020 was his year musically.
November 24, 20204 yr The Weeknd submitted. After Hours - Album Of The Year - Best Progressive r&b album - best engineeered album Blinding lights - record of the year - song of the year - best solo pop performance - best music video
November 24, 20204 yr SHOULD have been EVERY category. Especially for 'Blinding Lights'. I think this is one backlash that GRAMMY's will suffer from, more than ever.
November 24, 20204 yr A MASSIVE shakeup is needed to the Grammys committee. The fact a song like Yummy by Justin Bieber can get nominated but not Blinding Lights? I fail with words.
November 24, 20204 yr Basically means 2020 won’t have been properly reflected in music history by the Grammys
November 24, 20204 yr Mostly only here for the title track on this album but lmao this is a level of Grammys being Grammys on otherwise no brainers that I didn't even know was possible.
November 25, 20204 yr Just what has went on with him and The GRAMMYs? He’s done well at other ceremonies like AMAs and VMAs so I thought the biggest one would give him what he deserves and at least nominate him. Literally 0! It’s very suss. I mean there’s been times when I’ve been shocked at albums not winning awards but they were at least nominated.
November 25, 20204 yr The Grammys have always been horrendous. Seems like Bieber submitted his stuff for RnB (which it is if you measure the beats used) and they put it on Pop. The Weeknd throwing shade on Twitter and rightly so. To just flat out ignore is just outright bizarre.
November 25, 20204 yr I never think it looks good tbh when artists post things about not winning / not being nominated for awards. I feel it always makes them look bad and as though they feel they’re owed them (even when as fans we think that at times) I don’t ever think it’s good for artists to post stuff like this. Nicki posted something today about not winning best new artist years back (then shading who did win it) and I just thought oh god STOP! At least Abel isn’t shading other artists but yeah I fear him potentially shading and calling them out may mean he’ll not win any more for future eras.

While I can't disagree it looks salty, he's literally coming off his most successful commerical ever era, had the song of 2020 and has a massive commerical and critical success. To not even have a nomination is just bonkers. What's the point in even having awards if it doesn't celebrate the most commerical and critical acclaimed music? Even the bloody Oscars bows down to the popular vote in at least one of the categories.
November 25, 20204 yr Source is TMZ so grain of salt but apparently he was snubbed because he chose to perform at the Super Bowl instead of the Grammys. :') That'd be a very good reason for him to call out the Grammys for corruption if true ~
November 25, 20204 yr This is gonna break the Internet I wonder if the Grammy’s will respond? Surely their credibility now is beyond repairable

Is it possible could’ve done both. I think Gaga did in 2017 (but that wasn’t in a pandemic and I don’t think she was nominated in 2017 either bc Joanne the album was released in October).

November 25, 20204 yr This is gonna break the Internet I wonder if the Grammy’s will respond? Surely their credibility now is beyond repairableI'm not convinced considering the other scandals they've survived. I hope it does break the Internet though. They're crazy if they thought they could snub The Weeknd without backlash. Are other artists able to comment on this or would they risk getting snubbed themselves? :S
November 25, 20204 yr So many of these award shows base it on who can perform on the night. If they're performing they're more likely to be showered with nominations. A major shame that they don't look at the critical and commercial success over ratings on the night. The legacy of a Grammy lasts long beyond that one night and the awards should recognise this!
