Wouldn't know, don't watch much award shows. But I agree with the popularity issue, its just ridiculous.
Yeah...I don't watch either. I read the recaps the next day. There are tons more categories where awards are given than are televised. They only televise the categories that are the most popular. Take the Rolling Stones for example. They've been recording since 1963, but only won a lifetime achievement Grammy in '87, and the only recording they won for came in '95 for "Voodoo Lounge" in the Best Rock Album category. They also won for Best Short Form Video for "Love Is Strong" off the same album. That's it. Their best work was ignored, but they win for THAT.
