Here's a breakdown of the most controversial 2020 Grammys nominations.
received a nomination for Song of the Year, her heartbreaking finale ballad"I'll Never Love Again " received a nomination for Best Song Written for Visual Media, and the entiresoundtrack received a nomination for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media. But because the soundtrack was released on October 5, 2018, these are all technically eligible.
Then, there's the question of what fits in those murky categories. There are some— like Best Urban Contemporary Album and Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album—which seemed named to intentionally cause confusion. Bad Bunny, J. Balvin, Flor De Toloache, iLe, and Rosalía all received nominations in Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album— which lumps rock, urban, and alternative genres into a single, Spanish-language group.
And where are all of the women producers? Producer of the Year, Non-Classical nominations went to a whole bunch of men , and not a single woman. What happened to the up-and-coming engineers and producers, or even the established ones like Missy Elliott and Linda Perry? There's also the fact that those who have committed reprehensible acts of violence towards women are somehow not shut out of this particular type of popularity contest.
