Poor lorde has no shot for album of the year, too risky for the voters. Specially when on the contrary of the pop categories, the General Field nominations aren't just the ones with the most votes from the academy. The 20 or 15 most voted are sent to a smaller panel where they re-vote their favorites from that shortlist. They do that basically in order to avoid trashy #1 hits to sweep (This panel was created in the year Macarena exploded). Being a small panel they have their meetings and discuss what they think represents the best and deserve for that year. That's how Formation got ROTY and SOTY but no R&B categories. That's how Melodrama, a critically acclaimed album gets AOTY but no pop categories that are chosen by popular vote. That's how Ed Sheeran got snubbed when he certainly was one of the most voted for the General Field. They clearly have their intentions and this year wanted to embrace urban music and acclaimed albums more after several blacklash of just awarding the one who sells the most usually made by white people. Besides, Jay-Z must be friends with them because those three nominations just doesn't make sense Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree with you, they've basically secured 24K Magic AOTY by nominating Jay-Z, Kendrick and Childish Gambino together which will split the vote. Jay-Z's sweep to me is shocking and undeserved.

I love Joanne, but I can definitely see its flaws and it's by no means up there with the best of music this year. I'm really happy we've got 2 nominations! Plus by not winning/being nominated, it'll hopefully make Gaga more determined to make better albums. Can't wait! There are other interests within the academy than truly awarding the “best music” so lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand if you get pissed for 0 noms, but for 2? no way. Who cares if its not for the big categories? Its still a nomination. And if MR was nominated for SOTY there was no way it could win anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
