GRAMMYs removes The Weeknd’s total wins and nominations from his page

[YourEvilTwin 1,379]

The Gaga stans dragging him do realize there's not a chance in hell L4S would've gotten all these nominations if he weren't for his "reaction", right? He literally forced the Grammys to change the rules that basically legitimized all the shady stuff they've been doing for decades. Gaga herself has fallen victim many times before.

He was right to react that way because his snubs were absolutely sketchy as ****, and in no way comparable to the HoG situation. The fact that with the biggest hit single/album of the year he failed to score even a POP nomination was absolutely inexplicable.

I mean, come on the **** on. Do you seriously believe that 'Blinding Light' somehow failed to score more votes than 'Yummy' and 'Say So' for Pop Solo?

I'm not even a fan of his, but what happened to him last year proved every suspicion I've ever had about the Grammys.

And even commercially, her movie made more money than all the other contenders combined. Her snub was equally if not more obvious and deliberate. 

The Oscars is NOT the Billboard Awards! Or Spider-Man: No way Home would have been nominated for Best Picture!

Gaga fans are obsessed with #1's, but we've known for years that Oscar voters couldn't care less about box office success, Oscar ratings and award show revenues. It's all about the art of filmmaking!

Look at this year's nominees. Yes, Gaga might have to do a couple INDIES or even theater to earn her stripes! 🙂

Twitter stans saying things like "Of course they'd nominate her! No Gaga, no ratings!" is not just silly (because they've been proven wrong) but counterproductive. 

Yes, Oscar producers, ABC, and the Academy's Board of Governors would be delighted if Spider-Man: No Way Home was nominated for Best Picture, Ariana's Just Look Up for Best Original Song, etc., but it's not up to them!

All they could do is invite big names as presenters or performers. It's a little late to bribe the accountants.

Gaga was literally the only best actress contender to be nominated for all the important precursors this year. 

Every organization is different. SAG is a union, the 99%. The Academy is an exclusive club, the 1%.

BAFTA is British. It's no longer a reliable precursor since they made changes in 2020 to boost diversity. Nobody knows FOR SURE who the Top 2 vote-getters are, or the Top 5 if there's no "longlisting jury."

Just because the Academy is a prestigious, exclusive club, and the Oscars air on ABC... doesn't mean a SAG nom or a BAFTA nom isn't a HUGE HONOR. Thank about that. 🙂

Either way, Gaga won't be nominated for an Oscar every single time. Where's the fun in that? It's exhausting.

I just found it funny that you think the comparison between Gaga's Oscar snub and the Weeknd's Grammy one here was necessary , thus my react.

Exactly! I doubt there's a CONSPIRACY on the part of "the Academy" to "snub" Gaga.

How would they accomplish that? Bribe the accountants? 🙂

The difference between Oscar noms (voted on by individual Oscar voters) and pre-2022 Grammy noms (voted on by secret nominations review committees) is that there's NO ROOM for corruption. 

Actors vote for actors. There is NO nominations review committee. It's entirely up to individual voters who returned their ballot to the accountants. Gaga could have missed by a single vote for all we know. 

There are quite a few talented actresses in the running for Best Actress this year. Actresses who've been working for decades and paid their dues, who are in better movies, or movies that BETTER showcase their acting. In Jessica's case, she acquired the rights to Tammy Faye Bakker's life in 2012. It's her project. 

House of Gucci is an ensemble drama. The A-list cast couldn't save the movie. Oscar voters hated it, per Variety and THR. It's too commercial with no redeeming message and little artistic merit.

and I still don’t understand his reaction, After Hours was very successful, but it wasn’t like the most acclaimed album of the year or something.

He was mad cause white artists often get nominated over less critically acclaimed/ less successful songs than blinding lights which didn't after getting great reviews and being a massive hit.

Think about Bieber's yummy getting wrecked by critics yet getting a nom or the Ed Sheran's album who won album of the year despite critics often calling it generic, bland... Meanwhile After hours was beloved by critics yet fully snubbed by the Grammy's...

 I mean, if Kendrick can’t win album of the year with his “genius” album (regarded by many), then I’m not surprised by anything. 

That's the same issue, Lamar got incredible critics then lost to less critically acclaimed albums from white artists.

Same for Beyoncé who received all the R&B or minor categories Grammy's there are to get yet generally struggle like crazy to get a main category win, these often being won by... Less critically acclaimed white artists projects, again.

I know we shouldn’t compare but imagine if Gaga had thrown a temper tantrum like The Weekend after being snubbed by the Oscars  She’s so mature and humble 

Gaga was snubbed for amazing actresses so it doesn't feel as unfair imo.

The weekend was snubbed in pop categories while Bieber's yummy that disappointed the GP like the critics was able to get a best pop song nom' after its release...

They seem to put the bar high for him and very low for others, mainly if they're white, so he's pissed.

Gaga is not only humble but also smart. 

she knows her chances are not over with one movie. 

she have a full long career ahead of her and it's not only pointless but also short sighted to make such a big deal for not being nominated for ONE album. 

when Tay didn't get a nomination for REP she said "it doesn't matter because i will make a better album" and BOOM, sistren sweeped 2 years later. 

 

But tay is white so when she's snubbed she knows it's not for racial reasons.

The weekend was expected for pop categories and was snubbed cause they struggle to give these to black acts. Tyler the creator made a very well received pop album with singing/ spoken words, not rapping on it and still got a... Rap category nom... They just like to keep black artists in rap/ R&B or minor categories.

Actually Tay's 1989 getting the top one, "album of the year" when after hours is not even getting a nom for the less prestigious " pop album of the year" while both are pop projects which got similarly great reviews + strongly symbolized their era's pop music state speaks volume.

AH is still biggest snub that ever happened, if those voters preferred JB album then they have no credibility whatsoever

They're being double shady for removing the wins AND for using that picture.
