got a little more predictable this year — which was good, if you have a bookie, or if you’e a journalist who’s been sulking for years over your consistent failure rate in prognosticating these things. Much of it comes down to the nominating committees having been abolished this year after being gatekeepers for the last quarter-century.
SNUB: The rock bands of the moment, Maneskin and Glass Animals, get zero and one nomination, respectively The Grammys have a longstanding Rock Problem, and going with a popular vote for the nominations hasn’t solved it. Harvey Mason Jr. singled it out in a conversation with’s Jem Aswad that it’s something the Academy still has to find a way to work on. Neither the much-touted Maneskin nor the rock-to-top-40 crossover act Glass Animals got any love in the rock categories, although the latter group did get a single nod as one of 10 newcomers up for best new artist.
SNUB: The one-and-done club: Taylor Swift, ABBA, Ed Sheeran get one prominent nomination apiece, and that’s it The very first nominee some saw when they opened up the list of Grammy nominations was ABBA, in there for record of the year for “I Still Have Faith in You” — and that’s also the last time the reunited quartet appears on the ballot. Sheeran shows up on it just once, for song of the year for “Bad Habits.” Swift got just one nod for “Evermore,” for album of the year, which she won last year for “Folklore.
