Is This a Joke!?!? (A Thread about Awards Shows)

#1 Post by TrPrado » Mon Jan 29, 2018 4:35 am

Okay y’all what is this?? 24k Magic wins Album of the Year at the Grammy’s in a year with 4:44, Melodrama, and DAMN.????

This is worse than the Oscars. How are we supposed to believe Bruno Mars deserves these wins when it isn’t 2010?

Even Humanz was better than 24k Magic, and it wasn’t even that great.

Albums better than 24k magic:
-Awaken My Love , Childish Gambino
-DAMN , Kendrick Lamar
-Humanz , Gorillaz
-Gemini, Macklemore

Don’t get me wrong I love 24k Magic, but it didn’t win because it was artisticly superior, it won because it was popular with the masses.

Also new artist going to a girl who’s been singing for several years now and not Khalid and his breakout year is trash. Not to mention alternative album going to an album that didn’t even chart or take risks over the return of Gorillaz with Humanz.

Fuck the Grammys

What did Bruno Mars take like 7 Grammys home? Was 24k magic really worth the praise it got? It deserved a Grammy or two not a fucking handful in a run away victory.

I feel like this happens every year but for some reason people keep watching these shows and giving them credibility?

Because it’s fun to get mad. That’s also why I made the title vague enough to be about literally any awards show any given year. Gotta expect the bullshit ahead of time.

If you want to get mad just watch Maury pauvich or something. As to these awards shows, why would anyone care. There are so many and so expansive they just about give trophies for participation at neighborhood soccer games.

I’ve never felt what it feels like to agree with Brad. It feels icky. But I think I like it. ;)

I could list probably thirty albums better than 24k Magic. Why do people even care about the Grammys?

There's also no way the washed up Gorillaz deserved to beat the first actually good National album. The Mountain Goats deserve that one though.

Hey y’all! I’m back from the future. You’ll never believe this, but Boss Baby actually won that Oscar.

Oh no I don’t care about whether or not films I like have awards. I am emotionally invested in complaining, however.

Which is why I’m just listening to a livestream commentary of the Oscars and watching who wins instead of actually walking the Oscars.

We’re talking about the people who gave Suicide Squad an award, after all.

I only cared about telling the one joke. I'm not watching the Oscars.
