McMusic, I totally agree about award shows and Grammies in particular. These days I watch because sometimes it's fun just to sit there and get angry for four hours. Linda Rondstadt must have some pull with those people. Several years ago she was up for the best Spanish album (first time that category was televised.) The other contestants were legitimate Latin-American musicians with names the announcers couldn't pronounce. I don't have to tell you who won.
