True! They loved Stevie Wonder so much, that in 1976, when Paul Simon won, he thanked Stevie Wonder for not releasing an album that year. It turned out to be prophetic, because Stevie Wonder won again the following year.
Ordinarily I'd be smacking my forehead about now, but I actually kind of love that I ended up amongst a very select few who got Bob Newhart and missed Michael Jackson.
I very nearly posted a comment in anger at the fact that Purple Rain did not make the list, but then realised it was the same year as Thriller, and I am still debating which one more deserved to win
It's incredible how bad this list is, feels almost random at times. People love to criticize the Oscars people, but they're miles ahead of the Grammy committee.
the fact that you can't understand what he says doesn't mean he doesn't deserve the nominations or the win. you could just listen with an open mind... as a non-american, its crazy to see how many stuff you guys miss because of laziness.
I mean tbf there are so many better Spanish-speaking artists than Bad Bunny. He won it because he's popular and him winning draws in views, and views=money. Same reason why Taylor Swift won three times, even beating out TPAB somehow.
Dying always helps too.
By 2021, this had fallen to just 2.1% and then they stopped reporting the number.
