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.
Dying always helps too.
