Grammy Goes To The Movies (and TV, sort of)
By Scott Gwin: 2007-12-09 22:23:14
Let's face it: the Grammy's are little more than a popularity contest these days with the winner being the one
whose publicist and label has the best connections with the big wigs at Clear Channel radio. Sure, that
"Delilah" song by the Plain White Tees is sweet, but best song of the year? Are they kidding?
As well, plenty of attention is paid to all those artists who, regardless of talent, are making the most money at the moment. Few people even realize there are other categories of music out there where the seleciton of nominees and winners are based on more than the number of times radio stations are cramming songs down listener's throats. Of course, there are plenty of oddball Grammy categories that you probably never knew existed. Did you know there's an entire category just for Polka music? Who knew! More important, there's an entire field of awards dedicated to the Film/TV/Visual Media, though you'll never hear about it unless some day Justin Timberlake discovers he can pretend to write movie scores and get away with it. Three categories are up for grabs: best compilation soundtrack (an album that's a mixed bag of vocal songs and intrumental score), best soundtrack album (strictly instrumental score), and best song. If you see some items from movies released last year, don't be thrown. Remember that the Grammys go from October 1 to September 30 of each year. Don't ask me why. Everyone's got to be different I guess. The categories lump movies, TV and visual media together, though there's not a single TV show nominated. As if to add insult in injury, the visual media group got a single nomination with Cirque Du Soleil's trippy Beatles tribute "Love" which is currently showing at The Mirage in Vegas. (No seriously, it's trippy stuff, even for Cirque Du Soleil. Check out the LOVE web site for previews). Check out the nominees below and check back on February 10 for the winners. You can bet we'll be just about the only ones reporting them. Best Compilation Soundtrack Album For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media
Best Score Soundtrack Album For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media
Best Song Written For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media
