  Grammy Awards, etc. What a terrible awards show! I hadn't watched the Grammy's for 2 or 3 years, and if they were anything like last nights show, I didn't miss a whole lot.
Terrible. First question is: What was with the 20 minutes tribute to funk? Much of the fashion prior to the tribute was terrible, but the funkmasters topped the cake. As far as performances go, Sarah McLachlan was perhaps the only classy performance. Her and Celine Dion actually. And how about all the to-do for the late Warren Zevon, and hardly a thing for the Man in Black? Though it was good to see both Johnny and June win awards. As far as the upcoming Oscars are concerned, I think Charlize Theron has it in the bag for best actress, and perhaps Sean Penn for best actor. I'd be kind of surprised if Peter Jackson doesn't win best director, and if LOTR doesn't finally win best picture. Last Samurai should have been nominated though.
