If they didn't change that goddamn rule she would've been nominated for AOTY three times this year. So fucked up

In 2014, Cedric Gervais won Best Remix with Summertime Sadness; Lana was not awarded for this.
In 2024, Taylor Swift won Album of the Year, which includes a Lana feature, but again Lana was not awarded for this.
 

Lana (5), Olivia Rodrigo (6) and Jon Batiste (6) were the most nominated artists without a single win at the Grammys 2024.

I'm really disappointed because, just like most of you guys, I was so confident she was taking home at least one award. I know it's a competition and I don't want Lana to be a victim but this is all so unfair. Everyone was getting their awards, and nothing for Lana? Who was second best selling woman in the world, even more than the people she lost against? Who had one of the most monumental, critically applauded albums of the 2020s? Who didn't stop making the news for her magnetic performances at some of the most important festivals in the world? Who had the most talked-about album of the entire year? 
 
Midnights was the Best Pop Vocal Album, why give it the AOTY too? What Was I Made For won Best Song Written for Visual Media, the category it totally deserved as it was, well, the best song written for visual media of the bunch? How does that song reflect 2023 as Song of the Year, and not A&W with its actually thought-provoking lyrics?
 
Boygenius for Best Alternative Music Album; I know The Record was acclaimed too, but in what world Ocean Blvd wasn't the alternative album of the year? The one that's actaully left-field, deeply conceptual, with multiple sounds, instruments, dynamics and lyrics that actually represent the alternative side of music; topics that aren't talked about, that are feared by most, and not as explored as they should. Why give This Is Why Best Alternative Song, when its parent album won Best Rock Album? Couldn't they, really, give anything to Lana?
 
If this is a popularity contest, yes they all deserved... Miley, SZA and everyone else; but 2023 was undoubtedly Lana's popularity peak, and it only seems to rise. How, seriously how wasn't she awarded for that? What does she have to do to have this level of mainstream recognition? She doesn't need it, of course, as she's a critic darling, a festival darling, a GP darling... everyone loves her. She hasn't reached the tip of the "music industry" iceberg, but does she really need to? Prime TV, the Grammys, the Oscars... maybe her fate really is to be a trailblazer, watch all of her disciples come and go, grab the gold and the applause, but she will remain strong and influential, discussed and forever relevant.
 
I love you Lana, and I love you Ocean Blvd; others are thankful for seeing their favorite artists reach #1 and undeservedly break Grammy records; I personally am thankful for experiencing the music, for being part of this global movement that is Lana Del Rey, driven by her pure talent and timeless songwriting.
 
By the way, she looked breathtaking.
 

all i know is that she will always come back stronger than the last time. UV, NFR, OB are prime examples. let's manifest that with LASSO era

her hairstylist called the look “vintage goth coquette” i think

2023 was literally her year. it’s sad these old voters don't realize how important she is 

I'm loving her look more and more. It's like Honeymoon if it was goth

So they gave her 5 nominations and sat her next to two winners just not to give her any award, letting her go empty handed. She should never give this disgusting industry anything else.
 
Lana, wherever you are, you are already the most significant pop artist from this century and everyone knows that. The fact that someone as TS has won 4 times that award with her mid stuff just gives the measure of what this is all about. You're just so above all of it.

I feel bad for Jon batiste too. So many nominations and nothing. The guy is pure talent. 

the way Kintsugi singlehandedly could've obliterated the vote. imagine that. Kintsugi's richness alone. 

It’s cus the grammys KNOW that these type of artists are out of their league.

oh not this photo

Well put, literal slap in the face.
 
That said, it's just jealousy 1:1. They all fucking wish they could write a track like OB, let alone the whole album.

Yes, and the fact that he said that publicly... It's pathetic for the recording academy.

precisely why we shouldn't dwell and give af 

It's sad she did not win anything yet again after so many nomination and it's disgusting what little idea the voters at the awards have (bringing up a messed up TV performance from 2012 ... wtf) but -
 
Are we actually suprised? If NFR could not make it in 2019, why would an album like OB win now? Especially when up against Ms. Bland Swift?

But how many articles, critics and fellow artists have to say she is THE best songwriter of our generation for her to be recognised as such by the academy? Clearly, it's not enough to simply BE that - you need to call people and send gifts and have lunch with various executives and all that shit.
Well, fuck that. I'd much rather she invest her time in doing things that make her happy + making music, than worry about all that shit
They can keep their Scammys
Not watching again everrr
See you next time she's nominated

Disgraceful 

bruh I was eating a fortune cookie and u know what it said? 

"don't let others define your success". I mean if that's not a sign from the universe. like helllloooooo ~

and you know what? it's true. 

I have had time to reflect and here are my thoughts: 

How did she not even win best alternative music album and performance? Like I've never even heard of boygenius and I like Paramore and all, but This is Why is such a mediocre song

They're gonna give her some lifetime achievement award some day and act like they gave her her flowers since day 1

this is exactly what has happened

i know everyone keeps praising taylor for bringing lana up but like, i would have been so incredibly embarrassed. having an album thats critically acclaimed across the board, one of the most beautifully written and performed songs ever made, and then being made to sit in the front row and snubbed FIVE times in the same night. then youre on stage with everyone watching you, knowing that you got snubbed, while your friend accepts the award right in front of you. im sure shes happy for taylor but come on. it hurts
