If she doesn't win Best Alternative album for OB, there will be hell to pay.

 

 

Possible Best Alternative nominees include Queen of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters, Royal Blood, Caroline Polachek, Blur, Slowdive, boygenius, 100 Gecs... It's a tough one.

 

Realistically though, Ocean Blvd is probably wrongly submitted to Pop. The way NFR! would have easily won Best Alternative in 2020.

A lot of these like Foo Fighters and QOTSA would likely get put into the rock categories not alternative. Either way boygenius is higher than Lana in AOTY predictions, so even if Lana was put into the alternative category, it’s going to be difficult for her to win. 

[Embach 45,095]

hypothetically, if Midnights or Life Lessons wins AOTY (I mean both artists have been Grammy darlings) does that mean that Lana gets AOTY as a songwriter too? You know, like with Abel's Beauty Behind The Madness album and Lana was a songwriter in Prisoner, so she got AOTY nomination

I think they changed the rules recently so that Lana can't get shit.

 

"to win a nomination for the album of the year category, a music creator has to account for at least 20% of the work."

midnights deluxe has "snow more lana" too tho, so 2 lana tracks - how many percentages it would make

I honestly think it's fair

also the idea of her first grammy not being her own work isn't very appealing or exciting to me, but that's just a personal preference

For sure. She deserved Album of the Year with Norman. And now, when she didn't get it, at least give her best f-ing alternative for OB.

I personally think that the artists mentioned above are more for rock categories than alternative ones and when it comes to Boygenius even with the predictions and odds online I think Ocean Blvd has a much better chance getting that win since a lot of grammy leaning artists such as JB or Jack are on it and tbh Ocean Blvd is a superior album, nonetheless the thing that will determine if she wins or not is if the committee decides to move the album from alternative to the pop vocal category or Lana and her team completely ignore the alternative category. It will be interesting to see the outcome tho since the grammies are always unpredictable.

[Eugene 26,672]

Alternative categories should be just as important as pop categories. 

 

Alt artists also deserve to be recognized. They do amazing work.

[Embach 45,095]

there's a new nom category in the grammys since this year called "best alt performance" so it might mean that they can submit ocean blvd song or a&w to that category

Yeah, I think she has a good chance with A&W, if her team submitted it for that category...

[Coney Island King 26,125]

Shame she wasn’t there to accept the award. I hope she attends the Grammy’s because you just know she’ll have a nomination from Blvd.

Lana's team said that they have always submitted her music for the Best Alternative category at the Grammys, but the Recording Academy "screening committees" always move her to the main Pop categories. It kinda sucks because she would probably have a Grammy by now if her previous projects had been considered for that category (like NFR??? Hello??) but there seems to be a lot of shady politics within the Recording Academy to promote certain artists and supress others. There has been drama with other artists over this specific issue of who gets allowed in certain categories like Nicki Minaj who was upset she got moved from rap to pop as it lessens her chances of winning. https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/nicki-minaj-slams-grammys-again-super-freaky-girl-category-change-1235157367/

This is nasty… I swear if they move Ocean Blvd to pop this year… like it’s clearly an alt album

They are just awful. When they snubbed The Weeknd with After Hours by giving it zero nominations, the committee members couldn't decide which category it should be put in (Pop or R&B) so it didn't get enough listing for Pop nomination allegedly. In reality they erased his nominations because he went on Superbowl instead of perfoming at Scammys.

I've never cared about awards to be honest, her art and videos have always been the winner in my eyes BUT it is very nice she is getting credit for her artistic visions and especially nice for the people who helped her make the video and all the crew !!!! I hope they all get a little trophy! they deserve it!
