Grammys Snubs and Surprises: Women Rule the Major Categories — but Olivia Rodrigo, SZA and Lana Del Rey Can’t Catch a Break


The Grammys spread the love around, but there were still artists like SZA, Olivia Rodrigo and Lana Del Rey that came up short in getting their due.

Still, if we’re focusing on the top three all-genre categories, especially, in as strong a year of candidates as this one, there are going to be a fair amount of deserving superstars who will have to have their genre-specific awards to keep them warm tonight. But the most joyful man in music still came away a winner for his tribute to Bill Withers in the In Memoriam segment, with Oscar contention still to look forward to — and a currently widely seen documentary that has the potential to change lives. This stands in radical contrast to the zero she picked up as the hottest artist of the moment her last time at the Grammys, contending for “Punisher.” Boygenius being big doesn’t really seem like a shock — unless you remember just how recently the Academy voters got it completely wrong in regards to Bridgers.
