E’ tempo di Grammy Awards, Oscar della musica.
Il prossimo 10 febbraio verranno annunciati i vincitori, dopo il trionfo di Adele dello scorso anno, mentre quest’oggi sono state partorite le nomination, con sorpresa.
Perché davanti a tutti troviamo i FUN, con 6 candidature, insieme a Frank Ocean, Mumford & Sons, Jay-Z, Kanye West e i Black Keys.
Tra le canzoni dell’anno assente Rihanna, con Diamonds (solo 3 nomination per la scucchiona), così come Adele (a quota zero Skyfall, bestemmia) mentre trovano spazio Kelly Clarkson e l’immancabile Taylor Swift. Deseparecida Madonna, con Katy Perry, Carly Rae Jepsen e Rihanna meglio di lei nella categoria Best Pop Solo Performance. Praticamente una scomunica. Dopo il saltino, immancabili, tutte le principali nomination. Che detto tra noi in alcuni casi puzzano di comico.
