Grammys in a pandemic - 2021

3/14/2021

0 Comments

 
Here is how the Academy puts the show this year - "Quarantine-friendly and partly virtual."
The 2021 GRAMMY Awards show, officially known as the 63rd GRAMMY Awards, takes place Sunday, March 14, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. 
- - -Go Here
- There is always controversy with an award show. ALWAYS!
- In Keeping with my style, if everyone talks about something, I pass. Blue Ivy winning is one such item from this show so far. She got a writing credit, so she and her mom and others won for Video. I go on Twitter and every single outlet seems to be headlining that right now. That is all I will note. Oh, and Bill Burr. 
- There are way too many performances in this show.
