The awards shows have also become too long and boring. About 2/3 of the Grammys was singing. They should simply read the names and give the awards.

The grammys have too many catagories. About 10 years ago, they had awards for best single, best album, best group, and best solo act. Now they have awards for best rap album, best country album, and best hip hop album. They probably increased the number of awards because people complained because they didn't get anything. It's a kind of affirmative action.

Actually....

They’ve been giving boatloads of Grammy’s for decades. Here are some categories that have been added over the years:

Best Polka Album - Added in 1986. Won this year by Jimmy Sturr for “Dance with me”. This guy has won TWELVE Grammys in this category including one tie in 1987.

Best (Musical) Album For Children - Added in 1959. Won this year by Dan Zanes for “Catch that Train!”

Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s) - Added in 1963.

Etc. There have always been a staggering number of categories at the Grammys.
