Music awards are almost always ridiculous. I get why they exist, to promote popular music rather than the best music so that everyone makes more money. What gets me is the artists that have convinced themselves it's any kind of accomplishment. It's not. When the Foo Fighters get nominated for album of the year and Arcade Fire doesn't or James Blunt instead of Sufjan Stevens, the awards have no meaning. It would be the equivalent of Due Date getting nominated for Best Picture instead of the Social Network.
