Every media outlet will report on snubs and surprises. What surprised you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tI\u2019m pleasantly surprised about the different types of things we\u2019re seeing. [For example], the different types of [people who were nominated for] songwriter of the year, non-classical and producer of the year, non-classical.<\/p>\n
\n\tSome of the things that also surprised me that weren\u2019t huge positives \u2014 I felt that we didn\u2019t have as many Latin artists and creators as I would have liked to have seen.<\/p>\n
\n\tI agree with you about Latin music in the Big Four. And country, too. I was shocked that Luke Combs\u2019 \u201cFast Car\u201d wasn\u2019t up for record of the year.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tAnd that song, and country in general, had such a great year. [There were] so many really good records and great artists, so it was a surprise.<\/p>\n
\n\tAre you determined to bring in more country and Latin voters? Do you see it as a weak spot where you need to do better?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tWe always feel like we can do better. We have to do more outreach in Latin communities, making sure that we\u2019re representing the music accurately. We\u2019re hearing from them things that we can do; making sure we have the right amount of membership and representation. Same goes for country. So, we have to make sure that we\u2019re getting the right membership, which is something we have to talk about every year. When we look at the results of any given year, we always look and see where we can do better; where do we need to balance; where do we need to grow and evolve our membership. \u2026 It\u2019s something that we pay close attention to, so we\u2019ll continue to do work on our membership.<\/p>\n
\n\tI was surprised Lainey Wilson wasn\u2019t nominated for best new artist. She has won seven CMA Awards in the last two years.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tI listen to a lot of the music that you\u2019re talking about and I\u2019m a huge fan of a lot of these records. I totally wish more people were nominated. There are great country artists I wish had been nominated, but we have a certain finite number of slots. I really like our 12,000 voters and the way they\u2019re approaching this. They\u2019re really voting with their ears. But they pick what they pick. I get my one vote, I can tell you that. I probably voted for some other things that maybe didn\u2019t make it.<\/p>\n
\n\tHow did you think the drop from 10 nominees to eight in each of the Big Four categories worked out?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tI supported it. We\u2019ve gone from five to eight to 10 and back to eight [trying to hit the right number].<\/p>\n
\n\tDo you like eight better?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tI\u2019m not going to say I like it better. I\u2019m going to say I\u2019m happy with it at eight. I think it will make for a great final round of voting. It\u2019s something we\u2019ll continue to look at.<\/p>\n
\n\tDid you take a peek to see what finished No. 9 and No. 10 in the voting in the Big Four categories \u2013 that you missed out on by going with eight nominees?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tI didn\u2019t. I don\u2019t want to torture myself. [laughs] I would be so frustrated [if they were records that would have been good to have.]<\/p>\n
\n\tSZA is the leader in the nominations and also landed her first album of the year nod as a lead artist. What do you make of her ascendency?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tIt\u2019s really spectacular. She obviously had a banner year. Extremely, hyper-creative project. She\u2019s extremely talented. The music really resonated with our voters. I\u2019m excited for her.<\/p>\n
\n\tI was also happy to see Miley Cyrus do well, with nominations for record, album and song of the year. I don\u2019t think anybody took her seriously 15 years ago, but she has proved herself a unique talent and unique singer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tSomething about what she\u2019s done this year definitely moved the voters. I\u2019m really happy for her. This is going to be a really interesting shoot-out here in the next go-round. There are some great artists, great records, so we\u2019re going to be excited to see what happens.<\/p>\n
\n\tI was also surprised that \u201cAll My Life\u201d by Lil Durk featuring J. Cole wasn\u2019t up for record of the year. It\u2019s the kind of hip-hop record that Grammy voters love.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tI think the type of records that Grammy voters like is probably evolving as our membership is evolving. And we really intentionally got into a lot of communities \u2013 Black music, hip-hop. The membership has really evolved over the last two or three years. So, I think the outcomes in those types of music is going to continue to change and evolve. It will be hard to determine what is going to be a Grammy style of hip-hop record.<\/p>\n
\n\tA lot of people will be surprised that there weren\u2019t enough entries for best m\u00fasica urbana album to have five nominees in the category.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tIt felt like the dominance of Latin music is continuing. It had another massive year. Maybe there\u2019s something to be said [for the fact] that the Latin Grammys are doing really, really well. Maybe some of the Latin creatives are feeling that they\u2019re excited to be represented there as well.<\/p>\n
\n\tAre you saying that the Latin Grammys have taken some of the shine off the Latin categories in the regular Grammys?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tI wouldn\u2019t say they\u2019ve taken some of the shine. I would just say there\u2019s probably a focus on the Latin music people to submit music in the Latin Grammys.<\/p>\n
\n\tVictoria Mon\u00e9t has nominations in two of the Big Four categories. I would guess that there are going to be a lot of Internet searches on Friday so people can find out more about her. She\u2019s probably the least broadly-known nominee in the major categories.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tShe\u2019s extremely talented. She will be somebody who will come out of this with a whole new audience. This is what is cool about it. Sometimes the Academy celebrates these artists that no one knows about. I believe that to be a really cool feature of these awards and this process. People are going to learn about a great new artist and maybe even discover their favorite new artist.<\/p>\n
\n\tLike Samara Joy winning best new artist last year.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tThere are always those stories were someone is like \u201cWait, who is that?\u201d and then the next thing you know they\u2019re playing that music as they\u2019re driving in their car.<\/p>\n
\n\tBarbie <\/em><\/strong>music did very well, with two of the four song of the year nominations and four of the five nominations for best song written for visual media.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tGreat artists. Great writers. You\u2019re seeing some incredible names there on those records, both on the production side, writing side and artist side, so it\u2019s exciting.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe only down note is that Barbie The Album<\/em> was passed over for an album of the year nod. It\u2019s really hard for a soundtrack to crack that category.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tYou could make an argument that it could be there based on how many great songs and all the great music that came off of it. But that\u2019s how voting works: 12,000 voters listen and they decide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
