what you critics said would never happen
I am done with awards shows. Finished. Over. Finito.
This started with the 2005 Grammy Awards (was it '05? The year that Green Day didn't win Album of the Year for American Idiot. Ray Charles won - not because he had the better album [most critics agreed that he didn't,] but because he had DIED. Not to sound disrespectful, but dead people don't care if they get awards or not! But I digress.)
This year's Grammy noms pretty much finished award shows for me. (This year's all-over-the-place Golden Globe nods didn't help, either.)
No longer will I pay any attention to what some random group of people try to tell me what is and isn't worthwhile.
...Now that I think about it, that's good advice for life in general.
