If you don't know me by now you'll never know me
I never won a Grammy, I won't win a Tony

the Cleo awards perfectly represent my relationship with the art form being celebrated

The excitement here before the winner announced is palpable.

the Grammy's are always the most amazing that anyone pretends to care

No personal relationship to or consumption of American theater, so I guess Tonys by default?

Sorry it didn't capture anyone's imagination!

I had a conversation with a friend who was saying "the Oscars have nothing to do with the movies I watch," and I was saying that it was the same thing for me with the Grammys - I almost never know those bands. I guess I was curious what people thought the most irrelevant of these big 4 American awards was.

I guess there isn't much to chew on here. Sorry, Aimless, and everyone else.

I am aware of and in some cases even like some of the movies Oscar nominates, the music Grammys nominate, and the TV shows Emmys nominate. I am so jejune.

the grammys pretty consistently, category by category, utterly diverge from my musical tastes

i feel like the Oscars and to a lesser degree the Grammys represent some kind of mainstream zeitgeist that i can identify with and take an interest in, but i'm voting for the Emmys because they seem to just latch on to a show like Modern Family or Mad Men and throw every award they can at it until it goes off the air.

Titanic won a Tony in 1997, an Oscar in 1998 and a Grammy in 1999. So there's that in Emmys favor, if you will ... oh, wait.

This is the same board that loves Vanessa Williams' "Save the Best for Last"?
