Bill Maher’s Grammy Category Suggestions
The Recording Academy might want to lend an ear. Bill Maher, the renowned comedian, has some interesting suggestions for new Grammy award categories.
Grammy Awards on the Horizon
As the 67th annual Grammy Awards approach, Maher took the opportunity on the recent episode of HBO’s Real Time to propose some innovative categories for the biggest night in music.
Grammy’s Current Format
While the Grammys usually only broadcast a select few top categories during the televised ceremony, such as album, record, and song of the year, many more awards are given out during a premiere ceremony earlier in the day.
Maher’s Excitement
Maher expressed his anticipation, jokingly referring to themselves as the “award kings” and looking forward to a fantastic Grammys weekend.
Maher’s Category Suggestions
After revealing some of the non-televised categories’ actual names, Maher decided to propose some new music categories he had thought up. However, it’s unlikely that the Recording Academy will consider Maher’s ideas. Here’s a look at some of his suggestions:
- The most regrettable facial tattoo.
- Best Christian gospel album by a clearly closeted singer.
- Non-blind Delta blues artist of the year.
- Best song that [Donald] Trump was sued for playing at his rallies.
- Best rap song featuring a siren that makes you believe there’s a police officer behind you.
- Best song celebrating “losing control” by a singer who was eventually institutionalized.
- Least terrible a cappella album.
- Best new age artist whose voice confuses your dog.
- Best hip-hop track calling out the haters, even if the haters are right.
- Best song with messed up lyrics that people still sing along to.
Maher’s Disappointment
Even though Maher’s categories might not be included, several real ones will be awarded on Sunday, including the album of the year. André 3000, Beyoncé, Sabrina Carpenter, Charli XCX, Jacob Collier, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, and Taylor Swift are all contenders in this top category.
