I'm really happy with how the Grammy nominations turned out this year. There are some questionable and disappointing choices here and there, and some disappointing snubs like Robyn and Weyes Blood (they weren't nominated for anything), but I feel like none of the Album of the Year cadidates are glaringly offensive. Bon Iver, Lana Del Rey, and Vampire Weekend making that Album list really validates the whole thing for me. I'm also really happy Big Thief made it into Alternative Album, and the rock categories feel more competitvr than they have in a long time. I'm really satisfied with these selections, and I look forward to discovering nominees I've never heard of before.

 

Here's the full list.

In a last-minute decision, Apple has canceled a planned gala screening of “The Banker,” one of the tech company’s flagship original films that was meant to close AFI Fest on Thursday in Hollywood. Netflix has stepped in and will screen Noah Baumbach’s acclaimed “Marriage Story” in its place.

 

“We purchased ‘The Banker’ earlier this year as we were moved by the film’s entertaining and educational story about social change and financial literacy,” Apple said in a statement. “Last week some concerns surrounding the film were brought to our attention. We, along with the filmmakers, need some time to look into these matters and determine the best next steps. In light of this, we are no longer premiering ‘The Banker’ at AFI Fest.”

Apparently it's something to do with the real life people the story is based on.

I'm kind of dissapointed The National didn't make it in.

It happened!!  Ben Simmons hit his first career NBA 3 pointer :circles:

 

Sixers are now undefeated in a game when he hits a 3 pointer 😛

 

He read this article and decided it was time.

I totally thought The 1975 and The National would get nominations in Alternative Album... Alas, if that is the price to pay for the Big Thief nomination, I'll take it. That's just me.
