Quite weird aren’t they?
Album of the year and record of the year are somehow different things.
Kanye up for multiple awards presumably in the hope he’ll make a scene.
Lots of awards where you feel like no one nominating has a clue so they just put forward the things they’ve heard of.
Still Jon Batiste seems like a nice bloke so fair play.
Even though it’s incredibly obvious to talk about how weird it is that there’s millions of awards for specific niche genres alongside Billie Eilish and Lil Nas X etc, it’s still incredibly funny when you read through them.
Best bluegrass album!
Record of the year seems to be for singles. As is single of the year. 
Honestly couldn’t tell you the difference between Best Americana and Best American Roots, surely they’re the same basic thing?!?
And some of them get separate performance awards too, but then buried down at the bottom you’ve got
Best contemporary Christian music performance/song
Well at least Silk Sonic won both so the duplication is consistent I guess.
It is a good song/record tbf.
I’ve always said that was the most overlooked genre!
Spice may not have won the best reggae album Grammy, but she’ll always be DiS Song Contest champion of 2022
Record of the year is specifically for the recording ie the record label/producer gets kudos, song of the year is for the actual song ie publisher/songwriter gets kudos. Harks back to days when artists usually didn’t record their own material and songs would be recorded by several artists
So a bit anachronistic nowadays, yeah, but still there’s a logic to it
Quite sincerely think that was the most deserved winner of the lot.
Glass Animals and Japanese Breakfast both up for Best New Artist despite both being 3 albums in
Can’t believe Weezer are getting Grammy nominations in the year of our lord 2022
Love that they have the Ukraine tribute, where Zelensky calls out the ridiculousness of such events, then proceed to celebrate each other like that didn’t even happen. I’m not even sure why people want to watch these types of shows anymore. They’ve always been a gross, tone-deaf reacharound but this shit is dire.
What’s your point. I SAID WHATS YOUR POINT?
Looking at the artists in question, “Americana” seems to be more like folk rock/country rock, it’s bluegrass and American roots that seem to be basically the same thing.
Apparently
Song of the Year, however, is awarded to the writer of the song, not the artist that sings the song.
So it’s probably some really specific thing like that. Still, ridiculously confusing categorisations.
Edit: Oh I see @BodyInTheThames covered it. Or I think he did because TBH I can’t quite get it.
Slightly more weird than the micro-genre awards is the fact that Louis CK won best comedy album.
I’m not saying the Grammy’s are out of touch, but…
