My controversial quote of the day, I think Ray Charles won his award because he passed away recently. I hate it when these awards committees realize that someone who has really contributed a lot to their art/craft have never been awarded or nominated for their past work so they give them an award for something recent because they want to overall honor their contributions now that they have wised up. its pathetic in my opinion. usually it takes an artist to die for that recognition, and this year it was ray charles that was recognized. last year, it was Joe Strummer of the Clash.

WOW! I actually agree with you on this. You would think they would have done this before for such a great artist but instead, they only do it after his death & lo and behold, he wins a plethora of awards. What a load of bullshit in my opinion. They should have recognized him years ago instead of waiting for his death & movie.
