The 2012 Oscar nominations , which include War Horse, The Artist, Moneyball, The Descendants, The Tree of Life, Midnight in Paris, The Help, Hugo, and Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close as the Best Picture contenders pretty much confirms the notion that this has been a terrible year for "good" movies. That's a putrid list. The biggest snub, however, has to be The Adventures of Tin Tin not being nominated for Best Animated feature, while the likes of Kung Fu Panda 2 and Puss in Boots were. Good lord.

It's going to be hard throwing a swanky awards bash in this economic climate. The temptation to be showy and flash must be avoided at all costs, while still keeping a sense of dignity. How are the Grammy organisers going with that? Oh, yes. That ugly wrist choker is the official Grammy "timepiece" (implying there's no Grammy cuckoo clock this year) and comes in at just $1,395. As ever, here's the full list of nominations; leap over to get to the chattery bit [...]

That's what the 2011 Grammy Awards will be known as because, WOW, girl makes some awesome music and she has just about zero competition this year. This might be some good news to indie kids, who are still celebrating last year's massive Arcade Fire upset, 50-something moms and just about everybody in the world. I mean, how can your really hate Adele? I mean REALLY hate her. Personally, I'm tired of hearing her stupid amazing songs every day in my office (I'm looking at you, co-worker who won't be named), but you gotta give credit where credit is due! [...]

Los Angeles Times (MCT) -- LOS ANGELES - Rapper Kanye West scored a leading seven nominations for the 54th annual Grammy Awards, but ceded the brightest spotlight of music industry esteem to British singer Adele, whose six nominations include the most prestigious categories of record, album and song of the year. Adele's "21," the biggest-selling album of 2011 at nearly 4.7 million copies, also received nominations Wednesday for best pop solo performance, pop vocal album and short-form music video. Adele's...

E' tempo di preparare il vestito buono, scaldare la voce e di cominciare a sperare nel trionfo finale, con annesso discorsone di ringraziamento: le nominations ai Grammy Awards 2012 sono state svelate la scorsa notte a Los Angeles e d'ora in avanti la competizione tra artisti entra nel vivo. La consegna dei cosiddetti Oscar della musica (edizione numero 54) avverrà tra un paio di mesi, il 12 febbraio per la precisione, ma l'antipasto offerto ieri in diretta tv sulla CBS è già servito ad offrire spettacolo oltre che a farsi un'idea su quale sarà il [...]

The nominations for the 2012 Grammys were officially announced just a few minutes ago. The cutoff date for the material was September 30th, 2011, so some recent albums aren't eligible (i.e. Drake's Take Care). I'm not entirely sure that people still actually care about the Grammys, but I do know that the nominations for Album Of The Year are some of the least deserving cop-outs I've ever seen, outside of Adele's 21. The British girl with the golden pipes obviously has that award locked up, but click "Read More" to take a look at some of the other categories and pick [...]

Avevamo sottolineato un pò di tempo fa come l'Italia musicale all'estero si fermi praticamente ai tempi andati: non solo le canzoni degli anni ' 60-70-80 ricantate nella sua particolare versione di Aylin Prandi , ma anche e soprattutto, i classici italiani. Sempre di moda, cantati da chiunque e ultimamente rilanciati da Il Volo , ovvero i giovanissimi Gianluca Ginoble, Piero Barone e Ignazio Boschetto , lanciati da "Ti lascio una canzone" e ora divenuti protagonisti in tutto il mondo. L'altro giorno si sono esibiti negli Stati Uniti alla versione nazionale della manifestazione di solidarietà [...]

It's no surprise that Adele is rolling in accolades this year considering the triumphant success of her sophomore album 21 . Last night, the British songbird was celebrated with her second-ever nomination for the prestigious Mercury Prize, which awards UK artists for best albums of the yea. While the "Turning Tables" siren may have ultimately lost out to PJ Harvey's Let England Shake , we highly doubt this will be the pop star's last shot at taking home the crown. Check out the Vogue [...]
