Music's biggest night is on Sunday.
The 2020 awards season has largely focused on film and TV so far, but now attention is finally turning to the music industry with the 62nd annual Grammy Awards.
Lizzo is leading the year’s list of nominees with eight total nominations, including for record of the year, album of the year, song of the year and best new artist. Following Lizzo are Billie Eilish and Lil Nas X, each with six nominations. According to the New York Times, Dugan was removed from her position on Jan. 16 — 10 days before the Grammy Awards telecast — due to “concerns raised to the Recording Academy board of trustees, including a formal allegation of misconduct by a senior female member of the Recording Academy team.” Dugan had been appointed to the position in August.
Dugan then filed a lawsuit against the Recording Academy on Jan. 21 to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on charges of discrimination. Court documents show Dugan believes her ousting from the Academy was in retaliation over her Dec. 22, 2019, report to human resources, which also alleges that she was sexually assaulted by general counsel to the Academy and former member and chair of the Academy’s board of trustees, Joel Katz.
