Recording Academy Chief Harvey Mason Jr. on 63rd Annual Grammy Nominations: ‘We Really Are Trying to Land on Quality’

There are a certain amount of nominations that we can give out. The voting body really determines where those nominations go. We take it very seriously. We review every bit of music that is submitted. From year to year, it is really hard to predict who is going to be nominated and who’s not. I personally wish we could give everybody a nomination, but there are only a certain amount of slots. There were some amazing records that did not get nominated.

We don’t sit down and decide we have to have this person and we have to have that person; We have to have that genre; and we have to have this race. We really are trying to land on quality. In my experience, it’s not really been about trying to even the playing field for every different group and make sure that everyone’s included. It’s really about trying to highlight quality and excellence. We really hope that is a diverse group; that it represents a lot of genres.

No. I just observed. I have been a voting member in the past [but didn’t think it would be appropriate this year because of my new position]. I really trust our voting body. I really trust the creatives that are in those rooms [on the various nominations review committees] to make good choices. They are experts in the field. I’m supportive of any chance to honor good music.The best rock performance category was incredible.

Quality. 🤔 Yummy? Ya missed.

If Yummy is quality he must have gotten something good. 🙄🤮
