That was before Odom was even ruled eligible as a Lead Actor. I felt the character of Aaron Burr could've been eligible as a Featured Actor like how Judas Iscariot in Jesus Christ Superstar has usually been nominated in that category. When I saw Hamilton back in June (Leslie was actually out the matinee I was at, so I can't really comment on his performance), I did see the complexities in the role almost like a Shakespearean character. But with that being said, it was still more a part of an ensemble. It's just a huge pet peeve of mine to see more ensemble-sized leads win over the main leads.

It was obviously doesn't matter now.

Cinders, what songs does Emily sing on the album?

She sings the majority of Another Round, about 85% of it, I'd say. But like I said, because of last year, I thought everyone who sung a big solo line would be getting nominated. If that hadn't happened last year, I wouldn't have gotten my hopes up. But alas.

Annaleigh Ashford has a whole song to herself, no company to back her up, and she was omitted for "Kinky Boots," too. It's just shocking how little they care when it's not "Hamilton."

Oh please, the hype for Hamilton was so ridiculous that if the producers or record company submitted it as such, the ushers could've gotten a nomination.



As far as I know the Grammys don't refuse individual parts of a submission, unless they won for it previously, so it's the producers or record company that submits the names. So with that I am actually really annoyed about Kinky Boots getting a nomination. Aside from the principal soloists, every one else nominated for already won the Grammy in 2014. The pickings were that slim?

It's just shocking how little they care when it's not "Hamilton."

Look up the history of Grammy winners for this category. There is nothing shocking happening at all. Generally, the award goes to the album that sold the best. There are 83 categories. There is one award for musical theatre. How little they care in general is not shocking at all.

Too bad they didn't get any TV time unlike last year. Congrats, though!

Danielle was a soloist according to the simulcast monitors and the albums'.credentials.

if Beyoncé does not win Album of the Year i will be livid

I loved adeles album, but it came out SOOOO long ago. It just doesn't even make sense why it's nominated for the 2017 Grammy awards when it came out in 2015. Oh well.

yes, 25 was released november of 2015, the grammy calendar is always from October to October. Lemonade deserves the win.

Starts at 8?
