The Grammys are under fire for falling woefully short of the Time’s Up movement’s “gender equity” standards. In fact, as the New York Daily News points out, only one woman won any main event award Sunday night, and for some reason many of the female nominees didn’t perform solo, like most of their male counterparts. To make matters worse, leading up to the event, a research team did a little digging and found that Sunday night was not an anomaly. Oops. But not to worry, the president of the Recording Academy has an explanation that #MeToo/#TimesUp activists are sure to buy.
As the NY Daily News highlights, the only female winner of any main event award was Alessia Cara, winner of the Best New Artist award. All of the other categories were “overwhelmingly dominated by men.”
