The Grammy's have often been criticized for being old-fashioned, pandering to much to what is commercially succesful instead of artistically meaningful and [[AwardSnub neglecting and ignoring countless works and artists who deserved to receive an award]]. In that regard they are not much different compared to any other award show. Though, contrary to some other award shows, they have tried to made up for it by introducing a ConsolationAward called the Grammy Hall Of Fame Award, which awards records of particular historical or quality importance who are at least 25 years old.

** ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': In ''Recap/TheSimpsonsS5E1HomersBarbershopQuartet'' Homer wins a Grammy, but gives it to a bell boy:
-->'''Homer:''' Here. ''(hands bellhop his statue)''
-->'''Bellhop:''' Oh boy, an awards statue! Oh wait, it's a Grammy. ''(throws it down the balcony)''
-->'''Man:''' Hey, don't throw your garbage down here! ''(throws it back up and Homer and knocks him out)''
** Eddie Vedder (Music/PearlJam), who won a Grammy in 1996 for ''Best Hard Rock Performance'', commented on stage:
--> ''I don't know what this means. I don't think it means anything.''
** Music/SineadOConnor and Maynard James Keenan (Music/{{Tool}}) refused to pick up their awards or attend the ceremony. Keenan said:
--> ''I think the Grammys are nothing more than some gigantic promotional machine for the music industry. They cater to a low intellect and they feed the masses. They don't honor the arts or the artist for what he created. It's the music business celebrating itself. That's basically what it's all about.''
* TimeMarchesOn: The Grammy's are named after the gramophone, a late 1890s and early 20th century musical instrument that nobody listens to anymore and was already old-fashioned in 1959, when the show was created.
* WorldMusic: There used to be two separate awards for "Best Traditional World Music Album" and "Best Contemporary World Music Album", but they have been merged to "Best World Music Album".
* TakeThat: Like any other awards show the Grammy's haven't been spared from criticism:

[[caption-width-right:250:The highest achievement in the music industry.]]
The '''Grammy Awards''', or simply '''Grammys''', are issued by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) in the United States. The name comes from the shape of the awarded statue, a small gilded gramophone. As with all of the major awards shows, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Grammy_Award_categories the Grammys give far more awards each year]] than the PrimeTime telecast can accommodate; technical categories and awards for less popular genres are distributed in a separate ceremony.
A Spanish-language counterpart, the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_Grammy_Awards Latin Grammys]], was launched in 2000.

!!The Grammy Awards provide examples of:
* DeadAir: The director of the show cut short Music/FrankSinatra's acceptance speech for receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 1994 ceremony. Music/BillyJoel responded by stopping his performance of "The River of Dreams" in the middle. He sat there, grinning at the audience, while pretending to check his watch, and quipped, "valuable advertising time going by...dollars...dollars...dollars..." After wasting around 30 seconds, he resumed playing the song.
* {{Hologram}}: The performance of Music/{{Madonna}} with Music/{{Gorillaz}} at the 2006 ceremony.
* OddCouple: Music/{{Eminem}} was called out as "homophobic". His reaction? Performs "Stan" with Music/EltonJohn (who is homosexual) at the 2001 ceremony. At the end, they hugged and Eminem gave the audience the finger.
* ReactionShot: As most televised award ceremonies. After the name of the award winner is announced, the camera cuts to the attending nominees who don't win the award.
** When someone is performing onstage, the camera also cuts to the audience, especially the attending celebrities and nominees, from time to time.
* RollOutTheRedCarpet: Before and after the ceremony.
