Here are the 2024 rock-related Grammy Award winners we didn’t see on TV
There are 94 Grammy Award categories, most of which–including anything deal with rock–never get show on the broadcast. Why? Because CBS wants a mass appeal primetime variety show. Rock doesn’t fit their worldview. Those categories are dealt with in a pre-broadcast ceremony.
Here are your nominees and winners in the rock-related categories. The full list can be found here. Now you don’t have to waste your time watching the show.
