The 60th Annual Grammy Awards premiered January 28th.

Yes, I enjoyed James Corden as host as much as a person could. Yes, I enjoyed another stunting politically charged performance by Kendrick Lamar. Yes, I enjoyed Kesha’s performance that tested my willpower not to cry. Yes, I enjoyed Cardi B and Bruno Mars. Yes, I enjoyed Childish Gambino, Lady Gaga, and P!nk.

There were a lot of great things that came from this year’s Grammys. But when it came to certain awards, I was stunned by who the Recording Academy chose.

Let me say a few things before I start this criticism that may seem overbearing without a disclaimer.

Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran are incredibly talented artists. They’re musical geniuses in their own unique ways. I do think that they deserve the awards they were given because of their creativity and ability to bring groups together to celebrate their music.

Try telling me you didn’t have a dance party to "24K" or "Perm" or have an emotional experience to nearly any of Ed Sheeran’s songs.

Bruno Mars even made history that night with six total awards. This challenges a record set by Michael Jackson for the most awards won in a single night; he still holds the record at eight. There are numerous other accomplishments that are explained in this Billboard article as well.

So they’re deserving and brilliant, and I congratulate them! But when you look back at certain categories, some of the winners seem odd.

Let’s start with Album of the Year. Nominees included Bruno Mars, Kendrick Lamar, Childish Gambino, Jay-Z, and Lorde. First of all, congrats to Lorde for being the only female artist nominated in this category this year.

"Melodrama" was written as Lorde tried to find closure from the awkward transition from teen to adult. Kendrick and Jay-Z made political and personal statements with their albums. Childish Gambino didn’t even have fun producing his album, as he was struggling at this point in his life. Yet, he says that at the same moment, so is the whole country, so maybe it can provide closure to others. Bruno’s album ultimately functions around sex and women.

While there’s no problem with him writing music about sex and women, there were just better albums nominated. I’m not saying who should have won in his place, but it just shouldn’t have been Bruno.

Record of the Year tells practically the same story. “That’s What I Like” was up against political songs “The Story of O.J.” and “Humble”. I really just think that the Recording Academy didn’t have to pick a song that’s literally about what he likes sexually from a woman, especially when these masterpieces are sitting right next to it.

Song of the Year gets on my nerves a bit. Logic’s “1-800-273-8255” was his one of his two nominations for the year. The impact this song has had this year is indisputable, and it bothers me that despite the context of the song, the video, and the monologues he performs at the end of each performance about acceptance and suicide awareness, “That’s What I Like” won.

Just think about it; a song about sexual pleasures from a woman won over a song that allocated against suicide.

Then there’s Best Pop Solo Performance and Best Pop Vocal Album, both won by Ed Sheeran. “Shape of You” is another song about a woman’s body. What blows my mind is that it won against Kesha, Lady Gaga, and Lana Del Rey, women who have allocated in these times of another women's rights movement.

It won against Kesha’s fight song, the song she wrote to her abuser. It was the song that has led so many women, both celebrities and non, speak out against the sexual misconduct that is so prevalent in society. Lady Gaga is also a victim of this abuse.

It absolutely baffles me.

I don’t think that Ed Sheeran isn’t talented; that’s not why he doesn’t deserve these. It’s because the Recording Academy thought that a song that spoke on the shape of a woman’s body was appropriate to award against a song that is about a rape survivor and her message to the abuser.

Absolutely baffles me.

I know there’s more than context and lyrics that go into the decision-making of the Recording Academy. But the Academy only shows their support for the political world in the performances that they allow on the stage. They let Kesha perform “Praying” so, obviously, that’s the only recognition it deserved.

Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran are musical geniuses. I don’t deny that, and I won’t attempt to take that away from them. But I don’t know if the Academy realized that by awarding these songs and albums, instead of political pieces and rape pieces, they’re telling people that they don’t care.

This doesn’t mean I believe that Kendrick Lamar deserved every one of his eight nominations. There are cases where, sure, Bruno and Ed had the better music and times where they didn’t.

Congratulations to all the winners, but screw the Academy. I’m going to go listen to whatever music I please.

Award shows be damned.
