Hi everyone,
I wonder why Hackney Diamonds wasn't nominated in the Grammy's this year...
I also see that the Stones won 4 Grammy's during their career while Bruce Springsteen won 20, Jay Z 23, Kanye West also 23, Beyonce 32...
WHY???
The Grammys were founded in 1958, before the Stones existed.
I can't really explain why the Stones just snagged four wins.

One reason is that it's an American award and all musicians you mentioned are Americans. But really...who cares?

Grammy's deadline didn't fit for Hackney Diamonds.
"The eligibility period for the upcoming 66th Annual Grammy Awards is October 1, 2022 – September 15, 2023" - [en.Wikipedia.org] . But Hackney Diamonds was released October 20, 2023.

As I understand Keith is an American citizen and Ronnie an Irish citizen. Sir Michael, due to tax reasons, is a citizen of nowhere. Is the Grammy's an American price award or is it open to the world?
It's a bit odd that they are nominated for the Brit Awards since none of them are British. But I guess that how it works in this new brave world.

For what it's worth, Ronnie hasn't lived in Ireland for decades. I don't believe Keith is an actual citizen. I believe he stated he couldn't vote, though he might be able to now! All three are still British citizens.

looking at the complete list of Album Of The Year award winners (and nomminees), I get the impression the Grammys are not made for rock music…

At this point in the movie, they don't need recognition, right?

Keith would’ve first been eligible to naturalise years ago. He didn’t bother then, so I’m not why he would now.

You’re talking nonsense. They’re all British citizens and, therefore, hold a British passport; one holds two, in fact. Where they reside - in their individual cases - has nothing to do with their citizenship and nationality.
