Grammy Awards: Olivia Rodrigo dominates nominations for 2022

Lilia Rodrigo is the front-runner for next years Grammy Awards. She has received nominations for Evermore, her second consecutive album-of-the-year nomination. She was nominated for the award earlier in the year for Folklore, her companion album. Eight nominations were received each by Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo. Billie Eilish is closely followed by Olivia Rodrigo with seven nominations each.

The shortlists for the main categories was expanded from eight to ten nominees for the first-time, with nearly 22,000 songs and albums submitted. Harvey Mason, Jr., Recording Academy CEO, stated that “We are living in a period of extraordinary growth music.” “Over 60,000 songs are being released every day.” There is so much more music. There is so much more excellence to be recognized and celebrated.

The Grammys also made sweeping changes to their rules for 2022, after last year’s controversy over The Weeknd being shut out of the nominations.Organisers subsequently scrapped dozens of anonymous committees that had the ability to overrule votes in 72 of the 86 categories. The committees were kept secret and accused of vote-rigging favoritism, racism, and favouritism. In protest, several high-profile artists, including Drake and Frank Ocean, boycotted the ceremonies. This year, all nominees were decided by rank-and file voters. This seems to have helped artists with broad appeal like Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett, whose duets album Love For Sale received six nominations. This year’s field looks as follows: Album of the Year – Jon BatisteTony Bennett and Lady Gaga – Love For SaleJustin bieber ft Daniel Caesar & GiveonLeave The Door Open – Silk SonicBest new artist Arooj Aftab Jimmie Allen Baby Keem FinneasGlass AnimalsJapanese BreakfastOlivia RodrigoSaweetie

In an apparent gesture of solidarity, Ariana Grande and DojaCat declined to submit duets to the star for the awards. Kanye West didn’t get the memo. His single Hurricane, featuring Lil Baby and The Weeknd, made it onto The Grammys’ best melodic rap song list.

Taylor Swift also withheld Fearless’ re-recorded version from consideration. The album of year winner is the original, which was released in 2008. Dua Lipa did not submit her hit single Levitating to avoid being recognized by DaBaby, who made homophobic remarks earlier in the year. The Academy also accused Deborah Dugan of corruption and insider trading. The Academy said that votes were overruled and artists were promoted to shortlists without merit. This was evident when The Weeknd, R&B singer, was left out of the nominations list despite his single Blinding Lights becoming one of the century.

He responded by tweeting, “The Grammys are still corrupt.” “You owe me, the industry transparency, and my fans.” “You owe me, my fans, and the industry transparency. She wrote, “You can take a girl out of the genre (country), but you can’t take the country out the girl,”

‘Jawan’ to mint Rs 70 crore on opening day

 

​With a 5 am show in Kolkata, a 6 am one in Jaipur and tickets flying off the proverbial shelf, Bollywood theatrical releases — most recent being “Gadar 2” and “OMG 2″ — are raking it in.Mumbai-based trade expert Komal Nahta agreed with Biji’s estimate.”The situation is crazy across single-screen theatres and multiplexes both. It is difficult to predict the business. It will at least do Rs 70 crore on day one (in India),” Nahta told PTI.In Delhi, the film releases ahead of the G20 Summit on September 9-10 with several heads of state, including US President Joe Biden, set to attend the event. While the city will remain open during the weekend, restrictions will be imposed on a small part of the NDMC area.Bijli said he is not worried about the theatrical business taking a hit in central Delhi because of G20 restrictions. It would mean four PVR theatres — PVR Plaza, Rivoli, Odeon and ECX Chanakyapuri — shut during the summit.”They are single screen theatres with a total capacity of about 2,000 seats so that really wouldn’t have much of an impact because the loss for that will be compensated by the fact that Delhi has a four-day weekend,” he said.About 30-35 per cent of the film’s business will come from the South, which again is bigger than the numbers made by “Pathaan”, added Bijli.The buzz around “Jawan” is also high in south India as a majority of the cast and crew hail from the region, said Chennai-based trade analyst Ramesh Bala.”The advance booking is looking good all over India, certainly so in the South as well. There are early morning shows in the south. It is a big release here for all the states combined because the cast and crew are from the South.”So the buzz is more. Looking at the advance booking response for the film, I think on day one, the film should do Rs 20 to 25 crore from the South market, and overall, it should do Rs 70 to 75 crore across India. If the movie is reasonably good, then the lifetime business of the movie will be Rs 800 to Rs 1,000 crore,” Bala told PTI.It’s not just in the South.Theatre chain Miraj Cinema, which has 182 plus screens across India, said it has already sold 28,000 tickets.”Due to overwhelming public demand, we’ve broken new ground by adding a 5 am show for a Hindi film in Kolkata, a first in our cinema’s history. Jaipur will experience the earliest screening at 6.05 am in Hindi, setting a record for the city,” Amit Sharma, MD of Miraj Entertainment Ltd, said in a statement.Senior distributor and exhibitor Raj Bansal, said many theatres in Rajasthan will also hold early morning shows of “Jawan” due to the unprecedented response.”After almost 30 years in Rajasthan, we are having 6 am shows for ‘Jawan’. In the past, this happened with Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘Hum’,” Bansal, director of Jaipur’s three-screen multiplex Entertainment Paradise, told PTI.In Mumbai, Gaiety-Galaxy, a prominent single-screen theatre, about 90 per cent of its seats are sold out.”Almost 80 to 90 per cent booking is done so far; by Thursday it will be houseful. We are happy with the golden run of movies in theatres, especially in single-screen theatres. I think because of ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Gadar 2’, the business in single screen has revived. The industry has bounced back in a big way. With ‘Jawan’ things are looking positive,” Manoj Desai, executive director of Gaiety, Galaxy and Maratha Mandir Cinema, told PTI.As screens open up for advance bookings in various cities, the Tamil and Telugu versions of the film are also seeing enthusiastic support although the Hindi version is naturally taking the lead, Ashish Saksena, COO – Cinemas, BookMyShow, said in a statement.”What is interesting to note is that the Hindi language version of the film has seen maximum interest from markets in South and East India such as Hyderabad, Kolkata, Bengaluru and Chennai amongst others,” he added.According to Bijli, 2023, particularly the months of July-August, have been great for the exhibition sector with the back-to-back successes of both Hollywood and Hindi movies such as “Mission Impossible 7”, “Oppenheimer”, “Gadar 2”, “OMG 2” and “Dream Girl 2″.”Movie going (experience) has come back. ‘Jawan’ has a lot going for itself. The film has Shah Rukh Khan, who has delivered ‘Pathaan’, a Rs 525 crore movie,” he said.That film releases on Janmashtami, when many people celebrate the birth of Lord Krishna, and a weekend follows one day later is expected to boost sales.Rajkot-based distributor Ajay Bagdai said the advance booking for “Jawan” looks promising as Gujarat will have a holiday weekend due to Janmashtami.”At my theatre in Rajkot, we have 1,100 seats and so far we have sold about 750 tickets, only for September 7. On the first day, the pan-India business should be at least around Rs 50 to 60 crore,” Bagdai added. 

Shah Rukh Khan’s next movie “Jawan” is expected to outperform the opening day grossing of “Pathaan” from earlier in the year. It is projected that Jawan should reach nearly 70 crore in earnings on its premiere day at the theaters.
