listen. i try and be open-minded and everything. but i can't for a minute understand *why* she would think anaconda ought to be up for 'best music video'. it's just an absurd position.

that said, i don't think anything that was nominated this year should have been nominated, either. and i understand the culture has gotten very stupid over the last fifteen years. but, let's take a look at some of the videos that were nominated or won in the 90s:

smashing pumpkins - tonight, tonight
nine inch nails - the perfect drug
beck - the new pollution
foo fighters - big me
weezer - buddy holly
rem - everybody hurts
pearl jam - jeremy
peter gabriel - digging in the dirt

even acknowledging how mindless and stupid music videos are across the board nowadays, does she really think the video deserves that kind of recognition? due to what, exactly? the choreography?

if you're young, google some of those. that's what a 'best video' ought to look like.
