Grammys? new age of diversity makes instant, if clumsy, impact
This Is America â?? a song whose impact might be better measured by its affecting viral video â?? became the first-ever rap song to take out the major record and song of the year categories, while Cardi B became the first solo female rapper to win best rap album with her chart-topping Invasion of Privacy. </p>  Kacey Musgraves’ Golden Hour was named album of the year.Credit:AP And not just the awards, but the stage, looked to service the Academy’s message of increased diversity. Pop star Camila Cabello, who performed a colourful tribute to her Cuban heritage, later declared herself the first Latina to open the awards telecast, while lengthy showcases honoured the careers of Dolly Parton and Diana Ross. In the night’s biggest surprise Michelle Obama joined Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Jada Pinkett Smith and host Alicia Keys onstage to echo the absent Queen Beyonce and declare: “Who run the world? Girls!” <span class="_2wzgv D5idv _3lVFK">Loading Of course, a white male voting core isn’t the only PR problem the Grammys have faced in recent years. Despite their clout, the awards have a justified reputation for misreading the cultural zeitgeist (who can forget Bruno Mars’ lightweight pop beating Kendrick Lamar’s eventual Pulitzer winner to the top prize last year?). Rapper Drake seemed to acknowledge as much in a viral acceptance speech that touched on the Academy’s taste-making gaps, decrying a voting base who “might not understand what a mixed race kid from Canada has to say, or a fly Spanish girl from New York”.  Drake accepts the award for best rap song for God’s Plan.Credit:AP “Look, if there’s people who have regular jobs who are coming out in the rain, in the snow, spending their hard-earned money to buy tickets to come to your shows, you don’t need this right here, I promise you, you already won,” he told his fellow nominees and aspiring musicians after claiming best rap song for God’s Plan, and appeared to be promptly cut off once producers caught wind of his message. It was a crowd-pleasing dig at the Grammys’ bizarre enduring influence, as was Childish Gambino’s (also known as actor Donald Glover) awkward no-show, but for once the top winners weren’t so contentious. <span class="_2wzgv D5idv _3lVFK">Loading This Is America‘s dual wins could be seen as a corrective to last year’s Kendrick-shaped oversight, but there’s no denying the power in a protest song that examines the black experience in an ever-intolerant landscape. Musgraves’ genre-pushing Golden Hour, meanwhile, was universally well-received, a warmly idiosyncratic country collection that already claimed the CMA’s top prize last November. The luck, meanwhile, was mixed for the major Aussie nominees with Melbourne hitmaker Sarah Aarons, up for song of the year for her co-write on Zedd and Maren Morris’ The Middle, pipped by Gambino, and Losing It, the house banger from Gold Coast-raised pro surfer-turned-producer Fisher, beaten by Silk City and Dua Lipa’s pop hit Electricity. But Hugh Jackman inched his way closer to becoming Australia’s first EGOT, earning a Grammy for best compilation soundtrack for The Greatest Showman, to go alongside his previous Emmy and Tony wins.
