The Best Music Video GRAMMY deserves an overhaul
[]
The FADER
Lumping Best Music Video into the same category as Best Children’s Album doesn’t seem to have any meaningful rationale.
Back in the day, a music video was nice to have, but not essential for an artist.
The same way music videos have moved to new mediums, maybe it’s time for the Best Music Video Grammy to move to a new field.
Now, I’m not necessarily saying the GRAMMYs should immediately drop Best Music Video in the general field and let everyone vote together, but a possible solution could be to move Best Music Video into the Package, Notes, and Historical field — which includes Best Recording Package and Best Album Cover and only has four categories.
Folding Best Music Video into the Package field would consolidate the extra-musical aspects of album-making under a single grouping, minimizing the risk of qualified voters being unfairly blocked from making their opinions heard.
