Americana Awards Make a Statement by Nominating Only Women for Artist of the Year

Article here. Excerpt:

'The annual Americana Honors & Awards have faced mounting criticism that they, too, like the Grammys, have seen a preponderance of male winners taking the stage. Last year, the much beloved Brandi Carlile and Margo Price were both nominated in the top three categories — artist, album and song of the year — and many believed it was Carlile’s year, especially. So there was notable groaning in the Americana ranks when those women walked away empty-handed while Jason Isbell won another three awards, like clockwork.

This year, the Americanas have made sure, if nothing else, that a guy won’t win artist of the year — by only nominating women in the category.'

there should be regular mangina awards. golden knee pads should be trophy. superior arse kissing should be the main criteria. plenty-o-nominees out there.
