No, I'm not bothered they won the Grammy, at all. I'm moreso bothered that the indie reward that's supposed to be giving new things a chance, seems to not be able to come up with something a little more formula breaking than what the Grammy's seemingly picked as a hollow gesture.

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent". Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta declined the role for the same reason. When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.
Al Pacino = God
