Let's all celebrate diversity but one can't help but think of the disaster of expansion NBA teams and Pro Hockey.
Call me extremely cynical, but ... http://channels.netscape.com/ns/news...&w=RTR&coview= Quote:
THR: THIS YEAR THERE ARE 107 CATEGORIES, UP TWO FROM LAST YEAR; THERE WERE ONLY 28 CATEGORIES IN THE GRAMMYS' FIRST YEAR. IS THERE ANY KIND OF A CEILING AS FAR AS WHAT YOU ADDRESS AT THE GRAMMYS?
Portnow: There is no arbitrary ceiling or quota we've established, so we're not saying we stop at a certain number. We have a process, which is pretty sophisticated, to annually look at the categories we have and make sure that they're relevant and that they're meaningful. So at the same time that we add categories, we also have the ability to remove and combine categories. For example, this year we combined the rock (vocal performance) male and female categories, because, frankly, there were not enough individual entries to warrant having them separate. So it's like an accordion. It can contract and it can also expand. But we would rather be inclusive rather than exclusive.

) I refuse to watch (although they are up for another instrumental grammy and the Rush in Rio DVD 
) but they'll probably get "beat" by some gangsta idiot.
