Lost in the news of Ray Charles posthumously winning 8 Grammys is the fact that Led Zeppelin won a Grammy under the banner of "lifetime achievement award":
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6959970/
Before I go on, I should admit that I'm a huge Zep fan, and consider their first 6 albums (Zep 1-Physical graffiti) among the best albums of all time. That being said, I can't believe that at no point during their reign as THE rock band (which essentially created hard rock as we know it today) did they win a Grammy. Not that I ever thought that the Grammys were indicative of good music, but you would think that at some point between 1969 and 1975 they would have thought that perhaps Zeppelin was worthy of a Grammy for something. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised since it wasn't until Bob Dylan's "Time Out of Mind" album (released in late '97) that he won a Grammy. I happen to think that album is ok, but considering Dylan is credited with writing some of the most influential songs ever, you would have thought he would have won something in the 60s or 70s when he was making history (pick the song or albumn. Certainly out of the following list he should have had one best song: Like a Rolling Stone, Blowin in the Wind, Subterrean Homesick Blues and The Times They Are A Changin).
To me this all goes back to the absolute stupidity of these awards in the first place. I'm going to lump the Academy Awards in with the Grammys which both appear to be trumped-up, self-congratulatory awards aimed at sucking more money out of the public (I don't know enough about the Emmys or Tonys to complain about them, but I'm sure they're no better). My biggest problem with the awards is that they purport to reward the best, but even they recognize it isn't the case. Every year the Academy is righting some wrong from a previous year. An actor/actress/director rarely wins for the actual performance they're nominated for. Russell Crowe won an Oscar more for his work in LA Confidential and The Insider than he did for Gladiator, Renee Zellweger won more for Chicago and Birdgette Jones then Cold Mountain, Nicole Kidman won at least as much for Moulin Rouge then she did for The Hours and I'm sure Scorsese will win best director not because of his work in The Aviator, but for what he's accomplished in his life as a filmmaker. I could go on, but I'm sure you get the idea.
It's also absurd to pick "the best" in something as subjective as film or music. How do you differentiate between Joe Pesci's performance in Goodfellas (which was awesome) and Jack Nicholson's as the Joker in Batman (equally awesome)? The Shawshank Redemption probably would have won best picture had it come out in a weak year (Shakespeare in Love anyone?) but lost in a strong year that included both Pulp Fiction and the winner, Forrest Gump. It becomes even more absurd when studios rush to release films in a couple of cities at the end of the year just so it's eligible for that year's Academy Awards.
If you insist on having some kind of awards show (I guess there isn't anything better to put on TV, especially now that football season is over) make all of them lifetime achievement awards. Every year recognize one actor and actress or musician for outstanding work that they've done over a series of movies/albums. As for best picture/best song/best album, maybe we could take a page out of the American Idol playbook and have a nation vote on which one they think is the best(since the word "best" is subjective by definition, the best anything should be the one that the most people believe is the best).
