A few of us were discussing this earlier in the week. An interesting point, but boy oh boy when it's the "other" way, usually it's ok. I have no idea if it was, wasn't, should have been, etc. Just wondering.......

I wonder what would have happened if the same thing happened, only lets reverse it a bit, what it B had won the award, Taylor had lost....and lets just say, Toby Keith got up and stormed the stage, grabbed the microphone away and stated that Taylor deserved the award. I have a feeling much more would have been made of it, and the entire racisim issue would have been mentioned! Where is Al, why hasn't he commented on this issue? Bet he would have had a few things to say if my scenerio of the reverse had happened! He would be all over it...
