Either would be likely to see these Grammy noms as Recording Academy members giving a vote in favor of the comics being “un-canceled.”. This marks his first Grammy nomination since 2015.īurnham has not come any particular fire, but both Chappelle and Louis CK have made hay out of being “canceled” - the former just this October this fall for jokes and commentary in his latest Netflix special that were widely criticized as transphobic, and the latter for sexual misconduct allegations that derailed his career. Louis CK comes into this ceremony with three prior nominations and two wins, all in the comedy album category, like his new one is. So his nominations come for best music film for the Netflix special and for best song written for visual media for “All Eyes on Me.” The Grammy monitors seem to have determined that “Inside” is primarily a TV special and not an album, despite the popularity of “Inside (The Songs)” on CD and vinyl as well as digital download.

Previously, he received three nominations and three wins, all in the comedy album category, in three successive years, 2017-19.īurnham has two nominations, and they’re his first Grammy nods, so he has no prior history of being placed in a category by the Recording Academy. Louis CK is up for best comedy album for “Sincerely Louis CK,” but that’s where the predictability with these nominees ends, as the other two were considered… either too good for comedy, or not sufficiently funny for the division? Only the Grammys’ nomination review committees know for sure.Ĭhappelle is up in the best spoken word category for the album “8:46,” a nomination he shares with Amir Sulaiman. But if you think those three share the same category, think again. Some of the biggest names in comedy had their latest albums nominated for Grammys as the list of contenders was rolled out Tuesday, including Louis CK, Dave Chappelle and Bo Burnham, who each have their latest albums put in contention by the Recording Academy.
