Admittedly the Grammys are the only awards show I consistently watch every year. The main reason being the awards are less the point. You essentially get to watch what is being nominated, which is impossible to do for the Oscars or Emmys. I don’t think clips cut it and I don’t even remember how much they do of that. I probably care more about who is nominated/wins in the TV Academy but even there, it has many limits. Meanwhile the Oscars feel less relevant each year. The middle class type movies that used to win have now moved to TV. (The Queen’s Gambit strikes me as Oscar bait except it’s not a movie. 20 years ago it would have been.) All this to say it doesn’t surprise me the Grammys are more successful as an evening of entertainment.

As a regular GLTS watcher, seeing them shouted out here is great. More people should watch!
