Grammys Gone Wild

I haven't really watched the Grammys for years, but tonight Brent was flipping back and forth between the awards ceremony and his HGTV, and I have a question: When did they move from a semi-respectable formal event into an unruly Hollywood party?

At the very least I noticed that recipients of the lifetime acheivement awards no longer get the courtesy of making acceptance speeches, and instead get to smile into the camera and wave.

How insulting!

Update: The Recording Academy redeemed themselves quite a bit by having the cajones to name "Not Ready to Make Nice" as Song of the Year and Record of the Year.
