While accepting the award for Best Rap Album at last night’s Grammys, Kanye West gave a clinic in How To Make The Producers Stop Playing You Off When You Still Have About Half Of Your Acceptance Speech To Get Through. Of course, the fact that he was paying tribute to his deceased mother probably helped him win sympathy points from the showrunners, a fact that’s making me wonder just how many lengthy acceptance speeches at the upcoming Oscars are going to be puncutated by well-timed tributes to family members who passed away “recently.”
