my colleague kennedy is here with me for more on the grammy nominations. adrian beyonce is leading the pack. are you surprised that surprised? yes. 9 nominations and she extends her lead. as the most nominated female artist of all time. of course the grammy controversy with, by the own say is how many grammys she goes on to win. she does have $24.00 free grammys already, but she was nominated times in the past, so missed out 47 times. and sometimes in the big states this categories instantly husband jay z. is now tied with legendary producer quincy jones as the most nominated. but the gender gap is closing, and he's only won a head of beyond safe nomination. he has 80, she has 7, you know, so she's catching up pretty ok. but in general, this is really a female dog. you're of nominations is major. that's right. for the 1st time ever,

the female lineups in the rock before mints and country album categories. and the 2nd most nominated artist is who other than taylor swift or swift most as i was nominations for the u.s. stars, a claimed album, functional, slightly more introspective album, which was written and recorded in lockdown. it's a contender for album of the track kartik in which we can take a listen to is in the frame for single of the. yeah, let's have a listen. they need to clean that piano adriane and they also had 6 nominations. and

women also dominate the best new artist, categories, neck in the stallion is probably the front runner in that field where i think we've got our actually footage of maggie in the stallion finding out she had won. she got her 1st grammy nomination with think about your 1st ever grammy nominations. they were just some other fields of congrats. you're feeling good. i'm very happy and there's also another nomination that's making history. even tell us about that. yes, the south korean boy band to be t s can be seen here. reacting to the 1st grammy nomination for a k. pop act hit song dynamite's was nominated for the best pop group performance. the band's 1st all in a single topped the u.s. charts in august. and the band have said that the goal to complete the american

journey with a grammy win. so another thing to watch out for. so they're not going to be happy with just a nomination. so that's the nominees, it's not just about the nominees, though. it's also a lot of talk about who didn't get nominated. tell us about the snubs. that's right . well the biggest surprise is the admission of the canadian singer known as the week. and now you probably heard the song blinding lights, it topped the charts around the world. and in the u.s. it's considered by many to be the sound of the past year. and i'm sure viewers will recognize. i wish i could get it out of my having this track is from the critically acclaimed after hours album. not stop 1600000000

listeners on a popular streaming site 10 times as many as taylor swift, scotty didn't. but all this is converted into 0 nominations and he's not your happy about that. i imagine he's not happy at all and he's tweeted about it. think we can take a look at what he said. the grammys who remain corrupt you owe me my fans. the industry transparency sense of entitlement. ok. so there's been some speculation that this is about the fact that he's playing the halftime. i'm at the super bowl a few days after the grammys and negotiations for him to perform at the grammys, became a bit contentious. the grammys have good night this, but this has been a top pick in the past. the idea that if you perform at the grammys, then you are more likely to get the nominations. wow, that's quite an allegation. well, the grammys will be held on january 31st without the weekend. a drink out of you

know, there is a lot. thank you. when moria europe's biggest refugee camp went up in flames in september, magnum photographer, and read sun? i was there to capture it. has been documenting the lives of asylum seekers for years as work in greece for human faces to stories of desperation. at a time when the approaching winter and the continuing coronavirus crisis make the situation of unsettled migrants even more precarious than ever. athens, a few days before a new covert, 1000 lockdown took effect and read some. i was out taking photos. victoria square has become a makeshift home for many migrants who fled the fire on the island of moria. they've been granted asylum seeker status because he says new asylum laws mean they're left to their own devices. they're no longer entitle to any government support or shelter,

making their situation even worse. sinai has been documenting their fates for years . and he can relate to them because when he was a child, he and his family fled albania, and lived for a time without documentation in athens. the magnum photographer has made refugees and migrants the focus of his work. when fire broke out at the camp in moria, he headed there mama, i remember the exhaustion and the fear in their eyes. but i also saw hope there. morea would finally be over and it would finally get better. like the day after the fire, one of the girls, i photographed 12 year old money from afghanistan, had organized a protest march. first, there were just 20 other children, but then the march will be bigger. people just wanted off the island because it's of the photographers,

a kind of anchor for some here, like masha also from afghanistan. you see by these masses will be far fewer than a woman. when i told her that i'd be leaving again in a few days. she suddenly turned to me and said, before you leave, say goodbye to us. i almost cried in the mirror before you leave, say goodbye to us, is also the title of his planned photo book dedicated to the people whose living situation he's been documenting since 2015. companies, summer to germany and sweden and his photos also depict their arrival. unsettling. it was encouraging to see that a lot of the people who had made it to that point are now standing on their own 2

feet. and that they were able to start a new life in athens and return, i will keep documenting the migrants from the morea camp in their efforts to survive. he wants them to have a chance to cowboy, the stories of the american old west have long held a special place here in europe. think spaghetti western, it's all those cowboy movies shot in italy. then there's lucky only a comic character known as the man who shoots faster than his shadow. he 1st appeared in belgium and 1000 forties and is still popular today. over the years, lucky luke spent translated into dozens of languages and appeared in movies and video games. with more than 300000000 issues sold, like in lucas, the most successful western themed comic series ever. the books are currently

illustrated by down on top of his home in southern france. isn't the wild west, but it does give him some inspiration for his comics. using the pen name dominant all started drawing the comic nearly 2 decades ago. the series was created in 1946 by the belgian illustrator, maurice, and he chose ash, did it take over drawing the tales of the lonesome crime, fighting cowboy, a daunting challenge to demolish. he was poor in the beginning. i am asked him if i could spend 6 months practicing. repeat 1st. i wasn't happy with my drawings. only after i'd done 3 comic books did i feel confident enough to say, i'm the lucky luke cartoonist, who does, you know, totally. asterix creator really wrote the story starting in 1955 since his death in 1977 other it was, traders have taken over the last 3 books were written by julian. he says

it's important to maintain lucky lukes original charm, but he wants to tell new stories. it has to make sense and mean something. today the lucky luke we publish has to be faithful to the tradition. but it also has to be comics they couldn't have made back that book. for one thing the new comics are more diverse. the latest edition costars, a black, cowboy for the 1st time, he's based on historical figures, uncovered in his 4 years of research for the advancement i found out that 25 percent of cowboys were black, and that the vast majority of the others were hispanic. so the john wayne style, blond, cowboy, with blue eyes that hollywood sold us for decades is pure fiction. that's what this comic is about it confronts racism in america, the hard tragic issues of slavery. there's still humor and action

because it's still lucky. luke more socially aware, more diverse. but still lucky, luke, the duo of ashley. and if you are working on the next story for a special edition of the series, $100.00 issue. that's it for now. but don't forget to check us out online at d.f.w. dot com slash culture. you can also find d.w. culture on twitter and facebook. your next move
