<p>With a Black Lives Matter protest song and one of the year's hottest hits, Beyonce will strive Sunday to end her streak of snubs at the Grammys, as the music world attempts to turn the page on a devastating 2020.</p>

<p>The normally glitzy gala will be toned down, like all major awards show, to a primarily virtual affair, with a mix of live and pre-taped performances in compliance with restrictions of the coronavirus era, which left the industry flailing and forced the ceremony to be pushed back.</p>

<p>The 63rd annual Grammys falls nearly a year to the day after venues big and small were forced to close, as Covid-19 infections flared across the United States.</p>

<p>Ahead of Sunday's show, Beyonce -- whose repeated losses in the top categories have stirred heated controversy -- leads the pack with nine nods, followed by Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa and Roddy Ricch with six each.</p>

<p>Beyonce is the most nominated female artist ever with 79, tied with Paul McCartney and just one behind the duo with the most nods: her husband, Jay-Z, and Quincy Jones, who each have 80.</p>

<p>Her sweeping "Black Parade" -- released in June amid explosive nationwide anti-racism protests after another spate of deadly police violence targeting African Americans -- is up for Record and Song of the Year honours.</p>

<p>Many critics nevertheless favor the chances of Lipa, who took an ultimately successful risk in dropping a sparkly disco ball of a dance album just as the pandemic took hold.</p>

<p>- Hot girls and women who rock -</p>

<p>Onetime Grammy darling Swift bagged a handful of nominations for releasing the surprise cottagecore quarantine album "folklore," which earned the pop shapeshifter commercial and critical acclaim. Rapper Ricch -- who won a trophy last year for his collaboration with the late artist Nipsey Hussle -- has six chances at Grammys gold, including for Song of the Year, which honors songwriting, for his hit "The Box."</p>

<p>Bluesy rocker Brittany Howard -- known for fronting the band Alabama Shakes -- seized the spotlight on her own with her first solo album "Jaime," which earned five nominations. She is among the top contenders in the rock categories, which for the first time are almost all dominated by women.</p>

<p>Last year's big winner Billie Eilish could strike gold again, with Post Malone, Justin Bieber and rapper DaBaby all also in the mix. And "hot girl summer" ruler Megan Thee Stallion is likely to slay, with four nominations including for Best New Artist.</p>

<p>The remix of her wildly popular song "Savage" featuring Beyonce is up for several awards including Record of the Year -- a collaboration that helped Queen Bey jump to the front of the pack.</p>

<p>Also eyeing Best New Artist is Phoebe Bridgers, the Californian indie artist who is one of the women leading the charge in the rock categories. Fiona Apple -- whose album "Fetch The Bolt Cutters" was hailed by critics -- is also leading that charge, after many years when women were sidelined by the Recording Academy's voters.</p>

<p>In addition to Beyonce's Black power anthem, Lil Baby's "The Bigger Picture" -- released during the summer's Black Lives Matter protests -- is twice-nominated. The soulful 23-year-old H.E.R. picked up a Song of the Year nod for her BLM-themed song "I Can't Breathe."</p>

<p>And Mickey Guyton made history this year as the first Black woman ever nominated in a country category, for her song "Black Like Me."</p>

<p>But it wouldn't be the Grammys without controversy: The Weeknd has pledged to stop submitting music for awards consideration after he surprisingly received no nominations, despite a big year commercially.</p>

<p>The Canadian superstar follows in the path of artists like Frank Ocean and Drake, who have turned up their nose at an institution they say fails Black artists and women.</p>

<p>- Can performances seduce viewers? -</p>

<p>Though he was shut out of the general field categories, "Watermelon Sugar" singer Harry Styles is one of many A-listers set to perform, as organizers try to draw eyes to a lengthy awards show. Last month's Golden Globes posted abysmal ratings, with 62 per cent fewer viewers tuning in compared to last year.</p>

<p>Sunday's show is the first produced by Ben Winston, who is taking over after Ken Ehrlich helmed it for four decades -- and sometimes clashed with stars over their performances, notably Ariana Grande.</p>

<p>Megan Thee Stallion is likely to wow on stage as is Cardi B, who will perform despite not submitting her work for consideration this year.</p>

<p>That duo's summer smash "WAP" could have been among the top nominees but rapper Cardi reportedly held it back for consideration next year -- when she has hinted she will release an album.&nbsp;</p>

<p>If they perform the risque ode to female desire anyway, it could be one of the night's most jaw-dropping moments: the bop drips with sexual metaphors that would certainly be censored on a network broadcast.</p>

<p>Swift, Ricch, Eilish, Lipa, Malone and DaBaby are also slated to perform, along with the South Korean sensation BTS, who nabbed a pop nomination. Latin trap superstar Bad Bunny will also appear, as well as country stars Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris and Guyton.</p>

Celebrity website TMZ, the New York Post`s Page Six and multiple entertainment sites on Friday cited unidentified sources close to the couple, sometimes known in the media as J-Rod, as saying the pair had called off their engagement.<br />

<p>Hollywood superstar Robert Downey Jr. and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani landed on the list of nominees on Friday for Razzie Awards, an annual shaming of what voters consider the year`s worst films and performances.<br />
<br />
Downey Jr. was in the running for worst actor for playing the title role in 'Dolittle',&nbsp;a movie remake about a doctor who can talk to animals.<br />
"Dolittle," released by Comcast Corp`s Universal Pictures, tied for the most Razzie nominations with six overall including the worst picture. It will compete with Netflix`s Polish erotic drama "365 Days," which also received six Razzie nods.<br />
<br />
Others contending for the worst film included "Music" directed by musician Sia about a young girl with autism and a movie remake of the TV show "Fantasy Island."<br />
<br />
Mike Lindell, chief executive of widely advertised company MyPillow and a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump, was nominated for "Absolute Proof," a film featuring baseless claims of fraud in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. It also is competing for worst picture.<br />
Giuliani made the Razzies list for his brief appearance in Sacha Baron Cohen`s mockumentary "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm." The former mayor was filmed in a hotel room with an actress pretending to be a reporter. Giuliani has said nothing inappropriate happened.<br />
<br />
The tongue-in-cheek Razzies, created in 1980, serve as an antidote to Hollywood’s glitzy Academy Awards ceremony. Winners of the Razzies will be announced on April 24, the night before this year`s Oscars.<br />

Hollywood superstar Robert Downey Jr. and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani landed on the list of nominees on Friday for Razzie Awards, an annual shaming of what voters consider the year`s worst films and performances. Downey Jr. was in the running for worst actor for playing the title role in 'Dolittle', a movie remake about a doctor who can talk to animals. "Dolittle," released by Comcast Corp`s Universal Pictures, tied for the most Razzie nominations with six overall including the worst picture. It will compete with Netflix`s Polish erotic drama "365 Days," which also received six Razzie nods. Others contending for the worst film included "Music" directed by musician Sia about a young girl with autism and a movie remake of the TV show "Fantasy Island." Mike Lindell, chief executive of widely advertised company MyPillow and a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump, was nominated for "Absolute Proof," a film featuring baseless claims of fraud in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. It also is competing for worst picture. Giuliani made the Razzies list for his brief appearance in Sacha Baron Cohen`s mockumentary "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm." The former mayor was filmed in a hotel room with an actress pretending to be a reporter. Giuliani has said nothing inappropriate happened. The tongue-in-cheek Razzies, created in 1980, serve as an antidote to Hollywood’s glitzy Academy Awards ceremony. Winners of the Razzies will be announced on April 24, the night before this year`s Oscars. Razzie nominees and winners are voted for online by members from more than two dozen countries, who sign up online and pay a $40 membership fee. This year, the Razzies announced a special pandemic-related award for 2020 as "The Worst Calendar Year EVER!"

<p>Singer Jennifer Lopez and former New York Yankees baseball star Alex Rodriguez were reported on Friday to have split up after almost four years together.<br />
<br />
Celebrity website TMZ, the New York Post`s Page Six and multiple entertainment websites cited unidentified sources close to the couple as saying the pair had called off their engagement.<br />
<br />
Representatives for Lopez, 51, and Rodriguez, 45, one of the biggest celebrity couples in the United States, did not return requests for comment on the reports.

<p>Entertainment Tonight said Lopez called off the relationship. "Jennifer felt like moving forward to marriage wasn`t right. Recently Alex’s character has been called into question and that didn’t sit right with Jennifer," the outlet quoted a source as saying. "The couple will always have respect for each other."<br />
<br />
The split follows recent rumors linking A-Rod with one of the stars of TV reality show "Southern Charm."<br />
<br />
Lopez, who sang at U.S. President Joe Biden`s inauguration in January, said late last year the couple had postponed their wedding twice because of the coronavirus pandemic.</p>

Singer Jennifer Lopez and former New York Yankees baseball star Alex Rodriguez were reported on Friday to have split up after almost four years together. Celebrity website TMZ, the New York Post`s Page Six and multiple entertainment websites cited unidentified sources close to the couple as saying the pair had called off their engagement. Representatives for Lopez, 51, and Rodriguez, 45, one of the biggest celebrity couples in the United States, did not return requests for comment on the reports. The 'Love Don`t Cost a Thing' singer and Rodriguez, known as A-Rod, began dating in early 2017 and announced their engagement in March 2019. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jennifer Lopez (@jlo) × Entertainment Tonight said Lopez called off the relationship. "Jennifer felt like moving forward to marriage wasn`t right. Recently Alex’s character has been called into question and that didn’t sit right with Jennifer," the outlet quoted a source as saying. "The couple will always have respect for each other." The split follows recent rumors linking A-Rod with one of the stars of TV reality show "Southern Charm." Lopez, who sang at U.S. President Joe Biden`s inauguration in January, said late last year the couple had postponed their wedding twice because of the coronavirus pandemic.

<br />
"A bad bitch era is needed tho," Cardi gave advice to her `Taki` collaborator. "A bitch I`m nice sweet girl but I`m a rich bad bitch too."

<p>French actress Corinne Masiero stripped naked on stage during a scaled-back Cesar Awards ceremony in Paris to protest the government`s months-long closure of theatres and cinemas during the coronavirus pandemic.<br />
<br />
She had "no culture no future" written on her chest and "give us art back Jean" on her back, in a message to Prime Minister Jean Castex.<br />
Masiero, 57, was on stage to present the award for best costume, wearing a donkey outfit and a blood-stained dress before she stripped before the audience.<br />
<br />
France`s answer to the Oscars, the ceremony is in normal times the biggest night on the French cinema calendar but on Friday there were no flashbulbs on the red carpet and no partners on the arms of award nominees.<br />
<br />
The ceremony took place at a theatre as anger and frustration grow amongst actors, musicians and artists at the government`s unwillingness to set a date for the reopening of museums, galleries, concert halls and movie houses.<br />
<br />
Marina Fois, one of France`s best-known comedians, took aim at the government`s months-long closure of theatres and cinemas during the coronavirus pandemic in a searing speech to open the ceremony.<br />
<br />
Fois, who hosted the night, took a swipe at Culture Minister Roselyne Bachelot for finding time to write a book during the COVID-19 crisis and said: "I`m losing confidence in you." Nor did she hold back from attacking the French government`s broader strategy to counter the COVID-19 crisis, as cases in the country topped 4 million.</p>

<p>"They cooped up our youngsters, closed our cinemas and theatres and banned concerts so that they could open churches, because we`re a secular country, so that old person could go to church," she said. The majority of French people are Roman Catholic.<br />

<p>Rina Sawayama, a Japanese-born singer who has lived in Britain for 26 years, is among the three contenders for the Rising Star prize at this year`s BRIT Awards after she successfully pushed to change eligibility rules.<br />
<br />
Singer Griff and rapper Pa Salieu were also nominated for the prize, previously called the BRITs Critics` Choice award, organizers of Britain’s pop music honours said on Thursday.<br />
<br />
Sawayama, whose debut album "Sawayama" was named one of 2020`s best by music magazine NME, had previously said she could not be considered for British award categories at the BRITs or for the Mercury Prize because she did not hold a British passport.<br />
<br />
Last month, the singer said she had several conversations with the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), which organises the awards, and the body confirmed music artists who have been permanent UK residents for more than five years would now be eligible.<br />
<br />
"I literally fell to the floor when I found out that I’d been nominated for Rising Star," Sawayama said in a statement.<br />
"I really can’t put into words how much this means to me given that I wasn’t eligible for this award a few weeks ago and now that door has been opened for future generations of artists like myself."<br />
<br />
Griff was last year nominated for the Ivor Novello Rising Star award while Salieu topped the BBC Music`s Sound of 2021 list.<br />

<p>Singer-songwriter The Weeknd recently stated that he will boycott the Grammy Awards moving forward, including no longer attending the ceremony or submitting his work for consideration following his 2021 nomination snub.<br />
<br />
As per People magazine, the singer, who was shut out of this year`s Grammy nominations, said in a statement to The New York Times, "Because of the secret committees, I will no longer allow my label to submit my music to the Grammys."<br />
<br />
