According to Deborah Dugan, the suspended head of the Recording Academy, yes it is. She stated that the Grammys nomination process is rigged due to conflicts of interest. Although there are a lot of good people who work there, she says that there are a lot of things that are not right about the process and a few bad apples in the bunch. The problem is that those "bad apples" are the most powerful and influential individuals who can control the situation to meet their benefit.
She made these statements on "CBS This Morning" on Thursday January 22nd, stating, "In that room not only are there trustees that have conflicts of interest on particular artists that are nominated, but more importantly there are even artists that are nominated that are in the room. So for me that's just such a blatant conflict of interest." When she was asked if the process is rigged, Deborah Dugan replied, "Yes it is."
