"This Room Is Full With Hate," Ed Sheeran Says As He Accepts The Trophy.

"The room was full of hatred and hatred towards everyone, and it was a very uncomfortable atmosphere," he told The Julia Show. "It's just that a lot of people want other people to fail, and I don't like that."

He continued, "All the artists are cute people, but they are surrounded by the troupe they want to win, so it's one artist surrounded by ten people and another artist surrounded by ten people, and everyone looks at each other.-eyes. "

The 30-year-old, who performed his new single Shivers at the MTV Awards on Sunday, said the UK awards were less competitive. "In England, our prices are like this, everyone is drunk, and nobody cares who wins or loses; it was just a good night." Sheeran, who has won six Brit Awards, four Grammy Awards, and two MTV Awards, says he's not the only one who thinks so.

"People feel like I'm at this award. I've spoken to people, and they've said, 'I felt depressed after that.' "It was an unpleasant atmosphere ... It was a very, very terrible atmosphere to be there. I was always sad, and I didn't like it." Caption Will and Jada Pinkett Smith boycott the 2016 Oscars.

It is known that in 1982 John Gilgood refused to accept his best actor in a supporting role at the Oscars, saying, "I hate all the congratulatory bullshit and cross-comparisons" that sparked the award. Actor George C. Scott went one step further and turned down a 1970 Oscar nomination for Best Actor for Patton. However, the Academy awarded him the award, which he declined, calling the Oscars a "shame" for the actors as a "two-hour meat parade."

Others boycotted the award for political reasons. Several high-profile no-shows, including Spike Lee, Will Smith, and Jada Pinkett Smith, appeared at the 2016 Oscars to protest the lack of diversity among the nominees.

"We are part of this community. But right now, we don't feel comfortable standing there and saying it's okay," Smith told Good Morning America. Snoop Dogg, Kanye West, Drake, and The Weeknd also boycotted the Grammys due to a lack of recognition for black artists in major award categories.

The last hip-hop album to win Album of the Year was Outkast's Speakerboxxx / The Love Below in 2004, and The Weeknd were barred from being nominated for this year's awards, despite having the best-selling single of 2020, Blinding Lights.

"Listen, I don't care personally," he said with a hug. "I have three Grammys that mean nothing to me now. Besides, I'm disgusting to give speeches. Forget the prizes." The star then directed his record label to discontinue his music from all future Grammy releases.

A similar position was taken by Frank Ocean, who refused to present his music to the nominating body in 2017, saying the ceremony had lost its relevance. "Trust those who prefer to see selected shows from your YouTube program the next day because your shows will put them to sleep."
