Bad Bunny Dominates Grammys Night as Trevor Noah's Hosting Struggles to Leave a Mark

The Hollywood Reporter’s Daniel Fienberg lauds Bad Bunny’s big night and message at the 68th Grammys, but says Trevor Noah’s hosting was warm yet forgettable, lacking a guiding through-line. The show delivered spectacular performances (Sabrina Carpenter, Tyler, the Creator, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber) and a standout In Memoriam sequence, yet a few missteps—such as Cher’s awkward presenting moment and a finale that sagged—left the telecast ending on a lull rather than a peak. Overall, it was entertaining in the middle with passion and spectacle sustaining it, even if the wrap didn’t land as strongly as the middle sections.
