What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorRolling Stone says the race for Record of the Year at the twenty twenty-seven Grammys is the most competitive in ages.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAges, Hank. This is a family emergency, and I've already told my group chat to pick a side.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's a trophy.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt's a gramophone, and the Drama Index gives this race an eight out of ten, because there is no clear winner and everyone is being very polite about it.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorPolite is the worst kind of drama. Nobody screams, they just send strongly worded playlists.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYou have a favorite song. You do!
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI'm not saying. Rex, who's your pick?
