Grammy Predictions

#CODINUNDRUM: A column about random pop culture stuff, mostly Beyoncé

I am a self-proclaimed award show junkie, and as such I take the time to study and make predictions for who will take home the Actor, the Oscar and everything in between including the Grammys. When it comes to the music awards, however, I’ve never been very proficient at making the right predictions.
