Last week, we shared how this year’s Grammy Awards would be the first to feature footage captured with the GrammyCam, a special Grammy trophy that has a built-in GoPro camera in its base. Well, the Grammys were last night, and the world’s first GrammyCam videos are now available for the world to see.
The idea was interesting, but the results are far from spectacular.
First off, here’s how heavily the GrammyCam was promoted leading up to the awards ceremony:

And here’s what the GrammyCam actually captured from the winners’ perspectives:
This is what was being said about the camera afterwards on Twitter:
The #GrammyCam videos are here, and they're kind of confusing https://t.co/j5dg50vxG6 pic.twitter.com/isjSB0Acj8

Has anyone checked out the #GRAMMYcam? Good for a laugh, impressive in thought, but not well executed. #GRAMMYs

I'm watching the Grammys via the Grammycam inside the trophy, which means I get close-up views of winners' fingers. pic.twitter.com/EBpYZiIWLP

The #Grammycam is just awkward. I don't need to see the ceiling or up people's nostrils. #grammys @JumpOttawa

It’ll be interesting to see whether other awards shows adopt similar trophy cameras now that the results of this first experiment are out.
