Grammys 2018: Sia, Nick Cave miss out on awards


READ MORE

Australia’s Hillsong Worship has won a Grammy Award.


The group, formed out of Sydney’s Hillsong megachurch, has had huge success across the world for their Christian inspired music and concerts.


“This is an absolutely incredible honour,” Brooke Ligertwood, who accepted the award with Ben Fielding on stage inside Madison Square Garden, New York, on Sunday, said.


They received the award in the best contemporary Christian music performance/song category for What A Beautiful Name.


The award is given to artists and songwriters of new contemporary Christian pop, Christian rap/hip-hop or Christian rock singles or tracks.


“No matter how far or close you feel to God or no matter how great the distance his love is greater, his name is more powerful, more wonderful, more beautiful than any other,” Fielding said.


The win came after fellow Australians Sia Furler, Nick Cave The Bad Seeds and Sydney trio Mansionair missed out on awards earlier in the ceremony.


Adelaide’s chart-topping singer-songwriter Sia was nominated in the best song written for film or TV category for Never Give Up, featured in the Nicole Kidman, Oscar-nominated Australian produced film Lion.


The Grammy went to Lin-Manuel Miranda for How Far I’ll Go from Disney’s Moana: The Songs.


Nick Cave The Bad Seeds and director Andrew Dominik were snubbed in the best music film category for One More Time With Feeling.


The Defiant Ones won the Grammy.


Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds also received a cold shoulder in the Best Boxed Or Special Limited Edition Package for Lovely Creatures: The Best Of Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds.


The winner was the Voyager Golden Record: 40th Anniversary Edition.


Sydney trio Mansionair was nominated in the best dance recording category for their collaborative effort Line Of Sight with Seattle electronic duo Odesza, but they were beaten for the Grammy by LCD Soundsystem for Tonite.

READ MORE Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Email print World Cup fever has crossed platforms. There was Harry Kane sneaking into India’s training sessions to meet Virat Kohli. And now there’s the All Blacks picking a XV made up of past and present cricketers. With the @cricketworldcup underway in England, we’ve taken a look at all the best players from past and present to select the ultimate Cricket XV! SQUAD NOTES https://t.co/B3rnj5OBuJ #CWC19 pic.twitter.com/KuUtPU77PT — All Blacks (@AllBlacks) June 2, 2019 And they’ve got some pretty cool reasons for picking some pretty cool players. Curtly Ambrose : If anyone wants to argue with this selection then take it up with Sir Curtly himself. We dare you. MS Dhoni : The Richie McCaw of Cricket. Enough said. Dwayne Leverock : Famous for his one-handed catch at the 2003 World Cup, the 130kg Bermudian would surely make just as big a splash on the rugby field. Jofra Archer runs in to bowl  Get...

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is on the rise, but not everyone is convinced

Image
READ MORE I can remember about 10 years ago going to a Cosmetex cosmetic surgery conference in Sydney where a doctor gave a demonstration, injecting the filler Restylane (a form of hyaluronic acid ) into a hooked nose; the de-bumping results were really impressive, and it only took 15 minutes. Since then there has been a steady rise in the use of nose fillers: also referred to as the non surgical nose job. Now, I have had the full-blown open rhinoplasty surgical version so am keen to drill down (pardon the pun) and find out more about the ins and outs of the “liquid nose job”. “Liquid nose jobs” are on the rise. Photo: Shutterstock Shereene Idriss a clinical instructor in dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and a cosmetic dermatologist at Union Square Laser Dermatology in New York City, has lots to say on her #pillowtalkderm about the pitfalls of the liquid nose job. “Liquid rhinoplasty, as seen on social media, appears to be t...

Tens of thousands protest Trump's immigration laws in 700 cities

READ MORE Tens of thousands of demonstrators, baking in the heat and boiling mad at US immigration policy, marched across the country Saturday to protest the separation of families under President Donald Trump’s hardline agenda. Directly across from the White House, demonstrators filled Lafayette Square park in an atmosphere of both indignation and sadness, before marching toward the Capitol. “We don’t believe in borders, we don’t believe in walls,” Sebastian Medina-Tayac, of the Piscataway Indian Nation, declared in English and Spanish at the start of the rally dubbed “Families Belong Together.” Loudspeakers broadcast the cries of a child split from its relatives, as a Brazilian mother told of being separated from her own son. “I missed nine months of his life and it should never have happened,” said the woman, Jocelyn, whose case dates from before the practice of separating families intensified in May. “Shame! Shame!” ...
