In an awards season that has already seen its fair share of political speech in place of acceptance speech — think Meryl Streep at the Golden Globes, or “Stranger Things” star David Harbour at the SAGS and his comments about punching Trump — the Grammy Awards on Sunday night likely will end up no different.

It’s probably reason enough to skip the whole thing, and watch the actual performances — like Lady GaGa’s duet with Metallica — on YouTube first thing Monday morning.

“The great acceptance speeches have a point of view and are more personal,” said the show’s producer, Ken Ehrlich.

Interestingly, the show’s producer, Ken Ehrlich, actually welcomes the rhetoric.

He told Variety: “One of the tenets of our show is artistic freedom, and over the years we’ve shown we do believe in it. How many more times do we need to hear ‘I’d like to thank my publicist, my agent, my wife and kids’? The great acceptance speeches are ones that have a point of view and are more personal.”

He added, “Artists expressing passionate opinions about real-life issues are the stuff of memorable moments.”

We have certainly had our fair share over the years, even if some made very little sense at the time.

Macklemore: In 2014, the up-and-coming rapper was given an extravagant showcase for his plea to end homophobia and misogyny in hip-hop. It included en masse weddings of 33 gay and straight couples to make a statement about same-sex marriage — with Queen Latifah officiating and Madonna performing at the wedding (sans her “blowing up the White House” threats).

Kendrick Lamar: When Lamar won five awards in 2016 – the most of anyone – including Best Rap Album for “To Pimp a Butterfly,” he also took to the stage as part of a chain gang, with his band in jail cells, to perform “The Blacker The Berry” — then transitioned onto a set with a gigantic bonfire and African dancers. He said at the time this was his statement about what it means to be a black man in America. To reiterate — Kendrick Lamar won five Grammy awards that night.

Lady Gaga: Hot off a strong Super Bowl performance that earned her criticism from the Left for not going political, Gaga could easily seize the moment of her Grammy performance to comment on President Donald Trump. Or she could respond to the body-shaming she experienced this past week on social media, largely from the very base that is supposed to loathe such antics. Last year she tackled gender identity and gender fluidity at the show during her tribute to David Bowie.

Bruce Springsteen: At the 2006 Grammys, The Boss, armed with just a guitar, harmonica, and scraggly hair, delivered an overwrought rendition of Bob Dylan’s “Devils & Dust.” Immediately after finishing the song’s last note, he theatrically shouted, “Bring ’em home!” and walked off stage, presumably referring to our soldiers fighting in the wars in the Middle East.

Neil Portnow: Don’t know him? Why should you? At the 2009 awards show, the Grammy president gushed so much over Barack Obama winning a Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album that he asked the then-newly elected “first African-American president” — which he couldn’t stop reiterating — to create a Cabinet position solely dedicated to promoting the arts.

So, you see, even if the speeches are tame — and they won’t be — many of the performances will be hopelessly, haplessly message-fueled.
