This was an extrememly sad story and it's devastating to hear this kind of new.  Also, I don't think the author did a very good job of writing the article.  It was to blunt and straight forward, and also very repetative.  I think a story like this requires a writer to can emotionally appeal to the sensitivity of the readers.

I am happy about this change.  I think that when there are over 100 awards to be won competition isn't as stiff, which is boring.  I know that alot of people will be unhappy about this change because some of their favorite artists will have a smaller chance of winning an award, but what fun is an industry that isn't competitive?

Ok, either someone is trying to make some serious money or he is telling the truth and another part of this great nation has gone to complete crap.  When there is a simple way to become an American citizen and when so many problems are already caused by illegal immigrants and when we are already learning to speak their language, why would our government cease arrest on something illegal!  Call me blind, but I don't understand it.
