DP isn't indie at all though, not in terms of genre nor popularity. RAM has sold shitloads and they had one of the biggest songs of the year.. the most indie alternative is Sara Bareilles
Yes, true, they kinda got mainstream this year. But it's one of those "credo" albums together with Kendrick's album in case they sway into that direction.
Here's for Get Lucky winning ROTY though. That might restore my faith in Grammys

I was actually surprised to see her nominated. I didn't really keep up lately but was she ever one of the frontrunners?
Grammys don't even have 1 percent of the Oscars credibility. Oscars know to get it wrong sometimes (Angie, Natalie Portman wins or ScarJo snubs), but they would never nominate the likes of Megan Fox or Blake Lively.
