There were differences between the 2022 Grammys and the 2022 Oscars the previous Sunday, and people on Twitter wanted to discuss.

After the infamous moment between Will Smith and Chris Rock overshadowed much of the rest of the Oscars, many Grammy viewers voiced a preference for the smooth-flowing musical show after the previous weekend’s chaos.

The 2022 Grammys also had a noticeable emotional undertone, from the joyful performance by Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak as Silk Sonic to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s moving appeal for support in a video.

The amount of time dedicated to the war in Ukraine was one of the more obvious differences between the two shows. At the Grammys, John Legend was joined by a Ukrainian singer and poet to perform a tribute, in addition to Zelenskyy’s appearance.

I’m glad that, unlike the Oscars, the Grammys are acknowledging the war.

The Grammys had the class the Oscars didn’t, they had a great video of President Zelensky speaking English to the Grammy audience about the atrocities in Ukraine best thing on the show tonight!

During the Oscars, the segment memorializing actors who have passed since the previous ceremony got overshadowed. The Grammy’s tribute was praised by some viewers in comparison.

#GRAMMYs did a much better job with In Memoriam as a performance segment than the Oscars.

The Oscars should take a page from the Grammys on how to do an “In Memoriam”.

After the Oscars, though, there were some who felt the Grammys were boring in comparison.

However, some went said the Grammys ceremony was much better than the Oscars.

so far the #GRAMMYs are way more fun than the #Oscars. One host @Trevornoah who seems very caffeinated & super happy to be there. Very fast pace (both Noah’s speaking & show production). Energetic live music, diverse genres. Happy winners, short speeches. Just way more upbeat.

The production value of the Grammys makes the Oscars look like it was filmed with your grandfather’s VHS camcorder.

Grammys are having Oscars for lunch.

Doing the Grammys one week after the Oscars makes the Oscars look terrible.

Grammys seem like what the Oscars should have been. Over the top, opulent and such a genuine love for what they do https://t.co/4ExHE5zb2N
