A reader writes that the video of the year went to the right person: “I love Johnny Cash. However, the awards are for the best video in a given category, and Missy’s ’Work It’ was amazing. Also, though the only person on the planet who could even partially redeem ’Hurt’ is The Man In Black, and he did the best job that could be done, it’s still a horrid, overwrought, pseudo-angst-infused, Nine Inch Nails song. Trent Reznor should not be indirectly rewarded for writing it. That Cash also lost to Justin Timberlake, I agree, was tragic and indefensible.”
