Alongside nabbing Grammy Awards for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album, it seems alleged Chris Pine spitter Harry Styles nabbed another accolade while attending Sunday night’s award show: Most Entitled Man In Hollywood!
Yep, despite his boyband stardom, garnering a fanbase so big his homoerotic fanfiction played a pivotal role in the plot of a premium cable drama and somehow managing to land leading roles despite his Tommy Wiseau-ian accent, notable white man Harry Styles is still somehow shocked that his Old Navy commercial soundtrack album won big at the Grammys.

“I’m just so— This doesn’t happen to people like me very often,” Styles exclaimed while accepting the award on Sunday, February 5, evidently forgetting that white men have long existed as catnip for the Recording Academy, making up the vast majority of Album of the Year winners since 1959. “This is so, so nice.”
Despite Styles’ assertion, several fans did not, in fact, find his comments “so, so nice.” Aside from upsetting several arguably more deserving winners — Give Beyoncé her AOTY already, damnit! — several fans spoke out, calling out Styles on his delusional ways.
“this doesn’t happen to people like me often” who, white british men?

Saying “this doesn’t happen to people like me very often” when a Black woman hasn't won that award since 1999 is crazy lol

To paraphrase Miranda Priestly: Queerbaiting white man? Winning awards? Over much more qualified contenders? Groundbreaking.
