The Grammys’ Seating Charts Really Make You Wonder How These Decisions Are Made

Award show seating charts are not something I've ever thought about before, but obviously they exist. The biggest stars and the people most likely to win always sit up front, so it's not like they're randomly choosing their spots. If that were the case everyone would end up like Jacqueline Bisset. Access Hollywood brought award show seating to mind when they posted pictures of the seating chart for the Grammys on Instagram today. They raise a few questions. For example, will Pink be distracted through the entire ceremony because Paul McCartney will be right in front of her? Will Yoko Ono appear in a ton of Taylor Swift GIFs the next day?

Click through our slideshow of Grammy seating chart pics and see what other queries these odd arrangements bring up.
