The Grammys, the first gala after the Will Smith slap

• Oscar Awards Will Smith resigns from the Hollywood Film Academy for the slap to Chris Rock: "I will accept any other consequence"

Saturation, tiredness, fed up, boredom.

These are sensations that the average American viewer could well experience when facing three hours of Grammys seven days after the Oscars.

But with Will Smith's slap still fresh, anticipation for the next big awards show seems to have grown in America.

Perhaps because of the curiosity of a possible reference to the incident with

or because, in its own way -and without violence involved, if possible-, the gala is capable of surprising and exciting at times.

He has plenty of resources - and controversial characters like

"We will be ready", and more with the effect of Smith's aggression on Chris Rock still kicking.
