It's the 50th anniversary of the awards, yes. But that makes it the perfect opportunity to honor the people in music that received the first awards.
Of course they're going to include more of that and not air every single award being given out... Because nobody wants to watch a man in a suit read a list of awards for 3 hours.

yes, watching and "arguing" can be done simultaneously. Especially when it comes to laughing at Kanye West.
