It's probably not what you had in mind when you asked the question, but in my opinion, the most controversial statement ever made at the Grammys is that the whole thing is a sham, that the results are rigged by the record companies who want to promote one of their stars/albums.

There are many musical pioneering legends who never won a Grammy: Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Queen, The Who, Bob Marley, Diana Ross, Grateful Dead. And to use the band from your username, "In 1980, Christopher Cross beat albums from Frank Sinatra, Barbara Streisand, and Pink Floyd for Album of the year, and took home four other awards that night while the still noteworthy recording from Pink Floyd, The Wall, won one single award that year - for Best Engineered Album." (quote from buzzle)

Maybe it's a conspiracy, maybe not - but it's definitely one doozy of a controversy.
