You don't have to know the difference between those events. They aren't rare or obscure events though.
You don't need to know the name of a song or a movie or a tv show, either.
You probably, probably, should know that music, movies, and tv shows exist. But maybe not. I'll tell you though Emmys are tv, Grammys are music, Oscars are movies.
At this point in 2020, I think it's good enough to just say something like, all of those things are shit now because the people in charge are the ones eating the babies, and they hire other baby eaters, so, basically, you're watching or listening to what baby eaters like.
