You can't expect session guys to show up in something like that. All the players nominated have a live reputation, in many cases even one that overshadows their studio performances.
As we all know, to coin a phrase, non-bass players don't notice a bass player by his playing unless he does something really outrageous, impressive or off the wall. And visuals are an important part of that, even if you are "just standing there", the solemn figure on stage like JAE. If people don't even see you as a bass player, your chances of getting noticed via your playing are pretty much zilch.
