THE GRAMMYS ARE COMING!
The Recording Academy's annual screening committee meetings—where more than 200 industry experts organize all Grammy entries into 83 categories and 30 fields—have come to a close. The first round of ballots of been mailed to NARAS voting members, and the official nominations are set to be announced 12/7.
"With such a high volume of entries, the awards process requires a lot of energy," announced SVP Awards Bill Freimuth. "But music makers put their hearts and souls into these recordings, so it’s important to respect that work by giving each entry the time and consideration it deserves to make sure it’s presented to voters in the right context on the first ballot."
Final-round ballots will be due 1/15, and the 58th annual awards show will once again take place at L.A.'s Staples Center on 2/15, which marks its first Monday telecast in history. That's certainly one way to start the work week: gowns in gridlock.
Watch their explanatory video on the sorting process below, and stay tuned for more updates on music's biggest night.
