On January 31, 2022, the 64th Annual Grammy Awards will be presented at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles in recognition of the best compositions and recordings in the music industry.
Although the Grammys are not a traditional music award show, the 2022 ceremony will feature a broader range of categories and an all-star lineup. The songwriters’ category will feature a mix of genres and styles.
Some categories, including best new artist, are purely subjective, but they are worth mentioning. Some of the most popular categories include: song of the year, best new artist, and record of the year.
If you are wondering who will be nominated for the 2022 Grammys, you have come to the right place. The show will air on CBS. The final ceremony will be held on January 31 next year.
Nominees were chosen from more than 22 000 eligible entries released between 1 September 2020 and 30 September 2021 for the 2022 edition, which will honor musical work across 86 categories.
GRAMMY winners are chosen by over 11 000 members of the Recording Academy, and the final voting round will take place between 6 December and 5 January.
