Grammy Awards

In the music business, the Grammy Honor (stylized as GRAMMY, formerly known as Gramophone Award), or simply Grammy, is a prestigious award given out by the Recording Academy to honour outstanding accomplishment. The award features a golden phonograph as its centrepiece. The Grammy Honors are the first of the major music awards presented yearly by the Big Three networks (between the American Music Awards in fall, and Billboard Music Awards in summer). Along with the Academy Honors (for cinema accomplishments), the Emmy Awards (for television achievements), and the Tony Awards (for Broadway achievements), the Grammy is regarded one of four main yearly American entertainment awards in the United States (for theatre and Broadway achievements).

Every year, the award event includes performances by well-known musicians, as well as the presentation of prizes that recognise the accomplishments of recording artists in the business. The inaugural Grammy Awards ceremony was held on May 4, 1959, to recognise the musical achievements of artists during the previous year, 1958, and was broadcast live on CBS. Following the 2011 event, the Academy restructured several Grammy Award categories for the following year. The 63rd Annual Grammy Awards were held on March 14, 2021 (after being postponed from its original January 31, 2021 date due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the music industry) in and around the Los Angeles Convention Center (after being postponed from its original January 31, 2020 date due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the music industry). The Staples Center in Los Angeles will host the 64th Annual Grammy Awards on January 31, 2022, marking the show's 64th anniversary.
