Full list of Grammy nominations 2022
Leave the door open for some surprising snubs as the nominations for the 2022 Grammy Awards have been announced.
In adherence to strict safety protocols amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Recording Academy revealed the nominations for the 64th Grammys show during its second-annual virtual livestream event on Tuesday morning from the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles.
“It’s been a year of unprecedented, transformational change for the Recording Academy,” Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. said in April. “I’m immensely proud to be able to continue our journey of growth with these latest updates to our awards process.”
This year, the Recording Academy eliminated nominations review committees in general and genre fields, meaning winners will now be determined by a majority, peer-to-peer vote of Recording Academy voting members.
“This is a new academy, one that is driven to action and that has doubled down on the commitment to meeting the needs of the music community,” said Mason. “While change and progress are key drivers of our actions, one thing will always remain — the Grammy Award is the only peer-driven and peer-voted recognition in music. We are honored to work alongside the music community year-round to further refine and protect the integrity of the awards process.”
Two brand-new categories will also debut at the 2022 Grammy Awards show: Best Global Music Performance (Global Music Field) and Best Música Urbana Album (Latin Music Field).
The total current number of Grammy Award categories now stands at a whopping 88.
“Music’s biggest night” will take place on Monday, Jan. 31, 2022, live from the soon-to-be renamed Staples Center in Los Angeles. CBS will broadcast the ceremony and it will be available to stream live on Paramount+.
Here are the nominees for the 64th Grammy Awards, which will be updated as they are announced.
