2019 Grammy Award Nominees Announced

2019 Grammy Award nominees were released earlier today by the Recording Academy for the show's 61st annual affair, to be broadcast February 10th (8:00-11:30 PM, live ET/5:00-8:30 PM, live PT), only on CBS. As the only peer-selected music award, the Grammy Awards are voted on by the Recording Academy's membership body of music makers, who represent all genres and creative disciplines, including recording artists, songwriters, producers, mixers and engineers. Final Grammy voting will take place from Dec. 13, 2018 through Jan 9, 2019.

"Reflection, reevaluation and implementation have been the driving forces at the Recording Academy over the past year," said Neil Portnow, President/CEO of the Recording Academy. "From convening our Task Force On Diversity & Inclusion and launching our new community-driven membership model, to increasing the number of nominees in the General Field, and to playing a leadership role in the successful passage of the landmark Music Modernization Act, the Recording Academy has reaffirmed its commitment to music creators across all facets of our industry. And it's our awards process that has taken a front seat during this evolutionary period to ensure the GRAMMY Awards reflect the ever-changing needs of the creative community. We are proud of this year's nominations results and congratulate all of the talented and deserving nominees."
