Grammy Awards 2023: Nominations, where & how to watch

LOS ANGELES – Will Beyoncé emerge from the Grammy Awards as the most decorated artist ever?

It’s one of the main storylines heading to Sunday’s ceremony, where the superstar is the front-runner and needs four wins to make history.

Some of music’s biggest names, including Beyoncé, are vying for the top honor of the night – Harry Styles, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, ABBA and Lizzo are all among the album contenders. of year. Adele joins them in the recording contest of the year.

Trevor Noah will host the show live from the Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles starting at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) on CBS and Paramount+. The show will include performances by Bad Bunny, Mary J. Blige, Sam Smith, and Lizzo, as well as special musical tributes to late musicians Takeoff, Loretta Lynn and Christine McVie.

But with 91 Grammy categories, most of the awards are handed out during the Recording Academy’s live-streamed Premiere. It was on that show that Beyoncé was able to surpass British-Hungarian composer Georg Solti to become the artist with the most Grammy Awards. (Solti won the 31st Grammy Award in 1997.)

There could be many other firsts: If Bad Bunny wins Album of the Year for “Un Verano Sin Ti,” it will be the first time a Spanish-language album has taken home the top honor. Taylor Swift, whose latest album “Midnights” did not qualify for this year’s Grammys, could win her first trophy for song of the year for “All Too Well.” An Adele win for song of the year for her song “Easy on Me” would make her the most honored artist in this category with three wins, the rest going to the other artists. her super hits “Hello” and “Rolling in the Deep”.

This year’s Grammy Awards also introduced several new categories, including one for video game music composition. And some non-musicians, such as actors Viola Davis and Amanda Gorman, can take home trophies. A win by Davis in the category of best audiobook recording, narration and storytelling would make her EGOT – an artist who has won Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards.

This year’s show marks a return to Los Angeles after the pandemic was first delayed, then forced the Grammys to move to Las Vegas last year. Noah also hosted the ceremony, which saw Jon Batiste take home the album of the year.
