Rolling Stone didn't call it "the best Grammy show ever, by an absurd margin" for nothing. In the wake of a challenging year for the music community, talk about a silver lining. That information will all come in due time. The nominations livestream event will begin at approximately 9 a.
Save the date! 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. This year, the Recording Academy eliminated nominations review committees in general and genre fields.
This change means that nominations in all of the GRAMMY Awards general and genre fields will now be determined by a majority, peer-to-peer vote of Recording Academy voting members. Previously, many of the categories within these fields used highly skilled music peers who represented and voted within their genre communities for the final selection of nominees.
With this change, the results of GRAMMY nominations and winners are placed back in the hands of the entire Recording Academy voting membership body, giving further validation to the peer-recognized process. Starting this year, GRAMMY Award Voters may now vote in 10 specific genre field categories within no more than three fields; this is a reduction from 15 specific genre field categories previously. This significant change ensures music creators are voting in the categories in which they are most knowledgeable and qualified.
Starting in , six existing craft fields will be consolidated into two fields: Presentation Field and Production Field. In either newly consolidated field, voters would have the ability to choose how many categories they feel qualified to vote in, respecting category vote limits, without being excessively limited by the three-field restriction.
This benefits the integrity of the GRAMMY Awards by embracing and utilizing the specializations of the voters, without restricting their choice or contributions due to the field limits imposed by the recent reduction of the number of categories voters may vote in. Moving forward, all credited artists, including featured artists, songwriters of new material, producers, recording engineers, mixers, and mastering engineers are eligible to be GRAMMY nominees and recipients in the Album Of The Year category.
Previously, the rule stated that all artists, songwriters, producers, recording engineers, mixers, and mastering engineers were required to be credited with at least 33 percent or more of playing time. In the Music Film Field, music-related documentaries must now contain a minimum of 51 percent of performance-based material or individual music videos that together create a visual album if videos are packaged and entered together as one cohesive film.
While dramatic feature films and biopics are not eligible, films with fictional elements are eligible. The Technical GRAMMY is awarded to those individuals who have dramatically pushed boundaries and made groundbreaking, important, outstanding, and influential contributions of technical excellence and innovation to the recording field throughout their lifetime.
Looking further ahead to the 65th GRAMMY Awards in , an album must contain greater than 75 percent playing time of newly recorded within five years of the release date , previously unreleased recordings to be eligible for GRAMMY Award consideration.

This means GRAMMY nominations and winners are determined by the Recording Academy's voting membership, which is composed of music creators, including artists, producers, songwriters, and engineers.
The health of all staff, guests and performers is the Recording Academy's first priority. As COVID regulations and safety guidelines continue to be monitored and set forth by health officials, dates and in-person events are subject to change.
