The 65th Grammy Awards rolled out their nominations Tuesday (Nov. 15), and from the looks of it, the Feb. 5, 2023 ceremony promises to be one of the most star-studded events in recent music history. After a nomination period that saw albums from Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Adele, Bad Bunny, Harry Styles, Kendrick Lamar, and more, the Grammy nominations revealed just how the past twelve months were an incredible year of music. Check out the list below, courtesy ofThe New York Times
Following a COVID-affected 2021 ceremony that put an emphasis on performances, the 2022 Grammys were a return to the status quo — in a sense. The ceremony relocated to the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and ultimately saw Jon Batiste win Album of the Year. His This is Us beat Justin Bieber (Justice), Doja Cat (Planet Her), Taylor Swift (Evermore), Kanye “Ye” West (Donda), H.E.R. (Back Of My Mind), Billie Eilish (Happier Than Ever), Lil Nas X (Montero), Olivia Rodrigo (Sour), and Tony Bennet and Lady Gaga (Love For Sale). Silk Sonic won Record and Song of the Year with “Leave The Door Open,” and Olivia took home the Best New Artist award.
A lot of familiar faces took home Grammys in 2022 – and faces no one expected, specifically Louis CK winning the Best Comedy Album for Sincerely Louis CK (Louis was nominated again, BTW). With Kanye “Ye” West’s recent antisemitism, one question heading into the nominations was if the Recording Academy extend a similar open-armed embrace with his 2022 album, Donda 2? Even though Ye has made it clear what he thinks about the Grammy Awards by posting a video of him urinating on one of his trophies in 2020? Apparently, no. Kanye was shut out of the Rap category, suggesting he was either snubbed or that he didn’t submit his album for consideration.
The 65th GRAMMY Awards will air live on Sunday, Feb. 5, from Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena, and it will broadcast live on the CBS Television Network and stream live and on-demand on Paramount+at 8-11:30 p.m. ET / 5-8:30 p.m. PT+.

For the 2023 Grammys, the Recording Academy unveiled five new categories, bringing the total number of categories up to 91. The categories include Best Spoken Word Poetry Album, Best Americana Performance, Best Alternative Music Performance, Best Score Soundtrack For Video Games And Other Interactive Media, and the Songwriter Of The Year, Non-Classical Award.
“What they have to do to enter in the OEP [Online Entry Process] is to have a minimum of five songs in which they’re listed as a non-performing, non-producing songwriter or co-writer,” Susan Stewart, the Managing Director of the Recording Academy’s Songwriters & Composers Wing, said in a Grammy.com interview. “We want people to understand that there are people behind these songs, who create a piece of art from nothing. We want to make sure they’re recognized. It’s an amazing profession.”
