The GRAMMY AWARDS is an annual large-scale music awards event held by the National Academy of Recording Arts & Science. The Grammy Awards are known as the "Oscars of the music industry."

Award Introduction

Grammy, the annual major music awards in the United States, is held by the National Academy of Recording and Science. "GRAMMY" is a variant homophony of the English word Gramophone. The music award named after it has a history of 50 years, and its trophy is shaped like an old-fashioned Grammy Awards trophy

. In 1957, a group of musicians and record company managers in Los Angeles, USA, initiated the establishment of an organization representing the art and science of music products, and through this organization, they encouraged talented musicians, singers and behind-the-scenes music producers. The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (Recording Academy) and the Grammy Awards were born. The first Grammy Music Awards were awarded in 1958. Since then, the Recording Society has held an awards ceremony every year. The awards have also increased from the initial 26 to 101 in 28 categories. On April 6, 2011 local time in the United States, the Academy of Recording Arts announced that it will reduce the number of Grammy Awards from the original 109 to 78 starting next year. Although the Grammy Music Awards is an award in the American recording industry, it has now become one of the most influential music awards in the world. The Grammys in the music industry are like the Oscars in the film industry. Although it is undoubtedly marked by American culture, most musicians around the world are still proud to hold this old gramophone. The reason why the Grammy is so talked about by musicians around the world is that in addition to the fact that the United States has always been the center of global pop music and represents the higher level of pop music, there are also the following three reasons. The first is its authority. The Recording Academy of America is an organization composed of many senior musicians. It has set up 12 regional chapters and a producer and engineer chapter across the United States, with currently more than 10,000 members. Fifteen categories of professionals, including singers, performers, lyricists, composers, conductors, photographers, narrators, and music video producers, can apply to serve as judges, but only those who have at least 6 published works are eligible. Hold this position. People without real talent and lack of persistent pursuit of music career will generally not be able to enter the jury. A jury composed of so many senior professionals will naturally be trusted by music lovers. The second is its fairness. The selection of the Grammy Music Awards has a very strict system and procedure. Recommended works must be selected from that year. After the works are recommended, they must first be screened and qualified by more than 150 experts from various fields in the music industry, and then classified. Except for works that need to be voted by the special nomination committee, all works that pass the preliminary round must be sent to the judges for the first round of voting. But each judge can only select 9 items of their own expertise to vote on. Of course, they also have to vote for the 4 awards of that year: Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Newcomer of the Year. The list after the preliminary evaluation will be handed over to the judges for the second round of voting. In addition to the 4 basic awards, each judge can only choose 8 awards for voting. These strict measures effectively ensure the fairness of the selection. The third is its widespread influence. The Grammy Awards didn't have much fame when they first came out. Television helped. Television not only transformed the Grammy Awards ceremony into a colorful music program, but also greatly increased the international visibility of the Grammy Music Awards through live broadcasts around the world. A large number of European and American music superstars performed on the stage, coupled with the stage art and technical means that Americans are good at using, the Grammy Awards Ceremony has become a popular entertainment event around the world. The 44th Grammy Awards attracted approximately 1.7 billion viewers in 170 countries around the world. The Grammy Awards Ceremony went global and made great contributions to the Grammy Music Awards becoming an award widely accepted by musicians around the world.

Grammy-winning works are obviously not the product of hype by a few people or boasting by record companies, but are selected by experts and strict procedures. The high quality of these works and the rendering on television not only make the winners popular and their records sell well, but also play a real role in leading the music trend. On the other hand, judges are also consumers and will naturally be affected by the market. Best-selling records, popular singers, and popular movie songs are of course the easiest to enter their field of vision. In addition to the Grammy Music Awards, the Recording Academy of America has also established the Lifetime Achievement Award, the Board of Directors Award and the Grammy Hall of Honor to recognize people and works with outstanding achievements and long-term historical value, including those who are not included in the Grammy selection. People within the scope and figures buried by history, such as the black singer Robertson, who received the Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998, 22 years after his death. The Recording Academy of America is also actively involved in causes involving the rights and interests of record companies and individuals, such as record trademark legislation, intellectual property protection, combating piracy, and digital music download litigation, and actively advocates art exchange and music education. The Grammy Foundation is also concerned about difficulties musicians to provide help and support young people to join the ranks of musicians. All Grammy awards are presented annually by representatives elected by the Recording Academy to those who have made outstanding contributions to the art and technology of recording. The difference between the Grammy Awards and other awards is that the selection of all his awards is not affected by sales and rankings, but depends entirely on technical and artistic contributions. The annual Grammy Awards can also be regarded as a grand event, which attracts all the best music and recording industry professionals in the world. In addition to the traditional Grammy Awards, the Recording Academy also awards other supplementary awards. These awards make up for some of the gaps left by the Grammy Awards, but again, although there are some supplementary flavors in them, all those who can win these awards are outstanding talents who have made outstanding contributions to the recording career and music. These awards include the Lifetime Achievement Award, the Grammy Award for Best Technical, and the Grammy Legend Award. The biggest feature of the Grammy Awards is that it has a large selection committee organization, and all members are music practitioners. The large number of judges can avoid the subjectivity of a few people, and their professionalism also enhances the credibility of the Grammy Awards. Les Mills selects winners through tedious steps. Since its inception, it has attracted the attention of hundreds of millions of music fans around the world every year. Although the Grammy Music Awards is an award in the American recording industry, it has now become the most influential in the world. One of the most powerful music awards. The Grammys in the music industry are like the Oscars in the film industry. Although it is undoubtedly marked by American culture, most musicians around the world are still proud to hold this old gramophone.

Edit this section of the selection process

1. Nominations are recommended by all members for outstanding recording publications (including music videos) within the specified year (September of the previous year to September of the following year) ), but because the number of records released each year is so large, in order to avoid being left behind, each record company can also recommend some overlooked works of its artists to the Grammys during the nomination stage. In the past few years, Joan Osborne's "Relish" It was only with the support of the record company that it received widespread attention. 2. This stage of review is to classify the nominated works according to their different musical attributes, such as rock, country, Latin, classical, etc. At this time, no artistic or technical judgment can be made.

Edit this paragraph’s award conditions

Although the Grammy Awards strive to be fair and objective, everything they pass must leave traces, and there are still award-winning trends that can be predicted over the past 40 years. Theme health "Record of the Year" and "Song of the Year" themes are best related to "love" and "faith (definitely not "sex")", such as "I Will Always Love You"; they should be full of hope in life, such as "Evergreen" ", "We Are The World"; can remember loved ones, such as "Tears In Heaven", "Unforgetable"; encourage people to pursue happiness, such as "Somewhere Out There"; or the courage to reverse disadvantages, such as "Change The World" and other positive meanings, the above themes are more likely to be affirmed, which is why the early Rolling Stones and Madonna were rejected.

The market must take 2004 as an example. The five "Album of the Year" were all in the top 20 of the Billboard chart, and the five "Songs of the Year" were all on-demand hits. The winners of "Record of the Year" in the past ten years include four. The first chart-topping song, four chart-topping runner-ups, and one top-five song. After all, judges are also part of the consumer audience. Based on their complementary roles, works that are nominated or winning Grammys will often be immediately reflected in the surge in record sales once the media highlights them. Tie-in movies: There are too many examples of this kind of movie tie-ins being widely recognized by the Grammys. In the past ten years, eight "Songs of the Year" are also movie theme songs or interludes. There are two situations for impression scores. One is veterans who have won Grammys, and the other is rookies who just returned with awards in the last year. As long as the performance of the new work is not too bad, (not to mention the newcomers who have been recognized by Grammys, they will be rewarded next year). usually have impressive commercial performance), and the Grammys will try their best to reserve a good seat for them. Only games with detailed rules can be played for a long time. The four major awards in the American performing arts world (music: Grammy, film: Oscar, stage: Tony Award, television: Emmy Award) all meet this requirement.
