The Grammy selection process is meticulous, albeit not particularly transparent. It begins with an online submission phase during which Academy members and registered media organizations can submit their work. Following this, voting members participate in two rounds: the first to select the nominees and the second to determine the winners.
The Grammys have celebrated numerous historic moments in music history. From the inaugural ceremony in 1959, which honored legends such as Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald, to recent accolades for artists like Billie Eilish, Oliviia Rodrigo and Victoria Monét, the Grammys have showcased the evolution of music over the years. These awards do more than just recognize talent—they highlight the cultural significance of music in society.
