The ceremony will be the first since the awards made a major change to its nominating process: In late April, the board of the Recording Academy, the governing body of the Grammys, voted to eliminate the use of anonymous expert committees to whittle down the final ballot in dozens of categories.
Due to the pandemic, the 2021 Grammy Awards, hosted by Trevor Noah, took place virtually. This year, the ceremony will return to being in person.
For the second year in a row, the Grammy Awards nominations are available to watch via a virtual live stream event.
The ceremony will be held on 31 January 2022, at the Crypto.com Arena (formerly the Staples Center) in Los Angeles.
