Joining Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. to deliver the good news were Grammy winners Arooj Aftab, Vince Gill, Amy Grant, Jimmy Jam, Jon Bon Jovi, Samara Joy, Muni Long, Cheryl Pawelski, Kim Petras, Judith Sherman, St. Vincent, Jeff Tweedy, and “Weird Al” Yankovic, along with “CBS Mornings” co-hosts Gayle King, Nate Burleson, and Tony Dokoupil.
There were major changes to this year’s awards. For starters, two categories were added to the general field: Producer of the Year, Non-Classical and Songwriter of the Year. That means all academy members were eligible to vote in those races. The Grammys also consolidated genres from 26 fields down to 11 to provide more categories for voters to choose from within each field.
Next, winners will be voted on from December 14 through January 4. Winners will then be announced at the afternoon Premiere Ceremony and prime time Grammys telecast on February 4, 2024.
