With new format, Grammy nominees to be unveiled on Nov 22

New York, Sep 22 : The 2022 Grammy nominations will be announced on November 23, the Recording Academy announced.

The unveiling takes place just two days before Thanksgiving, as they were last year, reports Variety.com.

This years roster could be significantly different from ones in recent years, as the Academy has eliminated the "secret" nominating committees of artistes, creators and industry experts that curated the final lists over the past couple of decades.Now, the final nominees ostensibly will be chosen by the broader Grammy voting body.

The move and a subsequent overhaul of the Academys awards team was made after last years controversial nominations, which inexplicably saw the Weeknd, whod had one of the most successful albums of the year and, with Blinding Lights, one of the most successful singles of the 2000s, receiving no nominations whatsoever.The 2022 awards will have a 13-month eligibility period, due to industry delays caused by the pandemic.

Earlier this week, Variety also confirmed that the Academy is pausing two honorary awards programmes, the Grammy Hall of Fame and its special merit awards, for one year.The former is being delayed to revise its process and the Academy plans to relaunch it next year; the latter is being delayed because last years honorees have not yet been properly acknowledged.That news was first reported by Billboard.

The Grammy Awards return to Los Angeles Staples Center on January 31, 2022, and will broadcast live on the CBS Television Network and stream live and on demand on Paramount+.#Grammy #nominees #unveiled.
