New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Music's biggest night is here, and the gramophones are making their rounds!
The winners for the 64th Grammy Awards are in and, with a diverse group of nominees, the Recording Academy will honored artists ranging from 95-year-old Tony
Bennett to 19-year-old
Olivia Rodrigo (both of which won multiple awards) in Las Vegas.
Jon Batiste took home a slew of awards, including album of the year, and the ceremony's "Big Four" categories, which were increased from eight to 10 nominees, included
Silk Sonic for record and song of the year and
Olivia Rodrigo for new artist.
Meanwhile, JAY-Z also secured himself a place in the record books with his 83rd Grammy nomination, meaning he pushed past
Quincy Jones to become the most-nominated person of all time. Paul McCartney's two nods this year make him the second most nominated artist of all time, with 81.
The ceremony took place at the MGM Garden
Arena and the prime-time awards is being broadcast live on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. The majority of the awards were handed out during the Premiere Ceremony, which started at 12:30. That portion of the program was hosted by Levar Burton, and the prime-time awards were handled by Trevor Noah. The Grammys shifted from Los Angeles' Crypto.com
Arena (formerly Staples Center) due to rising COVID-19 cases and the Omicron variant in January.
