The eligibility period for the 66th annual Grammy Awards is October 1, 2022 through September 15, 2023.
The Grammys voting process begins with members and record companies submitting entries, which are then screened for eligibility and category placement. The Online Entry Process (OEP) access period took place from July 17, 2023 to August 31, 2023. First round voting occurred from October 11 to October 20, 2023. Lastly, final round voting will span December 14, 2023 to January 4, 2024 — and the winners will be announced during Music's Biggest Night on February 4.
The Academy's voting members, all involved in the creative and technical processes of recording, then participate in (1) the nominating process that determines the five finalists in each category; and (2) the final voting process which determines the Grammy winners.
Three new Grammy categories will debut at the 2024 Grammys: "Best African Music Performance", "Best Alternative Jazz Album" and "Best Pop Dance Recording". These history-making category additions are part of a larger set of updates and amendments, which go into effect immediately at the 2024 Grammys, aimed at making the Grammy Awards process "more fair, transparent and accurate", according to Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr.
"Each and every amendment was created exactly with this in mind: openness, transparency, fairness," Mason Jr. told Grammy.com in an interview in June. "Every process that we undertake — every amendment or change to our Awards process that gets initiated — is done to make the process more fair, transparent and accurate. And when we find things that can be improved, we're in the position now to be able to make those changes, thankfully. Everything you're seeing now is with the goal of being better and more accurate, honoring more music fairly and in relevant fashion, and making sure the process is transparent, fair and working."
Ozzy Osbourne was honored with a Grammy in the "Best Metal Performance" category in the pre-telecast ceremony at the 65th annual Grammy Awards, which was held on February 5, 2023 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California. Ozzy was nominated for "Degradation Rules", a track from his 2022 album "Patient Number 9".
