The 48th Annual Grammy Awards Nominee List was announced today by The Recording Academy. The special event will take place on Wednesday, February 8 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, and broadcasted on CBS from 8pm-11:30pm (EST) on the same night. Recordings released from October 1, 2004 through September 30, 2005 are eligible for this year’s ceremony. Also, more or less than five nominations in a category is the result of a tie.
Neil Portnow, President of The Recording Academy, stated, “As we celebrate the Grammy’s coast-to-coast, this year’s nominations truly reflect a dynamic and vibrant community of music makers that includes artists, producers, engineers, songwriters and everyone involved in the creative process. As this is the only music award that is voted on by music makers, the Grammy continues to be the preeminent symbol of excellence and achievement as well as the most coveted demonstration of peer-recognition and honor. Once again, our highly respected process has delivered a wealth of music and talent to spotlight on Feb. 8, 2006, during Music’s Biggest Night.”
