The 2024 awards season is passing by full steam ahead, with the 66th Grammy Awards being the next occasion to gather and honor some of your favorite music stars.

The Grammys are famously among the awards ceremonies to have the most categories. This year, a whopping 94 awards are being handed out – for music releases from October 2022 to September 2023 – though not all are televised or announced during the ceremony. They are split into 11 different fields, which include the general field with the Big Six awards (previously the Big Four): Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best New Artist, Producer of the Year (Non-Classical), and Songwriter of the Year (Non-Classical).
