For years, Recording Academy members who were fortunate enough to land Grammy nominations were given a pair of free tickets to the show. Now, the Academy is making members who are nominated buy their companion ticket.
The policy change, announced quietly in November, has drawn criticism. Rhiannon Giddens, a two-time Grammy winner in the folk field, wrote a thoughtful post on Facebook in which she expressed her disappointment with the new policy, and put it in the context of life getting harder for working-class musicians.
Early in her post, she talked about the experience of going to the Grammys for the first time in February 2011, when her band Carolina Chocolate Drops was nominated for best traditional folk album for Genuine Negro Jig. Spoiler alert: They won.
“People might not know this, but it’s expensive to go to the GRAMMYs – if you are nominated, you pay for your flight, hotel, hair, makeup, dress, food, what have you, yourself. All nominees receive a plus one to the ceremony and after party, and for a lot of non-mainstream folks, win or lose, it’s a moment of a lifetime.”
Then she dealt with the Academy’s recent announcement about charging nominated members for their +1 tickets.
“The onslaught on the working class musician was taken up a notch this year. I am not going to the GRAMMYs for various reasons in February but I have just heard that the companion ticket is no longer free but costs 1200 dollars.
“For all the big names that’s easy, and for middle class musicians like me, its doable, if super annoying. For the folks who are just making ends meet, harder than ever in a world that is systematically erasing every avenue the musician used to have to actually make money from their music, from Spotify to closed venues to digitized orchestras, it’s a slap in the face.
“There are folks within the GRAMMY ranks who really love music and are trying to change things for the better. I get that. The afternoon ceremony has slowly been upgraded and is now even livestreamed! But honestly, this is a really bad look – and it makes it ever more obvious who is valued, and more specifically what (that would be lots of money, for the folks in the back).
Giddens attached a photo of her at the Grammys in 2011 and noted, “This picture wouldn’t exist if the policy then was what it is now, and that makes me sad.
“Music is art. Family. Empathy. Love. We’ve made it about money, and that’s a tragedy bigger than we know.”
Asked to comment, the Academy provided this statement to Billboard: “The recent adjustment affects only nominated members of the Recording Academy, which now brings them in line with all other nominees who already pay this cost for a companion seat. We acknowledge tickets to our show can be expensive, but the additional revenue raised from this small subset of our membership allows the Recording Academy, a not-for-profit organization, to serve many thousands of music people by helping to fund our educational initiatives, advocacy efforts, curated programming, and direct assistance extended to music people facing challenges. As with everything we do, the Recording Academy will continue to work to improve and evolve how we serve our music community.”
Giddens’ statement that Grammy tickets cost $1,200 was a little off. Tickets were made available this year at both higher and lower price points. (Tickets at all pricing tiers are now sold out.) Platinum tickets went for $2,000 each, Gold tickets for $1,000 each, Silver tickets for $562.50 each, and Bronze tickets for $375 each. Members may purchase two tickets within any of these pricing tiers and may also purchase two additional Bronze tickets, though additional Bronze tickets are $500, not $375. All of these pricing tiers include the Premiere Ceremony (a.k.a the pre-telecast awards). None of the tiers include the after-party.
An Academy spokesman said that this policy change of charging nominated members for their +1 tickets is true for all nominees, in marquee categories as well as the lower-profile categories that are presented at the Premiere Ceremony.
(Each year, all but about 11 awards are presented at the Premiere Ceremony, which is livestreamed on Grammy.com. These include some high-profile categories, though the biggest awards – including the vaunted Big Four — album, record and song of the year plus best new artist – are presented on the live telecast.)
This isn’t the only money-tightening change the Academy has instituted recently. On July 10, it announced that it was raising annual membership dues from $100 to $150, its first dues increase since 2000. The increase took effect on Aug. 1.
The Academy sought to justify the dues increase in an email to voting members. “It is important to highlight the significant accomplishments we have achieved together since the last dues increase in 2000. We have organized over 650 events across 12 Chapters, celebrated and recognized countless GRAMMY Award nominees and winners, provided $110 million in aid through MusiCares, and actively supported the passage of numerous bills at both the state and federal level to protect creators’ rights.”
A third example of upping fees is that the Academy used to allow members to enter an unlimited number of entries in the Grammy process. Since 2022, all professional and voting members of the Recording Academy receive five “courtesy entries” per year. If they choose to enter more than five entries, they must pay. Last year, the fee was $40 for entries made between July 17-31, $75 for entries made between Aug. 1-23 and $125 for entries made between Aug. 24-31.
The Academy justifies charging a fee for any member making more than five entries by saying, “The per-entry fee structure encourages entrants to consider the value of each entry and make mindful decisions to put forward work that they truly believe is Grammy-worthy.”
Gidden is nominated for two Grammys at this year’s ceremony, which is set for Feb. 4 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles – best Americana album for You’re the One and best American roots performance for a track from that album, “You Louisiana Man.”
It’s her first nod for best Americana album; her third for best American roots performance.
Gidden received her second of two Grammy Awards two years ago – best folk album for They’re Calling Me Home, with Francesco Turrisi.
Gidden won a Pulitzer Prize for Music last year for Omar, a collaboration with Michael Abels. That’s the same award that Kendrick Lamar won five years ago for Damn. Gidden has also been honored at the International Folk Music Awards and Americana Music Honors & Awards, among others.
Six female solo artists and an all-female group account for all but one of the 2024 Grammy nominations for album of the year. Only Jon Batiste’s World Music Radio kept male artists from being shut out in the top category this year. This is the 12th time that female artists have dominated the album of […]
Barbie leads the contenders for the 2024 Guild of Music Supervisors (GMS) Awards. The blockbuster received three nominations – best music supervision for film budgeted over $25 million and two nods for best song written and/or recorded for a film. The nods recognize the work of music supervisor George Drakoulias as well as Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt (“I’m Just Ken”) and Billie Eilish and Finneas (“What Was I Made For?”).
Seven of the 10 GMS nominees for best song written and/or recorded for a film are also on the shortlist for Academy Awards for best original song. Oscar nods will be announced Tuesday (Jan. 23). In addition to “What Was I Made For?” and “I’m Just Ken,” these doubly honored songs are “Am I Dreaming” from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, “Can’t Catch Me Now” from The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, “It Never Went Away” from American Symphony, “Quiet Eyes” from Past Lives and “Road to Freedom” from Rustin.
The other three songs nominated here were not shortlisted for Oscars, which probably makes this nomination even more meaningful to those concerned. These songs are “Camp Isn’t Home” from Theater Camp, “JUICY” from Joy Ride and “Little Bit ‘O Soul” from Totally Killer.
One week after winning a Primetime Emmy for outstanding music supervision at the Creative Arts ceremony for The White Lotus, Gabe Hilfer receives a GMS nomination for his work on the HBO Max series.
The music supervisors with the most GMS nominations this year are Mike Ladman and Mara Techam for their work in advertising for such brands as Levis, The New York Times and Hennessy. Each received five nominations.
The recipients of the Icon and Legacy Awards will be announced at a later date.
Winners will be revealed at an in-person and virtual awards gala at The Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 3. The ceremony, now in its 14th year, honors outstanding achievement in the craft of music supervision in film, television, documentaries, advertising, trailers, and video games. Tickets are available only to members of GMS and their Friends of the Guild subscribers.

Six days after announcing Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo as the first performers set for the 2024 Grammy Awards, CBS announced three more performers: Travis Scott, Luke Combs and Burna Boy. These bookings bring gender, genre and racial diversity to Music’s Biggest Night.
The announcement was made during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s NFL football game (Kansas City vs. Buffalo), just as last week’s performer announcement was made during the fourth quarter of the AFC wild-card game. Both games were broadcast on CBS, which has aired the Grammys since 1973.
All three of the newly-added performers are current Grammy nominees. Scott is nominated for best rap album for Utopia. He was also nominated in that category for his previous studio album, Astroworld. Scott has amassed 10 nominations. He has yet to win.
Combs is nominated for best country solo performance for his version of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car.” Chapman performed the song as the final performance of the night on the Grammy telecast in February 1989, so there may be reason to hope the Grammys can land a collaborative performance on this year’s show. This is Combs’ seventh nomination. He too has yet to win. He was nominated for best new artist five years ago, but lost to Lipa. (Both artists have done exceptionally well in the ensuing five years.)
Burna Boy is nominated in four categories – best global music album (I Told Them…), best African music performance (“City Boys”), best global music performance (“Alone”), and best melodic rap performance (“Sittin’ on Top of the World”). He won best global music album three years ago for Twice as Tall.
Additional performers will be announced in the two weeks leading up to the Feb. 4 ceremony.
Trevor Noah will host the Grammys for the fourth consecutive year. He too is a Grammy nominee. He is up for best comedy album for I Wish You Would. He’s the first Grammy host to be nominated for a Grammy that same year since Queen Latifah in 2005. Noah won a Primetime Emmy last week for outstanding talk series for The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.
The 66th annual Grammy Awards will be held on Sunday, Feb. 4 from 8:00-11:30 p.m. live ET/5:00-8:30 p.m. live PT on CBS and will stream live and on-demand on Paramount+ (live and on demand for Paramount+ with Showtime subscribers, or on demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the special airs).
The telecast will be produced by Fulwell 73 Productions for the Recording Academy for the fourth consecutive year. Ben Winston, Raj Kapoor and Jesse Collins are executive producers.
Want to be among the very first to know how many Oscar nominations Barbie and Oppenheimer collect? You can tune into the 96th Oscars nominations announcement on Tuesday, Jan. 23, and hear them the very moment Hollywood’s top stars and most powerful executives get the news. Just one catch: You have to get up early, especially if you’re on the West Coast. The live presentation begins at (gulp) 5:30 a.m. PT/8:30 a.m. ET.
Actors Zazie Beetz and Jack Quaid will host the announcement of the nominations in all 23 categories in a live presentation from the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, Calif.
The brief program will stream globally on Oscar.com, Oscars.org and the Academy’s digital platforms (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook), and will be seen on national broadcast and streaming news programs, including ABC’s Good Morning America, ABC News Live and Disney+. The Oscars have aired on ABC since 1976.
We will learn which two of the three shortlisted Barbie songs – “Dance the Night,” “I’m Just Ken” and “What Was I Made For?” – are nominated for best original song. Oscar rules allow just two songs from a film to be nominated.
We will learn if Diane Warren lands her 15th nomination – and seventh in a row – for “The Fire Inside” from Flamin’ Hot.
We will learn if the late Robbie Robertson becomes the first composer in 47 years to receive a posthumous nomination for best original score. Robertson is likely to be nominated for his work on Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon. The last composer to be nominated in this category posthumously was the great Bernard Herrmann, on the 1977 telecast. He had two of the five nominations, for Taxi Driver and Obsession.
We will learn which eight films will go up against “Barbenheimer” for best picture. (There are 10 nominees in this category.) The films that are expected to face Barbie and Oppenheimer are American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, Past Lives, Poor Things and The Zone of Interest.
The 96th Oscars will air on Sunday, March 10, with the funny and genial Jimmy Kimmel hosting for the fourth time.
The nominations will be announced in two clusters on Tuesday. The Academy cautions that these categories are not listed in order of presentation and are subject to change, but this will give you a rough idea of what to expect.

There were mixed results for “Barbenheimer” in the 2024 BAFTA Film Awards nominations, which were announced on Thursday (Jan. 18). Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer was the most nominated film, with 13 nods, but Greta Gerwig’s Barbie received just five nods and was passed over for both best film and best director. Oddly, the BAFTAs don’t have a category for best original song, which would have boosted Barbie’s total.
Poor Things was runner-up to Oppenheimer for most nods (11), followed by Killers of the Flower Moon and The Zone of Interest, with nine each; Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers and Maestro, with seven each; and All of Us Strangers with six. Barbie tied with Saltburn, with five nods.
Nominees for best original score are the late Robbie Robertson for Killers of the Flower Moon, Ludwig Göransson for Oppenheimer, Jerskin Fendrix for Poor Things, Anthony Willis for Saltburn and Daniel Pemberton for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. All five of these scores are on the Oscar shortlist for best original score, announced on Dec. 21. Oscar nominations will be announced on Jan. 23.
Last year, four of the five BAFTA-nominated scores were also nominated for Oscars.
Killers of the Flower Moon was the 12th and last Martin Scorsese film that Robertson worked on. Robertson died in June at age 80.
While Killers of the Flower Moon did well in the nominations, the film’s director, Scorsese, and lead actress, Lily Gladstone, were passed over for nods.
Two music docs are nominated for documentary – American Symphony, about Jon Batiste, and Wham!, about the 1980s chart-topping pop duo.
Bradley Cooper was nominated for lead actor, director and original screenplay for his second film as a director, Maestro. He was also a triple nominee for his first film as a director, A Star Is Born (though his writing nod on that film was for best adapted screenplay).
Fantasia Barrino is nominated for best actress for her role in The Color Purple.
Sandra Hüller was nominated for both lead actress (Anatomy of a Fall) and supporting actress (The Zone of Interest).
With both Gerwig and Emerald Fennell (Saltburn) were passed over for director nods; the only woman director in the running is Justine Triet for Anatomy of a Fall.
The BAFTA Film Awards ceremony takes place Feb. 18 from London’s Royal Festival Hall, with David Tennant, star of Doctor Who, hosting.

Alanis Morissette, Corinne Bailey Rae, Caroline Polachek, Catherine Marks, Laura Sisk and Jennifer Decilveo will be honored at the inaugural Resonator Awards on Jan. 30 at Beauty & Essex in Hollywood. The invite-only event is presented by We Are Moving the Needle, a non-profit organization that is working to advance gender equity for producers and engineers.
Resonator Impact Awards will also be presented to music executives Michael Goldstone of Mom+Pop Music and Christine Thomas of Dolby Labs for their commitment to advancing gender equity across the music industry. SiriusXM on-air personality and music journalist Jenny Eliscu will host the Resonator Awards, which are empowered by EqualizeHer.
The awards dinner will also recognize the first inductees to the Resonator Hall of Fame, which honors legendary producers and engineers who “paved the way.” Six of the honorees have won a combined total of 34 Grammys – Alicia Keys, Leslie Ann Jones, Darcy Proper, Trina Shoemaker, Ann Mincieli and Claudia Brant.
Other Hall of Fame inductees include Linda Perry, the most recent woman to receive a Grammy nomination for producer of the year, non-classical (five years ago) and Sylvia Robinson, the late singer, record producer and label executive who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (in the non-performer category) in 2022.
More Hall of Fame inductees are Marcella Araica, Lenise Bent, Lynne Earls, Angela Piva, Susan Rogers, Trina Shoemaker, Pat Sullivan and Terri Winston.
“This inaugural Resonator Awards invites the music community to come together and connect in a profound commitment to advancing gender inclusivity in the studio,” said Emily Lazar, a Grammy-winning mastering engineer and founder of We Are Moving the Needle. “This is more than a celebration, this is an historic moment where we will shine a light on a set of phenomenal creators—not because they are women, but because they are powerful producers, engineers, and artists whose work from behind the console has inspired us all. Actions speak louder than words, and this moment not only increases visibility, access, and representation, it inspires the next generation of talent to break barriers and reinvent the future of the industry.”
Lazar made history in 2019 as the first female mastering engineer to win the Grammy for best engineered album, non-classical for Beck’s Colors. She founded We Are Moving the Needle in 2021 to help close the gender gap in the recording studio.
Since it was established, We Are Moving the Needle has awarded more than $425,000 in scholarships to women and non-binary talent to attend audio education programs globally. In addition to scholarships, recipients receive support from a WAMTN soundBoard mentor to further guide them in advancing their careers. More information at wearemovingtheneedle.org.
Here’s a quick recap of the recipients of the 2024 Resonator Awards, with presenter information where available, as well as a brief description of the award, drawn from a press statement.
Alanis Morissette: Luminary of the Year Award
Taylor Swift is the leading nominee for the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards, which are set to air live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on April 1 on Fox. Swift received nine nods. Jelly Roll, 21 Savage and SZA are close behind with eight nods. Olivia Rodrigo received seven.
The nominations show the degree to which women dominated pop radio in 2023. All five nominees for pop artist of the year are women: Doja Cat, Miley Cyrus, Rodrigo, SZA and Swift.
By contrast, all five nominees for hip-hop artist of the year are men: 21 Savage, Drake, Future, Gunna and Lil Durk.
Three artists showed their versatility by being nominated as artist of the year in two genres. Jelly Roll is nominated for both country artist of the year and rock artist of the year; SZA for both pop and R&B artist of the year; and Foo Fighters for both rock and alternative artist of the year.
Jack Antonoff is the only creative who is nominated for both producer of the year and songwriter of the year.
This year’s show will include five new categories focused on pop and K-pop: pop artist of the year, pop song of the year, K-pop artist of the year, K-pop song of the year and best new artist (K-pop).
Fan voting will determine this year’s best lyrics, best music video, best fan army, social star award, favorite tour photographer, TikTok bop of the year, favorite on screen, favorite tour style and favorite debut album.
Social voting begins Thursday (Jan. 18) and will close March 25 at 11:59 p.m. PT. Fans can vote by visiting iHeartRadio.com/awards.
The 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards will air live on Monday, April 1, from 8-10 p.m. ET live/PT tape-delayed on Fox. The event will also be heard on iHeartRadio stations nationwide and on the iHeartRadio app.
The 12th annual iHeartRadio Music Awards will celebrate the most-played artists and songs on iHeartRadio stations and the iHeartRadio app throughout 2023, while also offering a preview of upcoming hits of 2024.
“The iHeartRadio Music Awards is a night where we celebrate the biggest artists and songs fans loved listening to on the radio all year long,” John Sykes, president of Entertainment Enterprises for iHeartMedia, said in a statement. “We’ll also share stories from the artists themselves about their hard-fought journeys to the top of the charts.”
“Our iHeartRadio Music Awards are special because they’re truly reflective of what listeners love,” added Tom Poleman, president and chief programming officer for iHeartMedia.
Executive producers for the iHeartRadio Music Awards are Joel Gallen, for Tenth Planet; and Sykes, Poleman and Bart Peters, for iHeartMedia.
