Let’s face it, the Grammys don’t always get it right. Think back to 2015 when Beck beat Beyoncé. Perhaps the most galling was the 1967 best contemporary rock and roll recording going to the New Vaudeville Band’s “Winchester Cathedral” … and not “Eleanor Rigby” by The Beatles or “Good Vibrations” by The Beach Boys. But the gold-plated gramophones that will be handed out at tonight’s socially distanced 63rd Grammy Awards, hosted by Trevor Noah, still constitute a landmark moment for these artists, establishing their credentials on the biggest night in music. Today’s Sunday Magazine tells you the surprise nominees and trends to know, and introduces you to the Grammy winners of tomorrow. Don’t say you didn’t see them coming.
Tonight, March 14, the 63rd GRAMMY Awards air on CBS, and of the 83 categories, Broadway fans care about just one- Best Musical Theater Album. Lucky for us, the winner was announced ahead of the broadcast, as a part of the Premiere Ceremony.
