A Grammy Award (originally called Gramophone Award) – or Grammy – is an accolade by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States to recognize outstanding achievement in the music industry.
The annual presentation ceremony features performances by prominent
artists, and some of the awards of more popular interest are presented
in a widely viewed televised ceremony. It is the music equivalent to the
Emmy Awards for television, the Tony Awards for stage performances, and the Academy Awards for motion pictures.The first Grammy Awards ceremony was held on May 4, 1959, and it was set up to honor musical accomplishments by performers for the year 1958. Following the 2011 ceremony, NARAS overhauled many Grammy Award categories for 2012. The 55th Grammy Awards were held on February 10, 2013, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.
