Grammys do away with 'secret' nomination review committees
Fox News
The Recording Academy is making several changes to the Grammy Awards, including eliminating nomination committees.
Among the notable changes is the elimination of the nomination review committees, long regarded as "secret" committees that have been accused of hurting the chances of nominations and wins by artists. "Nominations in all of the GRAMMY Award general and genre fields will now be determined by a majority, peer-to-peer vote of voting members of the Recording Academy," the academy said in a statement. "Previously, many of the categories within these fields utilized 15-30 highly skilled music peers who represented and voted within their genre communities for the final selection of nominees."More Related News
