Hollywood gave us another night to remember!
The 68th Annual Grammy Awards delivered a historic night for the music industry, hosted for the sixth time by 2x Emmy award winner Trevor Noah at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California on Sunday, Feb. 1, 2026.
Prior to this year’s telecast, the GRAMMY Awards Premiere Ceremony® was held at the Peacock Theater at 12:30 p.m. PT and streamed live on live.GRAMMY.com and the Recording Academy’s YouTube channel. The 2026 GRAMMY Awards were produced by Fulwell Entertainment for the Recording Academy. Ben Winston, Raj Kapoor and Jesse Collins are executive producers. There were tons of highlights, memorable moments, historic first-time records being made, and so much more.
This year’s ceremony celebrated achievements across 95 categories, featuring significant highlights including special tributes to D’Angelo, Ozzy Osbourne, and Roberta Flack, as well as the introduction of two new categories: Best Traditional Country Album and Best Album Cover.
The evening was marked by several record-breaking milestones. Kendrick Lamar led the nominations and made history as the most-decorated rapper in Grammy history with 26 total wins, surpassing Jay-Z’s previous record. Lady Gaga also continued her success, securing her 17th career Grammy with Best Pop Vocal Album for Mayhem. Other notable winners included Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell, who earned their third Song of the Year award for “Wildflower,” and Olivia Dean, who was named Best New Artist.
In addition to the musical performances, the Recording Academy honored Pharrell Williams with the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award. We also witnessed Steven Spielberg achieving EGOT status after winning Best Music Film for producing the Music By John Williams documentary.
