The 56th Annual Grammy Awards will be held on January 26, 2014, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.[1] The show will broadcast on CBS at 8 p.m. ET/P. The show is moved to January to avoid competing against the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. The eligibility period for the 56th Annual Grammy Awards is October 1, 2012 to September 30, 2013.[2] The nominations were announced on December 6, 2013 during a live televised concert on CBS, The Grammy Nominations Concert Live – Countdown to Music's Biggest Night.[3] Jay-Z received the most nominations with nine. Justin Timberlake, Kendrick Lamar, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Pharrell Williams all got seven nominations. Pharrell Williams is nominated twice for both Album of the Year and Record of the Year. Sound engineer Bob Ludwig received the most nomination by a non-performing artist, with five.[4][5]
Carole King was honored as MusiCares Person of the Year on January 24, two days prior to the awards ceremony.[6]
On June 4, 2013, the Recording Academy approved a number of changes recommended by its Awards & Nominations Committee: A new category for Best American Roots Song has been added to the American Roots Music field. It is a songwriter's award, which will encompass all the subgenres in this field such as Americana, bluegrass, blues, folk and regional roots music. The Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance category will be renamed Best Metal Performance and becomes a stand-alone category. Hard rock performances will now be screened in the Best Rock Performance category. The Music Video field will become the Best Music Video/Film field. Its two categories will be renamed: Best Short Form Music Video will now be known as Best Music Video and Best Long Form Music Video will change into Best Music Film. These changes bring the total number of categories at the 2014 Grammy Awards to 82.[7]
