The 2009 Grammy Awards took place on Sunday February 8th. Check back for more news and to see if your favorite artists were honored. The Grammys is the top awards show for the music industry. Held yearly, the show consists of an incredible red carpet, some of the music industry's most well known and some of the best live performances of the year.
The Grammy Awards (originally called the Gramophone Awards)—or Grammys—are presented annually by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States for outstanding achievements in the music industry. The awards ceremony features performances by prominent artists, and some of the awards of more popular interest are presented in a widely-viewed televised ceremony. The current President of the Academy is Neil Portnow.
The awards were established in 1958. Prior to the first live Grammys telecast in 1971 on ABC, a series of taped annual specials in the 1960s called The Best on Record were broadcast on NBC. The first Grammy Award telecast took place on the night of November 29, 1959, as an episode of the NBC anthology series Sunday Showcase, which was normally devoted to plays, original TV dramas, and variety shows. Until 1971, awards ceremonies were held in both New York and Los Angeles, with winners accepting at one of the two. Pierre Cossette bought the rights to broadcast the ceremony from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences and organized the first live telecast.[1] CBS bought the rights in 1973 after moving the ceremony to Nashville, Tennessee; the American Music Awards were created for ABC as a result.
The award ceremony is generally held in February. The upcoming 51st Grammy Awards ceremony will be on February 8, 2009, and this will be the sixth consecutive year that the Grammys have been held at Los Angeles' Staples Center.

One look at the complete list of nominees for the 52nd Grammy Awards (technically the 2009 Grammy Awards, but, given they're held in 2010, that confuses many), and it's pretty easy to tell those on the voting panel have some truly, truly terrible taste in music. Katy Perry? Seal? The Fray? Tony Bennett's A Swingin' Christmas? Ouch.
