The 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards will be presented on February 12.  You can find a list of current nominees and a searchable database of past winners back to 1958, when GRAMMY’s first Record and Song of the Year was “Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu (Volare)<” at http://www.grammy.com.  There is also information about the Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Award, Trustees Award, Technical GRAMMY Award, GRAMMY Legend Award and the GRAMMY Hall of Fame.

The Latin Recording Academy bestows the Latin GRAMMY on Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking recording artists, musicians, songwriters and others.  Its website, http://www.latingrammy.com, is accessible in English, Spanish or Portuguese.

Although the name “GRAMMY” may have come from “gramophone,” and the award itself is in the shape of one, there is actually another musical award entitled the Gramophone Award.  Gramophone Magazine, “The world’s authority on classical music since 1923,” has presented this award since 1977 in a variety of categories including baroque, instrumental, concerto, opera and orchestral music.  At http://www.gramophone.net/ you will find an archive of every issue of the magazine since April 1923 searchable by keyword and date.

Fans of music with a little twang know about the ACM (Academy of Country Music) and CMA (Country Music Association) Awards.  At http://www.acmcountry.com/ there is a searchable databse of winners and at http://cmaawards.cmaworld.com/ there are lists of current and previous winners.

For those who like movement with their music, there are the MTV Video Music Awards.  At http://www.mtv.com you can search by year, category and more.
