“Every year, millions of music fans and people around the world anticipate the announcement of our Grammy nominations, anxious to learn which artists from every genre represent the highest levels of musical excellence,” Neil Portnow, President/CEO of The Recording Academy — which puts on the Grammys — said in a press release. “The ability to showcase Grammy-winning artists combined with the nominations for the 51st Annual Grammy Awards represents a milestone for The Recording Academy as we begin the next decade of our important missions. And with the grand opening of the Grammy Museum — directly across from our Los Angeles home at Staples Center and now the NOKIA Theatre — we are proud to introduce the world to this extraordinary facility which will showcase our rich history, unique and classic Grammy moments, and the ongoing legacy exemplified by this very special evening of live music.”
The 51st Grammy Awards will be Feb. 8, 2009.
