Grammy Awards, presented by the Recording Academy (an association of Americans professionally involved in the recorded music industry) for outstanding achievements in musical recordings, is one of four major music awards shows held annually (the others being the Billboard Music Awards, the American Music Awards, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony).
However, the Grammys (usually held in February as the last of the "big three" music awards shows--the others being the BMAs and the AMAs) is the approximate equivalent, in the music world, to the Oscarss.
The awards are named for the trophy given for them, a small gilded statuette of a gramophone.

 47th Grammy Awards
If you've been listening for the story of this year's Grammy Awards, then chances are you've been hearing the beat of the street: Nominees for the 47th annual Grammys, to be presented Sunday at Staples Center in Los Angeles, reflect a decidedly urban flava.
At the 1959 ceremony, gold-plated Victrolas were handed out to winners in 28 categories; this year, the academy's 12,000 music professionals voted on nominees in 107 categories (up two from 2004), in 31 genres.
Awards in about 95 categories will be doled out during a pretelecast ceremony that commences at 1:30 p.m.

However, the Grammys, usually held in February, (last of what are considered the "big three" music awards shows, including the BMA and AMA shows) are considered the approximate equivalent to the Oscars, in the music world.
Like the Oscars, the Grammys, which currently have 105 categories within 30 genres of music (such as pop, gospel, and rap), are voted upon by peers - voting members of the Recording Academy - rather than being based upon popularity (as with the BMAs and the AMAs).
The awards are named for the trophy which the winner receives - a small gilded statuette of a gramophone.

By continuing to honor the past, the Grammy organization is compounding its long-running credibility problem by not recognizing the truly deserving artists of today.
Grammy voters would have better served Charles' legacy — and their own credibility — by honoring West, Keys or Usher in the album of the year category.
The result is that the Grammys still have the feel of a crapshoot, even though the Recording Academy deserves much credit for taking dramatic steps to upgrade its credibility in recent years.

The Grammy Awards are considered the top awards in the music industry - many artists strive to win one - but the 47-year-old award ceremony has a history of being out-of-sync with public opinion and too slow to adapt to the changing trends in music.
The awards grew in number with each year, quadrupling over the nearly 50 years of the ceremony.
Even in the '70s, the Grammys were still ironing out the kinks, and the ceremony was still lacking fields more risqué than folk and gospel.
