Grammy Awards 2023 LIVE Updates: Ricky Kej wins third Grammy, says 'I dedicate this award to India'

Grammy Awards, the highest honours in the music industry, will be handed out at a LIVE ceremony hosted by Trevor Noah. Beyonce stands to rewrite award show history and become the most decorated artist in music hostory. Viola Davis also stands to join Jennifer Hudson, John Legend and Rita Moreno as the few EGOT winners (Emmys, Grammys, Oscars and Tony).The last few years have seen swirling debate over how to separate art from the artist -- or whether to do so -- and concerns over "cancelling" entertainers accused of harmful behavior offstage.Many of the Grammy perennials have returned -- but a handful of expected contenders were muted, or sidelined altogether.Bad Bunny received a long-deserved nod for Album of the Year, but was inexplicably excluded from Song and Record of the Year -- his standout smash "Titi Me Pregunto" has been blaring from US car stereos for months -- as throwback artists including ABBA and Bonnie Raitt swept into the top categories.Rosalia was relegated to the Latin Rock and Alternative categories as her buzzy, critically acclaimed album "Motomami" was left out of more prestigious fields, while the absence of rap queens Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion was stark.Yet some of the Grammy darlings who continue to churn out work that critics count as past their prime persisted, with Coldplay and Brandi Carlile earning a crop of nominations as they've done year after year.
