The Grammys are the first of the Big Three networks' major music awards held annually, and are considered one of the four major annual American entertainment awards with the Academy Awards (for films), the Emmy Awards (for television), and the Tony Awards (for Broadway theater). The first Grammy Awards ceremony was held on May 4, 1959, to honor the musical accomplishments of performers for the year 1958. After the 2011 ceremony, the Recording Academy overhauled many Grammy Award categories for 2012. Since 2023, the ceremony was held on the first Sunday of February and one week before the Super Bowl. The 68th Annual Grammy Awards, featuring a total of 95 categories, were presented on February 1, 2026.
