Nominations for the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards will be announced on Tuesday at 12:00 PM ET / 9:00 AM PT on a live stream from the Promoter of the Recording Academy. Recording Academy Chairman and Interim President and CEO Harvey Mason Jr. will oversee the announcement of nominations in the largest of 84 categories.

Mason Jr. is accompanied by past Grammy winners, nominees, and hopefuls from remote areas who reveal most of the categories (see the run of the show below). Others involved in the Noms ceremony: Mexican singer-songwriter Pepe Aguilar, Nigerian afropop singer Yemi Alade, classical violinist Nicola Benedetti, contemporary Christian singer Lauren Daigle, country singer-songwriter Mickey Guyton, the Recording artist Imogen Heap, CBS This Morning anchor Gayle King, singer-songwriter Dua Lipa, and The Talk host Sharon Osbourne.
Last year, Billie Eilish won top pop awards with five Grammys. If Sunday’s AMAs are any indication of that, this morning you should hear Taylor Swift’s name in the top categories, along with the likes of The Weeknd, Doja Cat, and K-pop gurus BTS.

The academy is preparing several options for a production depending on the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. The live show will be the first year Ben Winston takes on the role of executive producer from Ken Ehrlich, who retired after the show in January after a 40-year career as a Grammy showrunner.
