Grammy Awards will Cut the Number of Categories

CHART REFLECTION. The 2012 Grammys will not look the same. A total of 31 categories will be cut as the ceremony is getting a makeover. This means that only one award per genre will be presented – e.g. best rock, pop or r’n’b act. The number of categories within classical music and folk will also be limited while Hawaiian, Native American, Zydeco/Cajun and polka will be merge into a “regional roots” section. The total number of categories will be 78.
