Grammys 2023: List of winners and nominees– At the 65th Grammy Awards, 50 years of hip-hop were celebrated, making Beyoncé the most decorated artist in history. Trevor Noah returned to host the ceremony for a third straight time as the evening concluded with Harry Styles taking home the coveted award for album of the year.

When Beyoncé received her fourth award of the evening, bringing her total to 32 Grammy Awards, the most in the award’s history, she surpassed the late Hungarian-British conductor Georg Solti, who had already earned the most Grammys of any female artist in history. This year, she also tied the record for most nominations ever after securing nine nods to push her career total to 88 — a record she now shares with her husband, Jay-Z. Beyoncé received nods for major categories like record of the year, song of the year and album of the year, the latter of which she has never won.

The Grammys pre-telecast ceremony, during which most of the night’s awards were announced, took place at L.A.’s Nokia Theatre.
