The Grammy Awards 2020 has been mired in controversy with the ousted CEO of Recording Academy making allegations about the voting procedure of the organisation. She even claimed of "rampant sexism" at the Academy. The 62nd Annual Grammy Awards ceremony will be about blockbuster musical performances, high-wattage celebrity moments and a lot more.

A pre-telecast premiere ceremony will be hosted by Imogen Heap, where dozens of awards are given out from the Staples Center at the Microsoft Theater.
