Here is the full winners list for each rock and metal category at the 2023 Grammy Awards.
A total of four awards will be doled out at “Music’s Biggest Night” — Best Rock Performance, Best Metal Performance, Best Rock Song and Best Rock Album.
Only one artist — Ozzy Osbourne — has been nominated in each category. For Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song, the 74-year-old legend was nominated for the title track to last year’s Patient Number 9 album, which features a guest appearance from the now late Jeff Beck.
For Best Metal Performance, the Prince of Darkness earned a nod for the single “Degradation Rules,” another song with a cameo, this time from his Black Sabbath bandmate Tony Iommi. And in the Best Rock Album category, Patient Number 9 is among five total nominees.
The next most decorated nominee are Turnstile, whose single “Holiday” is up for Best Rock Performance while “Blackout” contends for Best Metal Performance and Best Rock Song.
There’s also the Best Alternative Music Album, Best Alternative Music Performance and more categories and even some rock-related acts nominated in other categories that aren’t just rock.
The 65th annual Grammy Awards is being broadcasted on CBS and streaming on Paramount+ and will begin at 8PM ET. The non-televised pre-ceremony starts at 3:30PM ET and can be viewed here.
