11월 23일 2022 그래미 어워즈(이하 그래미) 후보 명단이 공개됐다. 그래미를 주관하는 미국 레코딩 아카데미 회원 1만 2천 명이 10월 22일부터 11월 5일까지 투표한 결과이다. 최다 노미네이트 아티스트는 11개 부문에 오른 존 바티스트(Jon Batiste)이다. 재즈 거장들을 이을 차세대 재즈 뮤지션으로 평가받는 그는 미국 CBS 토크쇼 <더 레이트 쇼 위드 스티븐 콜베어(The Late Show With Stephen Colbert)>의 음악 감독이자 재즈 키보디스트로 활동 중이다. 이번 그래미에는 자신의 앨범 [We Are]과
그 밖에 빌보드 핫 100 차트에서 우수한 성적을 냈던 아티스트의 노미네이트 결과를 살펴보면, 테일러 스위프트(Taylor Swift)는 [evermore]로 ‘올해의 앨범’ 한 부문에만 이름을 올렸다. [Donda]로 전 세계를 떠들썩하게 했던 칸예 웨스트(Kanye West)는 ‘올해의 앨범’부터 ‘베스트 랩 앨범’, ‘베스트 랩 노래’, ‘베스트 멜로딕 랩 퍼포먼스’까지 총 4개 부문에 지명됐다. 칸예와 비슷한 시기에 정규 앨범 [Certified Lover Boy]를 발표한 드레이크는 ‘베스트 랩 앨범’과 ‘베스트 랩 퍼포먼스’ 2개의 부문에 올랐다. 항상 이슈를 몰고 다니는 릴 나스 엑스(Lil Nas X)는 본상 3개 부문(‘올해의 앨범’, ‘올해의 레코드’, ‘올해의 노래’)을 포함해 총 5개 부문에 오르며 마케팅으로 성공한 래퍼라는 비판을 잠재운 듯 보인다.
한편, 방탄소년단(BTS)은 본상 격인 빅 4 부문에는 오르지 못했지만, 작년에 이어 올해도 ‘베스트 팝 듀오/그룹 퍼포먼스’ 후보에 올랐다. 콜드플레이(Coldplay), 도자 캣 & 시저(Doja Cat & SZA), 토니 베넷 & 레이디 가가(Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga), 저스틴 비버 & 베니 블랑코(Justin Bieber & Benny Blanco)와 해당 부문에서 경쟁하게 된다. 과연 ‘Butter’로 그래미의 첫 트로피를 거머쥘지 관심이 쏠린다.
방탄소년단 외에 한국인 아티스트가 또 한 명 후보로 지명됐다. ‘베스트 리믹스 레코딩(Best Remixed Recording)’ 부문에 오른 프로듀서 겸 아티스트인 이스케이프드림(3SCAPE DRM)으로 DJ 제드(Zedd)와 그리프(Griff)의 곡 ‘Inside Out’으로 후보에 올랐다.
지난 2월 9일 세상을 떠난 칙 코리아(Chick Corea)의 올해 수상 결과는 역대 최다 수상자 2위 기록에 영향을 미칠 것으로 보인다. 그는 지금까지 그래미에서 25개의 트로피를 가져갔으며, 만약 이번에 후보에 오른 4개 부문에서 모두 수상하면 그래미 역사상 두 번째로 많은 상을 받은 아티스트가 된다. 현재 역대 최다 수상자는 총 31회 수상한 영국의 클래식 지휘자 게오르그 솔티(Georg Solti)이다. 비욘세(Beyonce)와 퀸시 존스(Quincy Jones)가 28회로 그 뒤를 잇는다.
