The 63rd Grammy Awards airs tonight at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET on CBS. Though it’s a live broadcast from the large Los Angeles Convention Center and other nearby locations, the Recording Academy has teased a more intimate Grammys, which is a surprise — aside from members of the media, there won’t actually be anyone watching in person. Without an audience, who will watch the performances (which were recently announced) and cheer on all the winners?
Like the Golden Globes, most Grammy Award nominees will appear virtually. Hopefully, unlike the Globes, there won’t be any accidentally muted audio — after all, sound is a key component for a music awards show.
