This includes all famous artists, famous artists, songwriters, producers, engineers, mixers and mastering engineers. This is different from the decision made in 2021, which allowed anyone who worked on the album to receive a nomination.

The number of applicants for participation in the Big Four categories — Best New Artist, as well as Album, Song and Recording of the year — reduced from 10 to 8 nominees.

Previously, in nominations for the Best Musical Film category, 50 percent of documentaries had to be based on performance. The Recording Academy has removed this requirement.

This change better reflects the evolution of the music document format, often a collection of real-life and archival material, such as Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry on Apple TV.

Biopics and dramatic feature films are still not allowed.

Also allowed are «music and standalone music videos that together create a visual album (if the videos are packaged and presented together as one coherent movie)»

Beyoncé's 2016 film Lemonade spearheaded the creation of these videos.

The Recording Academy also announced that the Best Improvised Jazz Solo award has been renamed to Best Jazz Performance and the Best Regional Mexican Music Album (including Tejano) has been renamed to Best Mexican Music Album (including Tejano) .

To qualify for the latter category, 50% of the lyrics must be in Spanish, or most of the musical content must reflect the traditional style of Mexican music such as banda, norteño, corridos, gruperos, mariachi, rancheros, sierreño, jarocho, huasteco and huapango.

These changes follow the addition of three new categories announced Tuesday: Best Pop Dance Recording, Best African Music Performance and Best Alternative Jazz Album. .
