SCREENING
Reviewing sessions by more than 100 experts in various fields are held to
insure that entered recordings meet specific qualifications and have been
placed in their proper fields such as rock, R&B, jazz, country, gospel, new age,
rap, classical, Latin and so on. The purpose of screening is not to
make artistic or technical judgments about the recordings, but rather to make
sure that each entry is eligible and placed in its proper category.
NOMINATING
First round ballots with lists of eligible recordings in all fields
except those voted on by special nominating committees are sent to
voting members who return their ballots to the independent accounting
firm of Deloitte & Touche for tabulation. To help insure the quality
of the voting, members are directed to vote only in their fields of
expertise, and to that end may nominate in the four general categories
(Record, Album, Song of the Year and Best New Artist) and in no more
than ten out of twenty-one fields on their ballots.
SPECIALIZED NOMINATING COMMITTEES
In crafts and other specialized categories, final nominations are
determined by national nominating committees of Academy's voting
members from the academy's seven chapters.
