Η νύχτα της απονομής των βραβείων Grammy 2023 ήταν μια λαμπερή βραδιά γεμάτη συγκλονιστικές εμφανίσεις και αξιομνημόνευτες στιγμές. Τα 65α βραβεία Grammy μας γέμισαν όρεξη για ακόμα περισσότερο χορό και μουσική! Ο Trevor Noah υπήρξε εκπληκτικός οικοδεσπότης, με εύστοχα αστεία, αποδεικνύοντας πως ορθώς επέστρεψε στο “πόστο” για τρίτη χρονιά.

Οι κατηγορίες ήταν συνολικά 91 και τις περισσότερες υποψηφιότητες, συνολικά 9, τις είχε η Μπιγιονσέ, που έγραψε τη δική της ιστορία στο θεσμό χθες το βράδυ. Σημαντικές νίκες συγκέντρωσε και ο Harry Styles. Ο Kendrick Lamar πρωταγωνίστησε στα βραβεία κατηγορίας “Rap”, κερδίζοντας στις 3 από τις 4 σχετικές υποκατηγορίες. Ενώ με βραβείο έφυγε και η ελληνικής καταγωγής συνθέτρια Stephanie Economou για το Soundtrack του Video Game “Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarök”.
