Grammy Awards Unveil Inaugural Nominees for Video Game Category

The nominees for the upcoming Grammy Awards have been revealed, featuring notable video game soundtracks from Call of Duty, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Earlier this year, a new category was introduced to recognize the best soundtracks in video games and other interactive media. The first-ever nominees in this category include: - Aliens: Fireteam Elite, composed by Austin Wintory - Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Dawn Of Ragnarök, composed by Stephanie Economou - Call Of Duty: Vanguard, composed by Bear McCreary - Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy, composed by Richard Jacques - Old World, composed by Christopher Tin The 65th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony is scheduled to take place on February 5, 2023, in Los Angeles. Although this is the first time a dedicated video game category has been introduced, the Grammys announced in 2011 that video games would be considered equivalent to television and film in the main award categories. Following this announcement, the song Baba Yetu, originally composed for Civilization 4, made history as the first video game soundtrack to win a Grammy award.
