Nearly four million viewers tuned in across multiple platforms to watch this year’s MTV Video Music Awards, which aired on Tuesday, Sept. 12.

Music’s biggest night was a success for many acts and artists at the 64th annual Grammy Awards this year, hosted by comedian Trevor Noah.

After COVID-19 put a damper on the world, Broadway included, the 74th Annual Tony Award show was postponed for over a year.

The 63rd Grammy Awards were held on Sunday, March 14 at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles. The entire event was held in person, unlike other 2021 award shows such as the Emmys and the Golden Globes, which opted for partially or entirely virtual events. Hosted by Trevor Noah, the night was filled with live performances and big wins for artists such as Megan Thee Stallion, Beyoncé and Taylor Swift.

As part of their initiative to promote diversity, the academy released their newest standards for representation and inclusion on Tuesday, Sept. 8. With these new requirements come four standards that films must meet in order to be considered eligible for the Best Picture category at the 96th Academy Awards.
