\n\tThe Grammys and the Latin Grammys have a lot in common. The four highest-profile awards are the same at both shows \u2013 album, record and song of the year plus best new artist.<\/p>\n

\n\tBoth shows also present several of the same honorary awards \u2013 lifetime achievement awards (for artists), trustees awards (for people whose primary contributions are behind-the-scenes), hall of fame awards and person of the year.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd occassionally the nominees overlap. Bad Bunny could be headed for his second album of the year \u201cdouble\u201d \u2013 with nominations in that category at both the Grammys and the Latin Grammys with his latest album, Deb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos<\/em>. He\u2019s already gotten the nod from the Latin Grammys and he has a good chance of landing in that category when the Grammy nominations are announced on Nov. 7. Bunny\u2019s 2022 album, Un Verano Sin Ti<\/em>, was nominated in that category at both shows.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut there are differences too, which we\u2019ll explore in this piece. Most obviously, the Grammys are more than 40 years older. The Grammys were first presented in May 1959; the Latin Grammys in September 2000.<\/p>\n

\n\tSome of the differences are so basic \u2013 the number of nominees in each of the Big Four categories, for example, or whether songwriter and producer of the year should be bumped up to the General Field or not \u2013 that it\u2019s easy to think the two academies should \u201cget on the same page\u201d and decide together on best practices.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut the awards chiefs at the two academies don\u2019t see it that way. \u201cThe Recording Academy and The Latin Recording Academy are separate organizations with different eligibility periods, different categories,\u00a0and separate voting bodies,\u201d Luis Dousdebes, chief awards, membership & preservation officer for the Latin Recording Academy, and Ruby Marchand, chief awards & global industry officer for the Recording Academy, said in a joint statement to Billboard<\/em>. \u201cMany of our guidelines are the same but the interpretation of these guidelines can differ.\u00a0For this reason, drawing a direct comparison between how the two Academies administer and interpret these guidelines doesn\u2019t reflect the spirit in which the two Academies complement each other, rather than mirror each other, since they serve different communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHere are nine ways the two shows differ.<\/p>\n
