This is what many concerned fans are probably shouting  around the world when they heard news that the Grammy categories were  reduced from 109 to 78 by the National Academy of Recording Arts and  Sciences.

The Grammy reacted by initiating the sharp reduction which  takes affect at the 54th annual awards ceremony occurring next year. The  focus was placed on reducing the Grammy prizes to strengthen its force  in the music world. This should make the award much more prestigious to  those in the music industry, said insider sources. This certainly makes  it even more difficult to receive the highly sought after award by those  in the music industry.
