TheGrammy Award for Best Music Film is an annual accolade for performers, directors, and producers of quality videos or musical programs. It is presented at theGrammy Awards, a ceremony established in 1958 when it was called the Gramophone Awards.[1]

Criteria

[edit]

Honors in several categories are presented at the ceremony annually by theNational Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States to "honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position".[2] In order to qualify for this category, concert/performance films or music documentaries must be released theatrically or for sale to the public for the first time or first appearing on television or online during the current eligibility year. Dramatic feature films and biopics are not eligible.[3]

Prior to 2024, films were only considered eligible for this category if they featured a minimum of 51% performance-based material. As of the66th Annual Grammy Awards, this requirement has been removed entirely.[4]

Background

[edit]

The category was preceded by theGrammy Award for Video of the Year, which was presented in 1982 and 1983, awarding long form videos (or video albums as they were known back then) in the budding music video market. Along with the similar honorGrammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video, this award was first presented in 1984. From 1984 to 1985, the accolade was known as Best Video Album, but in 1986, it was renamed to Best Music Video, Long Form. From 1998 to 2012, it was named Best Long Form Music Video,[5][6][7] before changing to Best Music Film since 2013.

In 1988 and 1989, the award criteria were changed and the video accolades were presented under the categoriesBest Concept Music Video andBest Performance Music Video. The awards were returned to the original format in 1990. Except in 1988 and 1989, the Grammy Award for Best Long Form Music Video recipients included the artists, directors, and producers associated with the winning videos. The Best Music Film category is one of two categories in the Best Music Video/Film Field. The other one isBest Music Video, which recognizes stand-alone videos of one song or performance. In 2024, the Field was abolished and both categories were moved to a Children's, Comedy, Audio Book Narration & Storytelling, Visual Media & Music Video/Film Field.

Multiple wins and nominations

[edit]

SingersMadonna andSting hold the record for the most wins as a performer in this category, with two each, while there have been three films aboutthe Beatles among the winners. However, in two instances, the Beatles were not recognized as individual winners. To date, three directors won the award twice:David Mallet,Jonas Akerlund and Bob Smeaton.Beyoncé holds the record for the most nominations with five. The Britishpop rock groupEurythmics andColdplay hold the record for the most nominations as a performer without a win, with three each. AlthoughBeyoncé also held four losing nominations, she won with her fourth nomination withHomecoming in 2020.
