With the six nominations, The Weeknd matched his personal records for both 2016 and 2021.
Background
Most nominations were announced on January 31, 2023.[2] The nominees for Rap Album or EP of the Year, however, were announced on January 30 on the debut episode of Elamin Abdelmahmoud's new CBC Radio One talk show Commotion.[3]
Most winners were announced at the "opening night" event on March 11, 2023, with only select high-profile categories reserved for the main ceremony on March 13.[4]
The ceremony had originally been scheduled for March 12,[5] but was rescheduled for the next day after the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced March 12 as the date of the 95th Academy Awards.[6]
Performances
The first wave of performers for the ceremony were announced in early January with Tennille Townes, and AP Dhillon confirmed a few days later.[7] The 50 Years of Hip Hop performance was announced on March 3.
During the show's broadcast Casey Hatherly walked topless onto the stage while Avril Lavigne was introducing AP Dhillon for his performance. Hatherly displayed slogans to protest climate related causes before being escorted off the stage.[8][9]
