The Grammy Awards are like any other red carpet events - the Emmy Awards, the Golden Globe Awards, the Academy Awards, and so on. Every ceremony has nomination honors and wins.
There are records -
Most wins (Georg Solti, a Hungarian-British conductor with 31 Grammy's)
Most nominations without a win (Morten Lindberg, a Norwegian sound engineer and music producer with 26)
In the case of this Set List post, there is also the record for the most Grammy nominations in one night without winning.
The record for most Grammy nominations in one night without winning was set in 1966 by Paul McCartney - 9 nominations.
The conclusion of this list is 5 most Grammy nominations in one night without winning. Artists include -
Elvis Presley (1961)
Frank Sinatra (1961)
Sting (1986)
Avril Lavigne (2003)
Alicia Keys (2006)
Gwen Stefani (2006)
Prince (2007)
*The above list is not all inclusive. The full list of 5 most Grammy nominations in one night without winning can be found on Wikipedia.
My take away -
I cannot imagine setting a record for most nominations...only not to win. Frustration, the feeling of coming so close, the thought of perhaps another time. Setting records on the world stage...I just cannot imagine.
On the other hand, legacies set by Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and Prince are more profound than any Grammy Award nomination or win.
