The38th Annual Grammy Awardswere held on February 28, 1996, atShrine Auditorium,Los Angeles. The awards recognized accomplishments by musicians from the previous year.Alanis Morissettewas the main recipient, being awarded four trophies, including Album of the Year.[1]Mariah CareyandBoyz II Menopened the show with their Record of the Year nominated "One Sweet Day".
The ceremony was controversial for its unexpected snub ofMariah Carey'sDaydreamalbum, which proved to be one of the bestselling and most acclaimed albums of 1995.[2]When the Grammy Award nominees were announced, andDaydreamwas nominated for six different awards, critics began raving how it would be "cleaning up" that year.[3]Carey, being a multiple award nominee, was one of the headlining performers. Together withBoyz II Men,she sang a live rendition of "One Sweet Day",to a very positive response.[4]The album had lost all of its six nominations, shocking most critics who branded it the "album of the year".[5]Carey did not perform again until the2006 ceremony,when she was nominated for eight awards (winning three) forThe Emancipation of Mimi.[6]
The ceremony is also significant forTupac ShakurintroducingPeter Criss,Ace Frehley,Gene Simmons,andPaul StanleyofKissfor the first time in full makeup and costume since 1979. Shakur said "And I've seen just about everything now," in response to seeing Kiss walk on stage to announce the nominees forBest Pop Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocal.[7]
