    In May 1959, at a star-stud­ded ban­quet in the Beverly Hilton, the Na­tion­al Academy of Re­cord­ing Arts and Sci­ences handed out 28 Grammys. The academy, foun­ded two years earli­er, was a re­l­at­ive late­comer to the awards game, with the first Oscars hav­ing been handed out 30 years earli­er and the first Emmys 10 years pri­or. The num­ber of Grammy cat­egor­ies once grew to more than 100, but now stands at 81. Use the ar­rows be­low — or on your key­board — to learn more. (Key win­ners are high­lighted for each year.)
