Grammy Awards given out at the ceremony are actually "stunt Grammies." They are only for show.

Grammy Awards given out at the ceremony are actually "stunt Grammies." They are only for show.

The winners won't actually receive their personalized statues for a few more months.


The actual trophies are all hand made and assembled. Years ago, the old smaller gramophone had to be revamped because the metals were too soft and there were many problems with the trophy breaking. The trophy was made bigger and grander. The Grammy is assembled in pieces and finally finished off in gold plating. As of 2007, 7,578 Grammy trophies have been awarded. Georg Solti, Quincy Jones, Alison Krauss, and U2 hold the records for the most Grammys received.
