Grammy Awards to formally recognize 'video game music' for several awards | Joystiq

The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences has altered four of its annual awards, making it clearer that video games can be nominated for the category. As IndustryGamers notes, although it's a minor alteration, it's a big deal that video games are getting equal recognition with film and television. The four awards amended by the Academy are:

• The Music for Visual Media (Motion, Television, Video Game Music, or Other Visual Media)
• Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media (Motion, Television, Video Game Music, or Other Visual Media)
• Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media (Motion, Television, Video Game Music, or Other Visual Media)
• Best Song Written for Visual Media (Motion, Television, Video Game Music, or Other Visual Media)
