The 35th Annual Grammy Awards were held on February 24, 1993 and recognized accomplishments by musicians from the previous year.[3] The nominations were announced on January 7, 1993.[4] The evening's host was the American stand-up comedian Garry Shandling, who hosted the ceremony for the third time.[5] The CBS network broadcast the show live from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California.[6]

This particular Grammy live broadcast was the commercially most successful of its kind in the 1990s.[7] As Nielsen Media Research and Billboard magazine stated on January 10, 2004, "the highest-rated Grammy show of the 1990s was the 1993 telecast, which got a 19.9 rating/31 share and 30 million United States viewers" alone.[1] British guitarist and singer Eric Clapton was the night's big winner, winning six awards out of nine nominations including Album, Song and Record of the Year.[8]

Michael Jackson received the Grammy Legend Award from his sister Janet Jackson. A small segment of the show was "How to Become a Legend" narrated by Janet.[9]
