New format

I noticed in previous pages that the names of producers/engineers, in Album/Record of the Year, do not appear and the songwriters' name (for Best Songs) are in parenthesis despite they being the only recipients of the award. That is why I think we should make a slight change in the format that would be similar to the ones used in the Grammys pages (examples here. I propose the following

For Album of the Year and Record of the Year:

Artist(s) names — Work
- names of producers and engineers

For Song of the Year and other "Best... Song" categories

Songwriter(s) name — "Song" (Performer's name)

For the rest of categories:

Artist(s) names — Album

What do you guys think? —TonyKuKo 0106 (talk) 01:02, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good Idea. Actually this should be done on the pages for previous Latin Grammy ceremonies as well. We can definatly start today with the nominees for this November's awards. --MusicGeek101 (talk) 14:08, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have already revamped the 2010 page I'll keep on doing the rest during the following days because I'm having some difficultes with my connection. However if somebody else would do it. It'll be appreciated. Tony0106 (talk) 15:30, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Don't change the format, this is the Latin Grammy format, not all the awards shows have the same format, stopped. In fact only the 2010 and 2011 Grammy Awards pages have the format that you say, see it. --Elekimante

Latinoamérica

The song "Latinoamérica" by Calle 13 is featured vocals by Totó la Momposina, Susana Baca and Maria Rita. --Elekimante

Producers engineers & mixers in General Field

To clear this up. For the award for Record of the Year, the producers, engineers & mixers also get nominated. Whichever recording wins, they win too. For album of the Year, the producers, engineers/mixers and mastering engineer are also nominated. Again, whichever recording wins, they win too. The names of these individuals should be included on this page. LARAS lists their names on the official nominations list. If they were not nominees, their names would not appear.

The official nominees list says (for record of the year):

"Award to the Artist and to the Producer(s), Recording Engineer(s) and/or Mixer(s) if other than the artist.

Again for Album of the Year it says:

Award to the Artist(s), and to the Album Producer(s), Recording Engineer(s) / Mixer(s) & Mastering Engineer(s) if other than the artist.

Song-related awards

All the songs-related awards. Song of the Year, Best Urban Song, Best Rock Song, etc... is reserved for songwriter's only. The performing artist(s) are only listed in parenthesis "( )" as its shown here. That is why I consider that we should put the songwriter's name ahead of the song and performing artist because if you put the performer first it makes you think that the artist also receives the award and that ain't true. Thanks. Tony0106 (talk) 03:19, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alphabetical

We should keep the nominees list in alphabetical order as awards are presented and just boldface the winners name. This makes it easier to read and keeps it organized. --MusicGeek101 (talk) 00:12, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
