The 41st Annual Grammy Awards were held on February 24, 1999, at Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles. They recognized accomplishments by musicians from the year 1998. Lauryn Hill received the most nominations with 10, setting a record for the most nominations for female artist in one night.[1] During the ceremony, Hill became the first woman to receive 5 Grammy Awards in a single night, and the first woman rapper to take home Best New Artist.[2] Her album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill became the first hip hop album to win the award for Album of the Year.[3] Hill's Grammys sweep is widely considered as one of the biggest moments in hip hop history.[4]
Songwriters James Horner and Will Jennings won Song of the Year for Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On". Dion herself took home Record of the Year for the latter song.[5] The ceremony was known as the "Grammy Year of Women", because every artist nominated for Album of the Year was female (including Garbage, with Shirley Manson as the lead singer).[6][7]
Madonna won three awards and opened the show with her performance of "Nothing Really Matters".[8] While musicians the Dixie Chicks, Vince Gill, Alanis Morissette, Stevie Wonder and Shania Twain won two apiece.[9][10][11] It is widely remembered for Ricky Martin's performance of "La Copa De La Vida"/ "The Cup of Life".[12]
