[2003 Grammy Awards] – Complete List of Winners and Nominees (45th) ♪
Held on February 23, 2003, the 45th Annual Grammy Awards acknowledged recordings from October 1, 2001, to September 30, 2002. Norah Jones' debut Come Away with Me was an unprecedented sensation, dominating the "Big Four" categories: winning Album of the Year, Record of the Year ("Don't Know Why"), Song of the Year ("Don't Know Why"), and Best New Artist.
This remarkable sweep marked a phenomenal breakthrough for a jazz-infused artist, showcasing a return to understated artistry and timeless melodies. Other prominent winners included Eminem and Bruce Springsteen.
This ceremony demonstrated the Grammys' power to elevate new voices to superstardom and celebrated a refreshing counterpoint to the more bombastic pop of the era.
