The Grammy Awards are going live this Sunday and you have completely forgotten who was nominated haven’t you?
It’s alright, dear reader, your friendly neighborhood Web producer has your back.
Here are the nominations for Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Best New Artist, Best Pop Solo Performance, Best Pop Group Performance, Best Pop Vocal Album, and Best Rap Album — the award categories that (I’m assuming) the vast majority of you care about. We’ve put an asterisk next to the nominees we think will win, and a hashtag next to the ones we hope will win (there is a distinct difference).
Record of the Year Album of the Year Song of the Year Best New Artist Best Pop Solo Performance Best Pop Duo/Group Performance Best Pop Vocal Album Best Rap Album Check out the rest of the nominees on The Grammy Awards website.
The award ceremony will feature a ton of performers including Madonna, Ariana Grande, Sia, Kanye West and more. Kanye West will be performing alongside Paul McCartney and Rhianna for their new collaboration FourFiveSeconds: Also, becuase we’re really nice people, we made a playlist of some of the key nominees for this year’s awards. Take a listen to it below:
Do you agree with our predictions and hopes? You probably don’t so go ahead and scream at me on twitter about it.
The Grammy Awards will go live this Sunday at 8 PM EST on CBS.
