The nominees for the 60th Annual Grammy Awards were announced earlier today. Bruno Mars, Kendrick Lamar and Luis Fonsi top the list of nominations along with Jay-Z. Missing from the list entirely is Taylor Swift, while Ed Sheeran earned very few.
In fact, the nine most-nominated artists are people of color, and for the first time since 1999 Album of the Year a white male on the nomination list. That year, it was Sheryl Crow, Garbage, Lauryn Hill, Madonna and Shania Twain, a very female-centric selection.
The new artist nominations went to Alessia Cara, Khalid, Lil Uzi Vert, Julia Michaels and SZA.
Song of the year includes "Despacito," "4:44," "Issues," "1-800-273-8255," and "That's What I Like"
Movie soundtrack nominations went to Baby Driver, Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2: Awesome Mix Vol. 2, Hidden Figures: The Album, La La Land and Moana: The Songs.
