As another year comes to a close, awards season comes barreling around the corner. Kicking it off with full bravado, the Recording Academy announced the nominees for the 60th annual Grammy Awards on Tuesday morning.

The 2018 Grammy Awards nominations aired live on “CBS This Morning” with singer/songwriter Andra Day revealing the names of the nominees in the four General Field categories (Best New Artist, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Album Of The Year). The other nominations in all 84 categories were announced via Grammy.com and social media platforms.

Jay-Z reigned supreme with eight nominations ― including album, song, and record of the year ― and Kendrick Lamar tailed just behind him with seven nods. The nominations this year are overwhelmingly rap- and R&B- laden, which as The AP notes, come just a year after Beyonce’s “Lemonade” was snubbed for Album of the Year by Adele’s “25.” Adele herself even noted that Beyonce should have won.

Album of the Year:

“Awaken, My Love!“ ― Childish Gambino

4:44 ― JAY-Z

DAMN. ― Kendrick Lamar

Melodrama ― Lorde

24K Magic ― Bruno Mars

    They will find a way to put eminem or post malone in it.

    I like jay album, but lets be real. Grammy is a pop contest and I can damn sure tell you that the old white dudes that make this category didn't listen to more than 2 songs of hov album.

    Says grammys are voted on by musicians' peers.

    Who is this mysterious Recording Academy you ask? The Recording Academy is a community of musicians that vote on the nominations and winners of Grammys. The Grammys prides itself on the fact that winners are voted on by their peers. Joining the Recording Academy isn’t too difficult. An artist can apply in their category of expertise: vocalist, producer, engineer, etc, by filling out an application form and paying $100 annual dues. So, if the artists don’t pay the money, their voices won’t be heard. While $100 isn’t a lot of money for Diddy, it may be too hefty a price tag for the struggling artists out there. He or she also has to have contributed to six retail tracks released via traditional distribution or 12 digitally released tracks.
