Here's who will be duking it out for Album of the Year, Best New Artist and more at the 61st annual GRAMMY Awards.
Did your fave make the guest list for Music's Biggest Night?
On Friday morning, the Recording Academy, with the help of Alessia Cara, Janelle Monae and Shawn Mendes, announced nominations for the 2019 GRAMMY Awards, spanning every genre of music over a whopping 84 categories. This year, there are more nominees than ever, as the four biggest awards -- Record, Album and Song of the year, plus Best New Artist -- have expanded from five to eight slots. There's also a newly rebranded Best Immersive Audio Album category!
At this year's show, Bruno Mars collected all three of the night's top honors, but it's anyone's guess who will take home Golden Gramophones come 2019. We'll find out when the 61st annual GRAMMYs air on Feb. 10 on CBS.
