GRAMMY Awards 2018: The Complete Nominations List

The nominations for the 60th annual Grammy Awards are in — and it may have a couple shakeups and surprises for fans. 

Singer-songwriter Andra Day announced the four major categories — Best New Artist, Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year, and Album Of The Year — on Tuesday’s “CBS This Morning” and not long after the Recording Academy shared the entire list of nominees. 

The night looks like it might be leaning toward the gents — with Lady Gaga, Kesha and Taylor Swift not receiving nods in categories that they were anticipated in. 

Kendrick Lamar, Bruno Mars, and JAY-Z all snagged quite a few nods. “Despacito,” the unofficial song of summer featuring Justin Bieber, also snagged mentions in key categories like Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year.
