Gala Premiilor Grammy, cel mai prestigios eveniment din industria muzicală, a ajuns la cea de-a 57-a ediție. Artiștii nominalizați în cele 83 de categorii au fost dezvăluiți, stârnind, ca în fiecare an, discuții pe tema popularității /inovației / calității.
Nominalizările pentru cea de-a 57-a ediție a premiilor Grammy au început să fie anunțate pe rețelele de socializare. Printre artiștii cu șanse la premii, îi regăsim pe Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Beyonce și Sia.
Cele mai multe nominalizări au fost obținute de către Sam Smith, Pharrell și Beyonce, cea din urmă devenind cea mai nominalizată artistă din istoria premiilor.
Cel mai impresionant debut al anului îi aparține lui Sam Smith, artistul britanic aflându-se în fruntea listei nominalizărilor: 6 categorii bifate, la egalitate cu Beyonce. Sam Smith este primul artist in 34 de ani care a primit nominalizari la cele patru categorii principale cu un album de debut.
La capitolul surprize s-ar încadra Meghan Trainor și piesa “All About That Bass” (care și-ar găsi locul mai curând pe lista nominalizărilor MTV, unde criteriul principal de selecție este popularitatea) și Nicki Minaj cu explicitul single “Anaconda” (care, teoretic, nu și-ar găsi locul la Grammy pe motiv de vulgaritate).
Câștigătorii premiilor Grammy vor fi desemnați pe 8 februarie.
Artiștii nominalizați în cele mai importante categorii se regăsesc în lista de mai jos.
