Grammys 2018: All The Other Nominees You Care About

Shawn Brackbill

The Grammys announced the nominees in their most prestigious categories earlier this morning, and now the full list of contenders is available here. In this post we’ll collect some of the other noteworthy categories, adding them as we find them. Some highlights:

•Jay-Z leads the field with eight nominations
•Brian Eno was nominated for Best New Age Album
•Taylor Swift only scored noms for “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever” and “Better Man” (the song she wrote for Little Big Town) — though notably Reputation was released after the deadline, so really only “Look What You Made Me Do” was snubbed
•The War On Drugs are up against Mastodon, Metallica, and Queens Of The Stone Age for Best Rock Album
•Springsteen vs Bernie Sanders in Spoken Word Album category
•Perfume Genius’ No Shape nominated for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical
•The departed Leonard Cohen and Glen Campbell will vie in American Roots Performance category
•Relatedly, Cohen and the late Chris Cornell will square off for Best Rock Performance
