That's right, everybody, it's that time of year again: The Grammy Awards are once again upon us. I know, I know — it feels like just yesterday that Daft Punk won everything, and Beyonce's performance with Jay Z basically shut down the show with its amazingness. But, time flies: It's been nearly a year, and it's now time again to celebrate and recognize this year's most excellent artists, songwriters, producers, sound engineers and more with a star-studded, Hollywood awards show.
This past year had a lot of great hits (I mean, Beyoncé and Taylor Swift both released new material, and newcomers managed to dominate the charts all summer!) so competition is going to be tough. But, for diehard music fans, every moment is going to be exciting — and it all starts now.
The Recording Academy is set to release the list of 2015 Grammy Award nominations today, with most of the list being announced on the CBS website and CBS This Morning beginning at 8:30 AM, then a few categories over Twitter throughout the day — before culminating with the announcement of the night's biggest category, Album of the Year, during a concert special, A Very Grammy Christmas, that's set to air on CBS at 9 PM eastern.
The list of nominees will be updated here throughout the day, so be sure to check back to see if your favorites made the cut.
Stay Tuned...
