Ανακοινώθηκαν πριν από λίγες μέρες οι υποψηφιότητες για τα βραβεία Grammy, τα πιο σημαντικά μουσικά βραβεία που δίνονται. Η τελετή θα γίνει στις 8 Φεβρουαρίου στο Staples Center του Los Angeles. Τα βραβεία αυτά αποτελούν πλέον παράδιση αφού απονέμονται κάθε χρόνο από το 1958.
Στις φετινές υποψηφιότητες ξεχωρίζει ο Sam Smith που συγκεντρώνει έξι υποψηφιότητες σε όλες τις βασικές κατηγορίες. Έκπληξη αποτελεί το γεγονός ότι το μεγαλύτερο όνομα αυτή τη στιγμή στον κόσμο η Beyonce δεν έχει υποψηφιότητα στην κατηγορία του καλύτερου τραγουδιού της χρονιάς. Δείτε αναλυτικά τις υποψηφιότητες:
