The Grammy Awards waited until the very end of the Very Grammy Christmas special on CBS to finally wrap up their announcement of this years nominees, featuring some obvious choices and one surprise.
Beyonce led the pack with her self-titled album, making it her sixth nomination at the awards. She’s joined by Ed Sheeran, Pharrell Williams, and Sam Smith with his debut album In The Lonely Hour. The surprise of the bunch was Beck’s nomination for Morning Phase, his spiritual “companion piece” to 2002’s Sea Change.
