Definitely not without controversy…

The nominations for the 63rd iteration of the Annual Grammy Awards are here, and boy, this is gonna be an explosive ceremony. I mean, whether or not there will even be a real ceremony remains to be seen, but we guarantee that regardless the awards are gonna be the talk of all the music world.

Naturally, Beyonce leads the pack with a total of nine nominations, with pop sensations Taylor Swift and Dua Lip, as well as Roddy Rich, following with six each. However, in what is a true crime against humanity, Toronto crooner The Weeknd didnt receive one nomination, with After Hours and ‘Blinding Lights’ seemingly omitted from the noms.

Regarding the Aussies, we’ve got homegrown favourites Flume and Tame Impala both copping noms for ‘Best Dance Recording’ (for ‘The Difference ft. Toro y moi) as well as ‘Best Rock Song’ and ‘Best Alternative Music Album’ (‘Lost In Yesterday’ and The Slow Rush). Personally, we’re a bit devo Tame didn’t get a nom for best album for The Slow Rush, but then again, the Grammys have a history of major fuck ups, so we’re not totally surprised.

The Grammys are set to take place on January 31, with comedian Trevor Noah on hosting duties. Fingers crossed it gets to be in person and we can watch all our favourite stars together in one place again. Suss the full list of nominations below.
