Nominees will be announced Nov 15, but the eliginility period ended on Sept 31. So we are in grammy season again.

Last year, Jon Batiste shocked the world with his album of the year win. Combined with Silk Sonic winning both sound categories, it showed the Soul is still the genre to beat at these awards show.

Also, they finally got rid of the secret nominations committee, but it didn't seem to have too much effect on the awards. Quincy still got his man in and got the big victory, as he usually does.

This year I doubt we will see any random winners though. There's just too many heavy hitters.

Adele
Kendrick Lamar
Beyonce
Silk Sonic
The Weeknd (if he submits)
Lizzo
Robert Plant and Allison Kraus
Abba
Steve Lacy
Encanto soundtrack

Are my current predictions for album, with a similar set of people for record/song. Taylor is technically eligibile with the Red remake, but I don't think they'll go further than a possible Songwriting nomination for the ten minute All Too Well.

Adele will likely win again as she always does, and then use her acceptance speech to apologize to Beyonce and Kendrick on behalf of all the whites. Would love to see Mr. Morale take it though. Is it the best album of the year? No, that goes to Beach Bunny or Ice Nine Kills, but since neither of them have a chance, why not do the right thing for once? Savoir is a great candidate for the song categories as well.

I'll update the poll when real nominations are announced. For now will just stick with the top contenders.

Beyonce or Kendrick will get it so Grammy voters can prove they're not racist, even though Beyonce's album sucked.

I'll go Beyonce for the same reasons zwackerm stated.

Beyonce wins this one after the backlash last time.

Beyonce zzzzzzzzz

I dunno, grammys don't really respond to backlash like that. They respond to ratings, which is why all 10 nominees are pop or pop adjace now. And I think Kendrick would pop the ratings more than Beyonce by giving hip-hop fans hope that their favorite has a chance next year.

My choice would be Encanto or Adele haha.

It's gonna be Adele.

Beyonce went full on Disco for it to grab the notmal voters. Plus Adele is literally unbeatable hasnt she lost just one category in all of her noms?

Meh but mostly expected. Would be nice if any band besides Coldplay could break into the main categories lol.

Happy to see ABBA nominated, I'm still kind of shocked at the quality of their album and that it belongs in the convo with their other ones.

I'm rooting for:

Album - Mr Morale
Record - The Heart P5
Song - All Too Well
New Artist - Wet Leg
All Rock Categories - Turnstile

Predicting:

Album: 30
Record: Easy on Me
Song: Easy on Me
New Artist: Latto
All Rock Categories - Not Turnstile. Maybe they'll get one!

The biggest disappointment might be the new video game category. No Death's Door or Elden Ring? Come on.

I'm personally happy that Brandi Carlile got as many noms as she did even if she doesn't win in the big ones.

I actually think there's like 7-8 possible winners here for album including people like Brandi, Kendrick and Lizzo
