The nominations for the 57th annual Grammy Awards began their day-long rollout when Pharrell Williams and Ed Sheeran read names populating four categories on “CBS This Morning” on Friday. They ended in the evening when the Album of the Year nominees were announced by LL Cool J to close CBS’s “A Very Grammy Christmas” special.
In between the two CBS broadcasts, artists and music industry personalities tweeted out nominees for the other categories, providing a slow — yet social — rollout.
For Record of the Year, those names included Iggy Azalea, Sia, Sam Smith, Taylor Swift, and Meghan Trainor. Song of the Year had four of the five same artists, but with Hozier’s “Take Me to Church” replacing Azalea’s “Fancy.”
Album of the Year nods went to Beck, Beyonce, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, and Pharrell Williams. In the end, Williams, Smith, and Beyonce led the pack with six nominations apiece.
