2011 Grammy Nomination Predictions

  /  11.30.2010

Drake, Sade, and Eminem

It’s that time of the year again. Tomorrow the nominations for the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards will be announced in a live ceremony from Los Angeles. We’ve made our predictions in six categories including Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best New Artist. These are the songs and albums we think will get nominated, not necessarily who we think should be nominated.

Material must have been released between Sept. 1, 2009 and Sept. 30, 2010 in order to be eligible. Therefore, albums from Kanye West, Bruno Mars, and Nicki Minaj will have to wait until next year’s nominations.
