Οι υποψηφιότητες για τα 61α Βραβεία Grammy ανακοινώθηκαν με τους Κέντρικ Λαμάρ και Ντρέικ να διεκδικούν τις περισσότερες κατηγορίες.

Μετά την μεταφορά της τελετής απονομής στη Νέα Υόρκη για τα 60 χρόνια της διοργάνωσης, το μεγαλύτερο μουσικό γεγονός επιστρέφει στην έδρα του στο Λος Άντζελες και στο «Staples Center».
