The nominations for the 2024 Grammy Awards are here: SZA leads the pack with 9 nominations. Phoebe Bridgers, whose seven nods include a clutch for Boygenius, follows close behind, alongside Victoria Monét and producer Serban Ghenea. Check out all the categories—including Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best New Artist—below. The ceremony takes place on Sunday, February 4, 2024, at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena, and will broadcast on CBS and Paramount+. The annual Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony precedes the event.
Prior to the 2024 show, the Recording Academy winnowed the Big Four categories from 10 back down to eight nominees, and three new categories were added this year: Best Alternative Jazz Album, Best Pop Dance Recording, and Best African Music Performance.
Last year’s Big Four winners were Bonnie Raitt (Song of the Year), Lizzo (Record of the Year), Samara Joy (Best New Artist), and Harry Styles (Album of the Year). While she didn’t win in the major categories, Beyoncé made history by setting the record for the most Grammy wins of all time. The night also included wins for Adele, Kendrick Lamar, Bad Bunny, Rosalía, and Steve Lacy.
In the initial stages of Grammy voting this year, it was revealed that Drake’s album with 21 Savage Her Loss was submitted for consideration. Drake previously withdrew his music after being nominated for Certified Lover Boy and has criticized the Grammys on multiple occasions.
