UPDATE: Read our breakdown of the nominations here.

//

The Academy Of Recording Arts And Sciences has been announcing Grammy nominations one-by-one this morning on CBS This Morning. Irritatingly, we won’t learn the nominees for the most important award, Album Of The Year, until tonight; the Academy is announcing them as part of tonight’s A Very Grammy Christmas special, which features performances from Pharrell and Ariana Grande, among others. Still, we can start to deduce patterns and narratives from the awards that are now public.

For instance, Beyoncé is up for Best Urban Contemporary Album, where she’s competing with people like Pharrell and Jhené Aiko. But she’s locked out from major categories like Record Of The Year. Record Of The Year, meanwhile, is an absolute wasteland without her; a decent song like Sia’s “Chandelier” or the inferior Darkchild version of Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me” looks like a giant compared to dogs from Taylor Swift, Iggy Azalea, and (seriously) Meghan Trainor. Iggy, in particular, seems poised to have one of those infuriatingly dominant years, like Macklemore last year; the Grammys barely remember that black singers and rappers exist.
