The Grammys are imminent and with nominations and the lineup being released, music fans are waiting for what drama the awards ceremony could bring this year. With the Grammys turning 60 this year, the ceremony will be returning to New York with a special tribute to Broadway after 15 years in Los Angeles and host James Corden will also be making a reappearance. A diverse variety of Grammy nominees were revealed on November 28, 2017 with Jay Z, Kendrick Lamar and Bruno Mars leading the pack, but Ed Sheeran was snubbed from the major prizes despite cleaning up in 2016 with ‘Thinking Out Loud’. This is significant because in the last 20 years only two black artists have won the main prize, Album of the Year. In 2015, Beck beat Beyonce’s self-titled video album and saw Kanye West interrupt his Grammys speech for Morning Phase. Adele also mentioned in an interview that Beyonce should have won Album of the Year in 2017 for Lemonade, when she picked up the prize for 25. As a result, Drake withdrew More Life from consideration in 2017 in a similar way to Frank Ocean, who withheld his album Blonde in 2016. The top nine most-nominated musicians for the 2018 Grammys are all non-white performers, but with Lorde’s Melodrama in the running for Album of the Year, this pivotal moment could be fumbled. When are the Grammys? The Grammys 2018 will be held on January 28, 2018 and will be broadcast live at 7:30pm Eastern Time (12.30am GMT). Where will the Grammy Awards be held? As 2018 marks the Grammy Awards’ 60th birthday, the ceremony will be returning to New York City’s iconic Madison Square Garden after 15 years in Los Angeles. How can I watch the Grammy Awards on TV?

UK viewers can watch the awards ceremony on 4 Music on Monday, February 13 at 8pm. Who is nominated for a Grammy Award? Jay Z leads the 2018 Grammy nominations with eight nods, including Album of the Year for 4:44.
