The nominations for the 57th Annual Grammy Awards are rolling out today sloooooowly.
The first four categories, including record of the year, were announced on “CBS This Morning” by Pharrell Williams and Ed Sheeran.
Other categories will be released in dribs and drabs between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Twitter, then at 2 p.m., a full list of 82 of the 83 categories will be revealed on www.grammy.com.
That one remaining category, album of the year, will be announced following the airing of “A Very Grammy Christmas” tonight at 9 on CBS.
So yes, it’s an all-day affair.
I will update the list accordingly and spotlight any Georgia nominees who made the cut this year (I'll also be on a plane at 2 p.m., so if wi-fi fails me, that update might be a bit late). Make sure to follow the AJC Music Scene on Facebook and Twitter.
