Ceny Grammy, v nichž hlasují odborníci působící v hudebním průmyslu, se udělují ve více než stovce kategorií od rapu, folku, gospelu po jazz, klasickou hudbu a mluvené slovo. Nedávno zveřejněným nominacím, jejichž prestiži se nevyrovnají ani podobné události vyhlašované MTV či BET, vévodí Beyoncé, jež v tomto směru suverénně poráží i Jay-Zho, Eminema nebo Kanyeho Westa, který se šesti želízky v ohni překvapil.
