Grammys - The Complete List And How to Watch the 2020 Grammys. In November the Recording Academy announced candidates. The list includes Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, Miranda Lambert, Meek Mill, 21 Savage, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello as well as fan-favoured newcomers Billie Eillish, Lil Nas X and Lizzo. The latter three all earned awards for Record of the Year, Year's Album and Best New Artist, with Lizzo receiving a whopping eight overall nominations.

The 2020 Grammy nominations have shown us the future of pop music—and the future looks good. Lizzo, belter of inspiring pump-up anthems and booster of confidence, leads the pack with eight nominations, including Album of the Year. With six nominations each, Lil Nas X and Billie Eilish are not far behind. The artists, who are aged 20 and 17, respectively, are on the forefront of a changing music industry.

Of course, beloved favorites have also been honored by the Grammys, too. Beyoncé received nominations for her original song in The Lion King live-action remake and her Netflix documentary, Homecoming, which went behind-the-scenes on her ground-breaking Coachella set. Vampire Weekend got a lot of Grammys love for Father of the Bride, their first album in six years.

Who is hosting the Grammys?

Singer, songwriter, and now, memoirist Alicia Keys will be hosting the ceremony, as she did last year. Keys is a fitting host: She has won 15 Emmys over the course of her decades-long career. Let's keep cheering her on: She's the third woman to ever host the Grammys.

Who are the performers at the Grammys?

The set of artists set to take the stage include Lizzo, Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani (together), Latin music superstar Rosalía, the Jonas Brothers, Tyler, the Creator, and Aerosmith, who will perform a medley of their greatest hits—wait for the Run-DMC appearance. Finally, Bonnie Raitt will perform a tribute to Lifetime Achievement Award honoree John Prine.

In 2019, the movie's hit song "Shallow" nabbed two Grammys: Best Pop Duo and Best Song for Visual Media. A year later, and A Star Is Born is once again up for three more Grammys. How is that possible? Simple: The entire Star Is Born album was released after October 1, 2018, making it ineligible for the 2019 Grammys.
