Awards
Kanye leads, while Adele and Epworth represent the UK in Grammy noms
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 1 December 2011
Kanye West leads in this year’s Grammy nomination lists, being up for seven awards in total, while the Foo Fighters, Adele and Bruno Mars are all up for six prizes each, the latter two competing in three key categories, ie album, record and song of the year.
The noms were announced at a special concert in LA yesterday, with the gongs due to be dished out on 12 Feb next year. In the eclectic newcomer stakes, Bon Iver, Nicki Minaj, Skrillex, J Cole and The Band Perry will all compete for the best new artist prize.
Alongside Adele, other Brits up for prizes include Mumford & Sons, while Amy Winehouse could win a posthumous Grammy for her collaboration with Tony Bennett. Meanwhile producer extraordinaire Paul Epworth, as well as seeing a number of his Adele collaborations being nominated, is himself up for Producer Of The Year.
Despite Grammy organisers somewhat controversially cutting back on the number of awards this year (the campaign against the cut categories continues on the side lines), there are still flippin loads of them, so if you want the noms lists we suggest you go visit the Grammys website.
