The 2015 Grammy Nominees have been announced. This year, instead of announcing them all at once, Recording Academy decided to release them slowly throughout the day, category by category, via the official Twitter accounts of several musicians. The only category that was not announced by a celebrity was The Album Of The Year, which was made during ‘A Very Grammy Christmas’ special on CBS. The holiday special was hosted by L.L. Cool J and aired on Friday night (12/5) featuring performances by Maroon 5, Tim McGraw, Mary J. Blige, Ariana Grande, Pharrell Williams and Sam Smith. Check out the full list of 2015 Grammy Nominees below!
