Full List of 57th Annual Grammy Nominees Revealed

The nominees for the 57th annual Grammy Awards began a full-day rollout early Friday, when Pharrell Williams and Ed Sheeran announced a few initial categories live on CBS This Morning. Nominees continued to be revealed hourly, with the biggest category, Album of the Year, announced in a CBS special called A Very Grammy Christmas that evening. 

Sam Smith got off to a fantastic start, with nominations for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance for “Stay With Me”; Best Pop Vocal Album for In the Lonely Hour; and Best New Artist. By Friday night, after singing “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” on the prime-time Grammy special, he’d picked up an Album of the Year nomination as well, sweeping the four major categories and bringing his grand total to six nominations. (This put Smith in a tie for most nods with Beyoncé, whose self-titled album was also nominated for Album of the Year, and Pharrell, who was nominated in the Album category for GIRL).
