The nominees for the 59th Grammys awards were announced today. The awards will air on CBS on Feb. 12. Adele and Beyonce lead the nominations with a total of 14 between them including Album, Song, and Record of the Year.
One of my favorite categories is Best Music Video and some of the nominees look very impressive. Nominees for Best Music Video include Beyonce, Jamie xx (from The xx), Leon Bridges, Coldplay, and Ok Go.
