RELATED: OnSMASH 2014 GRAMMY Predictions
Tonight, the 56th Annual Grammy Awards, go down live in Los Angeles. JAY Z’s received the most nominations this year with nine, but newcomers Lorde, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis will be looking to the steal the show and sweep the awards.
While Pharrell Williams had a comeback for the ages and Justin Timberlake’s 20/20 Experience had a yearlong dominance, there are a few snubs and upsets we expect to occur tonight during music’s biggest night. The award we’re obviously most interested will be Rap Album of the Year, which Kendrick Lamar and his good kid, m.A.A.d city album will see some serious competition from the fellow elitist in the game.
Performances are also expected to be on point tonight highlighted Madonna, Beyoncé, JAY Z, Paul McCartney, Daft Punk and even Metallica for a nice wide range. Do remember to tune it at 8:00pm ET / 5:00pm PT for the GRAMMYs on CBS.
