2018 Grammy Awards Nominees List

Nominees for the 2018 Grammy Awards were announced on Tuesday morning (Nov 28). Singer-songwriter Andra Day appeared on CBS This Morning to do the honors.

On CBS This Morning, Day revealed the nominees in the Grammy Awards' four all-genre categories: Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Best New Artist. No country artists received nods in those categories this year, though a few country names popped up in other genre-specific categories in addition to the country-, Americana-, bluegrass- and folk-specific categories.

The 60th annual Grammy Awards will take place at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Jan. 28. The televised ceremony will begin at 7:30PM ET on CBS; the pre-telecast Premiere Ceremony will be available to stream online earlier in the evening. Further details, including a list of performers, will be announced in the coming weeks.
