One of this year\u2019s biggest surprises is singer-songwriter Leon Thomas, who received six nominations.<\/p>\n

Bad\u202fBunny \u2014 set to perform at the upcoming Super\u202fBowl halftime show \u2014 earned nominations in all three top categories: Album, Record and Song of the Year, after being overlooked last year. Joining him in those major categories are Lamar, Gaga and Carpenter.<\/p>\n

Animation is also getting its spotlight this year: the song Golden, from the hit Netflix series K-Pop Demon Hunters, is nominated in four categories, including Song of the Year.<\/p>\n

Some notable absences appear in the nominations list. Country star Morgan Wallen announced he would not submit his work for consideration, and Taylor\u202fSwift\u2019s latest album The\u202fLife\u202fof\u202fa\u202fShowgirl was released after the submission deadline.<\/p>\n
