The Grammys are tonight, and I thought I’d collate all my predictions into one post. I didn’t manage to write about all the nominees (there were a lot) but I hit the top four plus a couple more.
Note: The bolded and underlined nominee is the nominee who I think will win. The nominee colored in red is the nominee I think should win. Sometimes it will be both.
