Nominations for the 54th Annual Grammy Awards were announced Wednesday night (Nov. 30) during a primetime concert special in Los Angeles, with Kanye West leading the crowded and surprisingly diverse field with seven.
The Grammy Nominations Concert Live!!, now in its fourth year, kicked off with a performance by Lady Gaga and later included songs by Rihanna and The Band Perry. Adele, Foo Fighters and Bruno Mars follow West with six nods apiece and Lil Wayne and Skrillex snagged four. In a surprise, indie songwriter Justin Vernon, who performs as Bon Iver, is up for four awards including Record and Song of the Year for "Grenade."
A full wrap up of the nominations and the concert blowout is coming soon. Until then...
