The 56th Annual GRAMMY Awards are set to take place on Sunday, January 26, 2014, but there's no point limiting the party and performances (and live TV ad slots!) to one night.
So, under the auspices of longtime host LL Cool J and accompanied by live performances from artists like Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Katy Perry, Miguel and more, "The GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live!! — Countdown To Music's Biggest Night®" show unfolded tonight.
The highlights of the nominations are below, while a full list of all genres can be found here. Leading the pack with nine nominations is Jay Z, while Kendrick Lamar, Justin Timberlake, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, and Pharrell each received seven.
