Kendrick Lamar službeno je najveći favorit dodjele nagrada Grammy 2026., s ukupno devet nominacija zahvaljujući svom hvaljenom šestom albumu GNX. Kompletna lista nominacija objavljena je 7. studenoga na službenom YouTube kanalu Recording Academyja, a sama će se dodjela održati 1. veljače u Los Angelesu uz prijenos na CBS-u i Paramount+. Listu nominiranih provjeri u nastavku.

Lamarova dominacija ističe ga dva koraka ispred Lady Gage, Jacka Antonoffa i Cirkuta, koji su osvojili po sedam nominacija, dok Sabrina Carpenter, Leon Thomas, Serban Ghenea i Bad Bunny imaju po šest.

Važno je i da su Lamar, Gaga, Carpenter i Bad Bunny nominirani u sva tri velika Grammy područja: Album of the Year, Record of the Year i Song of the Year. U tim kategorijama nalaze se i Justin Bieber, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan te Tyler, The Creator.

Hit pjesma ‘Golden’ iz filma KPop Demon Hunters osvojila je četiri nominacije, dok će se u području alternativne glazbe za pobjedu boriti Bon Iver, The Cure, Wet Leg, Hayley Williams i Tyler, The Creator.

Ovogodišnje razdoblje za prijavu obuhvaćalo je izdanja između 31. kolovoza 2024. i 30. kolovoza 2025., što znači da su izdanja koja su stigla nakon, uključujući album Taylor Swift The Life Of A Showgirl, automatski izvan konkurencije.

Koga ističemo od vodećih u nominacijama?

• Kendrick Lamar ponovno potvrđuje zašto je jedan od najvažnijih suvremenih umjetnika: GNX ulazi u utrku za Album godine, a suradnja sa SZA-om “Luther” pojavljuje se u više glavnih kategorija.
• Lady Gaga dominira s impresivnom prisutnošću u “velikoj četvorci”, uključujući Album of the Year, te i u pop, dance i tradicionalnim pop kategorijama — široki raspon koji potvrđuje njezin povratak kao jedne od najutjecajnijih pop figura desetljeća.
• Bad Bunny, s nominacijama u Albumu godine, Record of the Year, Song of the Year i više latino kategorija, nastavlja proširivati utjecaj španjolskog jezika u glavnim kategorijama nagrade Grammy — trend koji već nekoliko godina mijenja lice američke glazbene industrije.

Tko je najveće iznenađenje?

• Sabrina Carpenter, prvi put u ozbiljnoj Grammy igri i to u čak četiri ključne kategorije, uključujući Album godine, Record godine i Song godine.
• Leon Thomas, koji se iz glumačke karijere preobrazio u jednog od najtraženijih novih glasova R&B-a, dobiva nominacije u R&B albumu, izvedbi i pjesmi — rijetko postignuće za debitantski projekt.

Glavne tendencije

Ove nominacije ističu i rastuću dominaciju ženskih pop izvođačica, snažan prijelaz prema hibridnim žanrovima, te veliku prisutnost projekata povezanih s filmom, osobito u kategorijama vizualnih medija. Također, uočljiv je i sve veći prostor za globalnu glazbu, gdje se Bad Bunny, Burna Boy, Anoushka Shankar i Caetano Veloso nalaze među najistaknutijima.
