While we all saw nominations for major artists like Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and SZA coming, the Recording Academy still managed to keep us on our toes with a number of shocking decisions. There are some artists we were pleasantly surprised to see get nods, while others were left off the list, despite our best guess at who would receive recognition. Here are our picks for the biggest surprises and most frustrating snubs from the 2024 Grammy Award nominations.

The Grammies? They still have those? All kidding (and the Grammies’ irrelevance and uselessness) aside, I did get a little chuckle of schadenfreude from Wallen’s snubbing. That guy was soooo unbearably godawful on his SNL appearance, and I’m not even referring to any of the controversy around it (though that certainly wasn’t a point in his favor), just his shitty, shitty songs.
Schadenfreude a new buzz word these days? I have seen it 3 or 4 times in the comments this week.
Also yes I am chuckling at Wallen’s snubbing as well.
It’s an old buzzword that’s making a comeback.
I keep trying to make fremdschamen happen, and it still hasn’t.
Nah, it’s been around forever, and personally I’ve used it online for well over a decade.
But… but… Lana is WHITE?!?!??
Snub. And it doesn’t matter. I know who made the best pop album of 2023.
I am so out of touch with popular music. I’m about to start yelling at clouds to get off my lawn. My pressing questions are: What about the “Try that in a Small Town” guy? Also, what about the “Rich Men in Richmond” guy? These weren’t the same guy, right? Yeah, I’m probably going to miss the Grammys again this year.
I had the same questions! Also, why should country dude who covered a black woman’s song get an award for it?
That’s no snub, that’s common sense.
They’re actually all the same guy.
Oh no obese Satanist queen Sam Smith was denied! What a hate crime!!!
What a weird little hate boner you have.
