Objavljene su nominacije za američku diskografsku nagradu Grammy koja će se održati po 54-ti put. Novina od ove godine je smanjivanje kategorija na 78 (s prijašnjih 109), a pobjednici će biti objavljeni 12. veljače 2012. u Los Angelesu.

Najviše nominacija (7) ima Kanye West, nominaciju manje imaju Adele i Bruno Mars, među kojima su one i najbitnije: za najbolji album, najbolju pjesmu i singl godine.

Također šest nominacija, doduše u nešto manje popularnijim kategorijama, imaju Foo Fightersi, a pet ih imaju Lil Wayne i komercijalna dubstep senzacija Skrillex. Listu najpopularnijih kategorija pogledajte ispod.
