Es ist jedes Jahr aufs Neue der Moment, auf den die Musikwelt gebannt wartet: die Bekanntgabe der Nominierungen für die Grammy Awards. Nun ist die Katze aus dem Sack – und auch dieses Mal sind viele Künstler von Warner Music unter den Hoffnungsträgern. So kann sich Cardi B gleich in vier Kategorien Hoffnungen auf den Gewinn der Trophäe machen (und erfuhr davon, als sie gerade aus einem Gerichtstermin kam, siehe unten), u.a. ist die Rapperin in den Königskategorien "Song of the Year" (für "I Like It") und  "Album of the Year" nominiert (für "Invasion of Privacy". Dort geht auch Janelle Monáe mit "Dirty Computer" an den Start, die davon "live on air" erfuhr und sehr emotional und mit schönen Worte reagierte (ebenfalls unten im Video zu sehen) und außerdem in der Kategorie "Music Video / Film" berücksichtigt wurde (für "PYNK"), Je zweimal nominiert sind Bebe Rexha, "The Greatest Showman" und Charlie Puth, außerdem je einmal Weezer, Kelly Clarkson, Twenty One Pilots, Mac Miller (posthum für sein Album "Swimming"), Anderson .Paak, Nipsey Hussle, Haelstorm, Chromeo, Grateful Dead, Trivium, FEVER 333, David Byrne, Brad Mehldau Trio, Punch Brothers, Laurie Anderson & Kronos Quartet, Joshua Redman.
