Kendrick Lamar stepped into Sunday night’s Grammys ceremony, notably the last one to be hosted by Daily Show alum Trevor Noah, as the year’s most-nominated artist.
Thanks to GNX, his sixth studio effort (and Complex’s pick for the best album of 2024), Lamar stood tall with nine total nods when nominations were announced last November. Among them is Album of the Year, a category that sees the 22-time Grammy winner vying for victory alongside other acclaimed titles from the following: Bad Bunny; Justin Bieber; Sabrina Carpenter; Clipse; Lady Gaga; Leon Thomas; and Tyler, The Creator.
The 2026 class of nominees, per a previously shared statement from Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr., “remind us of the incredible talent that is driving music forward” while shining a light on both “emerging talent” and “influential icons.”
Below, see a list of select winners from this year’s ceremony, updated as they’re announced. A comprehensive list can be found here. You can also shop albums from 2026 Grammys nominees on Complex now.
