Originally from Montreal, Allison Russell stands out with four nominations: two for her song The Returner (best “Americana” performance, best “roots” song), one for his song Eve Was Black (best “American roots” performance) and one last for The Returnerhis album released last September (best “Americana” album).

Already winner of three golden gramophones, chef Yannick Nézet-Séguin is in the running twice for the awards ceremony which will take place on February 4. He is in the running in the category of best opera disc for Blanchard: Championwith the orchestra and chorus of the Metropolitan Opera, an institution he has directed since 2018. His work with the Philadelphia Orchestra earned him a nomination in the “best orchestral performance” category.
The Orchester Metropolitain has exceptionally decided to bring forward a concert scheduled for February 3 in order to allow its conductor to go to Los Angeles to attend the ceremony held the next day and perhaps collect one of the prizes for which he is in the running. race. Yannick Nézet-Séguin has never had the opportunity to receive one of his three Grammys in person to this day.

Rufus Wainwright
Rufus Wainwright is cited in the category of best folk album, with his album Folklocracy. The competition will be fierce, because he is up against two big names from the folk aristocracy: Joni Mitchell for Joni Mitchell at Newport and Paul Simon for Psalmstwo records that are also extremely touching.
What about the Beatles and the Stones in all this? They are respectively nominated in the best video category for I’m Only Sleepinga song released in 1966 on Revolverand for Angrya song that opens the very recent album by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
SZA dominates the list revealed Friday with nine nominations, followed by Phoebe Bridgers (seven). The essential Taylor Swift has five (mainly for her album Midnights and his song Anti-hero), while the latter’s collaborator, Jack Antonoff, is cited several times for his work with her and Lana Del Rey. He will also compete against himself more than once.
