Overall pretty solid noms (especially considering how terrible the Grammys can be).
Bey and Adele were a given in the main categories. 7 Years... I'm not a fan, but I don't hate it either. It's well written so I don't mind its SOTY nom. Same with ITAPII. Stressed Out definitely deserves its nom, and Love Yourself is Bieber's best so that's fine too.
Thrilled for The Chainsmokers, Maren, and Kelsea in BNA! Even though we all know Chance is winning that.
AOTY is a joke (excluding Bey and Adele of course). Views is straight up bad. Purpose is fine, but if they wanted to nominate another pop album, why not Anti? Or Dangerous Woman? Or even Mind Of Mine, This Is Acting... the list goes on. (I get it, they want the Beliebers to tune in, whatever.)
I really hope Ariana wins something! She definitely deserves it for such a great album.
Happy to see CSTF and Shawn Mendes snubbed.
The only thing I'm mad about is those horrendous nominations in the rap categories. Panda? Broccoli? Hotline Bling? I am disgusted.
Predictions:
BNA: Chance
SOTY: Adele
ROTY: Adele
AOTY: Beyonce (though I could see Sturgill winning it due to the four "mainstream" albums splitting votes. What a mess that would be

)
