The New Classic – Iggy Azalea
Because the Internet – Childish Gambino
Nobody’s Smiling – Common
The Marshall Mathers LP 2 – Eminem
Oxymoron – ScHoolboy Q
Blacc Hollywood – Wiz Khalifa
Note: Last year, this category was Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Drake, Jay Z, and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (one of these things is not like the other…. and was the winner). We have, if I put it lightly, a slight downgrade this year.
注:去年這一獎項的角逐者包括Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Drake, Jay Z和 Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (由于與其他候選者都不同,最終獲獎)。委婉的說,今年的參賽者質(zhì)量有所下滑。
Best Urban Contemporary Album
最佳當代城市專輯
Sail Out – Jhené Aiko
Beyoncé – Beyoncé
X – Chris Brown
Mali is… – Mali Music
G I R L – Pharrell Williams
Note: Welcome to the world as ruled by Beyoncé. No one else is even going to sniff this award.

Best Country Solo Performance
最佳鄉(xiāng)村歌手
“Give Me Back My Hometown” – Eric Church
“Invisible” – Hunter Hayes
“Automatic” – Miranda Lambert
“Something in the Water” – Carrie Underwood
“Cop Car” – Keith Urban
Note: If I know the Grammy’s, they like Underwood and Lambert a lot, so I’m picking Eric Church.
注:如果我對格萊美的了解是正確的話,他們非常喜歡Underwood和Lambert ,所以我還是猜Eric Church或贏吧。
Best Country Song
最佳鄉(xiāng)村歌曲
“American Kids” – Kenny Chesney
“Automatic” – Miranda Lambert
“Give Me Back My Hometown” – Eric Church
“I’m Not Gonna Miss You” – Glen Campbell
“Meanwhile Back at Mama’s” – Tim McGraw featuring Faith Hill
Note: Shouldn’t Tim McGraw be dueting with Nelly or LL Cool J or something? And isn’t Faith Hill retired after her Sunday Night Football gig? Whatever, Eric Church wins again.
注:Tim McGraw 為什么沒有跟Nelly 或者 LL Cool J來個二重唱呢?Faith Hill 不是在她的《周日足球夜》之后就退出歌壇了嗎?無論如何,應該又是埃里克·丘奇贏了。

最佳鄉(xiāng)村樂隊/組合
“Gentle on my Mind” – The Band Perry
“Something Bad” – Miranda Lambert with Carrie Underwood
“Day Drinking” – Little Big Town
“Meanwhile Back At Mama’s” – Time McGraw feat. Faith Hill
“Raise ‘Em Up” – Keith Urban feat. Eric Church
Note: Nobody wins in this category, but Lambert and Underwood together combine to be the least-loser.
注:這個獎項上沒有勝者,不過Lambert與Underwood的組合可能是敗得最不慘烈的候選人。

最佳鄉(xiāng)村專輯
Riser – Dierks Bentley
The Outsiders – Eric Church
12 Stories – Brandy Clark
Platinum – Miranda Lambert
The Way I’m Livin’ – Lee Ann Womack

Mandatory Fun – Weird Al Yankovic
obsessed – Jim Gaffigan
Oh My God – Louis CK
Tragedy Plus Comedy Equals Time – Patton Oswalt
We Are Miracles – Sarah Silverman
Note: Weird Al’s genius marketing and good album should lock up this award for him.
注:Weird Al卓有成效的宣傳策略和這張專輯的質(zhì)量確保了他會獲得此獎。
Best Song Written for Visual Media
最佳影視歌曲
“Everything Is Awesome!!!” – Tegan and Sara feat. The Lonely Island (Lego Movie)
“I See Fire” – Ed Sheeran (The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug)
“I’m Not gonna Miss You” – Glen Campbell (Glen Campbell, I’ll Be me)
“Let It Go” – Idina Menzel (Frozen)
“The Moon Song” – Scarlett Johansson & Joaquin Phoenix (Her)
Note: It has to be Frozen, right? As much fun as a Lego Movie song winning, it won’t beat out the most popular song for humans under the age of 16 in a decade.
注:獲獎的必須是《冰雪奇緣》,不是嗎。假如樂高電影的主題曲獲獎倒會很有趣,不過這首歌曲在十年之內(nèi)肯定是不能擊敗《冰雪奇緣》中那支受到16歲以下觀眾最為鐘愛的歌曲的。
Best Music Video
最佳音樂錄影帶
“We Exist” – Arcade Fire
“Turn Down For What” – DJ Snake & Lil Jon
“Chandelier” – Sia
“The Golden Age” – Woodkid feat. Max Richter
Note: Nothing would make me happy than that if it is the video for “Turn Down For What” to win, but it’s probably going to “Chandelier.”
注:假如Turn Down For What的音樂錄音帶能贏,我會感到莫大的快意,不過獲勝的很可能還是《尚德利耶》。
