The Grammys this year is set to exclusively air on the network CBS at precisely 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT. To watch the awards ceremony online though, one has to find a streaming platform that not only offers CBS but also offers a live feed of the popular network and not just its on-demand content.

On 7th December 2018, musicians Janelle Monae, Shawn Mendes, and Alessia Cara along with Apple music host Zane Lowe and members of the Recording Academy announced the nominations.

Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar leads the list with eight nods for his effort on the Black Panther Soundtrack. Fellow rap star Drake is second with seven nominations. Meanwhile, Lady Gaga, Cardi B, Childish Gambino, H.E.R., and Maren Morris have five each.
