Now that it’s a popular vote, I’m pretty confident in these three being the frontrunners

Mariah Carey – The Meaning Of
Barack Obama – A Promised Land
Matthew McConaughey – Greenlights

Possibly these three as well

Brandi Carlisle – Broken Horses
Eddie S. Glaude Jr – Begin Again
Amanda Gorman – The Hill We Climb

What about Cicely Tyson’s Just as I Am: A Memoir? Is it eligible?

What a great and deserved win for Mariah. But, of course I don’t think the academy would be “afraid” to give Barack his third. He has won twice already, correct?

I can see either Mariah or Obama winning, but have a slight edge on Mariah because she will be everywhere during final round voting (Christmas season & second Apple TV Christmas special). Hoping Mariah can pull through for this well deserved win!!!

The answer is no… bc an album can’t be submitted in more than one genre category. So it will either be submitted in Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media (which is where I think it will go) or Traditional Pop Vocal Album, but not both.

I really want Mariah to win but the Grammys is not friendly towards her. I think we all know where this is going to.

MARIAH CAREY

I think Amanda Gorman winning is a possibility. She made noise this and last year.
