- Beyonce didn't crack the record/song categories, but seems a safe bet for album, right?
- Despite being the top selling album of the year, recognition for Frozen thus far limited to soundtrack categories. No nomination for Menzel.
- The big winner from the nominations? Sam Smith, who's up for Record, Song, New Artist, Pop Solo Performance, and Pop Vocal Album, with a decent shot at getting into the Album of the Year category.
