Best Rap Album
最佳说唱专辑
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：去年这一奖项的角逐者包括Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Drake, Jay Z和 Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (由于与其他候选者都不同，最终获奖)。委婉的说，今年的参赛者质量有所下滑。
Best Urban Contemporary Album
最佳当代城市专辑
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.
注：欢迎来到碧昂斯统治的国度!除她之外压根没人在乎这个奖。
Best Country Solo Performance
最佳乡村歌手
“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：如果我对格莱美的了解是正确的话，他们非常喜欢Underwood和Lambert ，所以我还是猜Eric Church或赢吧。
Best Country Song
最佳乡村歌曲
“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 为什么没有跟Nelly 或者 LL Cool J来个二重唱呢?Faith Hill 不是在她的《周日足球夜》之后就退出歌坛了吗?无论如何，应该又是埃里克·丘奇赢了。
Best Country Duo/Group Performance
最佳乡村乐队/组合
“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：这个奖项上没有胜者，不过Lambert与Underwood的组合可能是败得最不惨烈的候选人。
Best Country Album
最佳乡村专辑
Riser – Dierks Bentley
The Outsiders – Eric Church
12 Stories – Brandy Clark
Platinum – Miranda Lambert
The Way I’m Livin’ – Lee Ann Womack
Note: EVERYONE’S A WINNER! Eric Church, collect your prize!
注：每个人都是赢家!埃里克·丘奇，格莱美喊你来拿奖啦!
Best Comedy Album
最佳喜剧专辑
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卓有成效的宣传策略和这张专辑的质量确保了他会获得此奖。
Best Song Written for Visual Media
最佳影视歌曲
“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：获奖的必须是《冰雪奇缘》，不是吗。假如乐高电影的主题曲获奖倒会很有趣，不过这首歌曲在十年之内肯定是不能击败《冰雪奇缘》中那支受到16岁以下观众最为钟爱的歌曲的。
Best Music Video
最佳音乐录影带
“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的音乐录音带能赢，我会感到莫大的快意，不过获胜的很可能还是《尚德利耶》。
