The 61st Annual Grammy Awards will go down in history regardless of who wins Sunday night. This year marks the expansion of the top categories from five nominees to eight, in order to spread Grammy's love farther. The 2019 nominees also serve as the answer to two public relations challenges from last year's ceremony at Madison Square Garden. Grammy voters snubbed Kendrick Lamar's "Damn" in the album of the year category, then saw it win the Pulitzer Prize. And Recording Academy CEO Neil Portnow said the reason more women didn't win Grammys last year was because they needed to "step up." Portnow apologized and will step down from his post later this year.
