Υπο την σκιά του θανάτου της Whitney Houston , η πιο αναμενόμενη παρουσία της βραδιάς θα είναι αυτή της Adele. Ανάμεσα στους υποψήφιους για Γκράμι ο Έλβις Πρίσλεϊ στην κατηγορία
Βραβείο καλύτερου ιστορικού άλμπουμ το οποίο διεκδικεί η επετειακή συλλογή του βασιλιά του ροκ εντ ρολ
Η συλλογή «Young Man With the Big Beat: The Complete '56 Elvis Presley Masters» που κυκλοφόρησε πριν λίγους μήνες για την 55η επέτειο από το ντεμπούτο του Έλβις Πρίσλεϊ το 1956.
Σύμφωνα με την National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, η εν λόγω συλλογή είναι υποψήφια στην κατηγορία «Καλύτερου ιστορικού άλμπουμ» και αποτελεί την 15η υποψηφιότητα του βασιλιά του ροκ εντ ρολ -που έφυγε από τη ζωή σε ηλικία μόλις 42 ετών το 1977- στα συγκεκριμένα μουσικά βραβεία.
