The 62nd Annual Grammy Awards ceremony is scheduled for this Sunday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. While many people are excited to see what attire their favorite celebs are wearing and who’s performing, I’m excited to see what artists are going to take home awards this year.   The competition was fierce this year, with one of the breakout artists of the year, Lizzo, taking the lead with eight nominations.
