Aside from the confirmed performances, few things are certain to go down at this Sunday’s Grammy Awards ceremony at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Host Trevor Noah will spend a good five minutes overexplaining the concept of music and how it unites us all, especially in times of war, in his opening monologue. He’ll make an obligatory reference to The Slap Seen ’Round The World at the Oscars the weekend prior. And his new foe and Album of the Year nominee Kanye West, who may or may not be in attendance, will not be performing his collaboration with The Game, “Eazy,” as was originally scheduled. (Although, it wouldn’t be surprising if Noah and West announced that they squashed their beef via a reenactment of Will Smith’s infamous slap that ends in a dap. There goes your free bit!)

The rest of the night is trickier to forecast—particularly which musicians will actually take home trophies. In recent years, the Recording Academy has been put on blast by former insiders and major artists for a lack of transparency regarding their voting process, which included anonymous expert committees who determined the final ballots, and accusations of sexism and racism deployed by executive members. With a notoriously sketchy voting system that has purportedly undergone some changes following The Weeknd’s boycott of the Grammys in 2020 (but who really knows), it’s hard to guess not just which songs, albums and artists the music industry was really loving this year but whether the Grammys even truly represent their voices.

Still, the show has been around long enough that one can spot certain trends and understand the type of musician or body of work the Recording Academy values. While certain nominations seem extremely arbitrary and largely unheard of by the masses—does anyone know that Alicia Keys and Brandi Carlile have a song together?—the winners have been easy to predict. Even when the winner for Record or Album of the Year feels randomly pulled out of a hat, you shrug and say, “That’s the Grammys.”
