The Oscar Narrative: Best Original Score, Original Song, Sound Mixing, and Sound Editing
Best Original Score
Will Win - Ludwig Goransson "Black Panther"
Could Win - Marc Shaiman "Mary Poppins Returns" or Nicholas Britell "If Beale Street Could Talk"
Should Win - Justin Hurwitz...oh yeah, that's right...then Britell
Commentary - How Justin Hurwitz missed out here is just unfathomable, and was my biggest snub of Oscar nomination morning. Without Hurwitz in this race, this becomes a tight, three-way race. A lot of folks are predicting If Beale Street Could Talk, because it is the most obvious and pretty score. That is a possibility, as is Mary Poppins Returns, which would bring Marc Shaiman his first Oscar, and make him the newest member of the EGOT club. But this award almost always go to a Best Picture nominee. The one exception was when Ennio Morricone won for The Hateful Eight, which was more about the composer than the score/film. This makes me think that Ludwig Goransson, who won this corresponding category at the Grammys, is going to reap the benefits of Black Panther's popularity. The film is going to win something, and with its music as popular as the film itself, this feels like the perfect place.
Best Original Song
Will Win - A Star is Born - Shallow
Could Win - Black Panther - All the Stars
Should Win - Black Panther - All the Stars or Mary Poppins Returns - The Place Where the Lost Things Go
Commentary - All the Stars is easily the best of the bunch, and I kind of hate it has not gained the same amount of traction as Shallow. I am personally a huge fan of Mary Poppins Returns, and thinks that the numerous original songs deserve credit. Plus, The Place Where the Lost Things Go is such a sad and sweet melody. But this awards is going to Shallow, which has swept the awards, including winning at BAFTA (where the score and song categories are combined), over many of the score contenders. It gets Lady Gaga up on the stage, and is going to be the film's overall reward.
Best Sound Mixing
Will Win - Bohemian Rhapsody
Could Win - A Star is Born, Black Panther, or First Man
Should Win - First Man
Commentary - The Live Aid concert and music won over the CAS yesterday, and it won the BAFTA for sound (which combines Mixing and Editing). I think this is Bohemian Rhapsody's to lose. A Star is Born could win if the film gets an upswing, Black Panther is the big technical achievement, and First Man is easily the best of the bunch, so all should not be discounted.
Best Sound Editing
Will Win - First Man
Could Win - Bohemian Rhapsody or Black Panther
Should Win - First Man
Commentary - When a musical or music-based film wins Sound Mixing, it hasn't taken Sound Editing with it in a long time. I think that voters could just check Bohemian Rhapsody for both, but in these cases in the past, voters have discerned between the two, giving something else Editing. Black Panther or Roma are the Best Picture contenders to look out for, but the history of this category points to First Man, which is the best of the bunch in terms of its sound work.

2019 Grammy Predictions - General Field
Album of the Year
Will Win - Kacey Musgraves "Golden Hour"
Could Win - Black Panther Soundtrack or Brandi Carlile "By the Way, I Forgive You", or
Should Win - Kacey Musgraves "Golden Hour"
Commentary - So Black Panther is such a cultural phenomenon, and the soundtrack could benefit from the massive Oscar campaign Disney successful used to garner it seven Oscar nominations. But it is up against two other rap albums that could steal votes. Brandi Carlile is not the best-seller of the bunch, but she has passionate fans, and did incredibly well with Grammy voters this year. She is definitely a wild-card. I think though that in a crowded field with a lot of contenders from similar genres that Kacey Musgraves is going to take the prize. She will have a solid country block voting for her and her album was one of the best reviewed of the year.
Record of the Year
Will Win - Childish Gambino "This is America"
Could Win - Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper "Shallow" or Brandi Carlile "The Joke"
Should Win - Childish Gambino "This is America"
Commentary - Shallow will probably win Song of the Year, which makes sense. But a lot of folks are also predicting Record of the Year. It's a smart prediction, as these awards often align. But I don't know how voters overlook This is America. Record of the Year should not only be a great record, but one that permeated society, through its popularity or message. This is America is the only one of the bunch that really hit that level. I also have this hunch about Brandi Carlile, so watch out.
Song of the Year
Will Win - Lady Gaga, Mark Ronson "Shallow"
Could Win - The Joke, This is America or All the Stars
Should Win - All the Stars
Commentary - In terms of song lyrics there is a reason that Shallow is leading the pack. It is a beautifully written song, although at the Grammys and the Oscars, my vote would be for All the Stars. Once again though, The Joke and This is America make for an interesting three-way race.
Artist of the Year
Will Win - H.E.R.
Could Win - Dua Lipa, Greta Van Fleet
Should Win - H.E.R.
Commentary - A Lot of folks are going elsewhere, but I don't know how you manage to be the only nominee to get an Album of the Year nomination and not win Best New Artist. Plus, she is easily the best of the bunch.
Will Win - Kacey Musgraves "Golden Hour"
Could Win - Black Panther Soundtrack or Brandi Carlile "By the Way, I Forgive You", or

2019 Grammy Predictions - Pop
Best Pop Vocal Album
Will Win - Ariana Grande "Sweetener"
Could Win - Shawn Mendes "Shawn Mendes", P!nk "Beautiful Trauma", Taylor Swift "Reputation"
Should Win - Ariana Grande "Sweetener" or P!nk "Beautiful Trauma"
Commentary - So everyone seems to be on the Ariana Grande train, which I get. I think she has the best shot of the bunch. None of these folks made it into Album of the Year, a real surprise considering the names on the list. I think that Shawn Mendes, who made it into Song of the Year, could have broad support. Taylor Swift may have been left out of the the general categories for the first time in a long time, but she is still a Grammy-winning superstar. Finally, I wonder if P!nk finally gets her due. She gets nominated for every one of her albums in this category, but she is always up against an AOTY nominee and loses. Maybe without that level of competition, she finally wins this category, something she is way overdue for.
Best Pop Solo Performance
Will Win - Ariana Grande "God is a Woman"
Could Win - Lady Gaga "Joanne" or Camila Cabello "Havana (Live)"
Should Win - Ariana Grande "God is a Woman"
Commentary - I could see Gaga riding her Star is Born fame to a win here, and Havana was a popular track, but this one feels like it is more squarely in Grande's corner. The song is awesome, beloved, and show triumph.
Best Pop Duo/Group Performance
Will Win - Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga "Shallow"
Could Win - Zedd, Maren Morris & Grey "The Middle"
Should Win - Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga "Shallow"
Commentary - Two Song and Record of the Year nominees make this an interesting race, but in the end, I don't think anyone can deny the power and popularity of Shallow as it tears its way to an Oscar win.
Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album
Will Win - Tony Bennett and Diana Krall "Love is Here to Stay"
Could Win - Barbra Streisand "The Music...The Mem'ries...The Magic!"
Should Win - Tony Bennett and Diana Krall "Love is Here to Stay"
Commentary - Barbra is a legend, but she is going up against two legends. I expect voters reward the dynamic duo over one. Plus, with Walls, she will be here next year and probably win.
Will Win - Ariana Grande "Sweetener"
Could Win - Shawn Mendes "Shawn Mendes", P!nk "Beautiful Trauma", Taylor Swift "Reputation"
Should Win - Ariana Grande "Sweetener" or P!nk "Beautiful Trauma"
Commentary - So everyone seems to be on the Ariana Grande train, which I get. I think she has the best shot of the bunch.

2019 Grammy Predictions - Rock
Best Rock Album
Will Win - Greta Van Fleet "From the Fires"
Could Win - Weezer "Pacific Daydream"
Should Win - Greta Van Fleet "From the Fires"
Commentary - Rock is not having the best streak lately, and these nominations prove it. Weezer is on its second Rock Album nomination, but last time lost to a band a lot less popular and lot less established. This makes me think that Greta Van Fleet, which got into general field categories and als nominated in the other two rock categories, will triumph.
Best Rock Performance
Will Win - Chris Cornell "When Bad Does Good"
Could Win - Arctic Monkeys "Four Out of Five" or Greta Van Fleet "Highway Tune"
Should Win - Halestorm "Uncomfortable"
Commentary - In most years, I think this would be between Arctic Monkeys or Greta Van Fleet, but with the untimely death of Chris Cornell, and no huge general field contenders to reckon with, I think Grammy voters will go the sentimental route.
Best Rock Song
Will Win - Twenty One Pilots "Jumpsuit"
Could Win - Greta Van Fleet "From the Fires" or St. Vincent "MASSEDUCTION"
Should Win - St. Vincent "MASSEDUCTION"
Commentary - I think Greta Van Fleet could do well, as they are only one of the bunch that made all three rock awards. But after winning in a big way at last year's Grammys I think there will be some residual love for Twenty One Pilots, and they could win instead.
Best Alternative Music Album
Will Win - Beck "Colors"
Could Win - St. Vincent "MASSEDUCTION"
Should Win - St. Vincent "MASSEDUCTION"
Commentary - I personally think that the St. Vincent record is a lot better than Beck's this year, but Beck is a Grammy winning favorite, and will probably add another to his mantle. I will say that these voters need to really figure out the difference between rock and alternative. Beck, just a few years ago, won Best Rock Album, and suddenly he is alternative. Oh wait, he was alternative first, won this award twice, then switched to rock, then back to alternative? I don't think they will ever figure it out.

2019 Grammy Predictions: R&B
Best R&B Album
Will Win - H.E.R. "H.E.R."
Could Win - Leon Bridges "Good Thing" or Toni Braxton "Sex and Cigarettes"
Should Win - H.E.R. "H.E.R."
Commentary - Bridges' work is solid, and you should never discount the legend Toni Braxton. But after getting Album of the Year and Best New Artist nominations, I think H.E.R. has this one wrapped up. Plus, it was a heck of debut, and widely popular.
Best Urban Contemporary Album
Will Win - The Carters "Everything is Love"
Could Win - Miguel "War and Leisure" or Chloe X Halle "The Kids Are All Right"
Should Win - The Carters "Everything is Love"
Commentary - I could see Chloe x Halle making a splash here, but it is never smart to bet against the king and queen. Plus, Everything is Love is easily the best of the bunch and should have gotten more love in the general categories. I think voters will give it some recognition here.
Best R&B Performance
Will Win - The Carters "Summer"
Could Win - H.E.R. feat Daniel Caesar "Best Part"
Should Win - The Carters "Summer" or H.E.R. feat Daniel Caesar "Best Part"
Commentary - An interesting race. Will the general field nods pull H.E.R. to a second Grammy, or will the power of Beyonce and Jay-Z be too much. I think The Carters pull one here, but it will be interesting to see how this one unfolds.
Best R&B Song
Will Win - Ella Mai "Boo'd Up"
Could Win - H.E.R. "Focus" or Childish Gambino "Feels Like Summer"
Should Win - H.E.R. "Focus"
Commentary - Childish Gambino or H.E.R. could feel residual love, but Ella Mai's hit is also up for Song of the Year.
Will Win - H.E.R. "H.E.R."
Could Win - Leon Bridges "Good Thing" or Toni Braxton "Sex and Cigarettes"
Should Win - H.E.R. "H.E.R."
Commentary - Bridges' work is solid, and you should never discount the legend Toni Braxton. But after getting Album of the Year and Best New Artist nominations, I think H.E.R. has this one wrapped up. Plus, it was a heck of debut, and widely popular.

Commentary - I could see Chloe x Halle making a splash here, but it is never smart to bet against the king and queen. Plus, Everything is Love is easily the best of the bunch and should have gotten more love in the general categories. I think voters will give it some recognition here.
Best R&B Performance
Will Win - The Carters "Summer"
Could Win - H.E.R. feat Daniel Caesar "Best Part"
Should Win - The Carters "Summer" or H.E.R. feat Daniel Caesar "Best Part"
Commentary - An interesting race. Will the general field nods pull H.E.R. to a second Grammy, or will the power of Beyonce and Jay-Z be too much. I think The Carters pull one here, but it will be interesting to see how this one unfolds.
Best R&B Song
Will Win - Ella Mai "Boo'd Up"
Could Win - H.E.R. "Focus" or Childish Gambino "Feels Like Summer"
Should Win - H.E.R. "Focus"
Commentary - Childish Gambino or H.E.R. could feel residual love, but Ella Mai's hit is also up for Song of the Year.

2019 Grammy Predictions: Rap
Best Rap Album
Will Win - Cardi B "Invasion of Privacy"
Could Win - Mac Miller "Swimming"
Should Win - Cardi B "Invasion of Privacy" or Pusha T "Daytona"
Commentary - I'm so happy to see Pusha T get some Grammy love, but this race is between Cardi B and Mac Miller. Cardi B is the breakout of the year, and nominated for Album of the Year. In any other year she would easily take this award. But sentimentality is a hard thing to beat, and Mac Miller's shocking death at such a young age could lead voters to award his posthumously.
Best Rap Performance
Will Win - Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock, Future and James Blake "King's Dead"
Could Win - Drake "Nice For What"
Should Win - Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock, Future and James Blake "King's Dead"
Commentary - Kendrick Lamar has become a Grammy darling in recent years, and King's Dead is a fantastic hit with so many talented collaborators. While I think Drake could pull an upset, I think he is going to probably win in song instead.
Best Rap/Sung Performance
Will Win - Childish Gambino "This is America"
Could Win - Kendrick Lamar and SZA "All the Stars" or Post Malone feat. 21 Savage "Rockstar"
Should Win - Kendrick Lamar and SZA "All the Stars" or Childish Gambino "This is America"
Commentary - With three Record of the Year nominees, this category is a tough call. In terms of the spirit of this award, which used to be called Rap/Sung Collaboration, I think All of the Stars should win, and it could. But if This is America is going to win Record of the Year, which most folks are predicting, it is probably going to pick up some wins along the way. Plus, if it does lose record of the year, then this is a nice consolation prize.
Best Rap Song
Will Win - God's Plan
Could Win - King's Dead
Should Win - King's Dead
Commentary - So like I said, I think Drake is winning here. I don't see Grammy voters letting him go empty handed this year, and God's Plan is the only nominee of the bunch nominated for Song of the Year.
Will Win - Cardi B "Invasion of Privacy"
Could Win - Mac Miller "Swimming"
Should Win - Cardi B "Invasion of Privacy" or Pusha T "Daytona"

2019 Grammy Predictions: Country and American Roots
Best Country Album
Will Win - Kacey Musgraves "Golden Hour"
Could Win - Chris Stapleton "Millionaire"
Should Win - Kacey Musgraves "Golden Hour"
Commentary - Musgraves is the only nominee here that crosses over to Album of the Year. She has won this category before, and easily has the best album of the bunch. The only contender who could upset is Chris Stapleton, who has won this category at lot recently.
Best Country Solo Performance
Will Win - Kacey Musgraves "Butterflies"
Could Win - Chris Stapleton "Millionaire"
Should Win - Kacey Musgraves "Butterflies"
Commentary - Musgraves is going to win a lot of Grammys, and I expect that she will dominate the country awards in the process, including this one.
Best Country Duo/Group
Will Win - Dan + Shay "Tequila"
Could Win - Bebe Rexha feat. Florida Georgia Line "Meant to Be" or Maren Morris feat. Vince Gill "Dear Hate"
Should Win - Maren Morris feat. Vince Gill "Dear Hate"
Commentary - Morris' duet with Vince Gill is easily the best of the bunch, but I think that the two more popular songs, Tequila and Meant to Be will battle it out for the win. Rexha also has a Best New Artist award, so may have more support across the board. But I have a feeling that the smash hit Tequila wins.
Best Country Song
Will Win - Kacey Musgraves "Space Cowboy"
Could Win - Dan + Shay "Tequila"
Should Win - Kacey Musgraves "Space Cowboy"
Commentary - Tequila is the bigger hit, but I think Musgraves is just too popular this year, and will sweep her country categories.
Best Americana Album
Will Win - Brandi Carlile "By the Way, I Forgive You"
Could Win - Lee Ann Womack "The Lonely, The Lonesome, & The Gone"
Should Win - Carlile, Womack, or Bettye LaVette "Things Have Changed"
Commentary - Voters really cannot go wrong here, and I am particularly delighted to see LaVette's Things Have Changed get some Grammys love. But I think Carlile, with her Album of the Year nomination will be hard to beat.
Best American Roots Performance
Will Win - Brandi Carlile "The Joke"
Could Win - Jon Batiste "Saint James Infirmary Blues" or Willie Nelson "Last Man Standing"
Should Win - Brandi Carlile "The Joke"
Commentary - Jon Batiste and Willie Nelson are standout names on a ballot, but only Carlile has a Record of the Year nomination. I think she wins pretty easily.
Best American Roots Song
Will Win - The Joke
Could Win - Build a Bridge
Should Win - The Joke
Commentary - The Jeff Tweedy/Mavis Staples song Build a Bridge will definitely have its supporters, but once again, Carlile's The Joke is nominated for Song of the Year.
Will Win - Kacey Musgraves "Golden Hour"
Could Win - Chris Stapleton "Millionaire"
Should Win - Kacey Musgraves "Golden Hour"
Commentary - Musgraves is the only nominee here that crosses over to Album of the Year. She has won this category before, and easily has the best album of the bunch. The only contender who could upset is Chris Stapleton, who has won this category at lot recently.

2019 Grammy Predictions - Visual Media
Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media
Will Win - The Greatest Showman
Could Win - Call Me By Your Name or Deadpool 2
Should Win - The Greatest Showman
Commentary - Of the bunch, The Greatest Showman has sold more records, is the only one with original songs and has become a genuine phenomenon. Not long ago, over a year after the original's release, another album featuring pop stars singing these songs was released, just in time to remind Grammy voters of the original. I think it wins easily.
Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media
Will Win - Ludwig Goransson "Black Panther"
Could Win - Alexandre Desplat "The Shape of Water" or Michael Giacchino "Coco"
Commentary - Only one of the nominees is from a 2018 film, Black Panther, but it is up against last year's Oscar winner The Shape of Water. Desplat is a favourite, as is Giacchino, but this award often differs from the Oscars. I think that Black Panther's music has become as much of a cultural phenomenon as the film. The Kendrick Lamar part of the music is nominated for Album of the Year, and their are a total of six nominations for music from this film. I think Goransson upsets.
Best Song Written for Visual Media
Will Win - Shallow from A Star is Born
Could Win - Any of the other four
Should Win - All the Stars from Black Panther
Commentary - This category feels like a slam-dunk for Shallow as it continues its romp through awards season. It is also nominated for three other awards. Of course, All the Stars is also wildly popular with four nominations as well, and the soundtrack is up for a bunch of other awards. But you can't stop at just those two. This is Me and Mystery of Love were Oscar nominees last year, and This is Me was a huge hit. Then you have Remember Me, which won the Oscar last year. This race is most likely going to Shallow, but I don't think it is as big of a slam dunk as many believe.

2019 Grammy Predictions - Musical Theater Album, Comedy Album, and Spoken Word Album
Best Musical Theater Album
Will Win - Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert!
Could Win - The Band's Visit
Should Win - Once On This Island
Commentary - Normally, this album goes to one of the big Tony winners for Musical or Revival of a Musical, this year that would be either The Band's Visit or Once On This Island. However, after it swept the Emmy awards, and earned some of its producers EGOT awards, I think that the mega-hit Jesus Christ Superstar Live will pull out the win here. However, many underestimated the popularity of the The Band's Visit when it pulled off three or four more wins that predicted at the Tonys, so win here would not be a surprise.
Best Comedy Album
Will Win - Dave Chappelle "Equanimity and The Bird Revelation"
Could Win - Patton Oswalt "Annihilation" or Chris Rock "Tamborine"
Should Win - Chappelle
Commentary - Three previous winners of this category, including the two most recent winners are all competing for another Grammy. Of the three I am going with Chappelle. He just won last year, so he is fresh on voters minds (plus these voters often get on a streak with artists they like). Also he just won another Emmy for Variety Special for Equanimity, so I think a Grammy will follow suit.
Best Spoken Word Album
Will Win - President Jimmy Carter "Faith: A Journey for All"
Could Win - Tiffany Haddish "The Last Black Unicorn" or Questlove "Creative Quest"
Commentary - This award tends to bounce back and forth between comedians reading their own audiobooks and politicians. So this makes me think this is a race between Tiffany Haddish, fresh off an Emmy win and former President Jimmy Carter. Carter has won twice, and has had a lot of nominations. I think he pulls off another win, but Haddish, or possibly Questlove, the only musician in the bunch, could upset.
Will Win - Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert!
Could Win - The Band's Visit
Should Win - Once On This Island
Commentary - Normally, this album goes to one of the big Tony winners for Musical or Revival of a Musical, this year that would be either The Band's Visit or Once On This Island. However, after it swept the Emmy awards, and earned some of its producers EGOT awards, I think that the mega-hit Jesus Christ Superstar Live will pull out the win here. However, many underestimated the popularity of the The Band's Visit when it pulled off three or four more wins that predicted at the Tonys, so win here would not be a surprise.
