Grammy nominations snubs and surprises

Here are some notable snubs and surprises among the nominations for the 57th Grammy Awards.
Grammy nominations snub: ‘Frozen’ soundtrack for record or song of the year
Caption Grammy nominations snub: ‘Frozen’ soundtrack for record or song of the year
Disney
Disney’s “Frozen” soundtrack was the biggest-selling album of 2014, but evidently left Grammy voters cold. The set spawned a major hit in “Let It Go,” yet the tune failed to score a nod as album, record or song of the year.
Grammy nominations snub: Beyonce’s ‘Drunk in Love’ for record of the year
Caption Grammy nominations snub: Beyonce’s ‘Drunk in Love’ for record of the year
Lawrence K. Ho / Los Angeles Times
Also left out — well, relatively speaking — was Beyonce. Though she was nominated for several awards, including album, many expected her hit single “Drunk in Love” to make the cut for record. Didn’t happen.
Grammy nominations surprise: Beck’s ‘Morning Phase’ for album of the year
Caption Grammy nominations surprise: Beck’s ‘Morning Phase’ for album of the year
Ricardo DeAratanha / Los Angeles Times
Beck’s “Morning Phase” is another album not widely forecast to compete for the Grammys’ biggest prize. With its hand-played arrangements and moody introspection, it satisfies the rootsy hankering that’s led the academy to recently honor Adele and Mumford & Sons.
Grammy nominations surprise: Pharrell’s ‘Happy’ for song of the year
Caption Grammy nominations surprise: Pharrell’s ‘Happy’ for song of the year
Bethany Mollenkof / Los Angeles Times
Pharrell Williams’ ubiquitous “Happy” was similarly — and just as weirdly — ignored for record of the year. But the singer-producer can hardly complain: His “Girl” turned up in the prestigious album category, a hefty acknowledgment for a rather lightweight collection.
