SURPRISE: K-Pop Demon Hunters

Since the Netflix film's August release, "Golden" has become a total earworm, landing it in the Song of the Year category. 

Now, the fictional band HUNTR/X is the first K-pop group to vie for the gramophone in that category and the second fictional group to do so since The Chipmunks in 1959.

Brothers Pusha T and Malice proved their reunion for Let God Sort Em Out, their first studio album together since 2009's Til the Casket Drops, was a golden collab. They earned five nods, including Album of the Year and Best Rap Album.

SURPRISE: Justin Bieber

The "Peaches" singer proved that getting back in the studio bore some very sweet fruits. His latest project SWAG earned him three nominations, including Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album. 

His latest nod comes three years after he was last nominated at the award show for Best Music Film in 2023 for Justin Bieber.

With six nods in total, the Victorious alum will also compete in the Album of the Year category, Best R&B performance, Best Traditional R&B Performance, Best R&B Song and Best R&B Album.
