Although West release My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy in 2010, it missed the cut-off for last year’s Grammy nominations.

Amazingly, it hasn’t been nominated for Album Of The Year; they’re Adele’s 21, Lady Gaga’s Born This Way, Foo Fighters’ Wasting Light, Bruno Mars’ Doo-Wops & Hooligans and Rihanna’s Loud.

‘All Of The Lights’ earned Song Of The Year, Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, Best Rap Song noms, ‘Otis’ was nominated for Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song, and Watch The Throne and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy square off for Best Rap Album.

Adele, Bruno Mars and Foo Fighters got six nominations each, and Lil Wayne and Skrillex both nabbed five .

The Record Of The Year nominees were ‘Rolling In The Deep’ by Adele, ‘Holocene’ by Bon Iver, ‘Grenade’ by Bruno Mars, ‘The Cave’ by Mumford & Sons, and ‘Firework’ by Katy Perry.

Check out an abridged list below (there are 78 categories!).
