Better yet, the veteran producer’s second solo record will feature collaborations with some of the modern pop elite: Daft Punk, Justin Timberlake, Alicia Keys and Miley Cyrus.

The Grammys are shaping up to be a concert for the ages. The awards are almost beside the point – the Grammys are about spectacle, and this year is no exception. Some of 2013’s most discussed pop stars will perform, including Lorde, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Robin Thicke (in a duet with the legendary band Chicago) and Katy Perry. The show will feature critical favorites (Kacey Musgraves, Kendrick Lamar), chart toppers (Taylor Swift, Imagine Dragons), rock royalty (Metallica, Queens of the Stone Age, Lindsey Buckingham), country heartthrobs (Keith Urban, Hunter Hayes) and legends of the summer (Daft Punk, Pharrell and Nile Rodgers). And that’s not all! The surviving members of the Beatles, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, will offer a rare performance and accept a Lifetime Achievement Award. Daft Punk will be joined by none other than perennial favorite Stevie Wonder.

Alfonso Cuaron elevated 3D to the peak of its awe-inspiring potential.
The 2014 Grammy nominations were announced during a live CBS telecast on Dec. 6 at 10 p.m. The show was marred by frequent technical errors, and the nominations were not always pleasantly surprising, but the show had moments of high quality nonetheless.
