Amikor végignézi valaki az egész listát, kicsit az az érzése támad, mintha igazán szűk névsorból választhattak volna a jelölő tagok, mindenhol ugyanazok a nevek szerepelnek. Idén több új kategóriát is behoztak a versenybe, mint az év szövegírója, legjobb filmzene videójátékokhoz és egyéb interaktív médiához és a legjobb dal a társadalmi változásokért. A jazzben jóval változatosabb volt a kiválasztottak névsora, mint a pop zenében, de azért itt is akadtak duplán, triplán jelöltek: John Beasley triplán, Wayne Shorter, Cécile McLorin Salvant, Miguel Zenón és Danilo Pérez duplán. Grammy jelölt lett a pár hete Budapesten fellépő Joshua Redman, Brad Mehldau, Christian McBride, Brian Blade quartet által bemutatott LongGone album. A német WDR két zenekara és az SWR big bandje is jelölt lett egy-egy albummal. A legjobb filmek kategóriájában jelölték a Jazz Fest: A New Orleans Story című dokumentumfilmet.
