Antonoff will also go head-to-head with Canadian record producer and songwriter Cirkut for Producer Of The Year, and Non-Classical. Cirkut has also scored multiple nominations for Record and Song Of The Year, as well as Album Of The Year and Best Dance and Best Electronic recording.
In addition to Gaga's 'Mayhem' and Lamar's 'GNX', the Album Of The Year category is rounded out by Carpenter's 'Man's Best Friend', Bad Bunny's 'Debí Tirar Más Fotos', Bieber's 'Swag', Clipse's 'Let God Sort Em Out', Leon Thomas' 'Mutt', and Tyler The Creator's 'Chromakopia'.
