Will the winners be the ones who deserve it this year at the Grammys?

Beyoncé will be the night's big winner while some categories are full of controversy.

The Grammy Awards are set for Sunday night and with a field of nominees at the top of their musical games, it’s worth taking a look at who will walk away with a gilded gramophone.

Beyoncé is expected to be the night’s big winner; both the Huffington Post and Billboard predict Beyoncé is the hands-down favorite for Album of the Year, and deservedly so. The diva’s self-titled album crushed it in the sales department, produced hit after hit, and left everyone pondering how to “pull a Beyoncé” after its secret production and release.

The races are a little tighter in other Grammy categories. Sam Smith and Sia are strong Record of the Year contenders – plus let’s not forget Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off – but the Brit who stole our hears with Stay with Me should snag this prize.

Smith is also the frontrunner for Best New Artist and Song of the Year, so he, along with Bey, will be making multiple trips to the stage.

The Best Rap Album category is shaping up to the be the night’s most controversial category as Iggy Azalea’s The New Classic is almost guaranteed to win over efforts by Childish Gambino, Common, Eminem, Schoolboy Q and Wiz Khalifa.

Another disappointment will likely emerge from Best Rock Album; Beck’s Morning Phase is considered one of his best, if not one of the year’s best, albums, but the Huffington Post thinks voters will show their age by giving the Grammy to U2’s Songs of Innocence.

Notable names that may leave empty handed include Pharrell Williams, Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, but don’t count any of these artists out yet. The Grammys are always an unpredictable affair, so expect this year to be no different.
