Ingrosso is nominated for five awards, including the heavy categories of Artist of the Year and Album of the Year. This means he has the chance to break his own record from the P3 Gold Gala, where he won all four awards in the categories he was nominated in.
However, he is not alone in being nominated in many classes. Amanda Bergman and Becky and the Birds (Thea Gustafsson) have four nominations each, and Maja Francis, Miss Li, and El Perro Del Mar (Sarah Assbring) have three each.
Just like at the P3 Gold Gala, the late rapper C Gambino is posthumously nominated. This time for two awards, in the categories of Album of the Year – where his album "In memory of some stand up guys (private collection)" is competing against Benjamin Ingrosso's "Pink Velvet Theatre" – and Hip-Hop of the Year.
In connection with the P3 Gold Gala, Member of Parliament Fredrik Kärrholm (The Moderate Party) and currently suspended prosecutor Lisa dos Santos went out and criticized Sveriges Radio for promoting the hip-hop artist who was shot to death in Gothenburg in June.
I don't think they know where the limit goes, said dos Santos in an interview with TT on January 22.
The Grammis Gala will be held on March 27 at Annexet in Stockholm. The gala will not be broadcast on TV, but will be live-streamed on Grammis' own YouTube channel.
