Thanks!
The number of nominees in a given category was determined by the number of nominations submitted for that category, so that each category had 3-6 finalists, with 5 being the preferable number (in the event that either 4 or 6 had to be chosen, 4 were chosen for lesser categories, and 6 were chosen for the major categories). In the event that either 2 or 7+ nominees had to be chosen, only 2 were selected. Results of either one or zero nominees were avoided wherever possible. The category of "Best Rap Album" did not receive enough submissions to generate a nominee and has therefore been removed from this year's awards process.
