Latin Grammys 2014: Full List of Nominees, Performers, Schedule & Date
The 15th Annual Latin Grammy's are just around the corner, as fans and music critics await the highly anticipate event. This year there were more 10,000 entries for different musicians and songs that stretch over a wide array of Latin music genres. On Wednesday, the Grammy committee announced via Twitter the all of the nominations, giving fans a new found foundation from which to start making predictions.
"In this, our 15th anniversary year, we received more than 10,000 entries and the nominations continue to reflect a dynamic and vibrant worldwide Latin music community of artists, producers, engineers, songwriters and everyone involved in the recording process," said Gabriel Abaroa Jr., President/CEO of The Latin Recording Academy.
This year appears to be all about Calle 13, who leads all other musicians and groups with the most nominations. Eduardo Cabra from the music group has 10 nominations while the rest of the Puerto Rican group has nine nominations. Other big names such as Prince Royce, and Enrique Iglesias are in the running for best Latin Artist, Best Song and Best Album of the year.
In order to let fans do their own speculation we've complied the list of nominees for the top two major categories. There are always the favorites and those who should almost just be given the award immediately, but if that were the case where would the drama be? Award shows are all about shocking the audience as the underdog always has a chance to slide their way to the podium.

Depending on how the Grammy committee does their judging, Enrique Iglesias could come away with song of the year. Iglesias has always been an immense crossover artist who it just as successful on American airwaves and mainstream radio. Marc Anthony is also a top contender along with Calle 13, who some would say deserve the award the most.
The Latin Grammy's kick off at the MGM Grand on Nov. 20 and will be televised on the Univision Network from 8 p.m. ET/11 p.m. PT.
