This list I took from AllKpop.
But I would like to point some flaws from this year GDA, from Grand Prize nominees. Now, I would like to give you explanation of this several categories below from wikipedia.
Album Award is Grand Prize. Awarded to the performer of the best of the best full-length album belong to "Records of the Year".
{Records of the Year are awarded to the performers of top 5 full-length albums of the year.}
Digital Album Award is Grand Prize in Digital Releasing. Awarded to the performer of the best of the best full-length album, mini-album (extended play) or single (which was digital released), belong to "Records of the Year in Digital Releasing".
{Records of the Year in Digital Releasing are awarded to the performers of top 5 full-length album, mini-albums (extended plays) or singles of the year (which was digital released).}
Most Popular Artist Award is Popularity Awards of the Year. Awarded to the performers who gained popularity of the year.
Nah let's see what's strange. [...] is my comment.

Okay, did you see what I found strange? I found 2 nominees with mini albums. Honestly, I don't mind with them being the nominees, I like their songs. But it supposed to be award for full-length album. Wonder why? Me too.
Another thing is there are no TVXQ (HoMin) and JYJ. Some other people protested about no Big Bang too, but I think it's normal since they released a mini album. And I also understand why JYJ isn't on the list since they are blocked like almost everywhere, so no wonder if they are being blocked here too (that's really unfair! argh!). But no TVXQ is strange. They sold more than 200.000 copies for Keep Your Head Down in the first half this year. It's a full album and they are not nominated? If you check Hanteo site now, they are in the top for this week. There's something fishy going on, I think.
So GDA, if you still want to have the honor of Korean Grammy or the most prestigious awards, please fix your way in choosing nominees.
