The nominations for the 58th annual Grammy Awards were recently announced, with many of today's popular artists making it into the top categories. However, Latinos were relegated to the niche awards.

While the top categories will undoubtedly be the ones making headlines, lets take a look at the areas where Latinos thrived.

After failing to make the Oscar nominations last year, Antonio Sanchez was nominated for his score on "Birdman." He will compete for the Best Score Soundtrack against Oscar nominees Alexandre Desplat for "The Imitation Game," Johann Johannsson for "The Theory of Everything," Hans Zimmer for "Interstellar" and Justin Hurwitz for "Whiplash."

Classical music saw many Latinos emerge, including Fernando Guimarães. He was nominated as part of the cast of Monteverdi's "Il Ritorno D'Ulisse In Patria," which is nominated for the Best Opera Recording.

Rolando Villazón will also compete in the same category, nominated as part of the cast of Mozart's "Die Entführung Aus Dem Serail."

Finally, Isabel Leonard will also compete for Best Opera Recording as part of the cast of Ravel's "L'Enfant Et Les Sortilèges."
