Nominations in top categories for the 46th annual Grammy Awards were announced Thursday. Here they are. (Does it seem fair that Willie Nelson was nominated twice in the same category? Also, how does Fountains of Wayne qualify for New Artist? Their debut album was released in 1996! By that logic, Liz Phair should be nominated for Best New Artist. And besides, how could "Stacy's Mom" possibly compete against the "P.I.M.P." remix?) Now accepting predictions ... Here are mine: Record of the Year: "Crazy in Love," Beyonce featuring Jay-Z Album of the Year: "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below," OutKast Song of the Year: "Lose Yourself," Eminem New Artist: 50 Cent Pop Vocal Album: "Justified," Justin Timberlake Rock Album: Who cares? Anyone? Bueller? Rap Album: "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below," OutKast Country Album: (either of the Willie Nelson albums) |
