And the Nominees Are...

'Tis the season for creative juices to flow! Coming out of one Screen Actor's Guild Award show to the next. In the mists of this season's award shows, I find it appropriate to cover such an event that defines music (to an extent.) Oh yes, it's the 51st Grammy Awards on February 8, 2009.

Now I suppose the Grammy's are something one could argue over. Whether its the fact that most of the nominees are based on radio play and not hardcore talent. Or the fact that they should just go ahead and announce the Record of the Year first, because no one wants to sit through 3 hours of back to back unknown artists, speaking from a first hand testimonial. But it seems this year, the case is no different. Nominees include chart toppers such as Lil' Wayne, Leona Lewis, and M.I.A.
