Some Notes:
- Beverly Hills for Best Rock Song? Oy vey.
- The Album of the Year Nominations couldn't be much more traditional, it's quite disappointing. You'd swear McCartney died or something, looks like they've moved that appreciation over to the elderly too.
- Go Funeral! Also: The Arcade Fire were also nominated for Best Original Song for Television/Film for "Cold Wind"' from Six Feet Under.
- Interesting to see Coldplay entirely out of the Alternative categories. I am under the impression that the previous two albums were stuck there, the Rock label opened them up to more categories.
- As expected Kanye/Carey domination...I'll ignore John Legend for now.
- If you go to the link, you'll find the Film Score nominations...which are really quite good. FINALLY Michael Giacchino gets some sort of recognition for his amazing work on the Incredibles, plus the best piece of score from Episode III gets some attention as well.
- Go Feel Good Inc. as well...but I can't help put feell that Kelly Clarkson got robbed. Since U Been Gone was, simply, the best single released and the best record produced.

Springsteen was among the surprises his Devils & Dust was nominated for song of the year, along with Rascal Flatts's Bless the Broken Road, Legend's Ordinary People, Carey's We Belong Together and U2's Sometimes You Can't Make it On Your Own.
U2, nominated for five awards, was also represented in the album of the year category for How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb. Besides Carey and West, other nominees in the category were Stefani for Love. Angel. Music. Baby and Paul McCartney's Chaos and Creation in the Backyard.
