Ever since Celine Dion beat both The Smashing Pumpkins and Beck at the Grammys (and my father yelled at me for yelling at the television past 11pm) I’ve steered clear of the music awards show. But for those of you who still enjoy The Grammys, the nominations came out today.

Apparently Lil Wayne and Coldplay got more nominations than anyone?  I will say I was interested that M.I.A. got nominated for Record of the Year (when did she get that big?) and that Radiohead got nominated for Album of the Year.  And also, Stephen Colbert got a nod for spoken word as did Steve Martin and Sidney Poitier - which is OK by me!

Of course none of the above means I will watch
takepart to read the entire nominees list and also takepart to learn more about Coldplay’s charity work.
