I'm a sucker for awards.
Normally, the Grammy people suck at picking nominees (and sometimes they totally nominate people for awards they really don't fit into...)
This year there are Quite a few nominations that are artists I actually like (and the kind that normally get no respect from the Grammy people...aside from Rihannah, she is more typical of a grammy nominee...but I had to include umbrella in my list cause I love that song). So I'll list those and then we can just discuss the grammys.
"Umbrella" is nominated for: Record of The Year, Song Of The Year, Best Rap/Sung collaboration (wtf kind of category is that)
Plain White T's/Hey There Delilah nominated for: Song Of The Year, Best Pop Performance by a duo or group
Paramore are nominated for Best New Artist(!!!)
Shiny Toy Guns for Best Electronic/Dance Album
Cassadaga is nominated for best record packaging
There are a lot of good nominees in : Best Boxed Or Special Limited Edition Package --The Black Parade, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (Limited Edition) & Venus Doom
Howard Benson is nominated for Producer Of The Year.
Mute Math's "Typical" video is nominated for Best Short Form Music Video

The fact that STG, Paramore & Plain White T's got nominations is so cool. I'm sure Paramore won't win, but I'm glad they're nominated.
It humors me that PWT's are nominated for Hey There Delilah, a song that was first released three years ago. Oh well...that song has fucking been over played like crazy...but I still kind of love it.
