What you need to know about the Grammy nominees:
Beyonce, the artist possibly known as Sasha Fierce, received 10 Grammy nominations including Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Record of the Year. (Happy now Kanye West?)
Taylor Swift received eight nominations. Yawn. No surprise there.
Lady Gaga received five nominations but was denied a Best New Artist bid. (Let the debate rage on.)
Other artists/males we’re happy to see nominated: Maxwell, Kid Cudi, Stephen Colbert, Kings of Leon, John Legend, Phoenix, Coldplay, Wilco, Drake, Jay-Z, Steve Martin
Arists we’re not too please to see on the list: Black Eyed Peas, Dave Matthews Band, Katy Perry, Green Day, Sean Paul
Most interesting category: Best New Artist. With Zac Brown Band, Keri Hilson, MGMT, Silversun Pickups and The Ting Tings nominated, we can’t wait to see who wins.
