HEAR, HEAR!

GQ has it about right.

Kanye dosen't have a chance in hell. I'll be rooting for those boys from Nebraska, Maroon 5. And of course my girl, Gwen. Duh. Not that either of them will win either.

We all know that Ray Charles will take it all. Or Josh Groban. Take your pick.

Case(s) in point on the nomination front:

Best Rap/Sung Collaboration
Dip It Low
Christina Milian Featuring Fabolous
This makes me want to end it all...

I guess B was right about it being a masterpiece...

This actually got me excited about rock again.

The rock and electronic/dance categories were actually pretty decent. I must say I'm suprised as there was not a single nom for Creed. Oh, that's right, he was too busy eating butter to actually record an album last year.

I'm sorry. I forgot.
