2008 Grammy Nominations Announced

Nominations this time around seem to have come from left field with Kanye West leading with 8 nods, and Amy Winehouse following with 6. Considering the downs in their lives right now, let's hope that these nominations will be a little pick-me-up.

Here are the lists of the top four nominee lists...

The Pretender by Foo Fighters


Umbrella by Rihanna featuring Jay-Z

Rehab by Amy Winehouse


Song of the Year

Hey There Delilah by Tom Higgenson (Plain White T's)


Like a Star by Corinne Bailey Rae

Best Album

Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace by Foo Fighters

These Days by Vince Gill

River: The Joni Letters by Herbie Hancock

Back to Black by Amy Winehouse


Now onto something no one expected. An all girl category? 2008's new artist nominees are all of the female persuasion (Remember Hayley Williams is Paramore's frontgirl). Do we see a little cat fight in the making?
