Album of the Year
Best bets:
Bruce Springsteen's "Magic"
Linkin Park's "Minutes to Midnight"
Paul McCartney's "Memory Almost Full"
Kanye West's "Graduation"
Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black"
Possibles:
Daughtry's "Daughtry"
Akon's "Konvicted"
Arcade Fire's "Neon Bible"
Rihanna's "Good Girl Gone Bad"
Timbaland's "Shock Value"
Annie Lennox's "Songs of Mass Destruction"
Deserved long-shots:
White Stripes' "Icky Thump"
Lily Allen's "Alright, Still"
LCD Soundsystem's "Sound of Silver"
M.I.A.'s "Kala"
Mavis Staples' "We'll Never Turn Back"
Quick thought: With critically adored albums from Springsteen and McCartney this year, Recording Academy voters will likely fear being too boomer-centric, opening the way for a new artist like Winehouse (we're relevant, really!). West deserves a nom here, and has been shut out from winning in the past. The most noticeable omission will likely be Radiohead's "In Rainbows," while others will argue for the Eagles' "Long Road Out of Eden," both released after the Sept. 30 eligibility period had passed.
Best New Artist
Best bets:
Amy Winehouse
Lily Allen
Taylor Swift
Daughtry
Feist
Possibles:
Chrisette Michelle
Robin Thicke
Colbie Caillat
Gym Class Heroes
Deserved long-shots/impossibilities:
Peter Bjorn & John
Battles
Besnard Lakes
Kid Sister
Quick thought: Daughtry will get nominated -- and win, giving the best new artist category away to two artists America has already voted upon via "American Idol" for two years running, as Carrie Underwood won last year. Some of the others aren't completely new -- Winehouse, Feist, etc. -- but Grammy plays fast and loose with what qualifies as a "new artist." If there's an upset to Daughtry, it's Winehouse, but watch out for fast-rising country singer Swift.
Record of the Year
Best bets:
Rihanna's "Umbrella," featuring Jay-Z
Feist's "1234"
Kanye West's "Stronger"
Lily Allen's "Smile"
Linkin Park's "What I've Done"
Possibilities:
Other songs from West or Linkin Park, for one
Beyonce's "Irreplaceable"
Miranda Lambert's "Famous In a Small Town"
Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats"
Alicia Keys' "No One"
The Eagles' "How Long"
Amy Winehouse's "Rehab"
Taylor Swift's "Tim McGraw"
Marooon 5's "It Won't Be Long Before Soon"
John Mayer's "Gravity"
Colbie Caillat's "Bubbly"
Deserved long-shots:
M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes"
LCD Soundsystem's "All My Friends"
!!!'s "Myth Takes"
The Shins' "Phantom Limb"
Arcade Fire's "Intervention"
Fall Out Boy's "The Take Over, The Break's Over"
Quick thought: A more detailed ramble on this category is available here. Main thing to note is I'm probably wrong on Allen's "Smile." Everyone I talk to says Winehouse's "Rehab" is a shoo-in, but I am being 100% swayed by personal feelings with that pick, which I am disclosing here. Missing from the above is Peter Bjorn & John's "Young Folks"; it shouldn't technically be eligible as it's a 2006 song, although it could possibly be lobbied to be included because it wasn't given a proper U.S. push until early 2007.

Is Alicia Keys even eligible to be nominated? Because if she is then Britney definitely is.
Also, Miranda Lambert at least deserves a country nomination or 2.

"Gimme More" is not eligible because Britney's label didn't submitted the song to the grammys. Maybe next year she could get some nominations for Blackout in the dance categories.

It's not possible. Fergie submitted "Big girls don't cry" not "Fergalicious" and Avril submitted "When you're gone" not "Girlfriend" to the "possible nominations" for the grammys.

I'm not too excited for the nominations. I was disappointed last year and I'm sure this time around is no different -- therefore I'm not getting my hopes up. If some of my favorites get noticed, good for them. If not, oh well.
