Yes, if you look Colbie Caillat in the Grammy Winners database she's there with 2 Grammy wins:
Fearless - Album Of The Year
Lucky - Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals

But I think the featured artist needs to have writing credits on the album.

So when The Speakerboxxx/Love Below won Album of the Year, you're telling me that Patti LaBelle, Sleepy Brown, Jazze Pha, Killer Mike, Konkrete, Big Gipp, Ludacris, Jay-Z, Khujo Goodie, Cee-Lo Green, Slimm Calhoun, Lil' Jon, & Mello all received a Grammy trophy for being featured artists?

Hm. Beyonce is credited for "Telephone", right? She will get a main category nomination without releasing anything.

I know why The Fame didn't win last year. I wouldn't want to give Flo Rida the most prestigious award either.

Actually, it doesn't seem like that's true. The Grammy site also lists Colby O'Donis, Flo Rida, and Space Cowboy as nominees for AOTY last year for being "featured artists" in The Fame. And unless I'm mistaken, I don't think Colby O'Donis has any writing credits in The Fame...
Likewise, all three of the "featured artists" listed as nominees for the DMB album this year were instrument players, not guest vocalists. And two of them don't have any writing credits in the album. (Interestingly, also, they only listed three guest musicians as "featured artists" but the Wiki article lists a total of 5 as "additional personnel" *shrugs*)
On the other side of the spectrum, neither Kanye West nor Lady Gaga were credited as "featured artist" nominees for I Am... Sasha Fierce. Though that may just mean that they nominated either the standard or deluxe edition instead of the 2009 re-release or the platinum edition...
Maybe the labels have the option of whether or not to list featured artists when they submit an album for AOTY??

I guess we will have to wait until the labels' submissions.
About I Am... Sasha Fierce Lady GaGa & Kanye West weren't in the original album released in 2008 and the Platinum Edition/re-release were released after the elegibility period.

Question: if a song wins SOTY, but the performer didn't write it, does he/she get the award?

No. That award is only for the songwriters.

IMO, I can see this Grammy's is gonna suck real bad. Eminem and Lady Gaga are going to win everything.
UGHH I wish Beyonce was back in the game right now cause she would do an awesome performance.

The only reason why I want Eminem to win AOTY is so that Rihanna and Lil Wayne gets the award as well lol.
But I think Love The Way You Lie is going to get ROTY tho.

LA Times: Best New Artist Predictions

Grammy predix for best new artist: Justin Bieber, Drake and ...?
October 14, 2010 | 11:28 am
Our resident Grammy seers Darrin "DoubleD" Dortch and David "Guru" Schnelwar agree on three of the five nominees for best new artist: Justin Bieber, Drake and Florence and the Machine. Dortch opts for Janelle Monae and Mumford & Sons for the fourth and fifth slots; Schnelwar prefers Jason Derulo and Ke$ha.
Justin Bieber news
Personally, I think Ke$ha is a good pick. I even believe Adam Lambert has a shot even though both pundits knock him down to long-shot status. I know, I know, "American Idol" stars don't do well here. Only Carrie Underwood has managed to break through for a nomination (she won in 2007), but Lambert has street cred. Too bad Susan Boyle doesn't. She certainly deserves a spot more than Vampire Weekend.
You can see how Dortch and Schnelwar handicap the race for best record of the year here.
BEST NEW ARTIST: SCHNELWAR'S PREDIX
(Front-runners)
Justin Bieber
Jason Derulo
Drake
Florence and the Machine
Ke$ha
(Possible)
B.O.B.
Susan Boyle
Janelle Monae
Mumford & Sons
The Script
(Long shots)
Taio Cruz
Adam Lambert
La Roux
Neon Trees
Vampire Weekend
SCHNELWAR'S COMMENTARY: The Grammys do not discriminate against teen pop for best new artist. Previous nominees have been Hanson (1997), the Backstreet Boys (1998) and the Jonas Brothers (2008). Justin Bieber won the MTV Video Music Award for best new artist and is likely to be nominated in the same category at the Grammys.
It is hard to turn on Top 40 radio and not hear one of the multiple hits from Ke$ha or Jason Derulo. Other Top 40 possibilities are B.O.B., Taio Cruz, La Roux and Adam Lambert.
The Grammys changed their best-new-artist rules, giving a second chance to Drake, Janelle Monae, the Script and Vampire Weekend to compete.
Florence and the Machine is likely to be the lone representative of rock. Other possibilities for rock are Mumford & Sons and Neon Trees.
Susan Boyle dominated the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart for the last quarter of 2009. She is possible, but not guaranteed.
Nicki Minaj and Bruno Mars seem not to be eligible this year and are likely to carry over to next year.
BEST NEW ARTIST: DORTCH'S PREDIX
(Front-runners)
Justin Bieber
Drake
Florence and the Machine
Janelle Monae
Mumford & Sons
(Possible)
B.O.B.
La Roux
Luke Bryan
Vampire Weekend
(Long shots)
Susan Boyle
Kid Cudi
Melanie Fiona
Adam Lambert
Neon Trees
V.V. Brown
Chris Young
DORTCH'S COMMENTARY: NARAS usually likes to throw a random nominee or two in this category (see last year's Silversun Pickups for proof). However, this year is very competitive and I doubt we will see any unrecognizable artists in this field.
The industry wants to celebrate acts who've sold well this year, so look for Justin Bieber and Drake to get in easily. Voters love female acts in this race, so look for Florence and the Machine to steal a spot since her recent VMA performance put her on the map with U.S. performers.
Industry execs are touting the chances of B.O.B. and Mumford & Sons, so I'll go with the latter since they are seen as a more serious artist. However, don't be surprised if Ke$ha, who has a platinum album and four Top 10 hits this eligibility period, steals a spot. And Janelle Monae has the most critically acclaimed album of the year and could win the whole thing if voters look past her lack of commercial success.

Justin Bieber, Florence + The Machine, and Drake are locks for Best New Artist.
