Grammys Turning Nominations Into TV Special

The Grammys are turning a dry nominations announcement into an hourlong TV special.

"The Grammy Nominations Concert Live! -- Countdown to Music's Biggest Night" will air Dec. 3. The Grammy Awards are scheduled for Feb. 8 on CBS.

The show is a departure for the Grammys and other major awards. Top Academy Award and Emmy nominations, for instance, are announced in brief ceremonies that air as news stories -- not as commercially supported programs.

The Grammy special will include nominations for at least six categories and feature performances by past winners at the Nokia Theatre, CBS said. It also will mark the opening of the Grammy Museum in the adjacent L.A. Live complex. Presenters and performers will be announced later.

Award shows in general have been struggling to attract audiences. This year's Grammy Awards drew 17.2 million viewers, making it one of the least-watched Grammys, while the Emmy ceremony in September had its smallest audience yet with 12.34 million viewers.

Coldplay most likely winning the major categories IMO... But i think it would give the grammys more credibility if they supported a non-commercial album like alanis morissette's latest which IMO is album of the year and underneath is song of the year if you consider the lyrics but that's just me. I will laugh my ass off if leona lewis is completely snubbed and not even nominated.
But here are my guesses not preference :
Album, song, record of the year viva la vida.
best rock - viva la vida
best new artist - leona lewis
Best female pop- leona lewis
and i cant guess the others yet

Radiohead's In Rainbows is up for nomination this year... I don't think coldplay has a chance against them as viva la vida was a much weaker album. And if you're going by just hype and publicity alone, as many of the categories usually seem to go, In Rainbows as been getting press all year long... I feel like Viva La Vida had one huge single then..... Also, the grammys always does this thing where they make up for screwing up in the past, and radiohead have had 2 much stronger albums in the past that lost album of the year, so idk...

i think santogold and duffy will be nominated for best new artist. probably leona lewis will be nominated, but i dont think she'll have much of a chance of winning

I think the big nominees/winners this year will be Duffy, Adele, Coldplay, and Alicia Keys (if she's eligible, the Grammys won't miss a chance at slobbering all over her. lol). I'm hoping Sara Bareilles gets a nomination.

crossing my fingers that in rainbows makes the shortlist and wins album of the year, and song of the year for one of their tracks (i see only house of cards made this list, which is odd... eh)
really hoping pink is nominated for and wins best pop vocal, and is at least nominated for best record
i like adele for best new artist - her voice is just amazing and her songwriting is fresh

I don't think LA will get a nomination. :/ I feel like they should and they are talented but...

Take out Jordin Sparks and put in Adele. Adele, Duffy, Estelle are what the Grammys have been eating up for years. (Amy Winehouse, Corrine Bailey Rae, etc). They are great vocalists with a very specific genre.

Expect to see: Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Sugarland (from country) and I would say Lil'Wayne, Kid Rock, Coldplay, Leona Lewis. I know Alicia Keys will get a nomination. At least one.

(Even though she has 11 wins, I think)

adele is definitely the standout from this years group of british singers, i think. Her song writing is very strong, i also think santogold will get a BNA nom

Kelly should perform she definitely had one of the most memorable performances in history as well as she just is Grammy material. Going from just a struggling young woman to solidified singer/songwriter.

I think Sheryl Crow will pull out a surprise nomination for AOTY.

As for Best New Artist, Leona, Duffy, Adele, and maybe MGMT will pull out the noms.
