And the Grammy May Go to…

The Grammys are turning 50 next year, so you know they’re going to rock it out with one of their biggest bashes yet.

Among the people who will be invited to the party, per today’s nominations, are Kanye West, an eight-time nominee on the strength of his album Graduation; Amy Winehouse, who received six nominations including Best New Artist; and the Foo Fighters, Jay-Z, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, and T-Pain – each with five.

Akon, Dierks Bentley, Chris Daughtry, Feist, Tim McGraw, John Newton, Ne-Yo, Rihanna, and Bruce Springsteen earned four nominations.

In a fantastic snub, Robin Thicke was nominated a whopping zero times for his The Evolution of Robin Thicke.

Mika, meanwhile, was nominated once, in the Best Dance Recording category, for “Love Today.”

And Madonna, having not released an album since 2005’s Confessions on a Dance Floor, was nominated in the Best Long Form Music Video category, for “The Confessions Tour” special that aired on NBC over the 2006 Thanksgiving holiday.

The 50th Annual Grammy Awards will be presented on Feb. 30, and will air live at 8 p.m. on CBS.
