Breaking away from a long early-morning tradition, the nominations for the 51st Annual Grammy Awards were announced last night on primetime television as part of a special concert featuring performances by Christina Aguilera, John Mayer, and Mariah Carey, who opened the show with the holiday hit “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home).”Madonna picked up only two nominations – I know! – one for “4 Minutes” in the Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals category, thanks to the participation of one Justin Timberlake and one Timbaland, and one for “Give It 2 Me,” which is up for Best Dance Recording.
The “4 Minutes - Junkie XL Remix” also was nominated in the Best Remixed Recording category.
Coldplay’s Viva La Vida is up for Album of the Year, while its great title track received nods for both Record of the Year and Song of the Year.
Also nominated for Song of the Year is Estelle’s “American Boy.”
Leona Lewis received three nominations: Best Pop Vocal Album for her debut, Spirit, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Record of the Year for “Bleeding Love.”
And finally, Kathy Griffin’s plot to get a Grammy nomination worked (if you watch her show on Bravo then you know): her For Your Consideration was considered and is up for Best Comedy album.
The Grammy Awards will air live from Los Angeles’ Staples Center on Feb. 8. on CBS.
