And the nominees arepretty much all of our favorites. Following in Beyonces 2010 footsteps, Eminem got 10 noms, Lady Gaga scored 6 noms, as well as Jay-Z and newcomer Bruno Mars got a whopping 7 Grammy nominations. Sure Bruno Mars album Doo-Wops & Hooligans dropped a week after the Grammy eligibility period, Bruno scored noms for his collaborations with other artists. Finally the Academy gets it right. Be sure to tune to the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards being held on Feburary 13, 2011 on CBS.
