After the jump is the list of Grammy Nominations for this year (well, I deleted the ones I thought were boring, like “Best Polka Performance” or “Best Spoken Word Album for Children”). The highlighted ones are who I want to win. Not that they actually will, because not everyone is blessed with my taste in music. 
Who do you think should/will win?
