2008 Grammy Nominees Announced
It would appear that personal turmoil equals Grammy nods this year. At least that’s the case for Kanye West and Amy Winehouse. Between his mother dying and her husband being thrown in the slammer, these two were pretty desperate for some good news.
Between the two of them, the “Jesus Walks” rapper and the “Rehab” singer have a total of fourteen nominations (8 for him, 6 for her). And they’re not the only ones with multiple chances to take home an award.
On the next tier down, there were four artists with 5 nominations each: Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, T-Pain, and Foo Fighters. And Akon, Dierks Bentley, Feist, Chris Daughtry, Tim McGraw, Rihanna, Ne-Yo, Bruce Springsteen, and John Newton all have four chances.
