I would just die of happiness if The Truth About Love was nominated for AOTY and one Unless "Try" blows the f**k up or something else outrageous happens to/for P!nk, the win is out of reach, IMO. A nomination is very possible though.

Gdi! I wish I had been able to see the submission lists. I wonder if Leonard Cohen might get an Album of the Year nomination? I should have mentioned that in my blog post. Too late to edit now.

I think Jason Mraz "I won't give up" and Muford & Son "I will wait" will both be nominated in Record and Song.

I think Truth About Love is possible since it's been a relatively sparse year for females and pop music - for the latter, no eligible album has had 2 #1 songs. Pink's had multiple Pop Album noms. And the only possible other females I can think of are, like, Miranda and Florence.
Right now the obvious 4 (the only ones with lots of sales, lots of acclaim, or a good mix of both) are Black Keys, Drake, Mumford, and Frank. Doesn't necessarily mean I'm 100% about them, though, given how Kanye + Taylor simultaneously missed recently.

I can't help but feel like we'll be in for a real curveball with the big four nominees tomorrow night. Kind of like how we were last year with Loud and the year before with Teenage Dream...

Well they weren't hugely shocking since with the especial focus on hits/ratings in recent years albums with meh reviews but multiple #1s have flown into AOTY. It's why I'm dreading the possibility of Overexposed.

what a sausage fest this year. They couldn't even get Carly Rae Jepsen or Ellie Goulding? Hell, even Lana Del Rey could've added some female flair to the lineup.
At least they're all good male performers, so I shouldn't be complaining too much.

I'm going to be so presssed if Florence doesn't get acknowledged in some form. Ceremonials is one of the best of the past nomination period.

There's a lot of Country presence at the show this year. Hell, they even moved it to Nashville. I wonder if Country may have a more dominant hand in the race this year than we were originally expecting? *wishful thinking on behalf of Carrie* Well they weren't hugely shocking since with the especial focus on hits/ratings in recent years albums with meh reviews but multiple #1s have flown into AOTY. It's why I'm dreading the possibility of Overexposed. True, but there were much more critically acclaimed albums that experienced decent commercial success (less than Rih's and KP's, of course) that many probably expected to slip in there, though. Oh, well. I'll gag if M5 gets an AOTY nod. Overexposed isn't even their best effort, and I'd hate to see it grab a nomination over many, many other commercially-successful albums from this past year (Pink, Bieber, fun., Carrie).

I think they are just trying to capture the "Country" buzz, as most of the country award shows are highly viewed. Plus taylor as a host should bring in viewers

Please, God, let Ellie be nominated. She deserves a win, but I at least demand a nomination for Best New Artist.
