The Grammy Nominations were announced Wednesday night and the evening's two big surprises were….
Lil Wayne leading the field with noms and Katy Perry getting robbed!
With more nominations than anyone, Wayne scored eight noms, followed by Coldplay with seven, and Jay-Z, Ne-Yo and Kanye West each earned six nods.
Despite having one of the biggest worldwide hits of the year, Katy Perry was shut out of all categories except Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
She wasn't even nominated for Best New Artist, yet the Jonas Brothers were. That's just wrong!
We love the Jonai but they just released their THIRD album and really broke to prominence in 2007. They should NOT have been nominated!
While Katy got close to no love from the Grammys this year, several others of our faves did get lots of noms and affection.
Adele scored four nominations! They are Best New Artist, as well as Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, Record of the Year and Song of the Year for Chasing Pavements.
Leoan Lewis got three noms - Best Pop Vocal Album for her debut, Spirit and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Record of the Year for Bleeding Love.
Rihanna also scored three nods - in the Best Dance Recording category for Disturbia, in the Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals category, If I Never See Your Face Again with Maroon 5, and in the Best Long Form Music Video category for Good Girl Gone Bad: Live
Madonna and Lady Gaga are both vying for Best Dance Recording, for Give It To Me and Just Dance, respectively.
Madonna is also nominated in the Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals category for her duet with Justin Timberlake, 4 Minutes.
