The nominees are in and it looks like a few names will be recurring in next year's awarding proper. Fans cannot wait for the obvious winners to come out and dramatic unexpected results to commence. Remember Esmeralda Spalding's upset over Justin Bieber? What about the laughable outrage over the musical credibility of Arcade Fire? But more importantly with last Grammy's egg costume/art piece/brouhaha behind her, what will Lady Gaga go as this year?
