This is more or less the same contest as I ran in 2005 and 2004, which was a direct rip-off of CubedBee's Oscar contest (now property of SSH?). There's way too many categories to pick them all, so we're mostly picking the "big ones" with a few exceptions mixed in... Of the awards that aren't handed out on the main telecast, I believe they are announced during the preshow (and will be named on the Grammy website)... so we'll make the deadline for entries at 5PM eastern on Grammy Day, February 8th... You can edit your picks as many times as you would like, provided the last edit is before the deadline. Don't PM me your picks, post them here and increase your post count. (In the event of a tie based on points, the earlier entry will win.)
The offical scoring will be: Album of the Year: 3 points Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best New Artist: 2 points Other Categories: 1 point Album of the Year The Emancipation Of Mimi, Mariah Carey Chaos And Creation In The Backyard, Paul McCartney Love. Angel. Music. Baby., Gwen Stefani How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, U2 Late Registration, Kanye West Record of the Year "We Belong Together", Mariah Carey "Feel Good Inc.", Gorillaz Featuring De La Soul "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams", Green Day "Hollaback Girl, Gwen Stefani "Gold Digger", Kanye West Song of the Year "Bless The Broken Road", Rascal Flatts "Devils & Dust", Bruce Springsteen "Ordinary People", John Legend "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own", U2 "We Belong Together", Mariah Carey Best New Artist Ciara Fall Out Boy Keane John Legend SugarLand Best Female Pop Vocal Performance "It's Like That", Mariah Carey "Since U Been Gone", Kelly Clarkson "Good Is Good", Sheryl Crow "I Will Not Be Broken", Bonnie Raitt "Hollaback Girl", Gwen Stefani Best Male Pop Vocal Performance "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing", Jack Johnson "Fine Line", Paul McCartney "Walk On By", Seal "Lonely No More", Rob Thomas "From The Bottom Of My Heart", Stevie Wonder Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal "Don't Lie", The Black Eyed Peas "Mr. Brightside", The Killers "More Than Love", Los Lonely Boys "This Love", Maroon 5 "My Doorbell", The White Stripes Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals "Gone Going", The Black Eyed Peas & Jack Johnson "Virginia Moon", Foo Fighters Featuring Norah Jones "Feel Good Inc.", Gorillaz Featuring De La Soul "A Song For You", Herbie Hancock Featuring Christina Aguilera "A Time To Love", Stevie Wonder Featuring India.Arie Best Pop Vocal Album Extraordinary Machine, Fiona Apple Breakaway, Kelly Clarkson Wildflower, Sheryl Crow Chaos And Creation In The Backyard, Paul McCartney Love.
