The 2011 Grammy Nominations

Idolator Staff | December 1, 2010 7:26 pm

The principal 2011 Grammy nominees were announced on the Grammy Nominations Concert Live telecast (with the rest of the categories revealed after the program), and Eminem seems to be in full “recovery” as he dominates this year with a total of 10 nods (including biggies Song, Record, Album and Rap Album Of The Year).

Bruno Mars scored seven nominations, for his featured vocals on B.o.B’s “Nothin’ On You”, writing credit on Cee Lo Green’s “F**k You”, his own hit “Just The Way You Are” and also Producer Of The Year (as part of the Smeezingtons). Just behind him are this year’s six-time nominees Lady Antebellum, Lady Gaga and Jay-Z.

Kudos also to La Roux, Robyn and Goldfrapp, for at least being recognized in the Dance categories, and Adam Lambert, for his Best Male Pop Vocal Performance nod. Check the list of 2011 Grammy nominees below and let us know which of these surprised you the most.
