are there really 347 nominees for best new artist?
661 nominations for record of the year?
etc

These are submissions for each category.  The artists' peers will vote and then the official nominees will be announced.

artists peers?
oh...wait..so we do not get a chance to vote?

Sorry to be Mrs. Pisser, but I can just see it now.....
Daughtry, Daughtry, Daughtry.

well....yeah....it will be. Glad some one said it. Like the elephant in the room.

and the only reason is because Taylor WAS NOT PROMOTED PROPERLY or GIVEN RADIO TIME. Yes I'm fully aware I used caps; it was intentional

Hey why is there no anger face here? I'm damn angry over this! However I feel we have beat this one to death with little or no measurable results...and frankly it's been a long day so I'll retreat quietly to the corner and hug the cat....after I wake up the unsuspecting creatures....

Daughtry can't be nominated for Best Pop Male Vocal because they are a band.

Does that make you feel a little better?

No It does not.

Daughtry can still be Album of the Year, Record of the Year and Artist of the Year...also male vocalist because he is a male vocalist. He is a very nice person, I've met him and do enjoy his music. I wish him all the best & all the success. So shoot me. It's not his fault that TPTB crapped all over Taylor.

Yes there really are that many.

I peeked at some of the lists on the link Amy provided.. the record companies must submit just about everything.

I added an argh smilie on the "get more" page, it looks like if anyone needs something like that.  

I wonder what ANY of the former Idols' chances are (other than Kelly) considering how many artists/albums/songs are on these submission lists. *sigh*
