The nominations for the 53rd annual Grammy Awards have been announced, and I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you were once again unceremoniously snubbed. It seems the world remains unprepared for symphonic yodel-ska concept albums about individual episodes of Felicity. Better luck next year.
Meanwhile, many artists were ceremoniously not snubbed, like Lady Gaga, Lady Antebellum and, oh I don't know, Lady Foot Locker? To be honest, I didn't check the music nominees, because I'm old, and I know my place, and my place is the Comedy and Spoken word categories. Take a look:
