I’ve always thought the Grammys are weird in how their eligibility process works. Basically, to compete for 2010, your stuff had to be out between October 2008 and August 2009. So that leaves that odd almost half-a-year gap, which explains why you have entries from the previous year mixed in with the current year. This always f*cks with my head’s obsessive compulsive year end list-making inclinations SO MUCH.
But in any case, who cares? I’m just happy that Bruce Springsteen is up for Best Song after being snubbed at the Oscars for his heart-tugging “The Wrestler”.
The 52nd Grammy Awards will air on January 31, 2010 in Los Angeles, CA. Check out the movie-related nods below.
