Grammy Nominations:

ノミネーション。
第47回グラミー賞のノミネートが発表された。授賞式は2005年2月13日、日曜東部時間午後8時からロス・アンジェルスのステイプル・センターで行われる。カニエ・ウェストが10部門、またレイ・チャールズが7部門でノミネートされている。詳細の予想はまた後日。
ひとつ不思議に思ったのは、候補となる作品の発売期間が今年の9月末日までにもかかわらず、10月末に発売されたロッド・スチュワートの『グレイト・アメリカン・ソングブック』がノミネートされている点。個人的にはロッドに、初グラミーを取って欲しいが。今年はトータル１０７のカテゴリーで受賞者が決定する。
全米中継はCBSが行う。8時からの生放送は東部では生で流れるが、西部では3時間遅れで録画中継される。
