予想。
いよいよグラミー賞の発表が迫った。恒例の予想をお送りする。今年のグラミーは2月13日（日曜＝日本時間14日午前10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。
今年の最大の話題はレイ・チャールズ。おそらく、「レイ・チャールズのグラミー」ということで記憶されることになるだろう。レイ・チャールズ関連作品は１０のノミネート。最大９部門まで獲得できる。その他、アッシャー、アリシア・キーズ、カニエ・ウェストなどがどのあたりまで獲得できるか。
予想パート１は、主要4部門とポップで10部門、R&Bとラップで13部門、計27部門。明日は、ジャズ、ゴスペル、その他の部門。
ちなみに、2003年度は47部門で予想し、本命で20部門、対抗で14部門、計34部門（.723）の結果だった。（昨年の予想は2003年2月2日付け、3日付け日記、結果は2月9日、10日付け日記） 今年も本命で4割、対抗で3割の計7割を狙う。
