Grammy Nominations Honor Film/TV/Stage

Oscar this, Golden Globe that… but what about the Grammys? The nominations, announced this week, include several categories dedicated to recognizing music in film, TV, and the stage. Amy Winehouse & Kanye West may be dominating the main pop awards, but don’t be surprised if there’s some Grammy wins for Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova. Are some of these nominations a preview to the Academy Awards? Well, somewhat, because different deadline dates apply (hence the love for Dreamgirls). Check it out:
