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:
