Fergie, Akon, and Taylor Swift may have been out early this morning to announce the 2008 Grammy Award Nominations, but it was Kanye and Amy Winehouse who walked away with the most nods. Check out the full list of nominees here!
After a difficult month, hopefully Kanye woke up to a smile seeing his eight nominations including Album of the Year, Rap Song of the Year, and Rap Album of the Year. I'm guessing he won't walk away empty handed, but even so he has probably gained a little perspective and won't be in any hissy fits anytime soon. Amy Winehouse also made quite the splash with six nods including Album of the Year and Best New Artist along with Record of the Year and Song of the Year for "Rehab." Fergie and Taylor each got one nomination while Akon walked away with a handful for himself (despite his year of controversy).
The 50th Annual Grammy Awards air Feb. 10. Congratulations to all the nominees!

woohoo: kanye
1the grammys are lame
2I hope Winehouse doesn't perform at the Grammys.
3Poor Amy...
4The Grammys are a joke.
5Great. When Kanye doesn't win, do we have to hear another whine about how it's because he's black?
6The grammys are a joke and so is the music they call music.
7So much for not encouraging Amy Winehouse's self-destructive behavior. Doesn't she now go onstage drunk or high, forget her own lyrics and spit and curse out her fans? Can't wait to see her performance at the Grammies.
8Oops, I can't believe I wrote Grammies. LOL!!
9Kanye's Graduation is truly a GREAT album, as is Amy Winehouse'. But, how is Amy Winehouse classified as a "New Artist", when she has had a full-length album (Frank) released 4 years ago?...making up their own rules, I see.
10Despite that Amy Winehouse is a Drug Induced Mess that album Back to Black is amazing. The lyrics are so raw and really capture the Pain of being in Love. It's really sad and disturbing that her addictions have taken over the talent she has. Just like Billie Holiday. Lady sings the Blues.
11I do love Amy!
12I love Kanye's album and I rather he get a nomination than Brit.
13The Grammys ARE a joke.
14Yeah, Kanye has a huge ego but he's THAT good. They just always pass on him for God knows what reason. Maybe he think it's a conspiracy, it could be. He's always on top of the game, ever since he started. He just wants recognition. Who doesn't? Maybe it's more important to him than others but I can't completely hate someone who speaks their mind and challenges stuff. At least he's not self-destructive, he just gets better and better and they can't deny it, that's why he gets Grammy nods. I, too, think the Grammys suck ass but it means something to the people who work hard doing what they love to do. I'm really not Kanye fan but I can't deny that he knows what he doing and I usually like his singles.
15Why in the world is Nelly Furtado nominated for best Pop Vocal Performance for "Say it Right"?????
The song might have been slightly catchy, but she just talks in a croaky voice through out it. That is an award for the vocal performance, not the song writing, so I think the nomination is so uncalled for. So many other songs should have been nominated in it's place.
16A Grammy is worth less than nothing when people like Fergie and Akon are nominated.
17Love Kanye, Fergie and Amy... Only Amy's music, not her life choices.
18hope amy gets her act together the press should leave her alone so she can get her life sorted out in peace.
19kanye west has such a big EGO!!!he needs to come back down to earth
I'm surprised-She is wasted most of the time.
20Nominations aren't based on personal life. I'm not sure what the basis is though, because Akon...seriously...he gets nominated and there are hundreds of better R&B albums put out, but I guess commercial (read as crossover) success = grammy nod.
21Does anyone else think fergie looks ridiculously small next to taylor swift? Is she that short and taylor that tall?
22Taylor Swift is like 5'11 and still growing so she's tall. And I think Fergie is between 5'2 and and 5'4.
23I love Taylor Swift...she's adorable...and yes she's hella tall and thin
24i'm kinda rooting for Kanye to finally win something...he deserves it..as arrogant as he is...
25Yay Maroon 5 on their Grammy Noms!!!!
26I can't stand Akon. Completely overrated. Fergie is quite irritating also.
27party like a rockstar is such an annoying song.
28blah blah blah.
29every award show she's been at, someone always puts taylor next to someone really short!!
30I love Taylor Swift! Yeah, she looks insanely tall next to Fergie, who looks particularly un-hot my comparison
31I would really love to see Feist pick up an award. Her competition is strong, though.
