51st Annual Grammy Awards Announced: Lil Wayne, Radiohead, Rihanna, Daft Punk, etc.

The 51st Grammy Award nominations are in -- and are quite interesting. No, really. The entire list is here, but some highlights. And no, a highlight is not Paul McCartney earning a nomination for "I Saw Her Standing There." REALLY? Or Ministry earning a nod for a Stones cover of "Under My Thumb" -- in Best Metal category. Um. Props to Justice for getting a nomination for its MGMT remix, though.
