The nominations for the 50th Grammy Awards have been announced, with Kanye West and Amy Winehouse leading the field, with 8 and 6 nominations respectively. Closely following them are Foo Fighters, Jay-Z, Timbaland, T-Pain and Justin Timberlake, all of whom received 5 nominations.

And before you ask, Song Of The Year is for the songwriting, Record Of The Year is for the overall finished release. Do you see?
