It about time! I'm pretty sure she'll put on a show stopper!

It's about time! Soror A.Keys has two nods as well

[TheEpitome1920]

Why is Jay-Z still being nominated for Awards??

I really hope Anthony Hamilton wins something...

[skywalker20_99]

I think it's a bit odd that Kanye West is nominated for best gospel artist. It would make more sense to me if he were nominated for gospel songsong. Oh well, let's see who wins!

I think that the commercial with Will, Jada and family is so funny. I didn't know that Will's son had grown up so much.
