The nominees for the 2011 Grammy Awards were announced in a fabulous concert at the Club Nokia in LA the other day. There were a couple of surprises and questionable names on the list. But one thing is clear — Eminem has enjoyed quite a big year with his ten nominations.

The second name that came up on most of the categories is Bruno Mars, whose song, “Just The Way You Are” has been played over and over in radio stations and has been covered on the hit show, Glee.

Teen star Justin Beiber is also a nominee for New Artist and will compete with Lady Gaga and Susan Boyle in another category.

The Grammy winners will be announced on February 13, 2011 and the complete list of nominees come after the cut.
