    Mariah Carey, Kanye West and John Legend lead the list of nominees for the 48th Annual Grammy Awards with eight nods each. Carey's multi-platinum comeback album, The Emancipation of Mimi, helped her score nominations for the Grammy's most coveted awards: Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Record of the Year.

    Mariah is also up for Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance (for "Mine Again"), Best R&B Song (Carey with J. Austin, Jermaine Dupri and Manuel Seal for "We Belong Together"), Best Female R&B Vocal Performance (for "We Belong Together"), Best Female Pop Vocal Performance ("It's Like That") and Best Contemporary R&B Album.

    Gwen Stefani's first studio effort sans No Doubt, Love, Angel, Music, Baby, stands in the way of Carey's Album of the Year win. Both women will vie for that prize at the February 8 ceremony, which will air live from Los Angeles' Staples Center Arena. But Mariah and Gwen face tough competition from three other Album of the Year hopefuls: Paul McCartney's Chaos and Creation in the Backyard; U2's How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb; and Kanye West's Late Registration (see "Kanye's At It Again: 'If I Don't Win Album Of The Year I'm Gonna Have A Problem' ").

    Stefani and Mariah will contend with Kelly Clarkson ("Since U Been Gone"), Sheryl Crow ("Good Is Good") and Bonnie Raitt ("I Will Not Be Broken") in the Best Female Pop Vocal Performance category.

    West's "Gold Digger" is also up for Record of the Year, along with "Feel Good Inc." by the Gorillaz, "Hollaback Girl" by Stefani and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Green Day. Like Carey, U2 scored a nod for Song of the Year (for "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own"), along with Rascal Flatts' "Bless the Broken Road," Bruce Springsteen's "Devils & Dust" and John Legend's "Ordinary People."

    Legend's eight nods include Best New Artist (nominated along with Ciara, Fall Out Boy, Keane and Sugarland), Best R&B Song (for "So High"), Best Traditional R&B Performance and Best R&B Album. 50 Cent and Kanye West were both nominated for Best Rap Solo Performance (West for "Gold Digger" and 50 for "Disco Inferno"). 50 is also up for Best Rap Song (for "Candy Shop" and "Hate It or Love It") as is West (for "Diamonds From Sierra Leone").

    The Black Eyed Peas are up for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group and Best Rap Song, while Gwen Stefani and Ciara are both in the running for Best Rap Song (Collaboration): Stefani for "Rich Girl," featuring Eve, and Ciara for "1, 2 Step" with Missy Elliott. Other nominations in that category include Common's "They Say" featuring West and Legend, Destiny's Child's "Soldier," featuring T.I. and Lil' Wayne, and Jay-Z and Linkin Park's "Numb/ Encore."

    Coldplay's "Speed of Sound" was nominated for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocal, alongside "Best of You" by the Foo Fighters, "Do You Want To" by Franz Ferdinand, "All These Things That I've Done" by The Killers and "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own" by U2.

    I like most of the nominees. The White Stripes deserve some of these awards, as does the Gorillaz.

    I disagree with a lot of the pop nominations, but what the hell, they can nominate who they want, I'm not protesting. I like most of the rock/metal/hard rock nominees, so good luck to them.

    Nine Inch Nails won't win, even though The Hand That Feeds, despite me not wanting to like it, is an awesome song.

    And it's Anti-Bush, so it won't win.
