Who Scored 2007 Grammy Nominations? 
Friday, December 7th, 2007

The nominees for the 2007 Grammy Awards were announced yesterday.  Kanye West grabbed the most nominations with eight; Amy Winehouse received six nomations; the Foo Fighters, 5; Justin Timberlake, 5; and Rihanna, 4.

Kanye's "Graduation" album got nomatinated for Album of the Year.  In 2004, though, West scored even more nominations, with 10 shots att he trophy with his debut album "The College Dropout."  He got eight Grammy nominations again in 2005 for the album "Late Registration."  He lost each time, however, in the major categories.

Maybe his luck will change this year.
