Heute Abend (10.02.) gehen die Grammys über die Bühne. Lange stand in den Sternen, ob die Gala wie geplant stattfinden kann, die streikenden Drehbuchautoren entschieden sich aber, die Grammys von ihrem Arbeitskampf auszunehmen. Der rote Teppich wird heute Abend also voll von Stars sein. Die größten Hoffnungen auf einen Award können sich übrigens Kanye West und Amy Winehouse machen. Der Rapper könnte in acht Kategorien als Sieger hervorgehen. Amy Winehouse wurde ganze sechs Mal vorgeschlagen. Und auch Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado und Timbaland können sich Hoffnungen machen. Genauso geht es Fergie, Corinne Bailey Rae und John Mayer.
