The Grammy award nominations were announced Wednesday night, and Beyonce and Taylor Swift received the most nominations (no surprise there).

Beyonce leads the pack with 10 nominations, while Swift earned eight nominations. 

Other nominees include Carrie Underwood, The Black Eyed Peas, Martina McBride, George Strait, Jay-Z, Jamie Foxx, Trey Songz, T-Pain, Lady Gaga, Maxwell, Kings of Leon, Flo Rida, Keri Hilson, Pink, Katie Perry, Kelly Clarkson, U2, Coldplay, Green Day, Bon Jovi, T.I., Ciara, Justin Timberlake, Jason Mraz, Drake, Eminem, Fabolous, Beastie Boys, Kanye West, Rihanna, Ne-Yo, Kid Cudi, Lee Ann Woman, Keith Urban and Rascal Flatts.

Most notably absent from the list of nominees is rapper Lil Wayne.  He had a great year in 2009.  He dominated the music charts and radio airplay this year, and I’m surprised he wasn’t even nominated. 

The Grammys will air Jan. 31 on the CBS network.  Click here for a full list of categories and nominees.
