Grammy Awards 2011: nomination, Eminem su tutti

Nel corso del CBS Grammy Nominations Concert al Nokia Theatre di Los Angeles, sono state annunciate le nomination ufficiali per i Grammy Awards 2011. Lo scorso febbraio, per l’edizione 2010 dei Grammy Awards, la regina indiscussa degli Oscar della musica era stata Beyoncé con sei riconoscimenti, questa volta lo scettro di Re dei Grammy si sposta momentaneamente nelle mani del mitico rapper bianco Eminem che, grazie al clamoroso successo del suo ultimo album Recovery, ha racimolato ben 10 nomination. Riuscirà, fra poco più di due mesi, a tramutarle in altrettante prestigiose statuette?
