No remixing nominations (I thought they might get one for the Madonna mix), but E-Smoove got a nod.

I've said this in this discussion before, and I am gratified that I think I am right, that the only benefit that the PSBs really have in being with Rhino in the US is that Rhino gets Grammy attention, and a Grammy nod, or performance, or win gives some exposure--especially since the categories have a couple household names in the US.

Just my thoughts.

SexyBack will win the Dance Recording award, I'm afraid.

And the Dance Album award will most probably go to Madonna.

Madonna would have to be odds on favourite for both of those... thanks more to Stuart Price than Madonna herself, but that's the way it goes.

Retro. :)

Nice to see PSB nominated, but I think it's highly unlikely they will win. SexyBack wil easily beat the other nominees, and I expect Madonna to win that album category.

I know, it is sad to say that they probably won't win. If they were in England they would win.

I think the fact that they nominated "Get Together" instead of "Hung Up", the album's only hit in America, says that Justin is more the lock....then again, they might spilt the vote and enough PSB fans will get them in! I'm hoping! Madonna is more the lock for album, though.

Great to be nominated! But def Timberlake for single and Madonna for album.
Nice to see some recognition for a lot of hard work.
