alternative music album -- TORI, BJORK, coldplay, fatboy slim, RADIOHEAD. [i hope fatboy slim doesnt win. coldplay wouldnt bother me too badly]
best new artist -- indie arie, nelly furtado, david gray, alicia keys, linkin park [i hope linkin park doesnt win. alicia keys wouldnt bother me too badly but you know shes gonna win.]
best soundtrack -- bridget jones's diary, moulin rouge!, o brother, where art thou?, shrek, the sopranos. [i liked all those movies. except the sopranos which i never saw thank god. so i wont mind if they win. but the best soundtrack wise is moulin rouge and i LOVE that movie so yeah.]

radiohead was also nominated for 'best recording package' but i dont know what that means. dave matthews band (space between) was nominated for 'best vocal rock performance by group' and btw the category is ALL men. ryan adams (x_x) is nominated for 'best male rock vocal performance' doing 'new york, new york' which is a song i dont like. but you know. at least hes slightly unknown. AAHAHAHHA and he's nominated for 'best male country vocal' which is more appropriate i would say. ahghhaha. but holy shit you KNOW he's not gonna win because he's up against johnny cash, lyle lovett, tim cgraw, willie nelson, and some other guy. well at least he can say he was nominated.
i hope enya wins for new age.
'best rock song' is ALL men, as usual. u2 was nominated twice there. and coldplay, train, and aerosmith. whats with all the same people. it sucks. indie arie was nominated for quite a few things and i liked her single/video so.
i've haven't heard ANY of the songs nominated for pop vocal performance. except for like. REM.
HAHAAHAHAHS Holy shit daft punk was nominated. for SEVERAL things.
the music video nominations suck ass. where are MY favorite damn music videos. flushed away down the toliet, let me tell you.

and of course my favorite album of 2001 ('sunny border blue' by kristin hersh) was not nominated.
sad day. but! you can still download such classics from the album as "ruby" and "your dirty answer" so you should thereby enjoy them. oh or you could always listen to "echo" which isn't from this album but its still good.
