Grammy noms: Sparro, GaGa, Kylie, Robyn, Rufus and Lauper!

Normally when the Recording Academy releases their annual nominations, I quickly scan the list and then close the page with a slightly longer yawn than when I stay up past bedtime. However, this year, it looks like some of the artists we've loved and supported here at Gay.com are actually getting recognized!

M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes" and "Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis are in the running for Record Of The Year.

"American Boy" by Estelle & Kanye somehow slipped into the group for Song Of The Year nomination.

Rufus Wainwright's uber-gay "Rufus Does Judy At Carnegie Hall" tops the Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album category.

Best Dance Recording has a gorgeous line up:

"Harder Better Faster Stronger" - Daft Punk

"Ready For The Floor" - Hot Chip

"Just Dance" - Lady GaGa

"Give It 2 Me" - Madonna

"Disturbia" - Rihanna

"Black & Gold" - Sam Sparro

Best Electronic/Dance Album is equally exciting:

"New York City" - Brazilian Girls

"Alive 2007" - Daft Punk

"Bring Ya To The Brink" - Cyndi Lauper

"X" - Kylie Minogue

"Last Night" - Moby

"Robyn" - Robyn

It's too bad that Hercules and Love Affair, The Presets, Morgan Page and Kaskade were overlooked. They would have been worthy additions for either Dance category.

Anyhow, you can view the full list of Grammy nominations here.
