Record of the Year :

"We Belong Together"

Mariah Carey

"Feel Good Inc."

Gorillaz Featuring De La Soul

"Boulevard Of Broken Dreams"

Green Day

"Hollaback Girl"

Gwen Stefani

"Gold Digger"

Kanye West

Dustin's Picks

When Gwen Stefani's album came out, I was so struck by that song's awfulness that I would play the song for others for the sole purpose of making fun of it. Should Win: Gorillaz for an offbeat song that manages to mix a lot of different elements together.

Will Win: Look for Green Day to get an award to acknowledge their successful song, "Boulevard of Broken Dreams."

Julie's Picks

"Hollaback Girl" and "Gold Digger" provide a great club atmosphere, but I wouldn't say they could stand alone as a Grammy Award-winning record.

Should Win: Gorillaz's "Feel Good Inc." with its infectious beat and unique lyrics.

Will Win: Green Day will probably come out with the win with "Boulevard of Broken Dreams." What award hasn't the band won with that album?

Laura's Picks

For this award, I think it will be a race between Gorillaz, Kanye West and Green Day. Despite being a self-admitted huge No Doubt fan, even the Neptunes producer Pharrell couldn't save "Hollaback Girl."

Should Win: Gorillaz's "Feel Good Inc." is a great dance song, even if the band is made of cartoons.

Will Win: Green Day. They got robbed back in 1995.

Paul's Picks

Why isn't there a Mike Jones song on this entire list? Let me clue you in on a little secret: These weren't the five best songs of last year.

Should Win: If there were a song with a stickier hook than "Golddigger" last year, it sure ain't on this list. Although somebody involved in the popularity of "Hollaback Girl" deserves some kind of accolade.

Will Win: That wretched, repetitive Green Day track, I guess. Or, if not, it's Mariah all the way.

Album of the Year:

The Emancipation Of Mimi

Mariah Carey

Chaos And Creation In The Backyard

Paul McCartney

Love. Angel. Music. Baby.

Gwen Stefani

How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb

U2

Late Registration

Kanye West

Dustin's Picks

Once again, Gwen's nomination is a joke. The Grammys pull their classic "let's praise an irrelevant album by an over-the-hill musician" move with the Paul McCartney nomination.

Mariah hasn't won a Grammy since 1990.

Will Win: Kanye has an off chance, but look for U2 to pick it up.

Julie's Picks

The two heavyweights in this category, U2 and Kanye West, are from completely different genres.

Should and Will Win: Despite U2's long-lived musical success, this year's Grammy for Album of the Year will most likely be awarded to Kanye West.

Laura's Picks

The ones to watch for are veterans U2 and McCartney. Kanye's album has a fighting chance, but this album isn't as strong as his debut album, The College Dropout.

As for Mariah, she's hardly on fire with only one memorable single off Emancipation of Mimi.

Should Win: Despite Chaos And Creation In The Backyard not being McCartney's crowning jewel of his musical body of work, he is a living legend and has not won a Grammy for an album as a solo artist.

Will Win: Media darlings U2.

Paul's Picks

U2 was never all that good, and the group is sure way worse now. I haven't heard the Mariah album, but it has "Shake It Off" on it, so it can't possibly be very good. Gwen is cute and all, but my goodness, have you heard that song about driving into her woman parts? And, well, if The Beatles didn't win Best Album for Abbey Road (and they didn't), Sir Paul shouldn't win for that tripe.

That only leaves us with one remaining nominee in this category.

Should and Will Win: Kanye because, well, see above.

Song of the Year (songwriter's award):

"Bless The Broken Road"

Bobby Boyd, Jeff Hanna & Marcus Humon,

songwriters (Rascal Flatts)

"Devils & Dust"

Bruce Springsteen, songwriter (Bruce

Springsteen)

"Ordinary People"

W. Adams & J. Stephens, songwriters (John

Legend)

"Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your

Own"

U2, songwriters (U2)

"We Belong Together"

J. Austin, M. Carey, J. Dupri & M. Seal,

Dustin's Picks

Most of the nominees are pretty sappy tunes. Bruce has the advantage of not having a cliché song but has the disadvantage of sounding like a new songwriter doing his Bruce Springsteen impression.

Should Win: The oddball is Rascal Flatts, which is one of the scant country nominations that never actually wins.

Will Win: Soft songs and ballads often clean up in this category, so U2 could pick this one up as well.

Julie's Picks

Should and Will Win: John Legend's "Ordinary People" seems to be slightly above the rest. It is progressive and soulful and is my pick.

Laura's Picks

Country has gone mainstream and certainly has grown in popularity recently, but the academy doesn't want to be responsible for sending Mimi (Carey) into another nervous breakdown.

Should Win: New artist John Legend with his amazingly poignant "Ordinary People."

His simple piano and powerful pipes transcend your usual R & B tune.

Will Win: The multi-octave sensation Mariah with "We Belong Together."

Paul's Picks

This is a songwriter's award, and yet, past winners include John Mayer and Rob Thomas. Go figure! Still, you've got to hand it to the Grammys for picking five of the most mundane tunes of the year and then expecting people to pick between 'em.

Should Win: Mariah's "We Belong Together," since writing a song that complicated for Mariah, which she actually pulled off, is worth at least a Grammy.

Will Win: Springsteen's "Devils & Dust," a pretty unexceptional track for the grizzled Jersey boy, but then again, Grammy loves the old folks -- although I still think Mariah may have a chance.

Best New Artist:

Dustin's Picks

I don't care, as long as it's not Fall Out Boy. For years I've been prophesizing that pop-punk and emo were slowly merging into one intolerable genre.

Will and Should Win: The number of nominations for John Legend's "Ordinary People" points to a win.

Julie's picks

It's a tight, three-way race between Keane, John Legend and Sugarland. This choice is a tough one.

Should and Will Win: With insightful lyrics and a melodic sound, the Best New Artist is Keane.

Laura's Picks

As much as I like to do the one-two step, I don't think Ciara will be making her way to the podium. It's a tie between Keane and Kanye's buddy John Legend.

Will Win and Should Win: Keane.

Paul's Picks

Bear in mind that whoever wins this is about 99 percent sure to never have another hit. Oh, Black Eyed Peas, where are you when I need you the most?

Should Win: Fall Out Boy, for in a year of stupid songs, this band's were the catchiest.

Will Win: I'd be pretty bummed if legitimately promising talents like John Legend or Ciara caught the "best new artist" flu, so I'm gonna say Sugarland, just because I don't think I'd miss them if they went away.
