The Lucky Ones

Kanye West may be leading the pack with six nominations (including Best Album), but it's the women that are stealing his thunder. Despite being England's version of Britney (albeit, one with actual talent), Amy Winehouse followed closely with five (I guess she didn't have a hand in writing her smash Rehab, otherwise she'd have six) and Feist earned three (including Best New Artist, as expected). Here are the nominees for what I consider the main awards:
