Eminem, Cee Lo Green and Katy Perry were among the nominees for the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards — “music’s biggest night!” — announced live on CBS on Wednesday.
Eminem grabbed 10 nominations in all, including nods for Song and Record of the Year (both for “Love the Way You Lie,” featuring Rihanna) and Album of the Year ("Recovery").
The Detroit-based rapper has lost the best-album race twice before, but "Recovery," which has sold more than 3 million copies to date, is an early favorite in that category.
Cee Lo picked an early nomination for Song of the Year for his viral smash, "F*** You," and another, later, for Record of the Year.
Justin Bieber was nominated for Best New Artist, an award he figures to be a lock to win.
Album of the Year nominee Perry, who performed during the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on Tuesday (also on CBS), opened the show with an outdoor performance of "California Gurls" at the L.A. Live Plaza outside Club Nokia.
The Roots — the Philadelphia-based hip-hop group that also serves as the house band for "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" — received five nominations, four for backing John Legend's "Wake Up," and one for "How I Got Over."
It's the third time nominees have been announced on live television. Like last year, the show was hosted by L.L. Cool J, a two-time Grammy winner whose last one came in 1996.
The winners will be unveiled live from Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, Feb. 13 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
