BURBANK, Calif. -- Nominations for the 51st Annual Grammy Awards won't be released until the end of the year, but we've got your preliminary look at what musical acts we at On The Download think will be nominated this year.

Why so early? The eligibility period for Grammy noms ended on August 31. Albums that were released between October 1, 2008 and August 31, 2009 are eligible to be nominated for the Grammy Awards taking place (earlier this year!) in January 2010. So we thought we'd get the ball rolling on the Grammy forecast.

    In my opinion the night as far as nods belong to Beyonce,Lady Gaga,of course Whitney,Black Eyed Peas, and Green Day. But as far as actualy wins Keri Hilson has Best New Artist if they are fair. Million Dollar Bill may win just because who wrote it. Although Ring was everywhere Boom Boom Pow was bigger. And when it comes to Grammy darlings it;s Taylor's year. Sorry.
