今年もこの季節がやってきた。
51th Grammy Awards
来る２月８日（日本時間は２月９日）。
ロサンゼルスのステープルセンターにて開催される。
５１回目を数える今回のグラミー賞は２００７年の１０月１日から２００８年の９月３０日までにリリースされた作品が対象。
グラミー賞の歴史は１９５８年からと古く、音楽業界で最も栄誉ある賞とされている。（ちなみに正式名称は「NARASアチーブメント・アワーズ」。受賞者にグラモフォン（蓄音機）の形をしたトロフィーが贈られることからグラミー賞って呼ばれるようになったとさ。）
ポイントは何と言っても純粋に優れた作品を創り上げたクリエイターの業績を誉めたたえるという点。つまりレコードセールスが良いからといって確実にノミネートされるわけではない。今回の第５１回の特徴としてはイギリス出身アーティストのノミネートが多いところ。どうしてもアメリカ出身のアーティストがノミネートされる傾向が強い中、イギリスがんばってます。UK LOVERとしては嬉しい限り
さぁ、そんなグラミー賞を目前に控えて、今回tommy-musicやっちゃいます。
