Grammy Award Predictions

The 51st annual Grammy Awards are tonight (8pm on CBS). Me and a friend over at Harris Truth, have played a game to guess which artist, song or band would win each award over the past couple of years (and this year is no different). Usually we stick to the awards we have at least some idea of, a list which has been recreated (and abbreviated) below. Today, before the show, I've made my decisions and expect another post in the next couple of days with reactions to the Grammy’s and the awards.
blue = who I think will win
orange = who I want to win
