It's that time of year again; a time when memories of Tony Bennett winning Album of the Year for an unplugged album, Jethro Tull grabbing the award for Best Heavy Metal Performance and Milli Vanilli receiving (and returning) their Best New Artist mantelpieces give me a nasty case of diverticulitus. Yup, it's Grammy time.

At this point I've sat through and reported on too many of these shows to count, and have groaned and guffawed at every misstep the show and the voters (a-k-a, the Recording Academy) have made over the past two decades. I'll admit that the past few years have been a bit more bearable because of the mysterious blue-ribbon, double-secret probation panel that makes the final choices in the top four categories (Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best New Artist) after reviewing the top 20 vote getters in each. But just like knowing that the new Kevin Costner film sucks, it's relatively easy to predict what the academy old-timers will vote for. So here are Wax Buildup's predictions for 10 major categories. Make sure to come back the day after the Grammys where we'll either gloat or be very gloomy about our psychic abilities.
