Eminem Receives 10 Grammy Nods, Bruno Mars, 7 and Jay-Z, 6

Eminem topped the Grammy nominations with a hot 10 nods when the honors for the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards were announced on December 1st.

Jay-Z and Lady Gaga garnered six nomination each with newcomer Bruno Mars snatching up seven.

Eminem's distinctions included the coveted best album nomination for his top-selling opus "Recovery".

Oddly, Bruno Mars' solo album "Doo-Wops & Hooligans" was not included in the honors, but he was due to his collaborative work with B.o.B., Cee-Lo and others. The Roots and Cee-Lo also received four nominations for their critically acclaimed works.
