Dave Grohl and Selena Gomez announce the nominees for Song of the Year

December 1, 2010

For the third year in a row, the Grammy Awards threw a nationally televised party to announce this year's nominees for the coveted golden gramophones. LL Cool J returned as host, presenting the nominations with the help Disney star Selena Gomez, Paramore's Hayley Williams, Stevie Wonder and Dave Grohl. Oh, and Craig Ferguson (it's a CBS thing). The evening also featured performances by Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Miranda Lambert and B.o.B—but, really, everyone seemed more excited about Justin Bieber checking in from London via satellite to express his appreciation for his Best New Artist nomination.
