Grammy Awards Preview

Beyonce, up for 10 Grammy nominations.

The 52nd Annual Grammy Awards will take place Sunday night. It should prove to be a star-studded evening. Highlights will include Neil Young, who will be honored as the 2010 MusiCares Person of the Year. There will be a tribute to Michael Jackson, including a 3D mini movie and a Lifetime Achievement Award. Also receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award will be Leonard Cohen, Bobby Darin, David "Honeyboy" Edwards, Loretta Lynn, Andre Previn, and Clark Terry.

And then, of course, are the awards themselves. Beyoncé leads the nominees with ten nominations. Other top nominees include Taylor Swift with eight and Black Eyed Peas, Maxwell, Kanye West with six nominations, and David Guetta, Jay-Z and Lady Gaga with five nominations. Colbie Caillat, Kings of Leon, Bruce Springsteen, T-Pain, and Keith Urban each received four nominations.

There is a long list of performers, ranging from Bon Jovi to Eminem, Elton John to Slash. An equally impressive list of presenters has been confirmed, including Robert Downey Jr., Stephen Colbert, the Jonas Brothers, and Quentin Tarantino.

The real question remains: what crazy stunt will Kanye West try to pull off this time?
