Lady Gaga Picture of the Day: Grammy Awards

"The 2010 race for Best New Artist at the Grammy Awards was blown wide open this week, as the recording academy announced that the sure lock to win the award, dance chanteuse Lady Gaga, would not be eligible.

Lady Gaga is not eligible for Best New Artist because she earned a Grammy nomination last year, when "Just Dance" appeared in the Dance Song category. That nomination was a bit suspect, because the song didn't become a hit until January of 2009, and the cutoff for the 2009 Grammy Awards was September of 2008."
