2008 Grammys Ready For Lift Off

Posted at February 10, 2008 | No Comments

Early arrivals for the 50th annual Grammy Awards ceremony are currently getting underway at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. And while the arena may be best known for the basketball played there by the Los Angeles Lakers, tonight, the world’s brightest musicians will rock the stage.

This particular award ceremony always tends to bring out the biggest players in Hollywood. Regardless of whether or not a celebrity is a musician, they still want to be associated with the music industry’s top award show. One can expect the red carpet to be glittered with clothes from the hottest designers, and diamonds worth more than the average home.

Some of the artists selected to perform at the Grammy’s this year include Kanye West, John Mayer, Amy Winehouse, and BeBe Winans. Kanye is leading all nominees with a grand total of eight nominations, and is expect to clean up tonight.

At the other end of the spectrum, there’s Amy Winehouse. Still in rehab and reeling from a non-stop streak of bad publicity, Winehouse is really looking to try and make her performance tonight a sign that she still has what it takes to entertain the masses.

The award show will be broadcast in HDTV on CBS tonight from 8 – 11:30 pm (EST). To catch some of the red carpet arrivals, try tuning in around 7 o’clock to be safe.
