And the nominees are...

This post is a little late as the majority of the committee has voted already, but I thought I should post the nominees for the 4th Annual Alex Awards. Kanye West got the most nominations this year, with 12, including 2 for Best Song. Both Timbaland and T-Pain were nominated 11 times. Justin Timberlake was nominated 10 times and Lil' Wayne 9 times. The top nominated female artists were Beyonce and Rihanna with 7 nominations each and the top nominated group was Danity Kane with 4. The top nominated song this year was "Rehab" by Amy Winehouse with 5 nominations, including Best Song.
