Nic’s Grammy Picks

The Grammys are this Sunday evening on CBS.  If you were thinking about making some Grammy bets, I’ve got your picks right here!  (We can make anything into a friendly wager!)

I’m thinking about having a small Grammy party at my house Sunday night; if you can find me, you can come.  Don’t find me, that would be creepy.  I hate betting with money (because I always lose), so I’m just going to SAY who I’m betting will win.  That means whoever I list will most likely lose.

Here are the losers for the 2011 Grammys:
