And now, I present my fourth annual presentation of my predictions for the Grammys. Check out how I did in 2002 and and last year, why don't you. This year, they're listed by both who I want to win and who I actually predict will win. I'll come back shortly after the Grammys and mark what was right, and what was wrong.
