Now that Al has his first Top 10 album and song, what are the chances that he will be nominated in the major catogories?
Album of the Year: Straight Outta Lynwood
Song of the Year: White & Nerdy
Record of the Year: White & Nerdy
He's obviously going to win best Comedy Album and maybe he'll win an award for some music video category.

This topic would be better served in the Media Al section, wouldn't it? Mods?
I think this cd has a very good chance at being nominated in all those categories, though.
The comedy category is all-encompassing, meaning both spoken word and music. They just changed it, making it possible for PH to earn that Grammy.

4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:
"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11
So awesome!

Thinking back, if PH won that Grammy without a video and a high charting single, there's something wrong with the universe if SOL, with it's top 10 single, doesn't win a Grammy.
I really don't like that the Best Comedy Album category is all encompassing. I don't think it's fair that Al should have to compete with stand-up comedians, and vise-versa, it just doesn't seem fair. But then I guess comedy music isn't 'mainstream' enough to warrant its own category...

The tsunami of immediacy will wash away the flood of grief, and reveal a layer of naive optimism underneath

Well, there really aren't many other comedy artists who also sing, so I think it's fair. It's better than them leaving the category the way it was for those 15 years Al missed out on because they had changed it to spoken word only. I for one am grateful that it was changed.

If they had a category for comedy music only, Al would be getting a Grammy without fail every three years. They're probably not going to institute the diametric opposite of the Yankovic Exclusionary Rule.
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

Call me optimistic but I think Al has the Best Comedy Album category locked up even if he is competing against stand-up comedians. Poodle Hat was able to win and it was hardly even critically acclaimed let alone popular with the masses. This album will also take that Grammy unless there is an obvious frontrunner when the nominees are announced (which should be pretty soon).
And sorry, but the odds of Al winning one of the big three categories are even less than getting into the Rock Hall.
