  1. Did I read that correctly? There are 19 songs nominated for song of the year? I hope so cause it will make my 14 not seem so bad!!

  2. Yes indeed I erred on the side of inclusion. Since last year I had so much trouble coming up with any, this year I decided to include everybody since there is not clear front runner.
