Bjork

Noms: Pop instrumental performance, instrumental arrangement accompanying a vocalist\nSince she's already won seventeen jillion awards for her performance in Dancer in the Dark, maybe The Icelandic One won't mind that she only scored two minor Grammy nominations for her work on the soundtrack album Selmasongs. She's up for best pop instrumental performance for the "Overture" from Dancer (an orchestral piece that's about as pop as Pavarotti). She also got a nod in the wordy category best instrumental arrangement accompanying a vocalist for "I've Seen It All," her railroad-riffic duet with Radiohead's Thom Yorke (sung with Peter "Fargo Wood Chipper" Stormare in the film). Unless you're attending the mythic "earlier untelevised ceremony" hosted by some B-list celebrity or another, don't expect to see these particular statuettes handed out. And if Bjork strikes out on Grammy night, there's always next month --"I've Seen It All" is also up for best song at the Academy Awards, where she'll perform with a 55-piece orchestra.
