Grammy Awards
From Wikiality, the Truthiness Encyclopedia
On December 3, 2008 Our Glorious Stephen was nominated for a Grammy Award for "Best Spoken Word Album" for I Am American (And So Can You). He is competing against Steve Martin, Sidney Poitier, David Sedaris and the Audiobook for An Inconvenient Truth in which Beau Bridges, Cynthia Nixon & Blair Underwood are nominated. Stephen is more passionate about winning a Grammy than Kanye West is. Unfortunately Stephen lost the award to Beau Bridges, Cynthia Nixon & Blair Underwood for "An Inconvenient Truth". THIS MEANS WAR Al Gore!!!!!!!!

[edit] 2007 Update
- Stephen Colbert did not host The Grammy Awards. The opening slot was taken away from Stephen and The Colberts when The Police reunited and offered to write a song which did not support The President. It's an offer that Hollywood couldn't refuse.
- The Dixie Chicks won five awards.
- Next year it is expected that Led Zeppelin will take the opening spot with Lars Ulrich on the drums and Michael Jackson will open the awards ceremony until a prototype collectable doll malfunctions forcing Jackson to be banned from the awards forever and leave the Country by flying his newly aquired Howard Hughes built "Hercules" from Miami to Cuba.
- It is also expected that ratings for The 2008 Grammy Awards will skyrocket provided Amy Winehouse makes a clean sweep.
