The nominees for the 51st Grammy Awards[1] have been annouced, and Disney has the only nominees from animated projects. While the Annie Award voters may not have thought WALL-E worthy, the Grammy Award voters thought differently with the film picking up three nominations. Enchanted received two nods while the musical version of The Little Mermaid picked up one. The Grammy award year runs from October 1, 2007 to September 30, 2008.
