It’s nearly two months before the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards Air, and the twists and turns have already begun.  The awards show, which will air January 31st, 2010 from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, has a long standing tradition of surprises, though the twists don’t typically start THIS early.

Rolling Stone reports a change in the nominee lineup, barely a week after it was announced.  According to RS, Miley Cyrus’ tune “The Climb” was accidentally submitted for consideration in the Best Song Written For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media running.  According to sources the song was withdrawn from the race by Miley’s camp, citing that the song was not actually written FOR the film Hannah Montana: The Movie.

Taking its place on the ballot is “All is Love” by Karen O and the kids, which was written for Spike Jones’ Where the Wild Things Are. “All is Love” was the song with the next highest votes, so it was automatically given the slot.  Other contenders include: “Decode” by Paramore from the movie Twilight, “Jai Ho” by A.R. Rahman, Sukhvinder Singh, Tanvi Shah, Mahalaxmi Iyer & Vijay Prakash from the movie Slumdog Millionaire, “Once in a Lifetime” by Beyonce from the movie Cadillac Records, and “The Wrestler” by Bruce Springsteen from the movie The Wrestler.
