Grammys: Timberlake, Blige likely to head nominations

James Blunt and Corinne Bailey Rae are among those tipped to be named Grammy Award nominees at a US ceremony to announce shortlisters later today. Rae is also expected to attend the announcement ceremony.

Another British artist popular in the US is KT Tunstall, who had a hit with the song Black Horse and the Cherry Tree. Critics say she has a good chance of entering the best new artist category.
