From Mikhail Gorbachev to Orson Welles, there's a storied history of oddball Grammy winners.<br />
And while the list of 2016 Grammy nominees constitutes a solid bunch, there were still a few unexpected nominations that caught us off guard.<br />
Here are seven that you probably didn't see coming.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Paul%20McCarthy">Paul McCartney</a></strong><br />
Earlier this year, Paul McCartney scored his first Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs hit thanks to his work on <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Kanye%20West">Kanye West</a>'s "Only One." Now, as the year draws to a close, the Beatle has earned another unlikely honor: 2 nominations in Grammy rap categories. Macca is up for best rap performance and best rap song thanks to his work on Kanye's "All Day," a track based on a melody McCartney wrote in the '70s that also features Sir Paul's whistling.<br />
<a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Joni%20Mitchell"><strong><span style="line-height: 1.6;">Joni Mitchell</span></strong></a><br />
Given that Joni Mitchell hasn't released new music since 2007, and most Joni Mitchell news in 2015 revolved around her hospitalization, it's surprising to see the folk legend receive a Grammy nom this year. That's because prior to her health scare, Mitchell wrote liner notes for her own career-spanning box set, <em>Love Has Many Faces: A Quartet, A Ballet, Waiting To Be Danced, </em>which earned her a nom in the best album notes category.<br />
<a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Highly%20Suspect"><strong>Highly Suspect</strong></a><br />
Although the Massachusetts hard rock trio has gotten positive notices over the course of their career, it was a surprise to see them up for 2 Grammys in rock categories -- best rock album for <em>Mister Asylum </em>and "Lydia" for best rock song. While "Lydia" worked its way up to No. 4 on the Mainstream Rock Songs chart, their debut album, which dropped this summer, missed the <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Billboard%20200">Billboard 200</a> entirely, making their nomination for best rock album rather surprising.<br />
<strong>Amy Poehler</strong><br />
UCB/<em>SNL/Parks & Recreation</em> alum Amy Poehler has a new feather to add her to multi-hyphenate cap: Grammy nominee. Poehler is up in the best spoken word category for the audiobook of her memoir-ish <em>Yes Please</em>, which received mixed reviews upon its release in 2014.<br />
<strong>Jimmy Carter</strong><br />
In the same category, Jimmy Carter scores another Grammy nomination for his audiobook <em>A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety</em>. The former U.S. president has previously been nominated in that category several times, and actually won it in 2007 for his book<em> Our Endangered Values</em>. So yes, surprising as the nomination seems, Carter is already a Grammy fave.<br />
<a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Nicki%20Minaj"><strong>Nicki Minaj</strong></a><br />
Don't get us wrong -- "Truffle Butter" deserves to be up for best rap performance. We are, however, surprised the typically safe Grammys gave a nod to such a NSFW track -- the definition of truffle butter is some Marquis de Sade shit, and the verses from Minaj, Drake and Lil Wayne don't hold back either.<br />
<a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Hiatus%20Kaiyote"><strong>Hiatus Kaiyote</strong></a><br />
Musically ambitious Australian neo-soul outfit Hiatus Kaiyote had a good 2015, but it was hardly a breakthrough year -- they barely qualify as indie stars at this point. Despite their small profile (at least for now), the band scored a best R&B performance nom for the song "Breathing Underwater" from their second album <em>Choose Your Weapon</em>. An unexpected but worthy nod.

Omarion Gets Roasted For Tweeting About Grammys Snub</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Omarion" target="_blank">Omarion</a> is currently getting the BUSINESS on Twitter for ranting about <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/The%20Grammys" target="_blank">The Grammys</a> after getting snubbed for his hit <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Post%20To%20Be" target="_blank">“Post To Be.”</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The track that features Chris Brown and Jhene Aiko’s infamous “eat the booty like groceries” line, apparently didn’t make the cut for the Best R&B Performance category.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And obviously feeling perturbed about it, Omarion took to Twitter to rant about the track that he thinks is one of the “greatest R&B collaborations EVER.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
