Los Angeles: Eminem paces Grammy field

---

Eminem’s return to prominence was amply rewarded Wednesday night, as a beleaguered record industry gave him 10 Grammy nominations for his Recovery album, including nods in all three top categories, at a televised Grammy nomination concert from the Nokia Theatre. The Hawaiian-born musical multihyphenate Bruno Mars was a surprising nomination runner-up with seven nominations. The other three nominees for record of the year are country trio Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now,” “Love the Way You Lie” by Eminem and Rihanna; and “Empire State of Mind,” Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’ paean to New York City. And it wouldn’t be the Grammys without nods to Katy Perry and Lady Gaga, contenders in the album category. The Los Angeles Times’ Randy Lewis sorts it out.
