nominee, Clinton won his second consecutive nod for music's top awards in the
best spoken word album category for the recording of his best-selling
autobiography "My Life."

won two Grammy nods, including one for best spoken word album for "The World
According To Mr. Rogers" which he shares with former "Cagney and Lacey" star
Tyne Daley and comic Lily Tomlin.
Lithgow also won a nod for best spoken word album for children for "Carnival
Of The Animals."
US comics DeGeneres and Jon Stewart won nominations for best comedy album, De
Generes for "The Funny Thing Is..." and Stewart for his satirical "The Daily

Inaction."
Pithy US author David Sedaris also won two nominations for the music's
highest honours, a best comedy album nod for his album "Live At Carnegie Hall"
and best spoken word album for "Dress Your Family In Corduroy And Denim."
But while the news for Clinton was good, former US first lady, Senator
Hillary Clinton, did not repeat her Grammy nominations success of 2004, when she
won a nod for best spoken word album for the reading of her autobiography
"Living History."
The 47th annual Grammy Awards will be held in Los Angeles on February 13 next
