Fun., 5 Others Get 6 Nominations

It was a fun night for fun. at the Grammy Awards nominations TV special in Nashville on Wednesday.

On the strength of their smash hit "We Are Young," the pop-rock band earned nominations in four of the five categories revealed on the CBS telecast. And the reason they didn't get a nod in the remaining category is that it was dedicated to country music.
