2010 Grammys for Tokio Hotel?

Alright guys, you may or may not have heard of it but apparently for the 2010 Grammy Awards Nominations, apart from the nominated artists, there's yet another "Other Section" made available. It's supposed to let readers nominate their favoured artists or bands for the awards that they aren't being nominated.

However, here's how the Grammy Awards works; It isn't like the EMAs or whatsoever which the results rely on fans' votings. Decisions are made, possibly among the management itself. But, Tokio Hotel isn't exactly eligible for the 2010 Grammys' so, when i heard this news i pulled out the entry that was drafted out to allow us fans to vote for.

Let's just say, it's no surprise that the Tokio Hotel fans went on a voting frenzy for the boys on the readers' prediction poll like any other awards. Here are the results of the polls taken from Billboard.com: -
