True Blood was nominated for two grammy’s at this year’s 53rd Grammy Awards competition.

The final tallies for the awards began to take shape Sunday afternoon, as many of the top nominees collected kudos at the pre-telecast ceremony at the L.A. Convention Center including the categories in which True Blood was nominated.

Unfortunately, this year True Blood wasn’t a winner.

We still think that True Blood has the best music and should have won. Congratulations to Gary Calamar and Lucinda Williams for their nominations and here’s hope they get more nominations in the future.

The two categories in which True Blood was nominated along with the competition is listed below. The winners are in blue.
