Lady Gaga's live HBO special Monster Ball Tour: At Madison Square Garden is nominated for five awards including Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Special and a handful of technical categories. Justin Timberlake's appearance on Saturday Night Live in May earned the singer three nods – one for Outstanding Guest Actor and two in the Outstanding Original Music category for his "Not Gonna Sing Tonight" monologue tune and his Lonely Island team-up "3-Way (The Golden Rule)." (Lady Gaga also appeared on the "3-Way" song, but was not nominated because she did not have a writing credit.)

“All Along the Watchtower”

The Jimi Hendrix Experience | 1968

Jimi Hendrix got hold of Bob Dylan's early John Wesley Harding tapes and in late 1967 recorded a version of "All Along the Watchtower" with the Experience in London. Dissatisfied with that first development, Hendrix brought those tapes with him to New York in early 1968 when he began work on Electric Ladyland. Eddie Kramer, Hendrix's engineer at the time, told Rolling Stone that Hendrix "was still looked upon by his basically white audience as the mammoth black guitar hero. There was a constant fight within him to expand himself." Hendrix's successful take on Dylan's work has long been recognized by the songwriter. "I liked Jimi Hendrix's record of this and ever since he died I've been doing it that way," Dylan wrote in the liner notes to his Biograph box set. "Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it's a tribute to him in some kind of way."
