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.)

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
