Amy Winehouse and Kanye West look set to top this years Grammy Nominations when they're announced later today (December 6th).

Despite enduring difficult years, both are favourites with Hollywood insiders to walk away with a nomination for their albums.

West, who lost his mother Donda last month, is expected to win a nomination for his third album ‘Graduation,' which sold over 1 million copies in its first week in America, while Winehouse's ‘Back To Black' won over critics despite her ongoing personal problems.

"I don't think her troubles are really going to hurt her," said Grammy-winning producer John Shanks.

Winehouse also looks set to win recognition in the Best New Artist category, as well as receiving a nomination for her single, ‘Rehab,' reports AP.
