Gustavo Santaolalla (two nominations apiece in record and song of the year, best short-form music video)

The Argentine composer is in a bit of a predicament this year. He's nominated against himself in two categories for his work on records from Juanes and Café Tacvba. Blame it on productivity. Santaolalla is the go-to guy for adventurous rock en español acts and has helmed projects for Fobia, Molotov, Calle 13 and Julieta Venegas. His previous pairings with Juanes and Tacvba have already earned him an armload of Latin Grammys. He's also composed evocative, Oscar-winning scores for Brokeback Mountain and Babel. Oh, and there's also Bajofondo, his South American musical collective that earned a nod this year for its stark, electro-tango video.
