I am not sure that Hard Candy will make it to AOTY (hoping it does, but if COADF, a bigger commercial and critical hit couldnt, HC is unlikely), however I think 4 Minutes wold and should get ROTY nod. Madonna should probably make it to Best Pop Album, Best Pop Collaboration, Best Dance Recording and maybe Best Music Video Shortform.
