Wait...I didn't think this was really a new score. Or maybe it is because the songs are reworked from the originals? I'm confused.

[luvgirlcl]

YES! I was crossing my fingers for any kind of nomination for the Grammys...

[Moffie]

"John Gallagher Jr, Michael Esper and Others." But FUCK YEAH.

Whoa..Memphis didn't get nominated? Oops.

[Joy of suburbia.]

Tough competition, but still great that they got the nod!

It's a new score because the songs havent been used in a musical before...

I was JUST checking the nominations for anything green day. But I didn't see anything. So I got pissed. But now I see they did. Fuck yes.

[Katarina.]

That's great! They really deserve to win this.

[Alan86]

It would be great if they won. 6 and a half years later and this great album is still being nominated for Grammys. I know it's the cast album but it's still Green Day's Music

They should really win because that is hell of a CD
