Quote :: A California girl, a Canadian boy, a recovering rapper and a needy Nashville trio can all expect to unwrap early Christmas presents live on TV Wednesday.

This year's Grammy Awards race -- including the inevitable debates about who was robbed and what planet the academy voters are actually from -- officially begins when major nominees for the 53rd Grammys are announced during a one-hour special airing at 10 p.m. (9 p.m. Central) on CBS and Global.

The annoyingly titled Grammy Nominations Concert Live!! Countdown to Music's Biggest Night -- broadcast from Los Angeles and hosted once again by rapper-turned-TV-crimefighter LL Cool J -- will also feature performances by Justin Bieber, B.o.B., Miranda Lambert, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry and Train. Presenters will include Selena Gomez, Dave Grohl, Paramore's Hayley Williams and Stevie Wonder.
