Dove Awards 2011

The nominees for 2011's GMA Dove Awards were released today. Here is my unbiased list of who I think truly deserves to win.

Overall, I think Chris August, Francesca Battistelli, and Sanctus Real will win big. I was disappointed Skillet was not nominated, and I also feel Red and Flyleaf were snubbed with only one nomination. Complete list of noms: http://www.gospelmusic.org/newsmedia/OMNewswire_detail.aspx?iid=42288&tid=33
