Natalie Grant, LeCrae surprises at Dove Award nominations — easy to read complete list

The sur­prise as the Gospel Music Asso­ci­a­tion announced the 2012 Dove Award nom­i­na­tions were that Natal­ie Grant and LeCrae both received nods for two songs in one cat­e­go­ry. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that.

Grant is nom­i­nat­ed for “Alive” and “Your Great Name” in the Song of the Year cat­e­go­ry. LeCrae is nom­i­nat­ed for “Hal­lelu­jah” and “The Over­dose” in the Rap/Hip-hop Record­ed Song of the Year cat­e­go­ry. LeCrae is also up for Artist of the Year.

Here are a the major cat­e­gories and nom­i­nees that were just announced at a lun­cheon Wednes­day in Atlanta. The Dove Awards are April 19 at the Fox The­ater in Atlanta.
