As MadonnaTribe readers remember, The Confessions Tour by Madonna was submitted for consideration for nomination for Best Long Form Music Video at the 50th Grammy Awards back in October, in the first step of a process where entries are submitted and then screened for eligibility and category placement. The Confessions Tour was indeed part of a list including more than 150 films.

The nominations for the 50th Annual Grammy Awards have been announced today, and Madonna’s Confessions Tour did actually make the list.
