Gotye’s Making Mirrors is the front-runner for Best Alternative Music Album. Fiona Apple and Bjork are also likely to make the finals. Apple and Bjork are both vying to become the first female solo artist to win in the category since Sinead O’Connor took the award with her 1990 album I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got. The competition may also include Tom Waits, who won the award with his 1992 album Bone Machine.
