There are a lot of weird awards given out each year for the Grammys that don't get any airplay. Just think of all those chubby, goateed sound engineers clutching awards to their chests, wishing that the world would recognize their craft so they could thank mom on-air. Poor guys. Here are five obscure Grammy award categories and some recent honorees.

Who sits around judging children's albums. Can you imagine that guy's life? Nightmare town.

Jimmy Sturr

The same dude has won this award for the last decade. Nice one, Jimmy Sturr. Keep doing your thing. You own this space.

Jelly Roll Morton

We actually love this kind of passion put into album releases. Liner notes guys, you won't hear an unkind word from us! Keep on telling us stories about guys in jail cells hollering about the price of corn (true).

Kenny G

Your mom and dad are keeping the record industry afloat. They're the only people buying music these days. And they're spending their precious dollars on Kenny G albums. The G is often a jokey placeholder for "awful music" but -- hello -- he's got at least five Grammy categories on lock in 2010.

RIngo Starr

Let's all buy $60,000 audiophile sound systems for our dens so we can hear Ringo Starr farting into his plush drum stool coming at us from 5.1 directions. Awesome.
