, Crossfade's still a little wet from last year's "Rain Over Me" threesome with Pitbull and Marc Anthony. But we're also dripping fresh excitement juices in anticipation of the 2012 Latin Grammys!



Our most-soaked Spanish-language fantasy: The sexiest y más talentoso members of the Latin Recording Academy squish themselves into a dimly lit room at the fancy-ass Belasco Theater in downtown Los Angeles to reveal, whisperingly, the nominations for Álbum del Año, Canción del Año, and Mejor Nuevo Artista, among others.



Well, believe it or not, our wettest dreams came true this afternoon as Dominican beefcake Juan Luis Guerra topped the Hispanic heap with six nods and Ricardo Arjona, Edgar Barrera, Juanes, Carla Morrison, Arturo Sandoval, and Caetano Veloso all scored four times.



¡Ay, muy húmedo! Now check the cut for a full list of the Latin Grammys' 2012 nominees.
