There are plenty of storylines heading into Sunday's 56th Grammy Awards — Will the night belong to newcomers like Macklemore & Ryan Lewis or Lorde? Can Kendrick Lamar shock the world and win Album of the Year? How will Daft Punk actually give an acceptance speech? — but my favorite is definitely this one:

How much money will I win?

Yes, for wagering enthusiasts such as myself, there's no award show that comes close to matching the sheer unpredictability of the Grammys (except for that one year where Adele won everything), which makes picking the winners — and turning a profit — nearly impossible. Still, that doesn't stop me from attempting to do just that every single year ... with mixed results.

But this year, I'm not working alone: As a public service (and for purely selfish reasons) I reached out to the oddsmaking experts at Bovada.lv to get their take on this year's field of nominees. What can I say? I'll take all the help I can get.

So here, straight from the pros, are the up-to-the-minute Grammy odds in the Big Four categories. How can you maximize your earnings on Music's Biggest Night? Read on to find out.

So, Snooki and Nicki Minaj walk into a bar...

OK people, it could really happen! Need proof? MTV News is celebrating #TBT with a look back at the 2011 Grammy Awards, when the star co-hosted MTV's red carpet livestream with Sway. Who knew that the future mommy would find a BFF in Nicki Minaj?

The duo chatted about fashion, hair poufs and a love of "f---ing ferocious" leopard print on the red carpet. Minaj even spilled the beans on her Valentine's Day plans with Pauly D. Check out the clip to get in on the girl-crush action.

Stick with MTV News all week as we cover all things Grammys, and don't miss Sway, Jim Shearer and Nicole Byer as they report live from Sunday's red carpet. The mayhem kicks off at 3 p.m. ET on MTV.com, VH1.com, CMT.com and LogoTV.com.

If taught us anything on Wednesday (January 22), it's that hell really is a fast food chicken joint.

At least it is for Queenie (Gabourey Sidibe), who took a brief trip to the afterlife as she sought out Papa Legba (Lance Reddick) for answers in Marie Laveau's (Angela Bassett) disappearance. In the aptly titled and gratuitously violent "Go To Hell," we see four characters leave this earth with the prospects for their return looking slim.

The series' penultimate episode tied up several loose ends and laid the groundwork for next week's finale, in which the Seven Wonders will be performed and a new Supreme crowned. So who is going into the finale alive, who might we only see in the afterlife, and what exactly are those Seven Wonders we've heard so much about? MTV News breaks it down for you in our "AHS: Coven" recap.

The Seven Wonders Are Revealed
"Every generation needs its leader, the Supreme. No simple test could ever determine the sovereign among us. We rely upon seven," explains an old school witch tutorial. "The 'Seven Wonders.' Seven acts of magic so advanced, each pushes the boundaries of craft into art." They are: telekinesis (to control objects with the mind), concilium (to control someone's mind), transmutation (transporting oneself to another location), divination (to see the future), vitalum vitalis (to bring a person back from the dead), descensum (to move between life and the afterlife) and pyrokinesis (to control fire with the mind).

"You will perform the Seven Wonders or you will die trying," Fiona tells Queenie. Apparently, not all witches ...

As if the hypnotic vocals and kinetic instrumentation of Disclosure's "F for You" didn't already get your feet tapping, the just-released video for their Mary J. Blige collaboration makes it impossible to stay still.

Apart from being laced with the dance-music duo's signature face art, the five-minute video is really all about the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul. It's a clip that looks like it came straight from 1987 — A-ha's "Take on Me" comes to mind — from Blige's leather jacket, the artwork that flashes behind her and the "When Doves Cry"-esque way Guy and Howard Lawrence play the keyboard.

The guys surprised everyone at New York City's Terminal 5 this weekend when they brought Blige out onstage to perform the hit. And if it was anything like the video, then it sounds like we missed out on one hell of a party.

And while Mary is quite a get for such a new act, when MTV News caught up with the U.K. duo recently, they admitted they wanted a little more hip-hop on Settle.

"I'd say for the album, I'd love to have gotten a rapper on the album," Howard said, "which is why we've got a song on there like 'When A Fire Starts To Burn.' We just couldn't find a rapper in time, so we just did the best we could and downloaded a load of spoken-word stuff and cut it up to make it sound like rapping. But in the future, we'd definitely like to work with a rapper."

Schoolboy Q is well aware of all the comparisons to his TDE labelmate Kendrick Lamar, but with his major-label debut Oxymoron ready to drop on February 5, Groovy Q doesn't plan on taking a backseat to anyone —including his longtime friend.

"I don't like Kendrick," Q joked when he appeared on "RapFix Live" on Wednesday (January 22). "Nah, he's an awesome artist, but it's my turn, man."

On Tuesday Q put his album up for pre-order, and to celebrate, the self-proclaimed "Man of the Year" revealed his new album cover and released a dark track where Schoolboy counts his rap spoils. He also takes a playful jab at K-Dot, spitting, "Tell Kendrick move from the throne, I came for it."

Q says that he's been working on Oxymoron for two years and "Break the Bank" is one of his earliest recordings from the album. "I haven't dropped nothing since 2012, the top of 2012. A bunch of stuff. I still got songs on my album that I recorded in 2012, but the records are so great to me," he said. "'Break the Bank' is a record that was recorded in 2012. That was old. That was right when Kendrick's album dropped. It just so happened that he's nominated for seven Grammys right now."

With Q leading the charge, the entire TDE roster will be dropping albums in 2014. "I heard Isaiah [Rashad]'s, I heard Ab-Soul's and just mines," Q confirmed. "I just heard a few Sza records, not the whole project. I heard a few Kendrick records and a few ...

Mark Hamill apparently doesn't know whether he'll be in But he does know someone who is.

While participating in a Reddit Ask Me Anything, Hamill (who played Luke Skywalker) was asked about recent reports in which Princess Leia actress Carrie Fisher confirmed her, Hamill's and Harrison Ford's reprisals of their roles for the sequel. Hamill would not confirm the reports, but was willing to shell out info for one of the other most important characters in the saga.

"The only character I know for sure is returning is my friend R2-D2," he said. "He hasn't stopped beeping about it."

Hamill wrote later, "Haha. I'm not being coy, really. When I find something out, I'll let everybody know. But nothing has been decided yet," which surely disappointed fans who took to Reddit expecting to see him break the news. They can take solace that everyone's favorite undersized robot (sorry, Wall-E) will officially be returning to the galaxy far, far away. No word yet on C-3P0, though it's hard to imagine the two apart.

And while he didn't go so far as to confirm his or any of the other main characters' involvement, he gave a valid reason for not giving anything away, begging people to "keep it a surprise!"

"Im good at keeping secrets. Especially when the goal it to maximize the enjoyment of the audience. That's why I'm worried about episode 7, they're going after casting sheets!" he wrote. "Im [sic] trying to keep the surprises for the movie, not for the internet. I hate spoilers."

Hamill did reveal one ...

It's typical for new film series to keep a director around for at least two installments. Chris Columbus helmed "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" before leaving. The same was true with Jon Favreau and the "Iron Man" movies.

But that hasn't been the case with a few notable YA franchises. Gary Ross didn't stick around the "Hunger Games" series for "Catching Fire," and recently "

Despite the growing trend, Burger's announcement caught many off guard, including "Divergent" star Shailene Woodley, whom MTV News spoke with at the Sundance Film Festival, where she was promoting her new film "White Bird in a Blizzard," this past weekend. "It was pretty shocking," Woodley said.

With production scheduled to start on "Insurgent" soon, a director announcement should be coming soon. For her part, Woodley — perhaps not so seriously — suggested that she direct the sequel. "Well, I propose that I direct. I would love it," she said. "I think I'd be great at a huge action film. They're definitely trying to get another director, but I haven't heard. I've sort of been off the face of the planet for the holidays, so I don't really know where they stand." Whoever takes the reins from Burger has some work ahead of him or her, since it was the "Divergent" director's vision that dictated the feel of the series so far. "Honestly, Neil created this entire world. This whole world was based off his intuition, his own creativity," Woodley said. "It will be interesting to see someone ...
