Felicitaciones are in order this morning, as the big guns of the Spanish music world were all present and accounted for when the nominations were revealed for the 12th Annual Latin Grammy Awards.

Among the marquis names who are likely now, as we speak, considering dresses, making room on the mantle and remembering to thank their mothers: Shakira, Enrique Iglesias, Pitbull, Ricky Martin and the family troupe Calle 13, who may prove to be the biggest winners of the night, as they already lead the way with a record 10 nominations.

Who says 13 is unlucky? So what's everyone up for?

Latin music heavyweights Ricky Martin and Shakira each scored three nominations for the big show, including Album of the Year honors for Euphoria (Iglesias) and Sale El Sol (Shakira).

Shakira, meanwhile, is also up for Best Female Album, while Martin rounded out his nods with Record and Song of the year nominations for "Lo Mejor de Mi Vida Eres Tu."

Elsewhere, Ruben Blades and Pitbull scored two apiece, with the latter going up against Calle 13 for Best Urban Music Album for Armando. His second nod, Best Urban Song, came for "Bon Bon."

As for the top honor of the night, Album of the Year, in addition to Shakira and Enrique, Alex, Jorge  Y Lena are up for their self-titled album, as are Calle 13 for Entren Los Que Quieran and Franco De Vita for En Primera Fila.

The Latin Grammy Awards will take place Nov. 10 in Las Vegas, and will be broadcast live on Univision.
