Both women, of course, have been nominated for -- and won -- a number of Emmys, but these are their first Grammy nods.

There are three other nominees in the category -- an audio dramatization of "The Mark of Zorro," featuring Val Kilmer, among others; a recording of "Hamlet" by the Oregon Shakespeare Festival; and a collection of reminiscences by Beatles fans called "Fab Fan Memories: The Beatles Bond."

Jon Stewart won the 2011 Grammy for best spoken word album for "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Presents Earth." Michael J. Fox won in 2010 for "Always Looking Up."
