Joan Rivers, who died Sept. 4 after complications from throat surgery, was just nominated for a Grammy for her hilariously candid memoir Diary of a Mad Diva.

The audio version of the memoir snagged a nod in Best Spoken Word Album. This is Rivers' second Grammy nomination, following her 1984 Best Comedy Album nomination for What Becomes a Semi-Legend Most?

Fashion Police co-host Giuliana Rancic revealed the category's nominees on Twitter on Friday as part of the Recording Academy's new Twitter-centric announcement process:
