Earlier tonight, I asked you if it was worth watching the Grammys given the award show’s questionable history of decision making, but looking over this year’s crop of winners, I don’t think the ceremony made many glaring errors. As expected, Adele pulverized the competition en route to six Grammys. Other big winners included the Foo Fighters who took home five prizes and the late Amy Winehouse who won for Best Duet with Tony Bennett.
As for the show itself, Jennifer Hudson sparkled in her sad, yet uplifting tribute to Whitney Houston and Nicki Minaj confused in her wild red getup and date dressed as the Pope. No doubt these individual moments will be endlessly dissected after the dust settles tomorrow, but for now, it’s worth reminding ourselves exactly who won. Here’s a partial list of tonight’s recipients in some of the major categories… Record of the Year: Rolling in the Deep by Adele Song Of The Year Rolling in the Deep by Adele & Paul Epworth Best New Artist Bon Iver Album Of The Year 21 by Adele Best Pop Solo Performance Someone Like You by Adele Best Pop Duo/Group Performance Body And Soul by Tony Bennett & Amy Winehouse Best Pop Vocal Album 21 by Adele Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album Duets II by Tony Bennett Best Rock Performance Walk by Foo Fighters Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance White Limo by Foo Fighters Best Rock Song Walk by Foo Fighters Best Rock Album Wasting Light by Foo Fighters Best Alternative Music Album Bon Iver by Bon Iver Best R&B Performance Is This Love by Corinne Bailey Rae Best Traditional R&B Performance Fool For You by Cee Lo Green Best R&B Song Fool For You by Cee Lo Green Best R&B Album F.A.M.E. by Chris Brown Best Rap Performance Otis by Jay-Z & Kanye West Best Rap/Sung Collaboration All of the Lights by Kanye West Best Rap Song All of the Lights by Kanye West Best Rap Album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West Best Country Solo Performance Mean by Taylor Swift Best Country Duo/Group Performance Boston Hollow by The Civil Wars Best Country Song Mean by Taylor Swift Best Country Album Own The Night by Lady Antebellum Best Spoken Word Album If You Ask Me (And Of Course You Won't) by Betty White Best Comedy Album Hilarious by Louis C.K.
