As you heard, the Grammys Awards aired on Sunday. I gave my review, which is up as of now, but I noticeably left out what everyone cared for(well, not really): the actual awards that have been given out. So here they are as forgotten by me, Andrew!
Daft Punk were the big winners of this years' Grammys as they aired in no particular order (as in copied from Wikipedia):
Best New Artist - Lorde (safe choice, but she's very talented, so kinda deserved)
Record of the Year - Daft Punk - "Get Lucky" (Very catchy song, better than some other noms)
--Thomas Bangalter & Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo, producers; Peter Franco, Mick Guzauski, Florian Lagatta & Daniel Lerner, engineers/mixers; Bob Ludwig, mastering engineer
Album of the Year- Random Access Memories–Daft Punk (Haven't heard any of them, so congrats.)
Song of the Year- Lorde-"Royals"
--(What a very nice victory for a song that's a big FU to rap and pop artists)
--Ella Yelich O'Connor & Joel Little, songwriters
Best New Artist- Macklemore & Ryan Lewis--(Very talented guys, maybe deserved)
Best Pop Solo Performance- Lorde -"Royals"
Best Pop Duo/Group Performance- Daft Punk featuring Pharrell Williams-"Get Lucky"
Best Pop Vocal Album- Unorthodox Jukebox–Bruno Mars
Best Pop Instrumental Album- Herb Alpert-"Steppin' Out"
Best Dance Recording- Zedd featuring Foxes-"Clarity"
--(I really don't like this song. Truly. But congrats.)
Best Dance/Electronica Album- Daft Punk-Random Access Memories
Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album- Michael Bublé-"To Be Loved"
Best R&B album- Alicia Keys-Girl on Fire--(The title song is really corny to me now.)
Best Traditional R&B Performance- "Please Come Home"—Gary Clark Jr.
Best R&B Song- Justin Timberlake-"Pusher Love Girl"--(It's an okay song.)
Best Rap/Sung Collaboration- Jay Z Featuring Justin Timberlake-"Holy Grail" —-(So boring)
—-James Fauntleroy, Jerome Harmon, Timothy Mosley & Justin Timberlake, songwriters
Best Rap Performance- Macklemore & Ryan Lewis-"Thrift Shop"--(Very good and catchy song. Well deserved. And Kendrick Lamar was robbed. He should've won at least one award. He's also very talented.)
Best Rock Performance- Imagine Dragons-"Radioactive"--(I'm beginning to dislike this song. Especially live. It's boring and tired.)
Best Alternative Music Album- Vampire Weekend-"Modern Vampires of the City"
Best Rock Album- Led Zeppelin -- "Celebration Day"
Best Country Song- Kacey Musgraves-"Merry Go 'Round"
--(Very talented girl. She's probably what Taylor Swift isn't.)
Best country album- Kacey Musgraves-Same Trailer Different Park
--(Has some nice songs. I think She'll do very well.)
Best Music Video- Justin Timberlake f. Jay Z-"Suit & Tie"
--(I think Capital Cities' "Safe and Sound" should have won. The vid has almost every visual format known to man and lets them mesh together perfectly. You have to see it to believe it. Way better than just Black & White. Also the song's great.)
There are more winners on the official Grammys website, and (obviously) Wikipedia.
