Bruno Mars takes home 6 Grammys, Kendrick Lamar 5

Music's biggest stars gathered together to celebrate the best of the year at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony held on Sunday night 28^th January, 2018 at Madison Square Garden, in New York city. It was the first time since 2003 that the ceremony was held outside Los Angeles (where the Staples Center had been the home of the Grammys since 2004). James Corden returned as host.

The 60th instalment of the music industry’s flagship awards show, were handed out on Sunday night. And the night belonged to Bruno Mars.

Heading into the awards, Mars and Jay-Z led the nominations. But Mars ultimately swept the three biggest honors of the night, taking home Album of the Year and Record of the Year for ‘24k Magic’ and winning Song of the Year for That’s What I Like. Mars won six Grammys overall. In the end, Jay-Z was completely shut out and went home empty handed.

The Grammys handed out more than 80 golden gramophones in total, including in dozens of categories whose winners were announced shortly before the live telecast. Another big winner from the preshow awards was Kendrick Lamar, who won five Grammys total: He was honored with Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance, and Best Music Video for Humble during the preshow, and during the main ceremony, he won Best Rap/Sung Performance for Loyalty with Rihanna and Best Rap Album for ‘Damn’

Other notable and controversial wins from the ceremony included Alessia Cara for Best New Artist (in an unfortunate snub of SZA) and Ed Sheeran for Best Pop Solo Performance, with his song Shape of You (Sheeran somehow beat Kelly Clarkson, Lady Gaga, Kesha, and Pink, and he wasn’t even present to accept the award).
