Here are all the winners from the 61st Grammy Awards

The 61st Grammy Awards are all done and dusted for another year, with a number of huge surprises coming our way as usual.

Back in December, the nominations for the annual Grammy Awards were announced, and there was a lot to take in.

While many folks wondered whether or not we’d see Kendrick Lamar sweep the pool thanks to his eight nominations, others wondered if the Album Of The Year would go to an album not released on CD – an event which hasn’t occurred since 1984.

Of course, a supposed leak of the Grammy winners list also appeared, with the Recording Academy (correctly) revealing that there was “no legitimacy” to the results.

Today though, all of our questions have been answered, with Childish Gambino undoubtedly standing out as one of the year’s biggest winners.

As always, the eyes of the music-loving public were undoubtedly on the big four awards, including Best New Artist, and Album, Record, and Song of the Year.

While Dua Lipa took home Best New Artist, American country musician Kacey Musgraves beat out the likes of Cardi B, Drake, and Post Malone to take out Album of the Year with Golden Hour.

While Childish Gambino took out Record of the Year went to Childish Gambino for ‘This Is America’, the same track also took out Song of the Year, becoming the first rap song to do.

Sadly, while Donald Glover wasn’t around to collect these awards, ‘This Is America’ also received nods for Best Rap/Sung Performance and Music Video of the Year.

While Kacey Musgraves served as another big winner, also taking home Best Country Album, Best Country Solo Performance, and Best Country Song, Kendrick Lamar made good on only one of his eight nominations.

However his Best Rap Performance award ended up being one of the few ties on the night, sharing the honour with Anderson .Paak’s ‘Bubblin’ as well.

The evening also saw an emotional moment, with late Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell receiving the honour for Best Rock Performance, with his two children collecting the award in his honour.

While 94-year-old former US President Jimmy Carter won the Best Spoken Word Award, US performance artist Laurie Anderson also won her first Grammy, taking home the Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance after first being nominated way back in 1984.
