Other | Monday 11th February 2013 | Harry
With it being the BAFTAs last night over here in England one could be forgiven for maybe letting the 55th Annual Grammys slip the mind. Fear not though because I am going to impart the knowledge upon you of whom the big winners from this year’s awards were.
The Grammy’s are the biggest night of the year for many in the music industry, and with serious competition this year, the stage was set for new artists such as Frank Ocean and Fun to really receive some worldwide recognition. Alongside new acts like these, all the big names were present on the nominees list for their various efforts.
Here is the list of the winners of the major categories.

So there you have the main winners from last nights awards. As usual it was a great event enjoyed by all. Except one man...Chris.Brown.
You may have heard about a recent clash between the aforementioned and a certain well loved artist by the name of Frank Ocean. A couple of weeks ago the two men came to blows outside a recording studio when Frank allegedly refused to shake Chris' hand (I don't blame him...). Last night, the two men were up against each other up for the award of Best Urban Contemporary Album and Frank came out on top winning the award. A standing ovation ensued, everyone taking part except Brown who remained seated throughout. Being seated on the front row and in a white suit it probably wasn't the best idea as he was never going to go unnoticed. Word has it that Adele had some stern words afterwards though so we can only hope his arrogance was put in check slightly. Anyway, here's a little video showing it happen.
