grammy winners

The Grammys night was somewhat owned by the all-American country pop act Lady Antebellum(pictured left) but the biggest surprise emerged from north of the border. Arcade Fire grabbed the Grammy for Best Album of the year for their third full length "The Suburbs", sweeping aside the records from Lady Antebellum, Eminem, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry in the process.

To say this was unexpected would be an understatement. Earlier in the evening, Arcade Fire dropped the Best Alternative Album Grammy to the Black Keys’ “Brothers.” This sets up an interesting theoretical question for Grammyologists: how could “The Suburbs” be designated the best album overall when it isn’t even the best album in its genre? The band doesn’t have the mainstream recognition of Eminem or Lady Gaga, but ever since “Funeral” their 2004 debut, Arcade Fire has been one of the most lauded groups in rock.

So a great night for Lady Antebellum, Arcade Fire and all the participants in the music awards ceremony.

grammys

The Grammys are just hours away and already people will have burning questions regarding the event. Who will win best album of the year? What will lady gaga wear? Can it be eaten, set on fire or both? We will find out these things on tonight's show which is broadcast at 8pm ET on CBS.

Rapper Eminem is the leading nominee for the 2011 Grammys with ten nods. His latest album is called “Recovery,” and since award-show voters love a comeback story, he’s good bet to come away with some prizes tonight. Still, Eminem will face a stiff challenge from Lady Gaga’s “The Fame Monster,” and many critics are pulling for the rock band Arcade Fire’s “The Suburbs.” The best new artist category will be hotly-contested with Justin Bieber, rapper Drake, indie darlings Florence & the Machine, the British folk band Mumford & Sons and jazz comer Esperanza Spalding all vying for the award.

So a very interesting night for award ceremonies and who is to receive the prizes is to be seen.
