Although there was some serious Grammy drama last night, the show went on and the golden gramophones were handed out to the best the music industry has to offer. The 51st Annual Grammy Awards went down last night and music legend Robert Plant along with Alison Krauss, made out like Grammy bandits. The duo swept the Grammy Awards this year, winning awards for Best Contemporary Folk/Americana Album, Best Country Collaboration With Vocals, Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals, Record of the Year, and the big kahuna, Album of the Year.

Lil Wayne did well too. He came into the evening with eight nominates, and landed four awards, including Rap Album of the Year. Jennifer Hudson won for Best R&B Album. Newcomer Adele earned her title as Best New Artist. The official Grammy site has your complete list of Grammy winners.
