53. podelitev nagrad Grammy, ki je bila danes ponoči v Los Angelesu, je prinesla nove dobitnike v premnogo kategorijah. Skupina Lady Antebellum, ki jo ne poznam in zdajle prvič poslušam na Valu202, so dobili 5 grammyev. Justin Bieber je ostal brez nagrade, prav tako pa je Eminem dobil samo dva Grammya, čeprav je imel deset nominacij. Nagrade za življenjsko delo je prejela skupina Ramones, pevka Dolly Parton in igralka Julie Andrews.
