Here’s the 2015 Grammy Awards Winners List–which we’ve kept updating, even though none of our friends won. At least Weird Al Yankovic won for Best Comedy Album. He’s everybody’s friend. We’re also pretty happy to see St. Vincent winning a Grammy. [photo: Frazer Harrison/Getty]
Jack White needed a break after this fake guacamole scandal, too. Anyway, here’s how it went, and be glad that you didn’t have a bunch of money riding on it like with the Super Bowl. And we recommend also checking out the hottest moments on the Grammys red carpet, of course…
