Cop The Full Rundown Of 2018 Grammy Award Winners (And Grateful Losers)

Ah, yes, here we are, at the tail end of another Grammy Awards ceremony. Bonza.

The 2018 edition of the music industry’s premiere awards night proved to be pretty bloody great for Bruno Mars. He came out looking damn fine, thanks to Album Of The Year, Record Of The Year, and Best R&B Album gongs for 24K Magic, plus a Song Of The Year nod for That’s What I Like.

Childish Gambino also crushed it, with a Best Traditional R&B Performance award for his slow-burning Redbone.

Kendrick Lamar landed a slew of accolades for his landmark record DAMN., including Best Rap Album, Best Rap Performance for Hottest 100-winning tune HUMBLE., and Best Rap/Sung Performance for LOYALTY. with none other than Rihanna.

Ed Sheeran won Best Pop Solo Performance for Shape Of You, but notably wasn’t present at the ceremony. Fellow nominee Kesha definitely was present, playing her anthem Praying to an adoring Madison Square Garden crowd.

Australian Evangelical church (and accompanying band) Hillsong also took out the Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song award for their worshipful tune What A Beautiful Name.
