Grammy Awards 2012: i vincitori

Adele e Foo Fighters hanno fatto piazza pulita ai Grammy Awards 2012 (qui il nostro liveblogging). Si sono accaparrati rispettivamente sei e cinque premi lasciando a bocca asciutta Lady Gaga e Katy Perry.

Ottimi risultati anche per Tony Bennet e per il country di Taylor Swift che ancora una volta dimostra di essere apprezzatissimo in territorio americano.

Niente da fare per Nicki Minaj. Il premio come migliore artista dell’anno è andato all’alternativo Bon Iver che si aggiudica anche l’award nella categoria Alternative Music Album. A seguire la lista completa dei vincitori. Concordate oppure avreste fatto vincere altri?
