Winners Worth Mentioning...

So the Grammy's last night were, well, kinda lame. The nights highlight Radiohead (Thom and Johnny at least) playing "15 Step" with the USC Trojans Marching Band. Also, Thom Yorke put on a clinic with those dance moves. But while Lil' Wayne won an award that Lupe Fiasco should've won (yes, I said it) here are the winners worth mentioning...
  • Best Rock Song: Bruce Springsteen, "Girls In Their Summer Clothes"
  • Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals: Kings Of Leon, "Sex On Fire"
  • Best Alternative Music Album: Radiohead, In Rainbows
  • Best Rap/Sung Collaboration: Estelle Featuring Kanye West, "American Boy"
  • Best Short Form Music Video: Weezer, "Pork And Beans"
  • Best Long Form Music Video: Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers, "Runnin' Down A Dream" ???????
  • Best Electronic/Dance Album: Daft Punk, Alive 2007
  • Best Dance Recording: Daft Punk, "Harder Better Faster Stronger"
