Setting aside shaky performances and questionable red carpet fashion at this year's Grammy Awards, we were thrilled to see some of our favorite artists take home prizes in some of the top categories.
Sam Smith took home the awards for Song of the Year, Record Of The Year, Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Album while Pharrell Williams nabbed the awards for Best Music Video, Best Pop Solo Performance and Best Urban Contemporary Album. Interestingly enough, it was Beck who took home Album of the year, beating out Beyonce, Ed Sheeran, Smith and Williams.
Beyonce had six nominations, which made her the most Grammy-nominated female in history, but she only took home prizes for Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song.
