2008 Grammy Award Winners - A Top Story This Wee

02/16/08
.
2008 Grammy Award Winners was a top story on Monday. Here it is again: (antiMusic) For the five readers that might actually care about this, we have a list of who won what at the 50th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday night. (Most of the awards are included).

We know you're itching to find out who took the nod for best Polka Album and other assorted genres still celebrated by the antiquated music awards ceremony (they still call it "record of the year after all) but have been ignored by the masses for the past 40 years, but we can tell you that Amy Winhouse, Kanye West and Bruce Springsteen were the very predictable big winners on Sunday night.

The strangest pick of the evening was the Album of the Year nod, which went to Herbie Hancock. Props to Herbie but the best album of the year? It's also interesting to see that the Foo Fighters are now "hard rock." Maybe they are hard to the geriatric "academy" voters, but at least they gave the metal award to a metal band this year (Slayer). Now with that said, here are the Grammy "winners":
