21, o álbum do ano
Uma noite em que a grande estrela foi Adele, com referências à diva Whitney Houston. Adele simplesmente ganhou todos os seis prêmios aos quais foi indicada (veja lista abaixo). A homenagem a Whitney Houston, que morreu na véspera e ganhou por três vezes como melhor cantora, ficou por conta de Jennifer Hudson cantando I Will Always Love You, além de algumas citações ao longo da noite. Destaque para Foo Fighters, que levou cinco prêmios, e para as apresentações de Paul McCartney com My Valentine, Kisses on the Bottom e Golden Slumbers. Outro destaque controverso foi a apresentação de Nicki Minaj. Veja a lista dos ganhadores (entre parêntesis, os demais indicados) desta 54ª edição do Grammy:
