Grammy Awards 2020 – Near Complete List of Winners
Billie Eilish; Vampire Weekend; The Chemical Brothers; Lizzo; Tyler, the Creator; Tool; Anderson .Paak; Elvis Costello; Lil Nas X; and More All Collect Awards
Say what you will about the Grammy Awards and their spotting history of actually honoring the best albums and songs, they remain the most notable music awards show. There’s no major awards show that honors only indie rock (or alternative rock if you must) or rock music in general, nothing equivalent to how the Oscars are balanced by the Independent Spirit Awards. This year some decent Under the Radar-friendly albums (by Bon Iver, Lana Del Rey, and Vampire Weekend) were nominated for Album of the Year, but none stood a chance against the almighty Billie Eilish, who swept all four major categories: Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best New Artist, as well as also winning Best Pop Vocal Album. But Vampire Weekend did win Best Alternative Music Album. If you didn’t have time to watch the nearly four-hour broadcast on CBS, below is the full list of winners in the main categories (plus many of the trophies weren’t actually given out on the air). Visit the Grammys’ website for a slightly longer list of winners, including the classical, world music, and packaging categories.
