The 2014 Grammy Awards happened last night at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The telecast had everything you would expect from the Grammys: whitebread collaborations (Chicago and Robin Thicke), blatant oversights (Kendrick; hip hop, in general), hilarious crowd shots and the occasional bit of honest-to-goodness brilliance (Kendrick, again, and his shouldn't-have-worked-but-did collab with Imagine Dragons).
Below, a 12-tweet recap of Music's Biggest Night™, culled from my timeline. For the full list of winners, go here.
Is Robin Thicke so traumatized by singing with Miley Cyrus at the VMAs that he is like "I need to go the OTHER WAY on the Grammys"

Part of the agreement is that Juicy J cannot get within 20 feet of Katy Perry. He is just there to make her seem a certain way she is not.

#GRAMMYs couldn't find any room on the telecast for jazz categories, but they had a full minute to show Taylor Swift tweeting backstage?

Praying this the Yoko duet, she just starts shrieking over John Legend, with Katy Perry's puppet horse.
