62nd Grammy Awards: Full List of Winners
The 62nd Annual Grammy Awards took place this year under the shadow of major tumult at the Recording Academy.

Outside the Staples Center, arrivals took place on the red carpet as mourners gathered outside the arena to pay their respects at the home of the Lakers, Bryant’s team for his entire career.
