Grammys
-
No side-boob, no bits of butt, no ridiculousness calling itself evening wear, the CBS dress code advisory email apparently warned attendees at this year's Grammy awards. But have the guests at every award season's most notoriously fashion-far-out red carpet taken any notice?
We can only hope not.
(To be fair, they apparently sent this out last year as well. It did not work.) -

My fave @theblackkeys just won best rock song for lonely boy, best rock album for el casino. Can they win album of the year? #GrammyAwardsby Piya Sinha-Roy via twitter 2/10/2013 11:55:57 PM -
Macca @paulmccartney wins best traditional pop vocal album for Kisses on the Bottom, #GrammyAwardsby Piya Sinha-Roy via twitter 2/10/2013 11:56:00 PM -

And our unofficial first award of the night goes to Kimbra for wearing something that, being both seethrough AND fluffy, must surely break all of CBS' dresscode guidelines at once. Bingo! -

Early big winners: @Skrillex- 3, @TheBlackKeys with 2 #GrammyAwards, Mumford and Sons have lost three categories, won for long form video.by Piya Sinha-Roy via twitter 2/11/2013 12:16:48 AM -


Skrillex accepts his award for best dance recording for "Bangarang", while skillfully (Skrillfully?) shrinking away from the stray beam of sunlight weirdly beaming onto the stage that, if he wandered into it, may see him crumble into a pile of shiny dust producing a particularly pumping dance beat on the floor.

Taylor Swift plays Peek-a-boo with a theatre full of people as she accepts the Grammy award for Best Song Written For Visual Media. Best Song Written For Visual Media? Really? That's a thing? I'm beginning to think it's a bit hard NOT to win a Grammy award with the number of categories coming out of the woodwork here.

Wait I thought that was LL Cool J performing. Oops.by Richard Lawson via twitter 2/11/2013 1:05:39 AM -
And now... the biggest stars in the world of Music come together for one night (and one afternoon, possibly one morning as well, judging by the amount of pre-broadcast awards being pumped through the Grammy twitter feed). And how does it open? Taylor Swift in a top hat, some fools on stilts, and a bunch of bunnies breathing fire. Here we go, then… -

Wonder if the camera cutting Chris Brown out of that Rihanna crowd shot was done on purpose #grammysby Peter Lauria via twitter 2/11/2013 1:08:03 AM -
"Taylor Swift singing there that we would never ever get back together. But we always do get back together, and that's what makes this one of the greatest nights in music." Says LL Cool J, who then leaves a long and deliberate pause for a welling of warm applause from the crowd that never arrives.
But he's not phased by this. Because, as everyone knows, Ladies don't love Phased James. -

"I declare this Super Stop & Shop officially open!" - LL Cool Jby Richard Lawson via twitter 2/11/2013 1:14:10 AM -
Host LL Cool J proving that there's nothing like a searingly hilarious and incisive monologue to open an awards ceremony, by delivering something that is absolutely nothing like one of those.
He does, however, call out some of the nominees and their hometowns. Beyonce, Houston; Justin Timberlake, Memphis; Adele, England. I mean, strictly speaking, that's a country, but we'll let that slide for now. Or we would have done, if he hadn't followed that with Gotye, and Bruges, which is a very small town in Belgium. -
LL Cool J talking about hashtags. What even are we anymore.by Richard Lawson via twitter 2/11/2013 1:18:54 AM -
