Grammy Awards 2013: Complete list of winners; Complete disregard for dress code (Photos)
Proving that even lukewarm banjo is so hot right now, Mumford & Sons' "Babel" brought home a top-tier Grammy for Album of the Year at the 55th annual Grammy Awards; the song that launched a thousand skips, "Somebody That I Used To Know" by Gotye featuring Kimbra, reveled in a Record of the Year win; the Black Keys' Dan Auerbach unlocked the secret of earning four statues (the most take homes from the night); and fun. won major awards for Best New Artist and Song of the Year for "We Are Young," featuring Janelle Monae.
Jay-Z and Kanye West had three wins — sharing one award with Frank Ocean who was shut out in the major categories, but took home two trophies, including Best Urban Contemporary album. Skrillex also had three, and and a number of nominees took home two, including former Best New Artist winner Esperanza Spalding.
As celebrities trotted the red carpet in the early afternoon, much skin and little regard for the "wardrobe advisory" issued by CBS was seen.
Below is the full list of winners from selected major categories that were announced Sunday during ceremonies at the Nokia Theatre and Staples Center.
