The 2010 Grammy Awards were last night in Los Angeles and below is the full list of winners from the night. Some of the highlights of the evening for me were when GaGa and Elton John (both clad in matching jewel encrusted sunglasses) had a piano throw down to open the Grammys, Pink and her full on acrobatics show (dangling in the air above the crowd on spandex hanging from the ceiling), always great to hear one of my personal guitar heroes-Slash-bust a noodle anytime and anyplace, Bon Jovi’s performance of “Livin’ on a Prayer,” Green Day’s performance of their “21 Guns” with the cast of their musical, and of course, my boy Dave Matthews singing his heart out.
