We now have the full list of winners at the 2015 Grammy awards. The biggest night in America has ended and anyone expecting to win something has won it.
The 57th Grammy Awards which took place at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles, Califonia yesterday February 8th was as remarkable as it has been in previous years. In all 83 Grammy Awards were presented, one more than in 2014.
The event saw a whole list of celebrities across the world thronging to the centre to partake in the award ceremony one that is envied by many and our own Ghanaian musicians as well.
We at Ghbase.com couldn’t make it to go see it, but we were able to watch it on the internet and monitor it’s proceedings on other foreign media websites that were there to cover it live.
We would want you to know that not all Grammys were presented during the live telecast. In previous years, that the Grammy’s had been organised, most of the awards were handed out during the so-called pre-telecast ceremony, held at the Nokia Theatre next to the Staples Centre, which takes place in the afternoon before the man show.
Fortunately for 2015, this year’s Grammys has been known as the Premiere Ceremony, because about 70 Grammys were presented at this ceremony.
Now, see below the full list of winners at the 2015 Grammys, we will update you more right here on Ghbase.com on what happened in the night.
