Feb, 9 2009
Robert Plant and Alison Krauss were the big winners at Sunday night's Grammy Awards, walking away with five awards, including Album Of The Year and Record Of The Year, thanks to their collaboration album Raising Sand. Krauss had already won 21 Grammys, more than any other female artist, so she's soon going to need a bigger house to keep all her awards in. Coldplay scooped both Best Rock Album and Best Song, the latter for the former's title track "Viva La Vida" which is still subject to a plagiarism claim from Joe Satriani. After a terrible year, Jennifer Hudson nabbed the award for Best R&B album for her eponymous debut. Her award was presented by Whitney Houston, who’s had a few difficult years herself. Blink 182 announced plans for a reunion, in the wake of the airplane accident involving drummer Travis Barker which nearly put an end to any option for a reunion altogether; and Lil Wayne surprised nobody at all by walking away with the Grammy for Best Rap Album (Tha Carter III), and three more. More surprising was Radiohead, who were lucky enough to add another Grammy to their very, very slowly growing collection, thanks to an Alternative Album award for In Rainbows. Just another 23 to go to catch up with Ms Krauss, boys!

The nominations are in for the 51st Grammy Awards to be held in February next year. They were revealed during an hour long show co-hosted by platinum-selling rapper LL Cool J and hot new chart-topper Taylor Swift. The biggest potential winner and the star most likely to go home with a coveted golden gramophone is Lil Wayne, who takes the prize for getting eight nominations, but nipping at his heels is English band Coldplay with seven nods. Indeed, it’s been a great year for the Brits, with Radiohead, Estelle, Leona Lewis, Adele, Robert Plant, M.I.A. and Coldplay all receiving nominations, including the latter five filling every available slot in the coveted Record of the Year category. A victory for Plant's “Please Read The Letter”, a collaboration with 21-time Grammy winner Alison Krauss from their album Raising Sand, is the only way an American home might receive that trophy: but would she even have space to display it on her mantelpiece?

Illinois-born Alison Krauss is already a record-breaker for winning more Grammy Awards than any other female -- with an astonishing 21 little golden gramophones adorning her mantelpiece -- but she may about to achieve another landmark, something no American has ever done: win a Mercury Music Prize. Well, Antony Hegarty (of The Johnsons) won the prize given to the Best British Album of a given year back in 2005 for I Am A Bird Now, but although he lived in America from the age of 10, he at least was born in England. Now, bluegrass singer Krauss has been nominated alongside British rock legend Robert Plant for their collaborative record Raising Sand, which bowled over critics last year. To win the prize, they'll have to fight off fierce competition from artists like Radiohead, Burial, Elbow, and Estelle, among others. The ceremony will take place in London on September 9.
