Here are the winners from the 2022 Grammy Awards
Big Grammy winners include Jon Batiste, Kanye West, Silk Sonic, Foo Fighters, Olivia Rodrigo, Doja Cat, and... Louis C.K.
One week after an Oscars ceremony that—to steal a joke from Scott Aukerman—was more like a retired train than a regular awards show (because it went off the rails, you see), the Grammys came in to try and bring some sense of normalcy to the awards-giving community with what was (mostly) a traditional and traditionally boring ceremony.
Of course, “tradition” for the Grammys means a ceremony that is, understandably, more about watching musical performances than it is about giving out little golden gramophones, and the 2022 Grammy Awards kept that tradition alive by presenting the vast majority of its awards in a “Premiere Ceremony” hours before the actual show started. Big winners in that block included Kanye West, St. Vincent, Foo Fighters, and… Louis C.K., none of whom were actually there to accept during the pre-show.
During both the Premiere Ceremony and the main show, big nominees include BTS, Bo Burnham, Lil Nas X, Jon Batiste, H.E.R., and Doja Cat. Big winners during the actual show included Olivia Rodrigo, Jazmine Sullivan, Chris Stapleton, Doja Cat, Silk Sonic (a surprising upset!), and Jon Batiste.
Below this is a list of all the major awards given out during the Premiere Ceremony and the regular show here. You can find the full list of winners at the Grammy Awards website.
