On the night of Sunday to Monday, January 29, New York's Madison Square Garden hosted the 60th Grammy Awards ceremony,.

The main triumphant was Bruno Mars, who won in six categories. Among the other winners is the author of the song "Putin" Randy Newman. Bruno Mars became the absolute leader of the current Grammy Awards - his "That's what I like" won in three nominations: "Best Song of the Year", "Best R & B Song", "Best R & B Performance". And the album "24K Magic" is recognized as "The Best Album of the Year" and "The Best Record of the Year".

British singer Ed Shiran also received several awards at once - for "The Best Vocal Album in Pop Style" and "Best Solo Performance in Pop Style".

"Grammy" for "Best song in the style of rap" was received by American rapper Kendrick Lamar.

Leonard Cohen was awarded the Grammy posthumously - his song "You want it darker" won in the nomination "Best composition in the style of rock".

Russian pianist Daniil Trifonov received the award for the best classical instrumental performance, and the song "Putin" by composer Randy Newman received the award for best arrangement.

Russian opera singer Dmitry Hvorostovsky was posthumously nominated in the category "Best Classical Solo Album" with the CD "Sviridov: Otchalivshaya Rus", but he did not win.

Canadian Alessia Kara won the award in the category "Best New Artist". She was the only woman to receive one of the main prizes.

Such stars as Lady Gaga, Kesha, Lordi and SZA did not receive any prizes. Of the 86 prizes, only 17 were received by women.

The disparity in terms of female winners was somewhat strange, given the fact that the organizers of the ceremony stressed their support for the campaigns #TimesUp and #MeToo, opposing sexual harassment and discrimination. Most of those attending the Grammy Awards came with white roses in support of these campaigns. This is reported by BBC Russian Service.
