GRAMMYS 2008 - OS VENCEDORES


Pois ontem foram atribuídos, em Los Angeles os maiores prémios da música dos Estados Unidos da América: os Grammys.

Nesta cerimónia, que comemorou meio século de prémios, as actuações foram grandiosas (a nossa preferida foi o dueto de Beyoncé com Tina Turner a cantarem "Proud Mary") e todo o glamour deste tipo de cerimónias esteve presente. Justin Timberlake, Robert Plant, Maroon 5, Prince, Beastie Boys, Alexandro Sanz, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna e até mesmo Barack Obama, foram alguns dos vencedores. Mas a grande vencedora foi Amy Winehouse, que apesar de não estar presente actuou ao vivo directamente de Londres e arrebatou 5 Grammys.

Porque a lista de vencedores é grande, e porque acompanhámos a cerimónia em directo de forma a termos as novidades mais frescas para os nossos leitores (assim que a cerimónia terminasse), e porque publicamos a lista de vencedores completa (pois todos merecem igual destaque, mesmo os artistas menos mediáticos) ... ficamos por aqui.

(pedimos desculpa por as categorias estarem em Inglês mas em algumas a tradução era traiçoeira, pelo que optámos por as escrever em Inglês)
