Wow, what a night! First off, big congratulations to The Avett Brothers for a fantastic performance and great job backing up Bob Dylan!
Who wasn’t surprised by some of the night’s biggest awards? Lady Antebellum received the award for Song and Record of the Year, Esperanza Spalding won Best New Artist and Arcade Fire won Album of the Year. Never would have guessed it!
Here were my predictions. Overall, I got a terrible 39 right out of the 109 categories. Some of my “second choices” were correct; and I also oddly talked myself out of some winners… Oh well. With so many surprises in the main categories, I’m not shocked by my results.
