The 63rd Grammy Awards - The Winners

Last night's ceremony, hosted by a chipper Trevor Noah, who kept the proceedings humming along nicely, saw big wins by women overall, upending years of being ignored in favor of their male counterparts.

Beyoncé, with her four wins out of nine total nominations, set a new record for Grammys won by women, while also tying uber-producer Quincy Jones, the current still-living record holder, with 28 trophies. The overall record stands at 31, so she'll undoubtedly be on top of everyone in a few short years …

Nice performances overall, even though the best moment was the In Memoriam segment, which featured several outstanding tributes.

Here are the winners in the main categories. For the full list, head on over here:
