And the winner is...

Some early Grammys were awarded earlier:
Best Comedy Album: Jon Stewart and the cast of The Daily Show - The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Presents...America: A Citizen's Guide To Democracy Inaction
Best Compilation Soundtrack for a Motion Picture: Garden State
Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals: Ray Charles and Norah Jones - Here We Go Again
Best Pop Vocal Album: Ray Charles - Genius Loves Company
Best Rock Instrumental Performance: Brian Wilson - Mrs. O'Leary's Cow
Best Spoken Word Album: Bill Clinton - My Life

On MTV, Bono, Velvet Revolver, Stevie Wonder, Norah Jones, Alicia Keys, Tim McGraw and Brian Wilson will do a cover of The Beatles' "Across the Universe" before 8 PM. I hope I haven't missed it yet.

Interesting error:
Released after Charles' death in April, "Genius Loves Company" is the best-selling album of his career, with more than two million copies sold.
Ray Charles died in June, 2004, on the Thursday before President Reagan's funeral.
